Sakeena’s - Mount Stromlo

I was shopping recently at the Coolman court shopping centre in the mid afternoon and popped into Sakeena's for a quick lunch. They had a good selection of food for lunch. I went for a meat and mushroom pie. It looked very good but it was very average.

I often meet friends here for afternoon tea and can't go past the freshly made cakes and wraps.The seating inside can get quite noisy but outside is pleasant.Each afternoon from about 4 pm, the hot dishes are packed into takeaway containers and sold for $6 each ... good for a quick meal or lunch next day. To accompany your takeaway, salad can also be purchased at 'Freddy Frapples' fruit shop, near Woolworths.The breakfast are also good value.

I go to Sakeena's quite often for breakfast, snacks or take always. I like the huge array of lunch items and the various cakes. My last trip was for breakfast.Service is quick, not overly friendly, but efficient. The place could do with a new coat of paint.

Family and I have been visiting pretty much weekly since the teens were born. Very family friendly with a wide range of both hot and cold food. They also have a very wide range of drinks.The cake/sweet cabinet is always well stocked and in a very good way, rather deadly.With extremely rare exception, we have found the food fresh and tasty, and in all cases the service excellent.Coffee wise, the barista has changed over the years, and on occasion they have been in training. But, if your coffee is not good or better, they have always been very happy to listen and change what they serve to match your taste at no extra charge.Basically, long term, very happy customers.

It feels like our family has been going to Sakeena's forever - and it always satisfies. This café is an institution at Cooleman Court, Weston. It always delivers good, reasonably-priced food.
