Great place. We had the Currywurst, spicy version, and it was fantastic. Very tasty without being too spicy. I’m not sure of the name of the draft beer that we had, I just asked for the most popular draft lager. It was really smooth with plenty of flavour. The beer garden itself was well laid out and comfortable. Will definitely be back.

KOENIGSBERGER KLOPSE: Mince Meat Balls in a creamy, tangy Caper Sauce, served with mash Potatoes and house pickled Beetroot German Currywurst: Footlong grilled German Wurst napped w Carsten’s Tomato Curry Sauce and dusted with mild Curry powder. Served w house made potato salad When traveling around the world, ordering food has always been a dead end. Fortunately, the boss recommended it. It was my first time to try German food. It was light and refreshing, with fresh ingredients. It was much more delicious than the deep-fried bruch that is all over the street.

I need to come back to try again for their beer, but the food we tried, there’s no extra comment needed other than FEBULOUS. Or fabelhaft in German. Juicy sausage, perfectly cooked egg, tasty and flavourful stew… this places keep on surprising!

10/10 amazing! The Lamb Guvec was chefs kiss. The lamb was so tender it was practically falling apart and so so flavourful. The Lamb Shish Kebab was perfect too. The lamb was crispy on the outside but somehow still incredibly juicy on the inside. Cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back again soon!

Had a fantastic experience with my family for dinner. The meats were all so tender and flavourful, the dips were delicious and the kunefe for dessert was a perfect end to our meal. The service was also impeccable, our water was constantly changed and we really felt looked after. Highly recommend.

Went with my mum for Lunch and the bistro was shockingly empty. I’m not lying when I say that the lamb shanks were the best lamb I’ve ever had in my life and the meat fell straight off the bone!!!! The chef didn’t just cook good food but gave great service, 10/10 will be going back!

Enjoyed lunch at the Kedron Park Hotel today. Was amazing! I was part of a large group and we ordered a variety of meals from the menu – everyone loved it! Meals took a while to arrive but I think that’s just a reflection of how busy they were. Will definitely return!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 food is really good and excellent value for money. The kids play area is very good and ideal for a small group of kids and easily kept an eye on. Service is friendly.

If you’re a fan of flavorful dishes, you’ve got to try the Dum Biryani at Spice of India. The moment it arrives at your table, you’re greeted with an irresistible aroma that promises a taste sensation. The meat is incredibly tender, and the rice is perfectly spiced and fluffy. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into crafting this dish—the spices are well-balanced, and each bite offers a delightful mix of savory and aromatic notes. It’s a standout option on their menu and a dish you’ll want to come back for. Highly recommended if you’re in the mood for a delicious and satisfying meal!

Great friendly service and, as usual, I didn’t have to wait too long. The butter chicken is superb as is the lamb korma. 👏👏 I ate in recently and the service was quick and very friendly. Love your work. 👏
