SSAM Korean BBQ
reference: http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Restaurant_Review-g255060-d949103-Reviews-SSAM_Korean_BBQ-Sydney_New_South_Wales.htmlIn SSAM Korean BBQ, it is really fun to cook your own food on the grill. We had the bulgogi and some pork. All the lettuce and pickles we could get through. The food that is offered here is very tasty. However, the side dish of pancake was not as good as I've had at other Korean places (outside of Sydney).
We had a couple of beers and we came out having spent under $60. It is not very expensive in terms of price-wise and we will definitely be going back.

The staff were very friendly including the cook. The customer service was at another level from other restaurants that I have been to. The waiters were frequently serving drinks and making sure that everything was alright and assisting as much as they could while cleaning the mess from all the tricks.
If you want an entertaining night especially if you have kids, this restaurant will be an experience for the whole family.

Malabar South Indian Restaurant
Malabar restaurant located at Crows Nest, known for its South Indian Cuisine food. Normally when people think of Indian restaurant they think of the traditional North Indian food, butter chicken, Lamb Kofta and Nann bread.
The restaurant on busy night
Last Wednesday at lunch time I had the opportunity to eat this restaurant. The traditional south Indian food being dosa (look at picture below) served with Sambar(lentil broth) is what Malabar house specialty.
The dosa is thin, crisp, golden brown rice and lentil pancake.
Malabar offer a range of flavors from plain dosa to Chicken dosa, where chicken pieces are stuffed inside the pancake. The restaurant does offer North Indian food, curries. During lunch times they have a Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian special. In the vegetarian Special the entree consist of mini dosa and the mains are eggplant and potato, mixed vegetable curry with dal and rice. The non vegetarian special, the entree being the same as the vegetarian special. The main course consists of lamb varutha, butter chicken, mixed vegetable and rice.
I would recommend one tries the lunch special as mini dosa is served as an entree. This would allow one to taste a dosa which is not found in many Indian restaurant due to dosa being south Indian food.
