Visited again after a 30 year gap and loved it all over again. Its certainly changed but still great. Vegetarian options: Good range of vege options.

Lets cut to the chase. This place is cozy and calm, with a nice garden entry and outdoor seating. I was greeted on arrival by Tori, and that greeting... read more was wholesome. Yes, the place looks understaffed but it actually helped me have a better experience in a way. In fact, every table is attended by a staff member atleast twice to make sure everything is going well. If at all any, the wait time here felt better than that at other places. Let me tell you why. This is a place where you come with your family and spend time talking while waiting, and while having food. This is a place where you come with your girlfriend on a weekend morning and have a lovely conversation that makes your relationship more beautiful. Some people might say that the service is slow. To be honest, it’s not slow and one reason could be that they’ve learnt from past feedback. My order arrived in 15 minutes. I was given my drink first, my Garlic bread next and my main dish a while after. They made sure my table had something to eat/drink. I see the wait time as the time you will spend with your loved ones while enjoying a decent instrumental music on mid-low volume in the background, while waiting for fresh and delicious food that’s worth the wait. This is not a fast food centre. They cleaned the tables straight away when customers leave, even though the place is not very busy. I’ve seen lots of other places where they leave the plates on the table for hours. Overall, if you want to set your mood right, if you want to settle small misunderstandings with your close ones or just want to get some relief from the work- life stress, I would personally recommend this place. P.S: NO. I AM NOT BEING PAID FOR THIS REVIEW.

The restaurant is simple but elegant and non-pretentious. I took my friends here for dinner last Friday and we had such a pleasant experience. Booking was smooth, the food was... read more great, service was also good and the ambience and the vibe were just nice and relaxed. I didn't get to try their Turkish coffee because I was so full but my friend said it's very good. Of course I have to come back and try it. Will I come back or recommend this place to people? Definitely! Nice restaurant in Glebe. Caters for both non vegan and decent vegan food also.
