Kanzaman Restaurant Review

458 - 460 Bridge Rd,
Richmond, VIC 3121
Tel: (03) 9429-3402

Food
Middle Eastern/Lebanese Cuisine. A diverse array of dishes, some delicious dips and lebanese breads to start, some flavoured meat entrees, focus on meats and rices. Lovely and unusual desserts that are very sweet.
Service
Very helpful, attentive and polite.
Value
Good value, you can have as many main courses as you can eat if you choose the banquet, but you will get very full! $38 per person for this banquet or add an extra $10 for seafood, includes dips, entrees, mains, desserts, coffees. So you can find cheaper banquets but as I said, you will get a lot of food for this.
Decor and Atmosphere
The interior decoration here is unbelievable and fantastic! Elaborate murals throughout, gorgeous interiors very well decorated, pressed metal painted ceilings, lovely lighting. And add to your evening's entertainment with a featured belly dancer, who was both delightful and gorgeous.

Afghan Village Restaurant Review

923 Burke Rd,
Camberwell
Phone: 03 9882 2775

Food
Afghan Village serves cuisine from North Afghanistan, using traditional recipes. What a pleasant surprise this restaurant was! The food is as intoxicating as it is unique. Authentic entrees include Ashak and Matoo, beginning a fantastic great value 4 course banquet which displays an interesting array of afghani dishes, each as delightful as the one before. You get entree, mains, dessert and a special hot drink to your taste all included with your meal. Personally I felt the aromatic green tea with cardamon was a delight.
Service
Wonderful, friendly and genuine people - which always adds so much to the experience. Great service and explanation of dishes.
Value
An excellent value 4 course banquet for $30 per head. I would highly recommend this option.
Decor and Atmosphere
Small, cute and very well decorated with traditional Afghan paraphenalia that adds to the experience of an unusual cuisine and flavour. (Only one of a few Afghan restaurants in Australia) An air conditioned and very comfortable atmosphere complements an all round enjoyable experience.

Garamerica Restaurant Review

230 Dorcas Street
South Melbourne Vic
Phone (03) 9696 2192

The name of this new and already popular restaurant is derived from Gara and Merica which is Salt and Pepper in Indonesian.
Food
Authentic Indonesian Cuisine that was for me, unique and absolutely divine! I loved every delicious course. Don't be confused with the Drinks and Desserts being grouped together on the menu. We ordered 'Es Teler' and found it was a dessert not a drink. So my partner had his dessert before his mains by accident! But wow, you do have to try this unique dessert! It would be very refreshing on a summer night as it is served with a snowy ice mountain and drips of condensed milk on coconut, avocado and jackfruit.
Service
Very prompt. Great service.
Value
This website aims to feature the best value restaurants in Melbourne, and boy does this one qualify! We ordered a 3 course meal for 2 people with extras and got out of there for $35 total!
Decor and Atmosphere
Quite plain. The only let down we had is that we were seated in a small back room instead of the main eating area, which would have had a much nicer atmosphere. Therefore I would say book in advance to be seated out front, as it was all reserved.

Rani Indian Restaurant Review

358 Koornang Rd
Carnegie VIC 3163
Phone (03) 9578 5894

Food
A great banquet available with so much food and choice I challenge you to be able to eat it all! Very generous portions and delightful dishes. Their kulfi is also awesome for dessert.
Service
Very friendly, sometimes a little slow but worth the wait. They run a busy takeaway service at the same time, out in the back room.
Value
Excellent value!
Decor
Pretty daggy. But the food and value lets you overlook a few outdated decorations.

Colonial Tramcar Restaurant Review

Departs from tramstop #125 Normanby Road
near the corner of Clarendon Street,
adjacent to the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and Crown Casino.
Reservations office Ph:03 9696 4000

Food
Set menus are offered, there is not a huge range of choice, but this is a small mobile kitchen. With the limited facilites, they do a great job with the food and it's well presented and tasty. Some great wine too, or your choice of drink with the meal and journey.
Service
Efficient, well presented and informative.
Value
Ok, you'll pay a fair bit more than your average restaurant, but you are paying for a journey and an experience here unlike any ordinary restaurant.
Decor
Delightful, beautifully restored old trams. Reflecting a bygone era. Small but gorgeous.
