Exceptional Indian food from different regions of India.
At the time of writing the regional food was from Kerala.
The meat tasting plate menu was very yummy as was the coconut ice cream dessert at the end.

I came here with some of my family the week before my birthday. I hadn’t told the staff, but I still got a cupcake and a candle. Everything was top notch. The food, the wine, the team were all very welcoming and I look forward to going again. Strongly recommend.

Excellent food and good value for money. Came on a Saturday for lunch and really liked the place. Good service, cold Sapporo beer on tap. Sashimi and tempura were nice, the fish was excellent. The desert (three kinds to try) was excellent as well. Black sesame ice cream was our highlight. Happy to come back.

Easily one of the best Japanese restaurants in Sydney. 3.5 hours of pure blessing and feast. I was lucky to visit this restaurant when their seasonal menu was Japanese focus, and I hope they keep it that way! The sashimi was unreal and all the little details the touches in every dish were meticulously executed. Will definitely return.

It’s the first time we try the Omakase here with my family for a birthday celebration.
The dinning experience surpass our expectations, every dish is served with the best ingredients with beautiful decorations. Service is so relaxingly with warmth.
What’s a beautiful dining experience. 10/10

What a great discovery… classical yet funky, staff who know their stuff, an innovative kitchen with a twist on classics… find a free night and go, you won’t be disappointed…. and if you are very lucky, the delightful Gianne will take care of you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a delightful spot. Unassuming from the outside, but once you enter, you greeted with smiles and a warm and welcoming waiter. The ambience is wonderful, dark and moody, decor and lighting. They have a great menu, and their cocktails are bliss. The food is special, good portions made to share, wonderful flavours and very reasonably priced. Most definitely worth booking.

Cremorne Point Ferry Wharf to Shut for 6 Months, Sparking Community Concerns

Cremorne Point Ferry Wharf, a popular transport hub for Lower North Shore commuters, will be closed for six months starting later this month, disrupting daily routines for hundreds who rely on ferry services to get to work, school or the city.

Why the Wharf Is Closing

Transport for NSW will close Cremorne Point Ferry Wharf from Monday, 26 May to Friday, 12 December 2025 for major upgrades. Part of a wider maintenance program, the works aim to improve safety and reliability, but locals say the shutdown came with little warning.

The upgrade includes a new gangway, pontoon, and covered roof to improve safety and weather protection. Transport for NSW says the changes will make access easier for people with mobility needs and parents with prams.

Concerns From Residents and Businesses

Residents say the closure has caused confusion, with many relying on the ferry as their quickest route to the city. Some now worry about longer commutes and crowded buses on Military Road.

Nearby businesses like the Cremorne Point Wharf Kiosk may see fewer customers during the closure. Some locals feel Transport for NSW should have involved the community more before making the decision.

Transport for NSW says it understands the disruption and appreciates the community’s patience, noting flyers were delivered up to two weeks before work begins. In emergencies, it says early notice may not always be possible.

Alternatives for Commuters

While the Cremorne Point Wharf is closed, commuters are being directed to nearby Old Cremorne Wharf, which will remain in operation. Others can use bus routes 229, or 225 and B1, with stops along Milsons Road and Military Road offering links to the city.

Transport for NSW recommends planning ahead using their website or trip planner tool to find the best route. Still, some locals say these workarounds won’t make up for the convenience the ferry offers, especially during peak times.

What’s Next for the Community

The closure raises questions about transport access in suburbs like Cremorne Point, where the ferry is part of daily life. While the upgrades aim to improve the wharf long-term, locals now face months without their direct link to Circular Quay.

Transport officials maintain that the wharf work is essential and promise improved facilities once the project is complete. But until December, locals will have to adjust, and hope their concerns are taken more seriously in future planning.

Coffey and her photographer husband Ross purchased the five-bedroom property on Kareela Road in 2022 for $7.15 million before embarking on an extensive renovation. Working with architects Villa + Villa, the couple preserved the home’s 1909 heritage features while completely transforming the interiors.

The renovated property now boasts direct access to Old Cremorne Wharf, a self-contained studio, large rumpus room, three-car garage, and a rooftop terrace with harbour views. The stylish interiors reflect Coffey’s design expertise, honed through renovating at least 10 properties and running her Mosman homewares store, Manyara Home.

According to Michael Coombs of Atlas real estate, the sale comes after an unsuccessful listing last year. This year’s market proved more favourable, with “three or four parties fighting for” the property.

“There are more buyers around this year, but they are not in a hurry,” Coombs noted. “They’re happy to pay for the right property though.” He added that expats and buyers relocating between areas are active in the market, predicting “some good sales go through before April.”

Downsizers looking to move into smaller, low maintenance homes are choosing to purchase apartments at Cremorne Point for its gorgeous views, easy access, and wide open spaces.

John Grooms of O’Gorman & Partners Real Estate told Domain that Cremorne Point is the perfect location for this buying market.

With stable and established jobs or a superannuation benefit, these types of homebuyers have a good cash flow to invest in buying a new home that requires minimal upkeep.

Harbourfront properties in this Lower North Shore suburb are also drawing interest from parents who want to live closer to their university-age children, while still maintaining a separate but larger eastern suburb home.

Cremorne Point, after all, is 6.6 kilometres away from the University of Sydney and 8.0 kilometres away from the Central Business District. It’s also close to plenty of cafes and shopping strips in the city, and recreational facilities and around its neighboring suburbs like Mosman and Neutral Bay.

According to the 2016 Australian Bureau of Statistics, at least 78.2 percent of residents in Cremorne Point prefer a flat or apartment as a dwelling structure. The national average of apartment-dwellers is just a little over 13 percent.

A few important elements to apartment-living among downsizers in Cremorne Point include a spacious but low-maintenance courtyard and a third bedroom that may be turned into a home office. Some downsizers also prefer to buy an apartment with just the right size but to be renovated with high-end home features.

Aside from Cremorne Point, the apartments and flats at Double Bay, Potts Point and Rose Bay are also attractive to downsizers.
