This was such a lovely experience. I am living in Lara, for better or for worse, for the next 5 months for a project and have been trying to make my way to all the eateries in town. This one is definitely the best so far. Unlike most of Lara, this place actually has some style! The fact that it actually had some ambience was a huge plus. But really, the main draw is the food. My friend and I both had the special which was a red curry with pumpkin. We both got it with tofu. Tofu was cooked perfectly and the curry sauce...well, I could have bathed in it! Just delightful. Service was friendly. My beer was nice and cold. I can't really think of anything that wasn't good. Well, the prices were a bit high. But I'm American, so everything seems pricey to me.
If you're ever passing through Lara, I highly recommend a stop here. It was definitely one of the best, if not the best, meals I've had so far in the Melbourne area (though Vegie Bar in Fitzroy is pretty stellar). read more
