It's hard to find a good Fish And Chip shops that ticks all the boxes…read more How does one rate a take away shop that deals primarily in potato products? Coming from a vegetarian that doesn't eat fish, I have found the best way to tell you have found a worthy chip shop is if they do good chips and good potato cakes. It may sound strange, but 90% will do one and not the other. Another consistency that has slowly disappeared form the chip shops code is the free potato cake with any purchase. The Basin Fish & Chip Shop not only honours this sacred code, but will even throw in a freebie if you order as little as 2 potato cakes. Am I sounding like a potato freak yet? Well, you can't hide the truth I guess. I wear my fascination with pride and write this review as a life long lover of good fish and chips. One other menu item worth noting is the 'Mars Bar in Batter". The Basin Fish & Chips was the first place I knew of to cook these oddities. Just as it sounds, they take a Mars Bar, better it and drop it in the oil for a few seconds, creating a gooey, sweet snack that is sure to have your heart looking for work elsewhere.

The seasoning is amazing, and really compliments the taste of the flake. Sometimes their chips are on the soggy side, but you can buy food from here with the confidence that you're going to get something great. A good solid fish and chip take away option.

Jimmyz kebabs and hsp's, are delicious, Jimmyz is always busy every time I go past or go in there…read morewhich is always a good sign. They have a few tables and chairs but the focus is on take away. The shop is rather small but looks clean and well laid out. The guy behind the counter (Jimmy?) Is a friendly, nice guy when you engage him in conversation. The salads, cheese and sauces all look nice and fresh. In my opinion, Jimmyz make the best kebabs and hsp's to be had for miles around. The quality of the lamb is a cut above others I have tried and they also do chicken but I haven't tried that. So if your near Boronia and this sounds like you, try them out.

Mountain Gate Charcoal Chicken has only recently been taken over by new owners and it shows. The…read morestore is cleaner, the food looks fresher and the staff are a hell of a lot nicer. I've visited it a few times, both before and after the change and I can definitely give it the thumbs up now. They make a really good chicken schnitzel and while I am yet to have some, their salads look beautiful. They take phone orders but do not do take away. There are some stools inside the shop for people sit down and eat. If it wasn't so hot in there almost all the time it would be a nice place to sit. The stools line the window looking out and it is fun to watch all the people walking past. They have a pretty large range of drinks as well as the hot food and salads so make sure you grab one of those from the fridge. The service here is also really speedy, which is definitely a plus if you're on the way home from work and grabbing something for when you get home. No one wants to wait a long time and these guys seem to understand that. If you're after some chicken, you can't go past this store at Mountain Gate. It's pretty yummy!

Probably the biggest rip off charcoal chicken I've been too. $3.20 for a spoon not even full of…read morepotato scallop is outrageous! I was shocked when I was informed it would cost that much. Then it cost .70cents for gravy on your chips which is standard but if you ask for it in a tub they charge you $2.80 or $3.00 for a tub! Complete rip off & customer service isn't the greatest! Will not be going back there ever again!

Delightful. That is the one word to describe the experience of eating and drinking at Uni Boom…read moreBoom. I have been reading about this place for quite a while, but it is not conveniently located and the hours it is open are not particularly convenient either (I lived in L.A. for a long time, everything is alway open and its tough getting used to 3 - 5 p.m. closures), but I will go out of my way for quality food, and quality is what I kept hearing about Uni Boom Boom, and I'm so glad I made the effort. Yes, it is completely as described, in an industrial area next to a roll up garage, and yes, they have done a great job of the interior of this cafe - it does have a cafe vibe, but is done well, certainly not over the top on decor. Food and presentation is another thing. I love it when restaurants with unusual dishes offer a tasting plate, and that is what I ordered - it offered a Lychee Edible Nest Drink, which is one of the things I really wanted to try, and it was delicious and cold and served in the most gorgeous little pineapple shaped cup. They also included their foie Gras dish, also superb. Australian Uni, also very good. Braised Abalone which was tasty but more whole than braised and a small salmon sushi bite, which could have had more salmon, and way too much rice, but fabulous taste and texture ! I actually took some salmon sashimi home - the absolute best I have had in Melbourne, and thoughtfully packed with ice. I also tried their uni and salmon cones, which were very good. I also had the Peach Gum tea which was delicious, and what I loved about it was that they asked what level of sugar you wanted added. You could also have it hot or cold and choose how cold. I love drinks extra cold, and this did not disappoint. It was also served in a larger version of the pineapple cup. There is a choice of 3 deserts, all containing the Bird's Nest prosperities. The ice cream was tempting, but I went for the macaroons which also came with the birds nest tea in a clear container, shaped like a bird ! and a spoon that was heart shaped ! just delightful ! Definitely coming back and committing to a full portion of so many other wonderful things offered, especially the sashimi which looked fresh, thick and oh so tasty on a couple of the other tables. Definitely worth the drive and fitting in with their operating hours !

Inside you'll find sea urchin and edible bird's nest, two of the top 10 most expensive ingredients in the world. The exterior of The Roe can be deceptive. Customers have said they thought it's a normal warehouse walking past everyday until they heard music or chatter, walked in and realised it's a private restaurant that specialize in Sea Urchin and edible bird's nest. We wants to find the balance between keeping the metal, quirky character of the warehouse and making it comfortable. The light-filled space has been fitted with informative posters of edible bird's nest and sea urchin, acting as a experience cafe for crafting experimental sea urchin dishes. The Roe specialized in sea urchin and edible bird's nest, sourcing the ingredients from its mother companies, Pacific Sea Urchin and Sen Lin Tang (AUS) Pty Ltd. We loosely revolves around Japanese and Chinese cuisines. The menu is inspired to allow customers to enjoy Australian Sea Urchin and edible bird's nest at a relatively affordable price.
