Always love eating here, however the last order was the best I’ve ever had! Chicken burger and beef hand-burger was so fresh. Maybe I missed it while they were on holidays. Great stuff as always

A nice takeaway place with some great and resonably priced food! Service was warm and welcoming. If you're making your way from Canberra to Melbourne or the other way, this is a great place to refuel before continuing the loooong journey.

I got a fish souvlaki here to give me the energy to drive back to Melbourne. I asked the guy to cut it in half as I wasn't so hungry. He did so and even put it into two separate bags for me. Well, once I started eating could I stop at half? Uh Uh, I had to eat the whole thing because it was so delicious and fresh. Fabulous food and friendly service!
