    The meal at the old worldly King Henry's was superb, good ole English grub, even with a nod to the bygone era by having prawn cocktails as a starter in original mollusc glassware was fantastic, a real throwback to the 70's. The food was absolutely large, in portions and n taste, I had the traditional roast pork, and my wife had bangers and mash. Absolutely wonderful interior dining spaces all over the place, and a fabulous set of paths to wander after you've eaten, in the beautiful Dandenong's and trees everywhere. 'One issue was that the cocktails were probably not their finest work, could have been better. Food delicious, Guiness in old fashioned glassware to a treat, desserts to die for. Great place for a visit.

    The food was of excellent quality and taste. Enjoyed authentic South Indian dishes. No skimping on the vegetables either. The taste was mouth watering and delicious. The service was great. The dishes were brought out in a timely manner and we were able to enjoy them. I will highly recommend the place if you want an authentic Indian vegetarian meal.
