ZESTY PANTRY- CITY BEACH — Restaurant in Western Australia

Two words... Anti climax. The menu looks and sounds both amazing and delicious. Colorful and fresh. Exciting even. The young lady at the counter asks. "Will you dine in"? "Of course we will"! We say. What comes next is nothing short of a twist that challenges the likes of the moment the mother of dragons decided to deep fry Kings Landing in game of thrones. Our order vibrating robot buzzed violently on the table. I move towards the counter. Dining in, fetching my own food at the order of a early model Skynet while the counter staff awkwardly stare at me approach the counter. Less then exactly four and a quarter metres from our table. Why even ask if we are dining in? Is there a level of service that is less then this or was that question purely based around if they will need to give me a plastic bag or not? Anyway, she presents me with three takeaway bowls. Without lids. Without cutlery. Now the dine in question makes more sense. So I help myself to the plastic spoons and sporks conveniently placed next to the feeding station. Hence the one and only star scored. I return to the table. Contemplating how I just spent over eighty dollars for me and my roommate to eat. But I didn't even get a f#@king lid for my take away container. Placed with what I assume was f$*king deeply rooted contempt for my very existence, on a plastic lunch tray. As we eat I watch the counter staff go table to table, picking up lunch trays and throwing literally everything but the tray out. No dish washing required! Smart! ... We finish eating our sauce soup. My roommates vego dish resembled it's gorgeous menu photo counter part perfectly. If it had been literally dropped in a dog fighting pit for training bait. McDonald's big macs look more like the advertised images then this did. I don't not like many places. Don't like writing bad reviews but man.... This restaurant has the equivalent business integrity of a drug dealer. Avoid wasting your money and visit literally anything single one of the neighbouring restraunts. Get a pie from the IGA before you go...

The most overpriced undervalued meal I have ever paid for in Perth.

$26 for 7 slices of chicken. This is disgustingly overpriced and completely dishonest. You deserve every negative review you have earned and you don’t deserve to operate a business if you think that this is in any way good practice. I would never consider giving your establishment another single dollar and I hope that anyone who reads this review is given notice that these scam artists don’t deserve their patronage either.

When the day comes that your business is dead and buried the only thing it will be remembered for is the bloated prices you charged for your substandard food and will serve as a warning to any other restaurant that dare to engage in the same disgusting price gouging tactics you employ.

Don’t waste your money there is plenty of other decent food vendors in the area. Would give you 0 stars if I could. You should be utterly ashamed...

OVERPRICED - AVERAGE FOOD - SMALL SERVING....I purchased 1x Fried Rice with Chicken and 1 x Lemon Chicken, and despite ordering large, they came in a small cardboard tub (which they classed as large) I was charged $50 and It was barely enough for 1 person. I was even charged an extra $4.00 to have Chicken in my fried rice and it was about a tablespoon amount....First time and last time I will buy from this place, definitely not value for money and wasn't even delicious - Only good thing was the service from Service Chantel who was extremely friendly...
