Very poor first experience with this business -

1) Ordered takeaway, estimated pick up time was 720pm, food wasn’t ready until 8pm.
2) greek salad consisted only of salad mix, red onion and cucumber
3) pita bread, but cacik was missing
4) potatas bravas was burnt
5) 3c linguine was too salty
6) $70 for potatas bravas, greek brothers & linguine, felt like was not even $20

Only positives were the nice view of hills, good music, nice decor.

Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Beautiful decor. Great service and we were offered complementary drinks as the meals were delayed. Now, our favourite restaurant in Mount Barker

Ok food. Indian was better than the mediterranean options but expensive for what it was. Wait staff slow, inattentive and with attitude. Requests seemed like too much to ask.

Dry dehydrated curry. Charged for table water without question. $14 cake fee without cutting. Rude staff

This was our first time dining here. I don't know where to start.the menu was so hard to read.it was just a cluster of food put together, the entrees were OK when they arrived as was the cocktail, but then everything went down hill from there. The Greek brothers was literally dry meat on a stick the pita was burnt and inedible, my partners pollo chicken was tasteless and under cooked and nothing like described. The desert was OKish. Now this was just the food.the service was so unprofessional, staff were running out the restaurant to pat and hold a stray cat, my partner had to get up to ask for cutlery as it was forgotten we had to ask for our drink menu as it was taken away (we were the only few people in the restaurant so it's not like it was busy) the waitress when giving us our wine which was expensive didn't open the bottle or pour the glass it was plonked on our table and we were asked to pass our empty cocktail glasses to them instead of them picking them off the table. The staff were sitting at the bar eating and on their phones, It was the first and last time we will be coming here definitely not worth $170 we were extremely disappointed. I don't think them moving to Aston Hills under a new name is really going to help unless they have new staff and food!

Me and my daughter went to dinner the other day in mt barker. Loved loved loved the lamb cutlets. Butter chicken was lovely. Not very impressed by the goat curry. So much oil on top and gravy was too chunky and thick for my liking but meat was soft and spicy. When we arrived it was a wonderful experience the older staff member was friendly and helpful. But sadly towards the end the younger lady got very busy and forgot our drinks. Had to ask again and again and ended up canceling the last drink order as got sick of waiting and ended up leaving. Will go back to try something different on the menu but maybe earlier in the evening before they get busy or just order a few extra drinks with the food. Better to have too much than not enough right?

Interesting combination of food varieties with Mediterranean and Indian being the predominant choices. I also noticed Thai and Malaysian dishes as well. Menu choices are quite substantial. Food came out quickly, and were all fresh and tasty, of a good size and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and efficient. Well worth checking out.

Decided to see if anyone was open for breakfast on New Year's Day. Pork sliders were full of flavour, salt and pepper squid was downright delicious and the coffees were excellent. Thank you for a delicious first meal of the year

Went for dinner. Made a reservation, waited 30 mins for someone to come to even approach our table and offer any water or drinks. Then after we ordered waited another 30 mins before anything arrived. Ordered some bread to start and it didn’t come until after our main course arrived. They forgot one of our Main course dishes, so had to wait 15 minutes after first main arrived.
Steak was over cooked, asked for med rare and it was well done. Thai green chicken curry tasted like an Indian curry, was orange in colour, didn’t taste horrible but definitely not a green curry. Ordered a roti bread and it had been baked in the oven or fried and was just crunchy and tasteless.
To be fair they did offer us free dessert for the bad experience but we were so over it by then that we just wanted to leave.
The hostess was friendly and tried her best to make up for bad service. The table next to us had multiple errors also and also had free dishes as a result of mistakes. They came out with the dessert menus while still eating mains and asked if we wanted any dessert!
Unfortunately we won’t be going back.

Wouldn't take much to rate this 5/5.
Just needed slightly better table service as we had to ask for cutlery and water.
Our eggs were also overdone.

Great atmosphere and location, just needed a little better service:)

Honestly, I still love this place. But recent visit was a bit disappointing. I guess it was a mistake on all parties involved so I'm not going to go into specifics. But my advice to all.if the menu implies there is an optional aspect to a dish, everyone should make a point of choosing the variation. Otherwise you may end up with the variation you don't like.so I whole heartedly take responsibility for the results achieved. And I look forward to my next opportunity to dine in or get takeaway from this place.
I think maybe, just maybe, there are too many varying styles of food on the menu, but I do acknowledge that all previous recent businesses in this location failed and you guys seem to be doing really well so I'm certainly not suggesting you should change your menu or anything given how successful you guys seem. But if I'm wrong, my opinion would be to consolidate the menu a tiny bit. It gets hard to choose a dish when there are soo many great dishes

Unique menu offerings of pasta and Indian food! The food is certainly tasty and well plated, and of good size for its price point. Front of house is rebuilding, so you just need to be patient with trainee staff. Friendly and courteous enough though. Belly dancing also features as entertainment once in a while.

We had the most incredible experience here, and would give more stars if I could. We were greeted by Talia who was so kind and patient, and absolutely made our night. We are currently training a service dog and this was their first outing for a meal, so we were very nervous. We left a note in our booking to let staff know that we'd have a service dog with us, and they seated us in a place where he would have plenty of room, they asked us his name and made us feel so comfortable and there was no judgement at all. They even gave him his own puppy treat to have on his break! They honestly just made what could have been such a nerve-wracking experience just absolutely wonderful and positive and we can't thank everyone enough. On top of that, the food and service were absolutely brilliant. Can't say enough good things about this place!:)

Best butter chicken in the Adelaide Hills. The goat speciality was great, medium heat was a true medium for curry lovers.
Definitely will be back.

Delicious food (Goan fish plater in picture)
Corn ribs delicious
Samosa delicious
Lamb cutlets delicious
Good staff and learning.
Good level of background noise - you can still converse without shouting.
