We went to eat dinner here last night and I have to admit the service at Annapurna was horrible…read more The wait staff forgot we were in the restaurant several times. They did not take our order for 20+ minutes and then when we had realized no one had taken our order, we caught their attention and they took our order. Then when it was time to bring our food out, they brought over part of our food and then by the time the rice came and naan came, the other food became cold. Their food in general was ok and it was nothing special. Don't waste your time going there and don't be fooled with the fact that this place is so packed / busy. Aussies just love Indian food, more than people do here in the United States, so everyone just goes there giving the illusion that it is good. Also it probably doesn't hurt that it is conveniently located in Salamanca where all the cool restaurants and bars are. I heard from lot of people that Bombay House is much better. But it is a $5-10 cab ride away and we did not get a chance to experience it.

Yummy curry dishes include rice and condiments. I recommend the vegetable pakora, three big cakes of fried veggies with a nice flavour. Both the naan and roti are delicious. They come with garlic, spinach, mushrooms, cheese or plain. There is a wide variety of dishes and a good ambiance for groups, couples or solo dining. I would recommend eating here or getting takeaway as the prices are slightly lower but still on par with other tourist spots nearby.

Best value fish and chips in Hobart, and they're absolutely delicious…read more I'm from Melbourne and was stranded on the east side of Hobart, thought I'd roll the dice with this place and it turned out to be fantastic! The value is unbelievable, something like 4 dim sims for $2! Will definitely be returning, it's a shame they don't have more publicity. Also a pity I deleted the menu shots to show you all, but you won't be disappointed! There's dedicated parking in the form of a 'court', so don't stress about finding parking on that busy highway.

They had a nice vibe with a fireplace, but that hardly justified the prices, which were high…read more Setting that aside for the moment, they're affiliated with a vegetarian restaurant, and they offer plenty of choices that can be reliably fish-free. I just wasn't that impressed with what I got though. The sambal tofu was small in portion size, and there was a lot of some sort of squash the menu hadn't mentioned and not that much tofu. It was tasty and a bit spicy, but not nearly good enough to be worth getting on any kind of regular basis. I will say that though the price was high, they were open over Easter break and didn't have an extra surcharge during that period (as is not uncommon in Australian business), so that's good. But while the service and ambiance were nice, I felt I could have done better.

However, don't underestimate this place - the Ice Cream is Valhalla (brilliant Tasmanian-made ice cream) and if you avoid the bain marie items you get delicious fresh Asian food fast. Personally, I recommend you order the Beef Noodle Soup and pile on lots of the [very hot] chilli oil that is available on most tables. It will burn you to a crisp but you will love every bite!

My close friend recommended I visit MONA specifically for The Source as it was the best meal he'd…read morehad recently. I enjoyed my MONA trip a lot but unfortunately The Source disappointed a bit. The restaurant was super dead and empty. I ordered oysters, truffle cheese toastie, cauliflower, and boats in the source. The oysters were delicious as expected and my favorite dish was definitely the toastie!! Insane cheese pull on that one and so flavorful! The cauliflower was just okay and I actually did not like the boats in the source dish much at all. Overall I felt a little let down with the meal but the service was amazing and I had a very kind and helpful server. I'd consider trying out FARO the higher end fine dining restaurant inside MONA instead of The Source if I am able to visit again!

Ferry boat to the museum and into a fancy lunch? Sign me up. It was everything I imagined and more. One of the handful of memorable meals during our trip. Beautiful interior, floor to ceiling windows, fantastic staff and local food. Yes wallaby tartare is on the menu, we ate it and recommend. Another local twist is the incorporation of individualized designs to the plates from local school children and the modern uniforms are designed in AUS and unisex. Beautiful, thoughtful meal and space. We loved it. Ate a leisurely lunch, then wandered downstairs to the ice cream cart and then walked it all off in the museum. A perfect afternoon.
