Wow!
What a gem!!
Wandered into "The Grounds Keeper " on Saturday for brunch after a big week and a sleep in....
Great spot good service and attention from the staff and what amazing food!
Middle Eastern cuisine. I had the Chilli eggs which were gorgeous but my partner had the Shakshouka...... Wow! Just beautiful food!!
We loved it and will be back!��
We had my daughters 5th birthday party yesterday with about 70 adults and 20 children. Everyone enjoyed themselves, loved the food and the venue. Sam, Lorraine and staff communicated with us during the event to check on how we were and made sure we were well looked after. The feedback we received from our guests were all positive. Most of our guests have never been to the Grounds Keeper, but they will definitely be returning customers. A couple of them are thinking of booking events at this venue in the future. Thank you for making our daughters birthday such a special and memorable day.
Blacktown location was great!! Amazing service and delicious food. Highly rate the pulled beef sandwich wow!!!

Absolutely love this place! Amazing food, excellent coffee and very child friendly. It's on high rotation for us �
Fabulous middle eastern food in this family friendly cafe in the park.
Looking for somewhere for a quick coffee before a meeting we accidentally found thus cafe. Thoroughly enjoyed our coffee and raisin toast in complete serenity within a lovely park.
Superb middle eastern food with a twist. Loved every bit of it. We will definitely be back for both the food and staffs great service.
5 stars for Ryde store because the coffee is good, food is yum and service great.
Located in Blacktown Showgrounds, this venue is easy to find (located at Francis Park).
Handy location, near the playground. Perfect for family dine out.
Favourite dish so far: Lebanesse Mezze Board.
Beautiful cafe next to a massive park. So if you have kids or toddlers or even babies definitely check it out.
The swing area is shaded under trees so great for some summer fun. We went as a group or 4 families and the kids had a blast on their scooters and on the swings.
Food is also pretty good so its an added bonus!! Looking forward to going back here again #kidfriendly
First time coming across this place in all the years that I have been around! Defiantly a hidden gem.
Came here on a Sunday for breakfast, was seated quite quickly even though they where really busy.
Food menu based on middle eastern is great as it’s different to the usual breakie you get from other cafes. Perfect location for families overlooking the park. It had the most warm and welcoming ambience.
Staff where prompt and always around to easily flag down. Food took about 20-25mins to come out... but.... LOOK at the photos! How impressive does it look? Defiantly IG friendly.
Bathrooms are around the corner and they where so clean for a park.
Parking on the other hand as it’s street parking/connected to the park, it’s pretty much first in first serve! Just prompts you to get up nice and early to be there first!

Nice place. Went for breakfast. I like their take on the awarma. The ones I've usually had in the past are scrambled omelet type eggs with meat. But these guys put a layer of humus and top it up with very tender pulled meat and finish it off with two fried eggs at the top, with pine nuts sprinkled all around. Was very tasty specially with the yolk running all over it
We also tried the pancakes with sweet tahini. It's the first time I have ever tried sweet tahini. Normally I've had savory tahini drizzled on my falafels or in my shawarma and I am a huge fan of it. So this sweeter version caught me a bit off guard. It had an interestingly new flavor to it. Though I found the pan cakes were a bit too dense as opposed to being fluffy and airy.
Also tried the kafta tagine. It's basically meatballs dunked in tomato puree/sauce. A decent dish but I liked the awarma more.
And obviously the fact that it's inside the park makes all the difference. Kids can have fun in the park while the adults get to enjoy their meal. Nice fun place for the whole family.
Saturday lunch with friends.
this place is normally busy however we where able to get a table for a large group after a 5min wait. Service staff was friendly and accommodation.
Ordered a few wagyu beef burgers, a lamb tagine, a saganaki prawn and a jug of home made lemonade. the burgers was great and the lamb tagine hit the spot for a cold afternoon. the saganaki prawn however was extremely sour and would be better if it wasnt so sour.
Love the outdoor environment and the customer service!!Food is also not bad here. Tomato salsa baked eggs is so yum!!!i will definitely come again.
We love coming here for breakfast when we have the day off, it's nicely set in a park and their middle eastern breakfasts are just so delicious - my favourite is the tagine eggs. Warning - it's difficult to fit lunch in after!
Great lunch on a sunny day. The kind barista made us a special coffee art on our coffees. Great for young families with kids as there is a playground and large oval next to the restaurant.
Nestled amidst a small park makes for a relaxing cafe vibe! Service was pretty good and one waitress in particular was very caring to customers needs.
Food itself is good but probably not the best I've had! Menu was interesting but a bit pricey compared to Melbourne standard. I had the polenta special with feta, avo and scrambled eggs but the flavour just wasn't quite there it could have used tomato or something sweet as well. My partner had the Shakshuka which has a great spicy flavour. Mocha was thick and made well so kudos!
Nice cafe in the middle of the park. Dine with park view, away from hustle bustle of weekend traffic. The cafe is pretty busy, long queue for a table. Make reservations if you can. Food and coffee were both good. Service could be better but no complaints.
Tried this place today with a high school friend. Loved the atmosphere of being outdoorsy, situated in the middle of a park, with a playground next to the cafe, for all the busy parents. Service was nothing stellar. Surprised to find there was seating today, since normally it's busy on Saturday, but I reckon it's due to the Granny Smith Festival happening in Eastwood which explains the lower customer count today.
Ordered the shish tawook wrap ($15), and friend ordered the harissa chicken burger ($17). Can confirm, the wrap was delicious, although the sauce was a little ordinary for the price I was paying. Coffee had nothing special, but appreciated the artwork.
Would definitely recommend for a lazy Saturday with kids.

