Awesome, quick, friendly service at the bar! Delicious food! HUGE Chicken avocado Schnitzel for only $20 ... yum !! Fantastic atmosphere! Lots of TV'S to watch all the sports!
This is what your happy sending out as medium Rare? Disgusting. Staff had no interest in being there either. $40 and I get raw steak and a bad attitude.
Tash Eliza and Drew were an excellent choice for lunch at the Mattara in Charlestown. I had lunch on Friday and the service was warm, fast and welcoming. The T-bone steak was cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and the Caesar salad was fresh and delicious. Great atmosphere, great service — especially from Tash — who made the whole experience easy.
My friend and I visited for lunch and were unsure what to order, but Chef Hasan was incredibly helpful. He not only recommended dishes but also took the time to explain how they’re prepared, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We ordered the Moroccan chicken and barramundi with coconut sauce. The Moroccan chicken was full of flavour, perfectly spiced, and beautifully cooked. The barramundi, however, was the highlight—delicate, fresh, and paired with a smooth, creamy coconut sauce that was simply unforgettable. Chef Hasan’s warmth and professionalism truly stood out. A wonderful dining experience overall, I’ll definitely be returning soon. ❤️
Had such a great experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, the space was clean and comfortable, and everything just felt easy and enjoyable. A special shoutout to Esther behind the bar, she was absolutely lovely. So kind, friendly, and attentive, and her service was genuinely exceptional. She really made the experience stand out and feel more personal. Will definitely be back again!
