Loved the 2 beef dishes we got, meat quality was outstanding (lean but tender) with sauce full of flavour. Garlic naan was perfect texture and the service was attentive and friendly.

Butter chicken and naan were spot on. Staff were friendly and efficient. Good portion sizes for the price. Convenient location near the station, made it easy for a quick business dinner. Solid option.

The poached apple crepes were so good! Perfect for a chill brunch with friends, and the balcony is a nice spot.

The courtyard is huge and so nice on a sunny day. Came for a drink and ended up staying for hours. It&rsquo;s a bit more expensive than the pubs nearby, but you&rsquo;re paying for that outdoor space.

Loved the vibe here, it&#39;s so cozy. The food and coffee just taste like a really good home-cooked meal, you know? Owner was lovely.

Great spot for a quick bite with my dog. He loved the food, and my Norcia sandwich was solid. Good tunes, decent prices. Perfect for a fast lunch.

Grabbed a chicken melt on a seeded bagel for lunch. They get it toasted just right, nice and crisp. My go-to for a quick bite when I&#39;m in a hurry. Solid spot.

I&rsquo;m a regular for their coffee. Always go for oat milk &mdash; it&rsquo;s just the right balance, smooth and not too bitter. My go-to spot when I need a reliable pick-me-up.

The fish and chips were spot on - crispy batter and the chips were perfect. Great happy hour deals too.

Jasmine&#39;s always got a friendly smile. The ice cream is fresh and full of flavour, just what you want.

First time trying their chicken banh mi. The bread was huge but hollow, so it&#39;s really all about that fresh, crunchy filling.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always reliable. Love grabbing lunch after a quick walk through the gallery next door. The spot just has this easy, quiet feel to it. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The staff here are so friendly and attentive. It&#39;s a reliable local spot with a great, welcoming vibe.

Love the pool tables here. It&#39;s such a chill spot for a relaxed afternoon. The staff are friendly and it never feels too crowded, which is nice. A good place to just switch off for a bit.

Grabbed a late-night pizza here after work. Staff were friendly, and it came out fast. The pizza was good, simple and hit the spot. Decent for a quick bite.

This was a very enjoyable lunch. The food was presented well and served in generous portions. Most of all, Juvy (the manager on duty) and her team provided prompt and efficient service.Juvy took a genuine interest in our experience at the venue and assisted us with our order byoffering alternatives to comply with my dietary requirements. Very much appreciated.Highly recommended.

Stayed upstairs for a night. The app check-in was easy, no fuss. Room was clean and modern, bed was comfy. The $30 bar voucher was a good touch, used it for a couple of drinks.

Gelato scoops were a bit small for the price. But the chocolate and coffee are the real deal. That dark chocolate flavour was intense. Came for that.

The croissant was just right - dense and buttery. The coffee and walnut bun was lush too.

Granola bowl and avocado smash toast with an extra egg. Got them on a quick lunch break. Food came out fast, which was perfect. The granola had a nice crunch. Toast was solid. Got me fueled up and back to the day.

Walk by this place and the vegan pastries always catch my eye. Had the potato and cauliflower burek this time &ndash; the pastry was so flaky and crisp, really nice texture. The filling was soft and just right.

Pork knuckle was spot on, tender with great crackling. Potato salad is the best around.

Lotus at Barangaroo has a really impressive menu variety including banquet sets. We did ala carte and were impressed with the wok fried flat rice noodles with prawns, crispy chicken and the wok fried seasonal vegetables. The BBQ pork with pastry sheets lacked lacklustre as the meat was not tender nor thin enough.

Staff were super friendly, especially the bartender. He really knew his stuff about the whiskey menu and took the time to walk me through the options. Made choosing a lot easier. Good vibe here.

Got a quick bite here after their recent reno. Place looks fresh and relaxed now. Lunch menu is well-priced, grabbed a takeaway sandwich. Perfect for a fast, no-fuss meal.
