Food here never disappoint me. I love their spaghetti Napoletana (very tomato. Love it!) and my partner love their spaghetti marinara (seafood taste blended in together with spaghetti) and spaghetti bolognese (very beefy). I also like having their spaghetti with a glass of classic Italiano spritz, very refreshing! Staff here also very friendly and atmosphere is comfortable! Highly recommended!!

I had the pesto gnocchi and it was fantastic, garlic bread was awesome as well. Leave room for dessert as the cannoli’s are to die for. Highly recommend if you want to taste the best gnocchi Brisbane has to offer.

We love coming to Punjabi Dawat for dinner. The service is fantastic, the place is clean, and the food is both well presented and delicious. You can tell they work very hard to run a tight ship. Prices are good, serving sizes are also good. Nothing to complain about really. The cheese naan is straight up dank I could eat it every day. Oh also they give you free pappadam so that’s worth mentioning.

Delicious food, attentive service and dog friendly. Great selection of beers. Would recommend stopping by for a relaxing lunch – the chorizo dish is my personal favourite!

We celebrated a joint birthday and OS departure at EJ Station house for our daughter. The Spanish tapas and drinks and service were great. For our family and friends event, the music level was just right, chill within easy conversation level. Glen was very accommodating and the waiters were fast and fun. It’s dog friendly too. Would definitely recommend this for a chill afternoon function.

I have dined at EJ Station House a number of times. The food has always been exceptional. The chorizo and the calamari dishes are an every time favourite. Glen is a gracious host and it is always great to catch up.

I tried the Don Carlos Fettuccine, which was very nice and tasty. One of the best I have ever had. I also had garlic prawn and some slices of pepperoni pizza. The pizza was good. It probably needed a paper tray between the pizza and the wooden board to stop the pizza base getting too wet. In general a very good restaurant with great ambiance and professional staff.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lovely but cosy ambience and the food was just perfect. The garlic bread came out fresh, the cocktails were delicious and the food was delicious. Generous portions of prawns in the marinara that we got, the carbonara looked great and all of it was spot on. Gianni came round a few times to make sure we were doing well. We’ll be back for sure. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of dining tonight, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The service was exceptional and the staff were friendly and attentive. The Lasagna and Steak Pepe Verde was the absolute highlight of our night, each bite was bursting with flavor. Dessert was just as amazing, it was the perfect end to a perfect meal. This place is a must-visit! Highly recommend!

OMG I’m so happy I found another amazing Thai restaurant near were I work. The food here is AAMAZINGG!! I always get the Pork Pad Si Ew (medium) You can taste the spices and herbs all the authentic Thai flavours in the dish. The pork is delicious and the flat noodles are perfect 👌🙌. Y’all remember my order soon. Try it. You won’t be disappointed 🫡

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dinner was pretty good. I’d say the Thai food here is quite authentic. We had the som tam salad, which is really yummy. The pork belly stir fry vegetable is very good. Tamarind fish is very good too. The only let down was their Tom yum soup, which is pretty average. We had the grass jelly and jackfruit for dessert and it was also average. Definitely come back again to try other dishes.
