Raby Bay Oriental - Cleveland

Let me start off by saying the staff are fantastic. Fast, polite, have the correct etiquette. Nothing was too much for them and I commend them. Clearly a family run business. The food on the other hand is what lets this establishment down, and that’s a pretty big deal when you are reviewing a restaurant. The chicken served is simply strange. It is stringy, chewy, tough, no taste. It is the most bizarre meat I have ever eaten. I am not even sure it was chicken? I am not sure what part of the chicken is being used here if it is, but it is not right. I couldn’t get through it. Crispy Beef was good enough and the veggies served with it very fresh. Unfortunately, I was put off by the “chicken” and lack of sauce.

I ordered chicken satay with vegetables and chili lamb with vegetable fried rice for takeout. Unfortunately, the food was terrible - it had no flavor, the chicken satay was missing, and everything was bland. The chili lamb was especially disappointing as it had no chili at all. We try to support local businesses during this pandemic, but we will not be coming back to this restaurant.

Just had dinner with friends and waited over an hour for our meal! When it did arrive it was awful, extremely bland with no flavour. Very disappointing! Will not be going back

We visited this restaurant on a busy night, Anzac Day Saturday, in Raby Bay. Unfortunately, all restaurants were packed, including this one under new management. We were hoping for improvements from the previous owners, but the wait for our meals was way too long - 1 hour and 45 minutes to be exact. It seemed that there was only one cook with a helper, and many tables around us were also complaining about the slow service. However, when our meals finally arrived, the quality was excellent with no complaints. While the prices were on the higher side, around $25 per dish, the portions were generous and of top quality. Despite the slow service, we will give this place another chance and hope it was just a one-off.

We had the pleasure of eating in a restaurant where the food was absolutely delicious and the customer service outstanding. Thanks for going the extra mile for a “banana fritter”.
