If I can give O stars would be to much. This new management absolutely destroyed the food of what once smoking Joe served. Ordered 3 stakes ( 1rib eye and two porterhouse) 130$ paid went home and the porterhouse stake was completely raw inside. Not seared at all and the fat was not rendered at all.We asked for 2 mushroom sauce and one garlic we received 3 mushroom sauce that was sweat , no taste or smell of mushroom and just one of the containers had one slice of a mushroom. Called them back they said come back tomorrow after 12 we give you cash back for the two. The manager/cook she said “ how com the rib eye stake was cooked and not the porterhouse “ 😂😂 “she said she put them in the oven at same time”.End of story there. Porterhouse stake is dubbed the size of the rib eye… there goes to show how capable she is of cooking. She was arguing with me and I almost left without the money. It’s not about getting refund. We wanted the food we called we ordered we paid and drove back just to be served something we didn’t order. Yes there are ppl who eat raw or medium rare but we asked for well done. And this stack was ready to...

I ordered a chicken tandoori pizza with extra pineapple and olives on top, and they charged me $32.90 for a family-sized pizza. Personally, I did not enjoy the pizza as much as the one I usually get from Stella, which costs $29 for a similar pizza. However, Stella provides significantly more toppings than this establishment. The quality of the cheese was satisfactory, but there were hardly any chicken slices. Additionally, I found the flavor lacking; there was no tandoori taste whatsoever. They merely used a cheap tandoori paste that can be purchased for $2 at Woolworths and labeled it as tandoori chicken. I cannot recommend this pizza shop; I would prefer to spend $33 on a quality HSP or get a better pizza from Domino's for half the price. Furthermore, they initially stated over the phone that the charge would be $28.90, but I was charged $33 in person. I am likely going to throw this pizza in the bin, as it did not meet my...
