The Base Camp Restaurant Review










648 Glenferrie Road,
Hawthorn, Vic 3122
Phone: (03) 9818 0647


Food
Nepalese cuisine. The menu showed some reasonable selections, though only upon asking did we discover they also had a great value banquet available. The range of dishes on the banquet set menu appeared extraordinary at first, seeming to be a LOT of food. We asked if we should choose which dishes we wanted and were informed that we got ALL the dishes on the menu included. So we thought - great! As it turns out they were only small portions of each dish, but nonetheless it was a great banquet in which you got to sample a large range of foods of the nepalese cuisine, including lentil soup, 3 entrees, many mains with mildly spicy meats and veg with sides as well as 2 desserts - fruit salad and rice pudding.
Service
Very friendly service with a smile. A charming waiter served us. Professional and prompt.
Value
Especially good value if you go with the banquet. Pretty standard prices for mains, under $20 generally.
Decor and Atmosphere
The main front room boasts that,"Framed pictures of snowcapped Himalayan peaks such as the majestic Everest, Kanchenjunga and AnnaPurna adorn the walls while Nepalese flute and sitar music plays quietly in the background," though both times we have dined there in the past couple years we have been seated in a small extra room at the back which is wood panelled and cosy with tasteful nepalese decorations and dim lighting.

Café India Restaurant Review

Food
Great food. Tremendously good value, traditional Indian. I recommend trying the rose flavoured lassi to drink, yum.
Service
Very good service, friendly, polite and well timed.
Value
The best value indian food restaurant I have ever come across!! You will not find a cheaper 3 course banquet for indian food anywhere! And the quality is just as good as many of your much higher priced restaurants.
Decor
A little outdated with wallpaper etc, but cosy and a nice atmosphere.
