Dined in with a couple of friends, we ordered the house banquet a head) which we really enjoyed. It was recommended to us by our waiter. The grilled mushrooms were my favourite. This place ticked all the boxes.

Weber eaten here previously and the food was great. Not tonite though. Started off with a totally hopelessly slow waiter. The restaurant was not very busy yet he was just hopeless and had no customer service skills whatsoever. Our meals weren’t very nice at all...and we both regretted that we ate here. Tasteless chicks of chewy chicken meat on a skewer. Half a plate of bland gluggy rice. The tabouli was ok but that was about it. It was really disappointing. Horrible food and hopeless service won’t be going back again

Husband and I shared the banquet everything was delicious. The service was fantastic and the food came regularly and was consistently good. Would love to go back when we stay in Canberra again.

Very good food, and great service, and, big enough to cope with most Covid restrictions if you make a booking at the last minute. There are smaller tables and a more enclosed area if you want a more intimate dinner, or a huge floor for...the big function. The banquets are great value dips, entrees, meats, veggies and dessert all at a decent pace that's never too fast or too slow, though it's worth breaking out and choosing the specials, especially the desserts. One of the big surprises here is the wine list, which contains some great value, original choices by the owner go with the recommended wines.
