Fingal Bay Cafe & Take Away
Takeout restaurant
🫤 Shockingly slow.
Think they use 1 frying pan to cook everything in.
Calamari and chips took an hour.
Do not come here unless you are prepared to wait 1 hour for your basic of orders.
Tasted like your average fish and chips shop. Not worth the time spent waiting.
Never again.

2 Brothers Indian Restaurant

👍👍 Great place to eat in the cold weather.
The place is clean, we got papadum as a complimentary while waiting for our food.
The food took about 15 mins to come out so it's not too bad!
We ordered butter chicken, lamb korma and saffron rice, also mango lassi which was very refreshing!!
Overall, it's a...

Nelson Bay Fish Market

😠 While the oysters were above average, the service disrespectful. Highly NOT recommended.
I asked for a lemon wedge with the oysters as there was a bowl of lemons on the counter and we were hoping to enjoy oysters along the marina. The blonde woman sighs and point to the bowl of whole lemons, procee...

The Only Place Indian Restaurant. Est. 1998
Indian restaurant
🫤 Ok taste, but better than most other Indian restaurants. Arguably the best self acclaimed Indian restaurant in Nelson Bay.
65$ for daal and palak paneer was too much on public holiday. Palak paneer didn't taste like palak paneer.
Apparently they don't serve naan and have tandoori roti, which was a b...

Aussie Bob's Fish & Chips
Fish and chips takeaway
👍 I had a fish cocktail, potato scallop and calamari ring. They were all tasty and I really liked them! The staff brought my meal to my seat. There was a bit of a wait as they started making the food after ordering, but I was satisfied that I was able to eat them freshly made.👍

Hawks Nest Takeaway
Takeout restaurant
😠 Woeful.
If you are only going to do takeaway kebabs, you need to learn how to do them properly and not use stale wraps!
Really disappointed with the customer service I received today.
After ordering a kebab I went to unwrap it and it literally fell apart. We’ve had this happen a couple of times now...

Mind you a young male staff...

Bub's Famous Fish & Chips
Fish & chips restaurant
😠 Hate to do this, as I always like to support local businesses, but this was the worst fish & chip shop I’ve ever eaten at.
-grilled fish: size of a child’s fist, zero flavour, basically cooked on its own for $17.
-chips: oil must’ve been a month old, taste horrible, kids wouldn’t even eat it.
-scal...
