Value for money, won't go away hungry. Very busy, visited on a Sat night. Must have 6 to book a table. Fixed menu usually best value. More

I frequent the Moroccan Soup Bar, and like some other reviewers, I was first surprised by the abrasiveness of the staff. But upon continuous visits I realise it's half the charm of this place. The food is beyond delicious and never fails to satisfy. I highly reccommend the set banquet and having a very empty stomach. Always come a little... More

Some of the reviews below are plain wrong. Yes, they do have soup (two kinds - haraira, which is spicy, and lentil, which is lemony). And you don't have to have the banquet. Though the banquet is good value. As its name suggests, it is a banquet. if you don't want to eat a lot, order individual dishes - talk... More

I noticed some people have rated this place down for the amount of food wastage. A friend had a container in the car so we snuck in a whole bowl we have leftover of this delicious yoghurt nut mix thing with crunchy bits in the bottom and nutmeg on top. So yummy. The dips looked interesting but I didn't dare... More

For $25 a head, we were absolutely flooded with food which made me feel like I was at an American all-you-can eat diner. It's tasty food, but god there was sooo much, it's such a sad waste to feed people that much and to then toss it out. A complete waste. There are only two options for dinner - 1.... More

What a great place! I wish we had one near me in Sydney. We took our own containers to the restaurant to have them filled with a selection of dishes for four of us dining at home. They chose what we were having, estimated the price and supplied us with a delicious, interesting selection from their menu. I look forward... More

The vegetarian restaurant is very popular, that you will have to line up to get a seat. There are no menus, but your host will come over and discuss what she has to offer. This is informal eating at its best. More

The Moroccan Soup Bar is a gem! All vegetarian food and a simple way of ordering. They don't have menus but ask you how hungry you are and provide a banquet based on this. (Price differences between hungry ($20) and very hungry ($25) is low). The best dish was pitta-bread nachos with chickpeas - it has a delightful nutty/buttery flavor!... More

every dish has its own deep, rich, and complex flavour, making the meal such an incredible experience of many textures and flavours. far out of the ordinary and superior to the usual dining offerings. difficult to describe, a must-try. ethically sourced ingredients as a bonus. More
