  Rating: 1/10 Complaints - No BYO, Amazing Food, Delicious, Friendly, Fresh, Healthy When this place first opened, the only kebabs I'd really eaten were obtained from Abrakebabra in the city, the flavour obscured by a haze of alcohol and queasiness and the fillings unrecalled due to aforementioned alcohol. These always made a good finish to a night on the sauce, but I can't say I've ever eaten one sober so it's impossible to say if they were any good, or whether my abused stomach lining was just so grateful for food that a salad from the New World would have done the job just as well. While the kebabs at Lokanta would definitely make as good a Friday night booze sponge as any, I think they are best enjoyed sober as they are transcendently delicious, very fresh and deserve to be appreciated beyond your standard kebab. To begin, this place is conveniently located on the main drag and is easily accessible by car, bike or foot. When I worked a physical job up the road fro...

  Rating: 0/10 Complaints  - Good Food, Funny Waiter, Friendly, Comfortable, Good Size, Delicious, Waffles, Black Pudding Anyone seen the "not bad, good size"fishing meme? Well this place has nothing to do with fishing apart from being at the beach, but knocks it out of the park each time with food that is both not bad, i.e excellent, and a good size.  I like to frequent this beachfront restaurant with the very patient Mr Karenson and our good friends (yes Karen has mates), we were attending just about every weekend at one point until the spiralling cost of living limited our visits somewhat. The first thing that stood out to me was the extensive menu. They offer breakfast, brunch and lunch (are these all essentially the same thing depending on how hungover you are?) and have a range of options for various dietary requirements such as vegetarian and gluten free. You can also swap out items and request adjustments if you're allergic to something or doing keto, which makes ...

  Rating: 7 /10 Complaints - Inconvenience, Slowness, Poor Quality, Misleading, Price, Annoying, Limited This place replaced two kiosks at Wellington Station that sold tickets, chips and candy floss so I suppose it's an improvement on that. It has a convenient location, decent staff who do their level best against a constant influx of harried commuters and convenient opening hours but I’m afraid that’s about it. It's probably the most expensive New World I've ever been to, and that's really saying something given that New World seems to be aimed at the leisured and moneyed demographic (darling). Expect a basic sandwich with misleadingly arranged fillings to set you back at least $7 and prepare to be sorely disappointed by the selection of items. The choice on offer is between a small handful of equally premiocre brands and if you're after something specific, don't bother they won't have it and you will end up awkwardly leaving empty handed as all the staff s...
