Holmesglen Institutes ZEST Restaurant - Food VIC

Mina The most delicious and authentic Chinese food I have tried in Melbourne. A must visit for those hungry for great portions and food packed with flavour. There are also a range of cold dishes to balance out your meal ! + fast and wonderful service

Warren Tate Speaker Coach A great mix of food with a variety of Asian dishes. Friendly and quick service with many local businesses enjoying the seating inside and out. The lasagne looked amazing however I will save that for another day. Chicken with fried rice hit the spot - very tasty. Worth a try for locals or if you happen to be driving through around lunch time.

Luca Aliberti Perfect spot for my daily coffe, very close to the playground. Great service, and atmosphere with lots of food option. This is exaclty what we needed in this area!

Uniglobe Compliance We recently hosted our company’s annual Christmas party at Epicurex in Mulgrave, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Nalin’s team made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The venue itself is stylish and versatile, with beautifully designed spaces, which are ideal for festive gatherings and corporate events. The food was the highlight of the evening, “Every bite tells a story.” The menu was thoughtfully curated, featuring a mix of modern Australian dishes with vibrant Flavors and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was impeccable throughout the night. Staff were attentive, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic, which added to the warm and celebratory atmosphere. The private bar and ambient lighting created a cozy yet elegant setting that was perfect for our end-of-year festivities. Epicurex also impressed us with their attention to detail in catering that ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. It’s clear they have extensive experience in corporate catering and event management. We highly recommend Epicurex for any special occasion, especially Christmas parties. It’s a venue that combines culinary excellence, outstanding service, and a festive ambiance that makes every moment memorable.

Butterfly with Purpose Attended a small function here and they did an amazing job with catering food and drinks. They have a room at the back for private functions, which was cozy and had a nice atmosphere. The food and drinks were great, and overall the setup felt well organised. The service was a bit slow, especially with coffee orders, and we had to check a few times to see if our orders were coming. Despite that, it was a lovely experience and the space is perfect for small gatherings.

Ofina Ah mau Dined here on the weekend with Hubby. Drove an hour to try it out and it was definitely worth it. Food was amazing and so quick! Customer service was top tier. Got to meet the awesome owner who made us feel very comfotable. To top it off the price was really afforable. Highly recommend

Andrea Lankan Manna was an absolute delight. The food was delicious — proper comforting, home-style goodness that left everyone who had the curry buffet very happy (and very full!). Every dish felt lovingly made, with beautiful flavours and that satisfying, authentic feel you just can’t fake. We arrived as quite a large lunch group, and honestly the couple (who I assume are the owners) handled us so gracefully. They were genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout — nothing felt rushed (despite us being in a rush) or like too much trouble, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. A few in our group opted for the croissants rather than curry and they were made to order and presented with care. It’s the kind of place that gives you that cosy, home-cooked comfort for lunch in a surprising location. Generous portions, great value, and truly lovely hospitality. If you love hearty, authentic Sri Lankan food served with real warmth, Lankan Manna is a must-visit. We’ll absolutely be back and I suspect it will become a weekly regular trip for a few of us.

Gary Schiralli In the food court. Twice have had Honey Chicken balls and Singapore Noodles. The chicken is amazing fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.

Benjamin Elia I had an amazing experience at The Vale. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — you can really tell they care about creating a great atmosphere. The food was just as impressive: fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully prepared. Every dish felt thoughtfully put together, and the quality was consistent from start to finish. If you’re looking for a place with great service and even better food, The Vale is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

Russell Stapleton A cosy place to hang out. The bar is easily accessible and is in the middle, so you can easily access it, order your drinks and start sipping. They have a variety of beers, wines and spirits to choose from. Food was good and it did not take long after it was ordered. You can order from the bar or through the qr code. There is plenty of parking and that makes it easy to get in and out if the venue. Overall a nice and comfortable place.
