Saigon Gate is a restaurant located towards the northern end of O’Connell Street. The menu is primarily Vietnamese, however, some of their items are a fusion of other Asian cuisines. The place is traditionally decorated with a seating capacity of about 70. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was pretty good. The…

Rose Garden Thai
Don’t judge a restaurant by its crappy decor. This rings very true, particularly for this place. The external appearance of this place reminds me of a run down crack house, while the internal is a bit more presentable. I would never have considered this place had I not read some positive reviews of the place….
Babanusa
Babanusa is a restaurant located on Prospect Road. It has been open for 18 years and is Australia’s only Sudanese restaurant. The place must be doing something right to last that long. The decor here is basic and slightly traditional. The bongo drums, the ornaments hanging off the walls and the extensive use of timber,…
Auge Ristorante
Auge is an award winning fine dining Italian restaurant on Grote Street. This place has such a good reputation, they can get away with charging higher prices for their food. With entree prices similar to what you would pay for a main at a normal restaurant, and main prices around the $40 mark, make sure…
Fortune Duck
My friend decided she wanted Chinese food tonight and she wanted something along Gouger Street, so I randomly picked a Chinese restaurant that I haven’t reviewed. Based on the number of customers currently dining in the restaurant at the time, I chose Fortune Duck. A restaurant with very few customers often says something about the…
Ruby Red Flamingo
For those who intend on eating here, no bookings are accepted at this Ruby Red Flamingo. If you come early enough, getting a seat shouldn’t be a problem. The dining area is a combination of formal and semi-outdoor. We were escorted to the semi-outdoor area which consisted of a mismatch of decor. The glasses at…
Tangritah Uyghur
Tangritah Uyghur is located in a room the size of my double garage with a kitchen area concealed in the back part of the building. The decor here is very basic with a few decorative ornaments hanging off the walls. The tables were very narrow and the neighbouring chairs were too close to one another. The…
Lucky Lupitas
Lucky Lupitas is amazingly popular, even on a weeknight! While the neighbouring restaurants barely had any customers, there were people lining up to get a seat at this place. A tip for those who come here when it’s busy; go inside and put your name down for the waiting list. There are benches outside that…
Raj On Taj – Hyde Park
There’s some really special about the restaurants along King William Road. I have discovered 4 quality restaurants literally within metres of each other. One of the restaurants should have received a 5 star review had it not been for the foreign object I found in one of my dishes. Raj On Taj is just simply…
Chefs Of Tandoori Express
Chef’s of Tandoori Express is an Indian take away store and a child to the parent restaurant store out in the suburbs. Located in the Renaissance Arcade, the menu options are not as extensive, but they still offer all your Indian favourites. The pricing is more than reasonable with a single curry and rice starting…
