Village Curry House Restaurant Review

144 Sydney Road
Brunswick, VIC
Phone: (03) 9387 5798

Food
Sri Lankan cuisine including various styles of curry and some unusual dishes and drinks on the menu. The menu selection looked quite enticing, but the reality didn't live up to the expectations in my opinion. The spicy meat entree appeared to contain little meat; the choice selections of beef promised for my spicy mains were in fact overcooked, tough, dry and unappealing. The side dish of roti bread was served on the same plate as the entree (a little confusing) and one of the entrees came out as a side dish with the mains. The drinks sounded exotic but were overly sweetened.
Service
Fairly slow. For some strange reason the main waitress was wearing a hospital style hairnet/shower cap.
Value
All very reasonable priced, no complaints with the pricing.
Decor and Atmosphere
Cafeteria style, a little cheap and tacky looking. Not much ambience here.

Warwick Thai Restaurant Review

Food
Thai food, not a very large selection on the menu. No extras. Not the fanciest or best ever thai dishes, but they do provide really large portions, so you get plenty of food with your main meal.
Service
Good service. They have a very large room to wait on, so they miss you occasionally, but they're pretty good considering.
Value
Good value, as you get plenty of food for your dollar. Banquets only available for large groups.
Decor and Atmosphere
Really quite an interesting interior (see photo above). Huge space! Looks like an old style hall or church inside. A separated section for takeaway at the front, and a gorgeous looking dining room up front that must be for special occasions. A bit stuffy, could do with some better air circulation. I wouldn't want to be there on a hot night. Some music wouldn't go astray.
