Now it’s become a regular stop on my trips to Sydney. I’ve found myself going out of the way to make it here and satisfy my craving for their indescribable betel leaf appetiser. It’s like nothing else I’ve had elsewhere. You must try it. It’s a beautifully balanced morsel of food that leaves you wanting more. The place is always filled with locals saying hello to each other and catching up on the goss before heading home after a great meal. Give it a try. I’ll be surprised if you’re disappointed by the great food, the cozy and simple atmosphere and great service. If that doesn’t draw you in. Perhaps the fact that it is BYO will and to help out on that front there’s a wine store two doors down. Enjoy. I’ll be back and perhaps see you there.

The only issue I had was the fact they closed up very early on a Saturday night and we were sort of moved on from the venue. It was only 9pm and we would have stayed for more drinks and dessert.
