"Great food and service every time. They understand special dietary requirements such as gluten intolerance too. Highly recommended!"

"Hubby and I very much enjoyed our meal at Fekertes. The service was attentive but slow, taking 60 minutes for any food to actually arrive at the table. We chose the 2 person Platter Option 2. It was interesting, enjoyable, and exotic. It was however 'hotter' than expected, and I ended up munching on a whole chili thinking it was capsicum. I thought that I was going to to die for about 15.." more reviews

Great food and service every time.

They understand special dietary requirements such as gluten intolerance too.

Highly recommended!   (See my reviews (2) - December, 2008)

Overall 8.8 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 8, Service 9

Hubby and I very much enjoyed our meal at Fekertes. The service was attentive but slow, taking 60 minutes for any food to actually arrive at the table.

We chose the 2 person Platter Option 2. It was interesting, enjoyable, and exotic. It was however 'hotter' than expected, and I ended up munching on a whole chili thinking it was capsicum. I thought that I was going to to die for about 15 minutes, but then my mouth cooled down, and I went on the enjoy the remainder of the meal.

Overall we enjoyed it, and will go back, although there are certainly other Canberra restaurants with better value for money.

Overall 6.3 - Food 6, Ambience 6, Value 6, Service 7

The restaurant was lovely, clean and the service fast and pleasant. We had expected the food to be alot milder than Indian, and so were quite surprised when the food was hotter than we had anticipated - perhaps it was our choice of dishes - a chicken and a beef both of which came in a red sauce. (Numb mouths) The entree was delicious and the bread lovely. Thank you   (April, 2008)
