Thank-you to Emilio and the team for a fabulous brunch on Sunday. A special shout out for seamlessly upgrading our party from 8 to 10.5 people in a already full house. Also, your staff's care with all of the allergies (2x Celiacs, 1 nut allergy and 1 shellfish allergy). Finding somewhere we can dine out without the stress that someone will get sick is huge for us. This is why we keep coming back to Bellboy. See you next time folks!
Before I talk about the (absolutely amazing and incredible) food, I want to talk about the service.
Kindness is so very rare these days. But you’ll find it in abundance here. Staff and the owner are so accommodating for those of us with disabilities. The first time I came with my support worker, staff happily turned the music down for me, as I was getting very overstimulated. I’ve also ordered through uber eats multiple times. However, today the app did not put my order through as gluten free (possible glitch). Jackson and the owner went well and truly out of their way to rectify this, and get the right order to me.
To say I’m grateful isn’t enough. There are no words strong enough to convey how full my heart is, because no other restaurant would go as far as these beautiful souls did. As I am unable to cook for myself right now, the fact they looked after me like this, when it wasn’t even their mistake in the first place, is proof that there are people in Melbourne that truly are the soul and the beating heart of this city.
The food itself is beyond delicious. Finding gluten free fried chicken is hard….finding gluten free poutine is even harder! And the grilled zucchini is so delicious, I had to fight my support worker over it haha. The mash and gravy is so comforting with the chicken, it’s real soul food.
Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Excellent Indian restaurant! Fantastic flavours and friendly staff. Hari is always on hand to make recommendations. They are able to make gluten free, and other dietary requirements. Highly recommend!!!
Me and my girlfriends got the set menu and fiorini wine to pair. Great food, the lamb shoulder was amazing, the beef and pork ragu was my favourite, didn’t love the salad. They catered to our gluten free requirements. Staff were lovely. Place gives kind of rustic Italian vibes , homey and comfortable. Cute little place
First time visiting, loved every minute. Great atmosphere (even on a Monday) staff super friendly and genuinely happy, food and coffee awesome (coeliac friendly), and prices very reasonable.
3 stars for the food , 4 stars for the staffing team=3.5 stars
Had the kumo omnivore banquet here, menu listed its gf but when we checked with the team its only gluten reduced but not gluten-free which is very disappointing, some peopl are actually allergic to gluten and it’s dangerous to advertise falsely.
The Salmon carpaccio, the main dish beef and the desserts were great. Chicken karage and edamame was so so, not bad but nothing special. The chinese broccoli was the quite upsetting. It was blanched, bland and flavourless and theres nothing japanese about it at all. This restaurant has the potential to do better but their menu needs some fixing up 🤟🏻
It's a bar and a bottle shop. Tap beers if you want to sit down or choose from the fridge. Gluten free beers too for the celiacs is a great touch. Vino and some cocktails. Drink in or take away. I like it.
