A group of us came in for lunch on a wet Wednesday. We had two special needs ppl with us. The young man that met us was lovely and welcoming. He set up the heater for us and talked us through the menu and beer options. The food was delicious and portion size was very generous. The apple strudel was so good and the coffee was perfect. We were checked on often and we left happy and very full.
I recommend coming here to anyone and will come back.

All the staff were super friendly, and the draft beer they recommended was amazing. I also tried the Schweinshaxe for the first time, it was absolutely delicious! Great vibe overall, and since it’s close to home, I’ll definitely be coming back often ☺️

Really happy I found this place. We had the goulash and the schnitzel as an early lunch. The first was rich and tasty, whereas the latter was crunchy and just done. The wheat beer was also great.
Both portions were very generous, but I could not resist the strudel. Crunchy, with a soft filling and some really good custard to go with it.
I would absolutely recommend it, and I’ll definitely be back.
Finally, we found a place because we arrived really early. It is likely that a booking would be a good idea for peak hours and large groups.

We came with no expectations and it exceeded way beyond. Lovely combination of flavours indulging with tender meats. We ordered platter for two and a gourmet dish lamb Guvec. Lamb was so tender and flavoursome. Portion size is generous. Will definitely recommend to all.
Will visit again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a lovely place. The eating area was updated and inviting and had a closed off play area for kids. We went later in the afternoon so it was quieter and we could just relax and enjoy our meals. The food was amazing and delicious. We ordered the share platter that you choose three items from selection (we had lamb kebabs, pork bites and garlic bread), 300gram rump,chips, caesar salad with Dianne Sauce and Salt and Pepper Calamari,chips and salad. You have the option also to sit and catch up in the sports bar and pokies area. Staff are very polite, helpful and welcoming in all the areas.

The KP is a long standing and convenient neighbourhood pub where the service is always prompt and efficient. The food is good value for money with an adequate menu range and the environment is family friendly with an enclosed children’s playground.

The buffet was great. They hand over the menu and you can order from the buffet menu. They prepare you hot and fresh starters, breads and curries. They prepare the same food again if we request again fresh and hot.

Amazing place to have dinner! I was here with my family. The service from the staff was incredible, they were very nice and extremely knowledgeable! The food itself provided a depth of flavors and was very filling. It was also very quick to come out. The price of the night overall was very reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend trialling this restaurant for a good Indian cuisine!