One of the few places that does a bacon and egg roll with damper bread. Whilst the damper bread could have been toasted a bit more, it was nonetheless a very good feed.
This is a wonderful Mediterranean cafe next to the kids playground and park. I can understand why this is such a popular place.
I first discovered Gabriel coffee beans from the Grounds Keeper Cafe ave fell in love with the taste! Unfortunately the cafe is constantly busy and I couldn't get a seat twice when I walked in (need to book next time!). Had to be satisfied with getting takeaway instead. The homemade cakes are quite enticing, I tried the orange blossom cake and really liked it!
12/17 - met up with some friends and headed here one afternoon. After some time at the playground next door (it's really fun!) we had some coffee and cake. Very enjoyable! Love the latte art, it looked like the person who ordered it!

This is a bit of a special find because I had no idea there was this lovely park not too far from mine, let alone a café with tons of delicious sounding options on the menu. It seems to be very kid friendly with a playground right next to it. They were quite busy on a Sunday but we were able to get a table immediately as it was relatively late around 2 in the afternoon. Staff were very friendly but food took forever to come out, which was not ideal being the first meal of the day.
I ordered the pumpkin soup which was part of the specials board and came with yoghurt and crispy bread. It came out on a massive platter and although somewhat filling it wasn’t quite as satisfying, but then again it was soup after all. Tasted great, especially with the yoghurt on top, and the generous amount of crisps made sure to stick around til the last spoonful of soup.
The chicken burger was one of those non-fatty/greasy types, where I suppose some could find a little too light or bland, but it was still pretty good especially as the ingredients were so fresh.
Parents, and friends with parents take note: If you're looking for a spot to catch up over a coffee or meal, this would be close to the perfect place. Situated in Ryde Park, right next to a children's playground, you might just get in some conversation while the kids play.
Take away a homemade muffin and coffee to enjoy in the playground, or, once the little ones have had their fill of playtime, retreat to the cafe for a Mediterranean influenced meal, with choices ranging from breakfast fare to burgers and wraps. There's also an interesting choice of substantial salads, and a kid's menu that should satisfy even the fussiest eater.

A cute little cafe set on the grounds of Ryde Park, surrounded by beautiful greenery, and right next to a children's playground, making it an excellent place to take the kids. The food is Middle Eastern themed with menu items such as kafta and lamb. MochaGreat aroma and flavour but needed a bit of cocoa
My daughter had her five year old birthday party at this cafe, last weekend. The service, food and atmosphere was excellent! The party was a hit with both kids and parents! Will be coming back again for next year's party! Many thanks again!
The service was friendly and reasonably quick given it was a busy Saturday morning. The cafe is very conveniently adjacent to a playground , so you can view your kids from the seated area of the cafe. The play area suited our toddler and older kids. Perfect location for a summer day but may not be so great when wet. The menu is probably not for the budget conscious but had healthy portions for the price.
Not every day you see a crowded cafe in the middle of a park and it feels classy. Great for kids to play in the playground (got abit jealous. Too old.). Even though the food doesn't push any boundaries, it does it very well. A great place to go if around the neighborhood.
Absolutely loved the location, a very relaxing spot within Ryde Park and easy access to parking without having to worry about timing. The chairs weren't the most comfortable but definitely not a deal breaker. They did get my coffee order wrong initially, but fixed it without any further issues and general decent service. Ordered the lamb kafta wrap (a lot of Mediterranean as well as the usual cafe dishes here, so definitely check it out). The lamb was too dry but still enjoyed the combination of flavours, especially the pickled cucumber.

