Pizza baby!!! I've…read morebeen to those cities that never close down but this is still better than the pizza in Roma town. In my opinion it is better than most of the chains and hey, I was a Pizza Hut kid so I totally know what I'm talking about! I'm here to tell you that you cannot go past the Ham & Mushroom - add some red capsicum to that and you have one happy pizza. The pan sizing is pretty big too, you can get a large, family or party size, and I don't know about you guys but I prefer a generous, fluffy base rather than a thin pan: I want a pizza, not a biscuit, which is exactly what their lovely staff deliver! Dining in isn't a big occasion here, the space isn't really designed for families larger than four so it's lucky that takeaway is an option. The locals tend to refer to this place as 'Aldgate Pizza' rather than 'Aldgate Cafe'. in fact its only recently that I even discovered its true name, so if you are wanting to place and order abut you don't have the number - don't be like me and get into an argument with the person on the other end of the directory line when they tell you that Aldgate Pizza doesn't exist! because it is foremost a cafe, they just happen to make awesome pizza.

Takeaway pizza review:…read more This little nugget of legendary Hills food takeaway joints has eluded me for many years. Until 2015. I had the good fortune of swinging past the Aldgate café on my way home from a friend's place one Sunday evening a few weeks ago when my partner said 'Feel like pizza tonight?' to which I smugly retorted 'Do furry ursidae defecate in wooded areas?' That was a couple of months ago, and I'd forgotten how good the pizzas were. But again this Saturday eve, the question of whether I felt like pizza for tea was raised once again, and once more I answered like a smart alec. So we phoned up the Aldgate café and ordered a medium Mexican and a thai chicken pizza. Simple enough...until it came time to actually finish eating what we'd ordered! These pizzas were dynamite! So filling, and so so SSOOO tasty! I don't normally leave leftovers, but I had no choice. And it was still tasty the next day (feel free to hit me up for my leftover pizza reheating technique - guaranteed flavour country). The range of available styles is great, and the service was quick, for both delivery and in-store ordering. Don't miss this place if you're in or around the hills. It's tucked in amongst a few other shops, so it's easy to shoot past and not catch it, but it is a worthwhile food experience. They also have an affordable and decent range of drinks/wines inhouse.

When shops change hands it usually goes one way or the other, as in it gets better...or worse…read more In this case I'm sad to say that the quality of the product and service has significantly decreased. I remember there used to be this little plaque up on the wall that said "The Best Chips In the Hills" and I'm not sure if its still there but if it is...it lies. I can't fault them on their speed of service, the food is fast, but I have never seen a yiros made in such a way in all my days of drunken hunger. The salads also leave a lot to be desired, but then that could have something to do with my extreme dislike of tabbouleh and seafood extender. And I wouldn't recommend hitting up this place for some greasy food after a big night out, simply because the interior walls are painted in that horrible almost fluorescent green paint that will almost certainly have you leaving with a worse headache than when you walked in. Time to crank some sunglasses guys, this place glows likes its radioactive.

I go back and forth on this place…read more When I want something noodles or rice then it pretty much my go to. When I am sick, the seafood laksa is great as the spice really clears the head. The menu goes through some changes every now and then but the basic items remain. They even have menu headings now Rice, Noodle and Classic. There is always the option to build your own item depending on what you feel like and this place is licenced if you want a beer something though it's a small selection. The service is always great and watching the guys tossing the Woks can be mesmerising.

Sometimes I just have a craving for some cheap stir fry noodles, and when I do and I'm in the area, I head right here.

Just looking at this shop will make your mouth salivate for hours. The desserts are the most…read moremouth-watering items I have ever seen. A description does not give them justice but here we go- macaroons, mini cakes and chocolates, fresh strawberries and a chocolate fountain. Anywhere with a chocolate fountain wins so many points. There is something amazing about litres and litres of warm melted chocolate. All the items they sell are made in the shop and I bet they all taste delicious. Unfortunately, I did not have the money or the stomach room to sample everything, but Mum and I purchased macaroons, chocolates and coffee. The little chocolates were beautiful to look at; they had little patterns on top- the sort of thing that you think is too good looking to eat. The macaroon I had was salted caramel. I love salted caramel and it tasted good. Not the best macaroon I've had but definitely in the top 5! The shop itself does not have much seating especially outside. So it is possible that you may not be able to find somewhere to sit. But, you can get the desserts take away! Luckily enough we found a little table outside. All the outdoor furniture is quirky and doesn't match, I think this gives the café a nice feel and personality.

Generally, I go to Hahndorf for two things.....Beer and German Sausages. The last thing I expected…read moreto find in the main street was a Japanese restaurant that I liked! My inner Ninja-Samurai was doing cool wire-fighting back flips for joy when I entered this place, and for good reason. Haru is super happy smile time hi-five cool Joe! I have included a pic of the blown up menu that sits out the front so you can share in the awesomeness......firstly check out the spiral thingy. I saw these 'Twister Fries' on a food show recently, and I was stoked to find them on the menu at Haru! Basically they are a whole potato on a stick, cut in an unbroken spiral and deep dried.......How many times can I say awesome in one review? More, I can definately say it more! Many of the other dishes are stock standard, like the popular Chicken Katsu Don and, my personal favourite snack, Takoyaki. The Bento boxes are the big stand out though (along side the spiral spud). I tried the spicy pork Bento and it was Bento-lishes! Get on them, Awesome says it all!

*queues music* " I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning…read moreJapanese I really think so....." My love for Japanese food is very well documented on other social media streams! I just can't get enough. You might think that being in Hahndorf and being amongst a massive German sausage fest of eateries that I would order some good German fare. Been there, done that and another story for another time. Many years ago my husband and I stumbled across Haru. Initially we were hesistant. The plastic displays of what food they have on offer out the front of the shop puts a lot of people off. It's actually a great conversation piece as we see people stare at them and screw up their faces! It does not do their food any justice. The staff have always been attentive and friendly. Always going above and beyond to ensure that we have had an enjoyable meal. The food is simple, but it is good and has been consistently good over the years. That is what gives my review 4 stars. It's not a huge selection, just enough for a quick dine-in experience or takeaway. The kids enjoyed their sushi rolls which are reasonably priced. I usually go down the Chicken Katsu Bento box but this time I decided to mix it up and get the Beef Teriyaki Bento. My hubby got the Seafood Tempura Bento. Whilst we waited for the food, I got my order of Iced Green Tea Latte!! Mmmmm!! The food comes out and it looks good! "Itadakimasu" For around $14 for the bento, I think it is great value. The meal comes with a decent serving of rice, a miso soup, a delicious cabbage salad with a sesame mayo dressing, a little seaweed salad and pickled ginger, two slices of sushi roll, a mini spring roll and some edamame beans. The Teriyaki Beef was sweet and salty and good. It came in a thin gravy like sauce which I poured over my rice. The Seafood Tempura box came with a few prawns, a decent sized tempura covered Atlantic Salmon piece and a few tempura vegetables. I was lucky enough to eat the vegetable components because my husband is 'allergic' to vegetables - so he says! "Gochiso-sama deshita" (It means thank you for the meal)

We managed to snag a Sunday night reservation, make sure to make reservations as this restaurant is quite small. The building is actually a converted church, that has beautiful paintings on the walls and ceilings. The staff were incredibly friendly, there were plenty of pizza options on the menu, I opted for the ole Smokey, and loved it. I also got a glass of local wine. Not to mention, the food came out quickly. Only wish I got to see the beauty of Lost In a Forest during the day. Worth a visit!
