We dined a late lunch on a Thursday for a special occasion. It was quiet at the time, staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. Food was interesting, bursting with flavour and came out efficiently. Will be back for sure. Discovered they host Latin dance evenings every so often. More

A fantastic place for Sunday brunch. Prices are very reasonable. Chicken Kiev special was cooked to perfection. Chorizo with tostadas was very popular. Only let down was a bit of additional training needed for the wait staff as coffee orders could be mixed up. More

We went to illuka for dinner and unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. We had the duck and the lamb skewers, and unfortunately the meat didn’t seem to be fresh in either case. Many of the dishes had an Indian-inspired flavour, which while not unpleasant, was confusing given the restaurant promotes itself as Spanish and Mexican fusion. Most of the dishes felt confused, rather than cohesive. For example, the skewers described as “taco spiced grilled lamb”, were garnished with a significant amount of pickled ginger which completely overpowered the dish. Portion sizes were also underwhelming - the cauliflower main, for example, was essentially a quarter of a cauliflower for $28. Overall, a disappointing visit and very unexpectedly so given the highly rated reviews. Meal type Dinner Price per person $60–80 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Group size 3-4 people Wait time No wait