I visited this café on the weekend, and was very impressed with the service, food quality and location. I made a booking for 25 guests for a birthday lunch, and contacted the café for the booking. Given this is a small café, with a small kitchen, the staff advised that we needed to pre-order the meals the day before. Whilst I was initially turned off by this 'effort', it was well worth it in the end!Upon arrival, all of our meals we ready. My guests were impressed that the orders were correct, fresh, hot and delicious.. all without the waiting time.How I found this café was that I randomly googled this café, because it was located near a park, and many of my guests had kids. It was perfect.. the eating area is adjacent to the playground and grass area, so we could all mingle, eat and watch the kids at the same time.Whilst it did rain lightly on the day, the café was undercover, and the café offered roller shutters to keep the wind out and heaters to warm us up.Most of all, the owner Sam was so welcoming and accommodating to us. We had some guests who arrived 30 minutes late, and he recooked their meals at no charge, given that it had gone cold. This was not a fault of the café, but they were so very thoughtful to do this without asking.Having boasted to my work colleagues this week of the lovely café I visited on the weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to find I am not the only person who has discovered this secret gem.. there were other girls in the office who frequent this café also!I would highly recommend this café to mums, families, mother's groups - anyone with children. The menu is also delicious.. I love the middle eastern food on offer!
Food is so so, but the staff are always accommodating, especially with the little ones and reasonably priced. The main draw card is the fresh air and the adjacent playground. Visit the toilet before you leave home though.
My partner and I were looking for a nice place to have brunch and after searching Urbanspoon, decided to try The Groundskeeper Cafe. So glad we did. We got to the cafe just after 11am and were seated within minutes. I guess being a rainy day kept the crowd away so all the better for us. The blonde waitress who served us was very welcoming and friendly. The food took a little while to come out but we didn't mind as the atmosphere and surroundings were pleasant. I ordered the Shakshouka and my partner had The Whole Grounds and we both really enjoyed it. We're keen to go back to this cafe again. Thanks for the overall pleasant experience.
We were able to book a large group for a catch up at this lovely cafe today. Although the weather wasn't the best, because of their service and nice food, we all had a great time. The cafe is situated inside a really nice park where you can see the kids happily playing while actually enjoying your meal and coffee. Friends all liked the place very much. Wagyy need burger and the mezzi board was quite yummy and loved their fresh juice. Staff were very accommodating. Coffee wasn't the best but still good.
Not-so-new brunch spot The Grounds Keeper cafe situated amongst the lush greenery of Ryde Park is the epitome of convivial dining. Taking breakfast to a whole new level with Middle-Eastern influenced items and downright honest cooking. Bemused by the throngs of people that have gathered in the shady alfresco paThe irresistable Kafta Tagine Eggs ($18) arrived in a waft of hot tantalizing smoke. Served in a traditional clay dish, the spiced lamb kafta tagine sided by pita bread and labne was a dream to work through. The glistening sweet tomato sauce complimenting the robust flavors of the lamb meatballs that were binded together in near perfect consistency. The half cooked yolks unleashing their golden spell on the delicious mix. oups that hang around the area. With coffee beans hailing from the boutique coffee roasters Di Gabriel , the blend features strong notes of cocoa and the soft notes of berries lingering in the background. Definitely one of the best cappuccinos I've had anywher

