I like the Thai Orchard and the fact that they saw my liking hot food as a challenge and gave me a Thai Salad that blew my socks off.

India Gate first and second time round were both good. Babur is superb but expensive, a Birthday venue for us. La Querce has been great and the kids are treated like Princesses.

Canvass and Cream is a strange one. We were there this weekend, 22 customers and 5 staff and things take a long time to arrive. Having said that if you expect a long wait and don't mind it's OK. Their Eggs Royale is superb and worth the 30 minute wait.

I think we sometimes forget this is sleepy Forest Hill and not The Ritz, you get what you pay for. Silver service expectations in a run of the mill eatery are a little misplaced.
