Happy Bellies - Thornlie

I entered the restaurant with high hopes of enjoying the flavors of my home country.

This restaurant feels like a home away from home, with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly service from the owner and their family team. The spicy Mee goreng had just the right amount of spice (the owner even tested my tolerance), the Rojak was flavorful, and the vegetarian options were top-notch. We returned for tea, enjoyed some delicious masala tea and iced coffee, and decided this would be our go-to spot from now on.

We recently came across this small restaurant that had opened some time ago and decided to try it out today instead of our usual spot. What a find! As the photo shows, we left feeling very satisfied! The food was tasty, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was delightful. Affordable lunch options are always a priority for us, and they have a wide selection for under $10. The portion sizes were just right for us.

I have visited this little restaurant and taken away and enjoyed the food each time. Recommend the Teh-Terek, Parathas especially the plain and onion ones, chicken wings are brilliant. They are open throughout the day except Tuesday's. Limited menu but good food at reasonable prices.

Noticed this un-obtrusive little restaurant open several weeks ago in the Forest Lakes shopping centre complex (situated opposite Subway/Jets Fitness/Lakers tavern and McDonalds)Decided to call by for dinner last week to give it a try.And very glad I did !Whilst the menu is slightly limited during the week, it is more extensive on the weekends.The owner Thilak, makes the place what it is.The food is reasonably well priced and delicious.Food portion sizes are on average sizings.On the night we visited, we ordered Mee goreng, Lamb Byriani, and Vegetable Korma curry with Byriani rice.Wonderful flavours across all 3 dishes.Probably the only complaint, and I have seen the same listed on their Facebook page, is the drinks have too much ice...apart from that - no complaint from me.Will definitely be visiting Happy Bellies again sooner rather than later !
