"I really liked the look of this place. Upon arrival, you are directed to a table, where mezza is already waiting for you. Top ups, needed to be requested, but weren’t denied. Overall, the experience was okay, but there were some negatives. I didn’t like how this is a cash only venue, and that all drinks were priced the same at $10, including a small 300ml bottle of sparkling water. Also that the waiters requested cash on the spot, every time we ordered a drink. The music basically started from 8pm and didn’t stop all night, making it hard to have any conversation with the people you are attending with. Also there wasn’t any allocated area for guests to stand up and dance, which I feel defeats the purpose of having a live band singing dance tunes. I don’t think I’ll be returning to this venue any time soon."

"WOW what a place and what a vibe. Great food, great entertainment, great drinks and fantastic customer service! Love the free entrainment. It has been a while since I have been to a place with such a vibe! Love the pay at the door method - that way you don't need to disrupt the end of the night with dealing with the money. Very reasonable price for the amount of food. Can't wait to make this my usual hang out night!"

"The food is really good and honestly priced pretty well although $65pp sounds like a lot it really isn’t for the amount of starters and mains you get I think prices might be increased soon or amount of food will be reduced haven’t tried their shisha yet but they’re banquet is really good however the place is mostly meant for entertainment and music and stuff like that but when we went it was not busy at all and the vibe didn’t match what we were expecting it was relatively to the boring side and there wasn’t much entertainment the belly dancer wasn’t good at all I feel like she should either be replaced or they just cancel the belly dancer thing there are other things I can write about but I think you get the point good food and good value but not exactly the place to go if you were expecting to party and get drunk to be honest and I almost forgot to add the music is too loud"

"Wow what an amazing experience, nothing like this in sydney! The decor, atmosphere and entertainment really transported us to Dubai. Dinner was delicious and really interesting, it was a banquet style meal with very generous servings, all of the Mezze barely fit on the table! Very luxurious venue they really paid attention to all the finer details even the bathrooms were gorgeous perfect for a girls night."
