Had a wonderful experience at Rengaya Burwood. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They took the time to take a photo of the table reserved for us and messaged me in advance to ensure that it met our expectations. Since we were celebrating a birthday, I requested a slightly bigger table, and they kindly accommodated my request. Their consideration made our celebration more special. Highly recommend this restaurant for the excellent service!
