Wining & Dining in Manawatu-Wanganui

26th September 2011
Have dined here twice in the last two months and both times have been great. Service is excellent. The butter chicken is to die for, and is served with interesting things like onion bhajees. Tasted so authentic. Great value for money. Last time I had the fish and chips and the fish was beautifully fresh. Chips were a little lukewarm but they were still edible. Large portion for $18. Nice airy, large restaurant with big screen tvs for games etc. I like how there's a distinct bar area and dining area - you can choose to sit in either. Great restaurant.

Great concept on carving meat at the table as well as eating as much meat as you like for $35 each you also get a antipasto platter an some bread. The fresh pesto and the bread was the stand out of the plate, not a typical antipasto platter but was large. Veage were undercooked (except potatoes)and came out early. The venue was a little small and you could watch the chefs that was good except they were preparing food for the other resturant next door and the food looked alot better than what we were having. Also we could see that the chefs were drinking beers. The hospitality was very good and kept our water topped up for the whole night. Over priced drinks $12 for one cocktail and $10 for a small peice of cheese cake at the end, so over all takes the total over $100. In reflection we could have gone to speights ale house an had a starter a main and maybe a drink for the same price.