Hidden in an inner suburban park, The Grounds Keeper Café is a small café growing rapidly in popularity. Not only do they serve fantastic Middle Eastern style food but they are situated right in the middle of Ryde Park and next to a playground, meaning they are super family friendly. Grilled Haloumi Salad $14.5 The perfect summer salad. The grilled haloumi is tossed with spinach, roasted baby beetroots, walnuts and honey mustard dressing. Fresh and zingy. Opt to add marinated chicken breast for a heartier version (extra $5.50). Lebanese Mezze Board for 1 person $19.0 for 2 people $35.0 A superb tasting board full of Middle Eastern goodies such as shish tawook, lamb kafta skewers, falafel, kibbi balls, hummus, olives and bread. I'm always amazed at how much flavour these meats can actually have and just how filling they are. Home Style Lemonade A great refreshment for a hot summers day. An excellent blend of sweet and tart. If you're looking for something sweet - housemade muffins, tarts, brownies and other treats are on offer at the counter. Ryde locals have been thrilled to be able to enjoy their favourite park whilst indulging in house-made savoury treats, decadent delights and superb blended coffee. The post The Grounds Keeper Cafe, Ryde appeared first on 2 Hungry Guys - A Sydney Food Blog .
The Grounds Keeper menu has a definite Middle Eastern influence. Think mezze plates, fattoush salad, shakshouka etc but there are also your typical Aussie cafe favourites like the wagu beef burger served with chippies and divine garlicky aioli ($14). All of the serves that I saw coming out of the very busy kitchen were of a decent size and I'm definitely keen on going back and trying more of the lunch time menu and more importantly their bumper breakfast menu.
Scrumptious. We were welcomed at 10am on a weekday into this bustling cafe amid the beautiful greenery of Ryde Park. Once we were settled, the attentive waitress took our orders of the kids pancakes with strawberries, maple syrup and ice cream ($9.50), and the regular pancakes with macadamias, maple syrup, mascarpone and strawberries ($14.50). The kids pancakes arrived and I ate my two small but fluffy pancakes with gusto- the ice cream scoop was generous and the maple syrup complemented the lightly spiced and delectable pancakes well. My friend enjoyed her three-stack fluffy pancakes with a generous amount of mascarpone as well. Service was welcoming and prompt, and we enjoyed our brunch immensely- I would gladly return to this picturesque cafe.
Came back and ordered the breakfast burger- weird to be honest...I don't feel those fillings should be in a burger. The bun was of poor quality as was the mayo, which made the bread soggy.
Wish I had have known about it sooner. Yesterday was my first visit to the Groundskeeper Café and I can't believe I hadn't heard about it before. We had 16 people in our party for a family birthday and everyone was exceptionally happy with the food, service and atmosphere. The food was amazing, the surrounds were very relaxed and we were able to enjoy it all because the kids were entertained in the playground right next to the café. We will definitely be back as the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and approachable. Thanks Sam and staff.

Great Food! Great Service! Beautiful Surroundings!. What more could you ask for? I headed out to this beautiful cafe on the weekend after hearing so much about it. I am from Rozelle and work in the city and I have been to a lot of great cafes but this one has it all. Especially if you have children. The food was awesome we ordered the Foul meddammas, Shakshouka (baked eggs with spicy sausages), pancakes and kaftan tagine eggs. We also ordered their great selection of juices. I must say everything was delicious the ingredients so fresh and you can tell a lot of care and pride have been put into their dishes. The coffee was also fantastic right temperature and so smooth had to have two. The staff were so welcoming and made sure we were always checked on. Now thats why I think this place was so great because it has everything in spades and also a great area for the kids to play. They are very busy on the weekends and yes there maybe a little bit of a wait for the food, but who cares when you are in such lovely surroundings and everything is cooked to order in the end its worth the wait! Will most definitely be back and telling all my friends.
Fantastic Family Atmosphere & Great Food. A great place for top notch food and relaxation... fantastic atmosphere

Fabulous food, attentive service, and child-friendly surrounds - the perfect cafe!. Our party of 6 (two families with 3 kids between 1 and 4) headed to Top Ryde from the inner south and inner city on the recommendation of a friend for lunch on a sunny Sunday. And it was very worth the trip! The cafe is in a fabulous location if you have small kids, a playground literally right next to it, so at the end of the meal the kids were able to play within sight while the grownups finished their meals. We were warned to book and heeded it, which was sound advice as it was incredibly popular. We ordered from the lunch menu, which has some fantastic options. The beef burger, lamb sandwich, and mezze plate all got the thumbs up. They have a reasonable kids menu as well, generous portions and delicious food. We scored a table directly next to the playground so we decided to linger and enjoy some dessert while the kids played. The massive and extremely decadent brownies were divine, but I actually had to package most of mine up, it was too much! The staff were great, getting the kids' milkshakes out to us quickly to ensure the little ones were OK and regularly checking back in with us. Our meals were delivered promptly, as were our desserts and coffees, meaning we were in and fed and out and back in the playground in just over an hour. A very successful family eating out experience, we'll definitely be back, just watch out for the prickles in the lawn behind the park, they are a killer!
Busy, kid-friendly cafe. I decided to try Grounds Keeper given its location within Ryde Park which has a sandpit and lots of play areas for kidlets.
This place was incredibly busy and we were lucky to get a table. Service was friendly but slow - they need to figure out a better system of managing weekend lunch times.
The mezze platter for 2 was generous and tasty. Good kids meal options too.
Overall we'll be back for its great location in the park.

