3rd visit here and 3rd time I’ve been impressed! Food & wine was fresh & delicious, coffee was strong & staff were exceptional & happily accommodated for a high chair & space for a pram. Will definitely return!
Excellent meal and even better service, next time I'm there I'd like a tall glass of the waiter with dreadlocks
Went here for breakfast this morning with my husband and our meals were sensational. Fresh produce, served hot, great proportions and great value. The service was also excellent, meals came out fairly quickly, staff were friendly and attentive at all times. From general appearance of the restaurant, its well looked after, very clean throughout and lovely atmosphere. If only this place was open for breakfast on the weekends!
Positive: Food and service is phenomenal, and the waiter with the dreadlocks is a straight up hottie.
Negative: only negative, I found a dreadlock in my soup � 12/10
I am lucky enough to have this restaurant as my workplace local. The food is great and always consistently good, something that is rare to find these days. The staff are warm and welcoming and there is always something different on the specials board to try. Keep up the good work guys! �
I love this place the food is great the atmosphere fantastic and the staff are so friendly and courteous what more could you ask for.. oh and did I mention they always have a good cold Chardonnay on hand !!
Shanikas is one of my favourite cafes which makes me relax, peace and happy. Friendly and kind waiters l have ever seen, and l love the manager who is respectful and doing his service very well. He always greets me straight away while he is busy around customers. I love all of them!!
Thanks for amazing food and great service. We had a great night. It will now become a regular night out for us.
What a fantastic experience. 2 mums with bubs on a planned lunch date so called ahead to book. We were greeted at the door with 2 ice cold waters (so hot outside) and shown to our table that was set up with one high chair and room for a pram as requested when I booked. Food was sensational and service was quick. Staff were so kind and friendly. Can't wait to go back.
A hidden gem in Carrum Downs a great place to eat, great Italian food n great service
Congratulations to the Shanikas team
Sensational food and service! We had my wife's birthday there last night and it was just perfect. We have eaten here numerous times and love it - never fails to deliver. Thanks Simon and Nick for last night and to the other staff (don't know everyone's names). �
Never been to Shanikas and been here twice this week, just love the food and service. This place in my top 5 to eat.
Food, staff and coffee is amazing - every time!! Always so accommodating and helpful, thanks Shanikas for your fantastic service.
Loved it. Fresh homemade pasta, friendly staff and great service. Had a great time. Looking forward to going back to try the rest of the massive menu.
Eaten here before and the food is always spot on. But tonight we had to summons a waiter to order drinks, to order our food and to refill our water. And a 45 minute wait from when you order until you receive your meal is way too long. Would have got a higher score if the service was better.
Been here 3 times for breakfast. Service is excellent. Food is really good. Atmosphere also very good. Waiter (Nick) even remembered our coffee preferences from last visit. Now that's impressive. I'm coming back again and again.
Shanika's has come a long way over the years. The pasta is really tasty and gets more and more packed with flavour each time we go.
Desserts are always a great end to the meal. Keep up the good work guys!
Always get take away from here and always delicious. Would recommend Sofia gnocchi but get it with a red based sauce and garlic bread. Serving sizes definitely enough to share between two hungry people !!
Nice little place tucked away in Carrum Downs industrial area. Has a casual dining feel to it. The food is always good. They can also do takeaway.
Absolutely love the food and the flavours. The ravioli they have is to die for. I have been to Shanika's 3 years in a row for our work Christmas function and I always look forward to it because the food is always exceptional and the service is prompt and well attended to.
I cannot speak highly enough about this restaurant. Gave it a try a year or so ago and I'm so amazed it's tucked away where it is.
The eye fillet is to die for and their wine list is 👌🏽.
I go every year for my birthday as a treat to myself.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this and do, any chance I get!
I grab lunch from here most weeks and the food is delicious, but on top of that the staff are so friendly and accommodating
Amazing food, amazing service. Cannot be faulted at all. Very happy to dine there continuously and very recommended. Unfortunately only open during week days and Friday night. Highly recommend
Regularly have Friday night dinner here. Great food and value for money. Excellent service. Definitely recommend the filleto, antipasto, calamari. We are currently working our way through the menu.
For a spot hidden away on an unfinished industrial estate this place is very swish for lunch. A great treat for office workers during the week and sells everyday coffees and sandwiches, not cheap though.
Nervously ventured out at night for coffee with the girls with my baby. Was warmly welcomed and had my pram wheeled to the table for me. Great coffee delicious dessert sampler and good attentive wait staff. Probably the best tip I've ever left with a bill - will definitely be back :-)
I love Shanikas. Have been coming here for ever. I have never had a complaint. The meals are always tasty.
Specializes in homemade pasta. Yum!
Lovely place to meet for business or personal! This restaurant has great food and the staff are fantastic. :)
