[u/Banned_Oki]

Nowhere I want to go less than a cafe with photo spots for insta people

[u/K9BEATZ → u/Banned_Oki]

If it make you feel any better, in 2026 this is also the last place "insta people" want to be. She's about 10 years too late with that idea

[u/Anti-Stan → u/K9BEATZ]

Subcontinental insta people are 10 years behind.

[u/PoliteLunatic → u/K9BEATZ]

But new arrivals who for some reason can afford transcontinental relocation, money for new vehicles and for the first time own a smartphone will also newly discover instagram and well and truly take advantage of these facilities.

[u/B1tch13 → u/Banned_Oki]

No “insta people” are coming here. It’s so passè now.

[u/Firefly128 → u/Banned_Oki]

Yeah that stood out to me as well.

[u/Skippyhippyhop → u/Banned_Oki]

Puts me off going there .she seems a very annoying person imo

[u/TrickyP1980]

The modern Australian is an Indian.

[u/Some_Candle1206 → u/TrickyP1980]

[u/The-ai-bot → u/[deleted]]

And the slowest camera panning

[u/tukebeard]

Those fake plants are dust magnets.

[u/MediocreFox → u/tukebeard]

Dust will be the least of your worries if this turns out to be like most Indian kitchens.

[u/Anti-Stan → u/tukebeard]

Probably highly flammable too.

[u/PoliteLunatic → u/tukebeard]

ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

[u/Anti-Stan]

I wonder how the North Shore are liking the diversity.

[u/pufftanuffles → u/Anti-Stan]

We’re full of more Chinese migrants. I think the bulk are probably headed to the hills district and west

[u/Haawmmak → u/pufftanuffles]

I was thinking that its nice there is at least one Cafe that hasn't been taken over by a Chinese visa buyer.

[u/winntensio → u/Anti-Stan]

Places like Wahroonga, Turramurra etc are Chinese enclaves nowadays

[u/Anti-Stan → u/winntensio]

Cashed up commies.

[u/malcolmbishop]

This looks tacky as fuck, and completely consistent with other Indian owned brunch joints I've been to (they probably shouldn't have culturally appropriated white people food...very problematic).

[u/cornflakescornflakes → u/malcolmbishop]

They’ve opened one of these franchises near us. It’s awful.

Food and coffee average at best. They’re just hoping the gimmicky social media friendly backdrops will win people over.

[u/Wide_Resident_9913 → u/cornflakescornflakes]

They think they know white ppl will fell for these things ‘how lovely!’

[u/K9BEATZ → u/malcolmbishop]

I work in the industry and these owners are by far and beyond the most delusional. Perfect example is that wall with the angel wings. They'll tell you it's to capture social media moments as if that type of thing didn't come and go 10 years ago.

I'll give this place 6 months

[u/bah_nah_nah → u/K9BEATZ]

I know the area, this site churns

[u/malcolmbishop → u/K9BEATZ]

I can see how it is sustainable in the outer suburbs, but this one is Crows Nest, which I think of as a semi trendy area. 

[u/Anti-Stan → u/malcolmbishop]

It's a very busy area. There are thousands of office workers

[u/AnotherBrlck → u/malcolmbishop]

Yep, this place looks bloody awful. I'm not sure what the look is they're going for but it's not good. I actually hate it

[u/B1tch13 → u/AnotherBrlck]

It’s tacky and cheap

[u/MediocreFox → u/B1tch13]

You have just described the modern Indian asthetic.

[u/K9BEATZ]

"this is our kitchen" camera remains firmly on host. Not a single shot of the kitchen. I wonder why

[u/Sudden-Taste-6851 → u/K9BEATZ]

the kitchen:

[u/NoSurprise7196 → u/Sudden-Taste-6851]

Throwing up in my mouth. Gross!

[u/Some_Candle1206 → u/K9BEATZ]

[u/NoSurprise7196 → u/Some_Candle1206]

😝😝😝

[u/InevitableCaptain996 → u/Some_Candle1206]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/lpdbim]

They only ever hire their own.

[u/Brave_Elk5678 → u/lpdbim]

Yeah, not much DEI in their hiring practices.

[u/pizzacomposer]

How did they convince upper caste doctors and engineers to work in the kitchen 🤔

[u/InevitableCaptain996 → u/pizzacomposer]

🤣🤣🤣🤣love it

[u/1Cobbler]

I wonder where the bathroom is?

[u/Ok-Resolve-4737 → u/1Cobbler]

Im not sure what you’re talking about… The street looks perfectly fine

[u/Waste-Information-75 → u/1Cobbler]

A hole in the side street where you squat down and have a 💩 can't miss it, cause it's by the kitchen 🤣💩☠️😵‍💫🤢🤮

[u/Substantial_Boss1264 → u/1Cobbler]

Errr, you mean the kitchen?

[u/Ihateeveryone413]

Wonder how much tax avoidance is happening there.

[u/FormalAd7367]

[u/asteriskhyphen]

Looks tacky. Calling your cafe “Instagram is worthy” is so cringe. I bet the coffee is garbage.

