Delicious and not too expensive. Generous servings too, I won't need to eat until dinner!! Only thing I will say is that I think just in general everything needed just a touch more salt, but that's just to my preference โบ๏ธ staff were lovely and all had a smile
Very nice, hidden cafe/restaurant by a lake. The vibe is so nice and they decorated the place in elegant way. Their hot chocolate is super nice, itโs creamy and has some malty taste to it. Their scones were nice and fluffy. Their fried chicken burger was nice and juicy. Caesar salad was nice too. So all the foods were pretty great.
I took my mother to Omari for Christmas dinner & we were both so happy with the quality of the service, food & surroundings. Kind & generous wait staff (Bailey?) served us delicious fresh meals in generous amounts, in a no-stress, friendly atmosphere. Even my single tiny critique (which was more of a sook made in jest) was immediately accommodated with genuine good humour, so that I was sent home with a large pack of roast spuds! Couldnโt be happier! (Altho the delicious cocktails likely helped too - best Espresso Martini I've had in years!) I'm so happy that this year I chose Omari over previous "bulk crowd" buffet options. We'll definitely be back for Christmas 2026 AND for plenty of ocassions well before! Thank you to the whole Omari team for putting on such a great event. Well done.
OMARI IS AMAZING!! We had the pleasure of going to Omari on Sunday! Our waiters name was Bek, and she was outstanding! (She also informed us that she was the Pastry Chef here too!) Beautiful Smile, Excellent Service and Beautiful Personality! We had the Chicken Burger and Poached Eggs, they were great! Highly recommend Bek for her customer service and amazing cakes and pastries!
๐ Omari โ Bendigo I went to Omari Cafรฉ on a Friday afternoon, and it was already quite lively when I arrived โ lots of people chatting, soft music, and that cozy clinking sound of cutlery that makes the place feel alive. I decided to sit near the outdoor area because you can actually see the botanical garden from there ๐ฟ. The view was so calming, with sunlight filtering through the trees and a nice breeze that made the whole experience feel extra relaxing. I ordered the chicken skewers โ they came with yellow rice, a small salad, and a creamy curry-like sauce. The chicken was juicy, smoky, and perfectly seasoned, really tender when you bite into it. The rice had that mild aromatic flavor that balanced the dish so well, and the salad added a nice freshness. It took about 45 minutes for the food to arrive (the place was full, so fair enough), but it was definitely worth the wait. The cafรฉ itself is beautifully decorated โ hanging flowers in shades of purple, pink, and white all over the ceiling, creating this dreamy garden vibe inside. โจ Itโs the kind of place youโd want to spend a slow afternoon at โ perfect for a date, catching up with friends, or just unwinding with a good meal and view.
