NOT WELL THOUGHT THROUGH IN DESIGN OR PRESENTATION. Yet they have amazing Baklavas in such a big range. There is all kind of Lebanese breads and pizzas, Middle Eastern spices galore, sherbets, syrups and more The shop is a hybrid of -Grocery store -Cafe ($2.50 for an average coffee) -Bakery. So this shop really needs recognition for what it does beautifully. That is why the presentation of the shop only takes away one star.

A Middle Eastern bakery that serves food…read more This a a place that typifies Melbourne multi cultural dining. This an opportunity to eat good food at a great price of a middle easter style. There is a exceptional range of authentic middle eastern product, spices, dips, cakes/pastries to take home. For me the cheese pies are the specialty of the house. Be adventures take a trip to Dandenong and see a great range of food from all over the world; this is just one opportunity.

This has been on my burger hit list for some time now. ever since it came on the burger radars of…read morethe GFG n Burger Adventures... and finally tonight the planets aligned... the dandy pav is on the site of the old pancake parlour .. similar setup to hogs in decor and feel. Competition is tough but when ur named the best!! I had to try it .. from their separate burger menu I decided to go with the Giro.. Beef patty, melted swiss cheese, braised lamb with truffle mayonnaise. the General sounded too heavy and the Tsar.. well will give it a go next time.. The burger was fantastic! Juicy meat and with the right amount of melted cheese (this got a bit too much for me near the end). very nice touch to have small pickles served on the side.. in case needed to balance out the heavy combo of an all meat burger served with cheese and mayo. For the meat lover this is the one! I don't think there is a signature burger here but will def try the Tsar next time... Anyhoooo... was it that good to deserve the #1 slot ??? IMHO and YMMV... a gd burger it is but I would probably only come back only to try the other burger to give it a go. The Giro is boring and uninspiring. I was expecting a "wow" factor from the #1 but it lacked complexity in flavour and the heavy cheese mayo sauce drowned out everything. It took away the taste and flavour of what was a very good patty! In one word "forgettable". In writing this I am convincing myself that I ordered the wrong burger or that my expectations too high for melb's #1? Still I'd rate the Chew Burger as the best burger and Laurie Dee's #2. May revisit dandy pav to try the Tsar. But on tonight's forgettable burger choice alone .. nah .. and again this is my opinion only. give this joint a go and make up ur own mind :)

Melissa's is good. It's open more hours than most in Dandenong. And it won't steal from you with…read moreridiculous prices for over-hyped, under-sized fad foods. The staff are attentive and friendly. Its location is in Harmony Square, part of the new council buildings, just across the road from the Drum Theatre. They can open the whole place right up which makes it feel spacious, but sometimes that can be annoying. It's a design trend I know, and they are right on it, but sometimes I just wish they'd close it up, crank up the air conditioning, and leave the outdoors, outdoors. They do have an extensive cake and dessert collection, so be warned. Melissa's is solid without being spectacular. If you can't happily feed yourself there, you're not trying.

Since I've been away for two years I didn't realise the place had changed owners, but it evidently remains a busy little hub- even on the weekend when I would expect the area to be vacant. For a Saturday morning this place was quite busy. There was quite a wait for my coffee, but I'm glad to report it was surprisingly good! Within this area decent cafes have been opening up on recent years so there is a bit of competition around at the moment and I'm glad to report this establishment can be considered a strong competitor. The ambiance is chill and the location is perfect. I'd definitely go back and would reccommend this place to people nearby in need of good coffee.

It seems as if they have not been washed, just wiped with a cloth. The cups also have a funky smell which completely ruined my appetite. One thing that also frustrated me is the time it took to serve. Even though we ordered over the phone 30 minutes prior to arriving, we had to wait an additional 40 minutes to receive our food. Complementing the meals, another positive are the sweets, they are exactly what I expected. All in all, I would only recommend going there if you are truly desperate.
