Review: Lezzet, Elwood
Recently revamped and renovated, Lezzet has returned with a new menu offering fine dining Anatolian cuisine in its unassuming Brighton Road restaurant, and we were invited in to try it!

Review: Jimmy Jamz
Jimmy Jamz (130-132 Ormond Road, Elwood) is one of those local gems you always hope no one else knows about.