Perfect Fathers Day 2014 thanks to The Grounds Keeper Cafe. Best kept secret in Sydney and any thing but good reviews can only have been written to keep this great place a secret! We are an extended family of 10 kids and 10 adults and today we spent an afternoon at Ryde Park and ate at the Grounds Keeper Cafe. The staff could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. My dad is in a wheelchair and they made sure our table suited him. They then added extra seats for people in our party who decided to join us at the last minute. The menu for Fathers Day was excellent for adults and kids and the food arrived quickly and was delicious, especially the pork belly and fish. The kids were allowed to eat in the park and the staff quickly packaged the meals up into take away with no fuss and just smiles! Coffee was great, food was delicious, service friendly and down to earth and the park setting meant dads and kids could play footy and basketball and run around and enjoy the day in between food! Thanks for a great day and we will all be back for sure!! Desserts looked great too BTW we were all just too full!! From Karen and Matti and family
Keep coming back!. I am not one to write reviews but after jumping online to grab the contact number to book our table for lunch this weekend I thought why not, my husband and I absolutely love love this place, we've introduced a bunch of friends to the Grounds Keeper, and they've all raved about it. Food is amazing, coffee is really smooth and I like the fact that it's within a park. We have a baby, and if restless I can just walk out for a stroll without disturbing other people in the cafe. Yes it can get very busy, we've been here and experienced (only once) a long wait, but Sam the owner acknowledges you and accommodates for the delay, apologising and offering beverages on the house. Looking forward to eating my zucchini and haloumi fritters stack with yummy bacon!!
Great food, great service and the location is awesome. Real funky atmosphere and the breakfast menu is huge. Plenty to choose from with traditional breakfast items and middle eastern options. Do yourself a favour and try it out.
This is a not very well kept secret. A seriously good chef and owner with a commitment to great fresh produce. Middle Eastern influenced meals that are so far better than many restaurants in a beautiful park setting. This is seriously good. Almost feel sorry to tell for fear it will be so busy I'll never get another booking. Try it! You won't regret it.

Amazing mothers day lunch!. Where do I start, amazing place, great service and most importantly fantastic food. My husband and I with our children and another family came here for lunch. The place was buzzing they were extremely busy but we had booked we were greeted by a wonderful waitress that showed us to our table. They took our order when we were ready it took the food around 30 mins which I thought was very good seeing that they were so busy. The food was just amazing such fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection and presented beautifully, u can tell alot of care goes into the cooking. We also ordered freshly squeezed juices which were outstanding. The Children also loved their food and loved the playground right next to the cafe, what more could a family want. We also ordered coffee after our meals and being a avid and coffee lover myself it was right up there. We were also very impressed with the owner who was greeting and talking every table he asked us how we liked our food. You can tell he really cares for his business. We will definitely be back
Excellent food. Lovely hosts and a great location. You need to choose staff who understand and know the joy that comes with this cultures food as you have to connect and explain it to the guests.
Excellent food and wonderful service, and plenty of gluten free options. The location makes this a perfect place for families!
Great community atmosphere. We've just moved into Ryde and decided to spend a nice free Saturday morning exploring the area. We got as far as a 5 minute walk to the park where right in the middle was a cafe brimming with families and kids and bustling with community atmosphere.
Managed to get a couple of seats at the long table and was served one of the best coffees I've had in a while. That's saying a lot since I am lucky enough to regularly have my coffee at the previously mentioned place in Alexandria, and also at all the famous cafes in Newtown and Surrey Hills.
The food had a Middle Eastern twsit. I love zataar so I ordered the garden pot. My wife had the eggs benedict with salmon. Went down quite well. The food wasn't as good as the atmosphere but we'll certainly being going back to try the other options.
Make a booking before you go.
Good service and delish food however the wait was a little too long. Spent more time waiting than anything else. Great place if you have little ones as there is a playground next to the cafe.
Great to find a little gem in the ryde area! Visited this place once on a Saturday and although it was hard to find at first, the surrounding made it worth the find.
The food were delicious, had their lunch special of blood orange grilled chicken, pistachios and cranberries with harrissa dressing. Thier wagyu beef burger and lamb sandwich were great too. We also had their juices which was refreshing.
Great place to come with toddlers as there is a small playground beside the cafe as well as a basketball court.
The service maybe a little slow if it was a packed house but thankfully we went at a quieter time but in saying that it was 12pm.
I would definitely come back again to try their other food or just have a coffee and a muffin and read a book.
During the weekends breakfast is served till 1130am only.
Thank God these guys took over the cafe...they've brought a great menu and good coffee, a relaxed environment and good service. It's nice to see more of these Cafés in the Ryde area.

