Authentic food, authentic pricing, good value for great experience. Rotating weekly specials, this venue is certainly worth a shot. Wiener schnitzel is the best by far if you are looking for a schnitzel experience.

What a unique and fantastic place to try authentic Austrian cuisine! It feels like a warm and cosy classic beer hall with the decor to match. Staff are enthusiastic and friendly, with numerous tap beers and schnapps to try. Can’t wait to come back!

Two words… Traditional & Exceptional. I did a 10kms hike with my group of 20 others from Roseville Bridge to The Austrian Club. We were tired, hungry, and thirsty upon entering… WOW what a place. It feels like you’re in Austria with cold imported beer, and the food comes out right away… 10/10 rating for the schnitzel, and make sure you have a look over Middle Harbour – it’s only 300m walk away (that was at the 9.7kms mark for us coming the other way). We will be back – thanks for the great table and amazing food / service.

This is my second visit in a week. I brought my friend to try Adraki Lamb Cutlets (4 Pcs) shared between the two of us, is a taste sensation. You have to nibble on the bones to make sure you get every morsel. Dal Makani with cheese naan topped our meal. This was so reminiscent of eating in India. We arrived on opening for early dinner, no booking necessary. We left very satisfied before the main dinner rush at 7pm. Excellent!

We visited Phulkari recently and found the experience to be a mix of highs and lows. The food was okay, as we’ve had better Indian dishes elsewhere. However, the ambience was lovely, creating a cozy and welcoming vibe. The customer service stood out—attentive and friendly, which added to the overall experience.
Would recommend for the atmosphere and service, but the food could use a bit more refinement to truly shine.

Great Indian restaurant with tasty, authentic food, especially the butter chicken and garlic naan. Friendly staff, cozy vibe, and good portion sizes.

Was recommended to have steak for dinner. I’m so glad I took the advice.
Great food, good atmosphere and best of all the staff are so friendly and obviously want to be there.

A hotel it is not! But a wonderful cafe it is! Great venue for parents with kids. They have a playground for kids which is great. You have got to check out the menu for yourselves. I had lamb shanks which I would grade a 9.

We love this place for a family get together. Food is some of the best in the area and the atmosphere is great for a catch-up and relaxing time.
If you want to skip making dinner and have some more quality time with the family, duck in and grab a meal and a drink.
Staff have always been helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Fast service, good food. My daughter had the Nutella waffle which had a good amount of fresh fruit on it. I had sour dough toast. I like I can put my own butter and vegemite on. Good Campos coffee.

The brekkie burrito is one of the best breakfasts in the area – super creamy with extra flavour from parmesan and guacamole. My tip is to ask for the bacon to be replaced by chorizo for a greater punch.

Got the OG flock box with lemonade and it was delicious! Love the chip seasoning and the sauce. They give you just the right amount of sauce to dip everything in! The tenders are always moist and juicy inside, but I wish they had a bit more crunch to them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So grateful for a wonderful fresh alternative to stale KFC. Papps flock is even better than chicfila (tried that in Hawaii) . Ja bless 🤙🤙🤙the clsssic sandwich is incredible! Aussie quality free range chicken which is 10x better than KFC because it’s not stale and chewy but fresh light and delicious 😋
