It seemed this was a one man show, with only one waiter,trying to cater for a near full house. Nevertheless, the food was good, and just the degree of hotness/mildness I liked. Very reasonably priced.

This restaurant is a hidden gem! We visited at a busy time of the year and unfortunately they were understaffed. However once the food arrived our wait was forgotten. The restaurant had a alluring atmosphere. The aromas from the kitchen enlightened our taste buds. The sole waiter was professional and friendly in his approach. However he was noticibly overextended through... More

This was a Thursday night at 6pm before the theatre and we were the only customers there! Decor is a little clichéd and dark and pokey but it was fine.

We're in Canberra for the weekend staying at the Novotel. It was a long drive from Sydney and we arrived late enough to want to eat locally.

I went there with a really big group (about 40). We took up nearly the whole bottom floor and had some people seated upstairs as well. I think the Maître d' did really well to deal with such a large group - who hadn't made a full booking. There only seemed to be about 4 staff on including 2 in... More

Great atmosphere with the velvet and couches, and the food is sensational! Great for large groups and banquets.
