  After reading many negative reviews before visiting the Big Chef I was rather concerned about having bought four vouchers. On arrival I felt somewhat better as it looked clean and well presented if somewhat basic. Their vouchers promised $140 worth of food and wine per couple. There is absolutely no choice of food. Every diner gets exactly the same meal every time. The red wine is the worst I have ever been served. The food was overly salty and basic Lebanese. The wait staff were pleasant but didn't really have much to do but carry food and plates. They were apologetic about the lack of choice and seemed a little intimidated by their situation. The belly dancer was good value and engaged with all the customers in turn, The two 'chefs' were somewhat under employed basically just serving dips and pitta bread and frying pre-prepared felafel, pastries and salty kebabs. I was not hungry when I left but didn't feel I had eaten a 'good' meal. I haven't ever been ro a restaurant where the customer had no choice of food before and I think because of this that it isn't really a restaurant as the term is usually understood. Even though wine was included in the voucher you could not exchange it for any other drink like juice or soft drink which seems unfair and ridiculous. Coffee and tea is also included but no chocolate drink. Tea was only black or green. If I hadn't pre-bought extra coupons I wouldn't bother to return again and I'm not looking forward to repeating the experience despite the 'good' points mentioned above. There is no way the meals presented represent the stated $140 value.
