Lovely spot for a Sunday lunch with the group. The pasta was good, but the wine list could use a few more interesting local options by the glass.

Decent selection of Japanese beers on tap. The plum wine was a nice touch, really enjoyed it. For the price, I&#39;d expect a bit more variety in the drinks though.

Stumbled upon this spot and really liked it. The food was tasty and not too heavy, which was nice.

Decided to try this place for the first time. The portions are huge for what you pay, honestly. We couldn&#39;t finish everything. Good for a casual feed with mates.

First time trying goat nihari here. The meat was incredibly tender, just fell right off the bone. The haleem was also a great choice.

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s my go-to for a proper Japanese lunch. The salmon donburi is always fresh, and the miso soup is just right. No fancy decor, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Met the family here for a Sunday lunch. The coffee is reliably good, which is a plus for a catch-up. Food was solid, no complaints. Staff were pleasant and efficient. A convenient spot for a straightforward meal.

Service was really nice, staff were polite and attentive. Food came out super fast too, which was a plus. Good spot for a quick bite.

Friendly staff and quick service, even when it&#39;s packed. It&#39;s a tiny place, so you&#39;re definitely sharing the buzz with everyone else. Gets pretty loud when full, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Booths are the way to go here. Cosy and tucked away, felt like our own little nook. The deep-dish pizza was lovely, and the chocolate cake was a hit. Just had to wait a bit to get the bill sorted.

The new location is convenient, has lovely decor, and the service and food remain as wonderful as they were previously. The presentation of the food, if anything, has improved. A must try for lovers of Indian cuisine.

Found this spot tucked away in a laneway. The pastel walls and neon sign give it a cool, quirky feel. Grabbed a takeaway flat white, which was surprisingly smooth and rich. Perfect little hidden gem for a quick, quality coffee fix.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Cugini&#39;s. The antipasto platter was copious and the generous serving of osso bucco pasta was delicious. We finished with a lovely tiramisu. A great meal, with excellent service, and a real bargain with the Fork discount.

Liquid cheesecake was the move. So creamy. Tarte tatin also spot on. Desserts are definitely their thing.

The portions are definitely generous! I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted. The space inside is surprisingly large, with three floors. It felt quite sophisticated, but still relaxed enough for a casual dinner.

This was a delicious dinner. Each dish is so unique. Service was great. My husband &amp; i agreed that this was the most enjoyable Indian meal we have had. Thank you.

Had a team lunch here. Spacious place, traditional decor. Good mix of classic dishes and yum cha. Service was efficient, got us in and out within the hour. Convenient for a business meal.

The food was pretty good, all handcrafted. Service was decent and the atmosphere was nice. A solid dinner overall, though it did feel a bit on the pricey side.

This is my favourite restaurant in St Kilda! The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. Being coeliac and having a completely gluten free menu, it means I will keep coming back to try all the menu items. The courtyard is dog friendly which is also amazing!

The staff were so nice, really friendly and they seemed to genuinely like being there. It made the whole dinner feel relaxed and easy. Just a really pleasant experience.

Na and Ms. Chau were so lovely and attentive. They remembered our table&#39;s preferences and checked in just the right amount. Made the whole lunch feel really personal.

Friendly staff. They were really helpful when we couldn&#39;t decide on a wine. Made the whole dinner feel relaxed.

The owner was so friendly and really made us feel welcome. It was fun watching him pick and shuck the oysters right in front of us - made the whole vibe super chill and perfect for a casual catch-up with friends.

Iga Bakar was so tender, and the duck leg special just fell apart. Perfect for sharing with a couple of friends over a long catch-up. The only thing is, you gotta be ready to get your hands a bit messy! 😅

The egg tarts were a real treat, still warm and with a nice flaky crust. The rest of the meal was pretty good, authentic flavours. Service was friendly, though the place got a bit loud later on.

Pizza was really good, but they ran out of the dough I wanted around 8pm. Guess that&#39;s what happens when a place gets this busy. Next time I&#39;ll try to get there earlier.

The sausage and mash was good, but the real star was the house-made gravy. Paired perfectly with a robust red wine.
