Ipoh Jaya Restaurant Review

90 Queensberry Street
Carlton VIC 3053
Phone (03) 9349 2988

Food
Malaysian hawker style, with a few other cuisines mixed in to the menu. Some nice hot curries available. Also a full bar service for parties etc.
Service
Fairly attentive service.
Value
Banquets at a slightly higher price than some, but not too bad. Average meal price around $15 a head for a single dish.
Decor
Kind of quirky and ecclectic. The restaurant is on the first floor, upstairs in an old style building.

Nyonya Malaysian Restaurant Review

191 Lygon Street
Carlton VIC 3053
Phone (03) 9347 8511

Food
The food is great, a wonderful selection of dishes in the banquet. I have been here a couple of times and always enjoyed the meals. On my most recent visit though we were advised there was no dessert available with the banquet and they replaced it with singapore noodles. The singapore noodles were lovely, but I would have preferred the dessert after the main course.
Service
Prompt service. There was a bit too much hovering around our table while we were eating however. I think diners prefer their space when eating.
Value
Good value prices.
Decor
Pretty average, nothing flash. Could use some sprucing up.

Food
Traditional Indian Cuisine. Absolutely delicious and very filling. Great presentation too.
Service
Service is good, a little slow sometimes but pretty good overall
Value
Well priced. I've had cheaper indian but it's no rip off. The banquet has plenty of food included if you go for that option.
Decor
Traditional indian decorations and pics in a lovely old Lygon Street building. Has a great atmosphere here. I've returned many times to this restaurant.
