Best pizzas and great price. Can't go past a Four Seasons plus garlic. Never a long wait, speedy service. Always do pick up so can't comment on delivery.

We got take away from here. I had the massamam beef and asked for coconut rice to go with it. The beef was extremely tough and chewy, not what I'd expect from slow cooking. The coconut rice was the most disappointing, you could see where they'd tipped the coconut into the existing rice, into the middle of the container. I had to mix it myself to work the flavour through it, and even then the flavour was average.
Would not eat here again, particularly after expecting higher quality as its not cheap at all.

Approximate cost: $17

Great value, and quite cheap for a meal. Turnover not quite as high as similar places so depending on when you go, may not be as fresh. Having said that, its only the difference between just cooked and a few hours since cooked.
If the kitchen is open they will make you something with a variation, such as no olives for me.
Lots of lebanese groceries and fresh foods available.
Love going here.

Haloumi cheese pie/pizza here is fantastic. Majority of the time its extremely soft, just how I like it, due to the very large turnover of this place.
Cheap for some things but not for others. Some pizzas are $7 and for what that are thats a bit pricey, when at other bakeries with the equivalent they are only $5. But if you don't care about the price, the quality is excellent.
Cheap and nice coffee too, with $2.50 for my standard dine-in flat white.

Love eating here, especially the penang beef that comes with a side of rice. Quite cheap, not many places you can eat from under $10 and be satisfied.
My partner gets the Nasi Goreng and loves it as its not spicy.
I like eating in as you get free hot tea.

Approximate cost: $9.00

We wanted to give our old, pink bathroom a modern look, without having to completely renovate it. A new shower screen was installed, which was put on crooked on one side and without corners lining up on the other. The shower base, bath and all tiles were painted white with their special paint. After about 2 months, the paint in the shower base has cracked all along the sides. For both the shower base and the bath, the slightest drop of something such as a shampoo bottle chips the paint, leaving the original pink base showing through. The tiles were also regrouted. Cheap or incorrect sealant was used that is not mould resistant and has yellowed and grown mould, looking very poor quality against the white paint on the tiles. After many attempts to get them back out to repair, I was told my warranty had expired due to a change in business ownership and now have had to attempt to seal the paint cracks myself. Extremely disappointed considering the total cost.

Approximate cost: $2250

We're looking for the best pizza in the area and have tried about 5 places so far. This is the best one so far. Nice pizzas. Not too oily. I think the cheese quality let it down a little, but other than that, nice. Service was good. Got the 2 large + soft drink offer for $23. Good value.

Purchased a Treadmill. Did not skimp on price. Cannot prove it, but fairly certain we were delivered a floor model on the first go. When we weren't happy, they replaced it which was great (without any fuss which was surprising), however, on the next try, there was an issue with the speakers constantly making a buzzing sound when the treadmill was plugged in, even when it was not turned on. This time I was told, quite abruptly, I would have to deal with the manufacturer. Absolutely no concern for the fact we had nothing but trouble with the treadmill. 2 months on I am still waiting for parts, with no concern from the store as they have already been paid.

An update on this is that the store replaced the treadmill with a new one, different brand. Have had no problems since. After a long hassle, turned out well in the end and happy that Elite ensure we were happy with a new treadmill.

Approximate cost: $1700