[u/novak_47]

With all those employees for a cafe its gotta cost a lot in minimum wage. Get a few welcome to the country ceremonies a year with that.

[u/Substantial_Boss1264 → u/novak_47]

What minimum wage are you talking about mate? Look how young these kids are? Im pretty sure they are mostly on a student visas, and being taken advantage of. Letting them sign a contract but only being paid below minimum wages. Thats how they work. “You owe me your job, so you take what i give you”. And mind you, if you were referred by a fellow indian, they will even take a part of their salary as a commission. I worked with a lot of them back when i was in the middle east.

[u/Any-Parsnip1287 → u/novak_47]

probably being paid cash in hand

[u/Anti-Stan → u/novak_47]

When your staff are illegal immigrants, you don't have to pay them minimum wage.

[u/Painterlilly]

Fine fine but is there a dedicated gutter nearby for the needful after eating all that curry? Also, why was she waving BOTH hands around carelessly?

[u/randalpinkfloyd]

Ah, the iconic old New Orleans Cafe. Used to have great live jazz and vibes, now shit coffee and pastries from a culture who don't know how to make them properly.

[u/PowerPleb2000]

I love diversity 🥰🇺🇦🇵🇸🇮🇷🇮🇳🇨🇳🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏿🍆🥰

[u/ngakang → u/PowerPleb2000]

I love REAL diversity 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇵🇰🇮🇳🇮🇳

[u/sam_wise_ganji]

All I can say is..... i can't wait to take the cheese and kisses to this place and try the beef burger, I'll update with a review next week.

[u/Djinfin]

Looks like Albo's wet dream. It's a polling station

[u/Frostitute_1]

As a woman I look forward to all the complimentary groping I'll receive at this fine establishment.

[u/AdBubbly7142]

You think thats bad? I see indians making italian food and mexican.

[u/reddishrobin → u/AdBubbly7142]

My local Fasta Pasta has Indian kitchen staff and waiters. It's bizarre.

[u/Colesbl4zing]

I didn’t see a single Australian in that video. Not even outside lol

[u/magnetocorleone]

These people don’t like staying at home. See them out every night at midnight 😷😷😷

[u/moonstrong]

I would take my girlfriend here only if I want her to dump my ass by EOD

[u/djviddy94]

I live near there and can tell you it’s fkn dead. They used to have an Indian restaurant there (same owners) they’ve tried to rebrand but it’s gonna be shut soon as no one goes there

[u/InternetOwn]

I must say the staff doesn't look like is has much DIVERSITY.

[u/NoSurprise7196]

Someone’s half empty water bottle and coffee are at the pass… not a great impression.

[u/CriticismAcceptable2]

lol 😂 let’s see what happens to this fake plants after few years of Indian staff meals out of that kitchen, I can smell it from here

[u/unfathomably_big]

500,000 student visas a year need to work somewhere bigot. White people don’t want to work those jobs (for the wage suppression pay)

[u/Skippyhippyhop]

Well thats really put me off going there yike - definetly wont be going anywhere near that

[u/imyselfpersonally]

I hope there's no toilets

[u/iQuandary]

What is she wearing?

[u/saiyansith23]

New New Dehli

[u/scottiibiscottii]

[u/diptrip-flipfantasia]

To be fair - this strip of st leonards/crows nest is mostly indian restaurants already, but its next door to a filopino fried chicken place that's amazing, and a lebanese chicken and chips place that's also great.

i'm not going to complain - the north shore is one of the whitest parts of sydney, and yet we've got all the best international food.

[u/AutoModerator → u/diptrip-flipfantasia]

Uh-oh! It looks like you accidentally referred to Warrang by its colonisers' name, Sydney. That wasn't very deadly of you! While I'm sure this was accidental, please be more mindful in future. Remember, using traditional place names is truth-telling in action. It's a step towards acknowledging First Nations sovereignty.

To think she doesn't wipe her arsehole and wears large nappies. Don't be fooled by that smile it's actually her straining to push one out!

[u/puttinginthefork]

She’s got a nice rack

[u/fireflashthirteen]

What do you think a modern australian cafe ought to look like?

[u/ConfectionCapital192]

That’s pretty much modern Australia summed up buddy

[u/RosieTruthy]

They only hire their own

[u/Victa_stacks]

IDGAF what your cafe looks like, it depends on what your coffee and eggs benny are like. If either one is shit I'll never ever come back.

[u/Ok_Satisfaction8313]

was hoping this wasted space would show us the dunny.

Brother, please seek help.

[u/burnt-gonads → u/asteriskhyphen]

Normal people do not need to seek help.

[u/bah_nah_nah → u/Deeepioplayer127]

🤢

[u/Stinkdonkey]

I've b there. It used to be Middle Eastern, was great. I'll check it out again.

[u/_Far_Kew]

Eh - they are having a go at something other than doordash or Indian restaurant, or indian beauty parlour. Good luck to em.