This was my first time visiting the cafe I initially found it difficult to find as it was tucked away within the park grounds closer to Argule st than Princes st but was pleasantly surprised when we found it. The fit out of the cafe is basic but inviting and we sat outdoors. First impression was it was very family friendly with a nearby kids play equipment, basketball court, BBQ tables and sports field. The cafe feels like it has been established for a while but we were surprised to discover it has only been open for 4 weeks.
We missed the cut off for breakfast (which had many appealing options) but went with a shared mezze plate (included lamb skewers, chicken, falafel, halloumi, sun dried tomatoes, olives, home made babaganoosh, hummus and plain and toasted leb bread) and coffee and juice. All the food and drinks were delicious, well priced and well cooked and the portion size was just right. The mezze plate was all hand made on site and even though we couldn't fit any more food I would have liked to try some of the hand made desserts.
The owner Sam and his wife both separately came to check that we were enjoying the food and even stayed to have a chat and it's clear that the two, who have 12 years experience under their belt running previous establishments know what they are doing.
In regards to the previous comment about The Grounds in Alexandria, I have been there a couple times and never had the service or community/local feel from there. I get the impression it is all about the turnover and the wait times can be ridiculous!
As a local I will definitely be back for the breakfast soon - I hope for my own sake they stay relatively unknown so I don't have to wait long for a table in future as I can see them growing in popularity.
P.s I would recommend a dinner service in future with a nice outdoor setting.
Updated my review from a couple of years back...Great spot if you have kids as cafe is next to play park. Owners are experienced and menu is good. Be warned though - they get very busy on weekends and you have no chance of getting a table if you just turn up. Rather frustratingly the cafe is half empty with reserved signs on tables with no-one turning up. This is an old hospitality trick so as to maximise capacity. Fair enough but I can only ever get take away here as there are no tables available. It's also quite expensive $11 for bacon and egg roll which I think is a bit cheeky for take away. Still it's good quality. The coffee (Gabriel) is also well made. Rather strangely they have also reduced their seating capacity to make more room for back if house which makes little sense given their capacity issues.
Brilliant. Great food, great atmosphere. Fantastic place to take children. What more can i say?
Good News. Ryde is a wilderness as far as decent cafes go, so when I found this venue on the net I was pleased. My son went as a scout to check it out, and liked it so much he returned. His feedback is that the venue is great, the staff are pleasant, the food is innovative, tasty and well cooked and the prices are reasonable. I will be going there asap
Visited here on rainy Sunday, after being at the Ryde location a few times before.
We came for a birthday breakfast, the food was sensational and the staff really lovely, lots of authentic and tasty options.
I would highly recommend this place for its very authentic food and great service!
Tucked away on this park is a wonderful cafe restaurant that takes Italy’s coffee seriously, gives its food generously and just seems to love being there. We have been there three times now - not from the area - and everyone really wants to make you enjoy your experience. The banquet was good value... but so is everything everything else we tried! The weekends can be crazy packed so book ahead... but if you have an hour or 2 during the week, take your time and enjoy!
Revisited today after our original visit 3 years ago and the mezze board for two is just as great!
Lovely service, nice setting in parkland. Specials board and great menu. Rather than battle trying to park at Westpoint there was plenty of parking a short walk away.
A super cool cafe in the middle of a busy park with playground to the side.
A menu with middle eastern inspirations as well as your typical skip meals like - bacon and egg wraps etc the spiced, home made carrot cake is definitely a winner.
Lovely to see the manager so engaged with the customers and kids - pleasant morning in the sun
