How we read reviews →Premium Afro-centric chophouse at Chadstone. serious steaks and remarkable service for celebrations
Sophisticated and spacious with Afro-centric decor that creates a distinctive upmarket chophouse feel well above a typical shopping centre restaurant. Separate Puza lounge for private functions and group bookings. The room manages to feel special without being stiff, and the kitchen team's attention to occasion-marking creates a warm celebratory energy throughout.
Express lunch menu (2 courses + wine from $49-55 pp) is a recurring value highlight. Set menus accommodate groups of up to 20. The Puza lounge for private events. Staff proactively ask about occasions and arrange complimentary birthday/anniversary desserts. Drawing materials provided for children at the table. Outdoor terrace seating when weather permits.
The venue's editorial identity is Afro-centric inspired by African chophouse culture, which informs the decor and some menu elements including the biltong butter sauce. The steak sourcing (O'Connor, Monte, aged cuts) reflects a genuine commitment to Australian premium beef.
The express lunch menu is considered exceptional value at $49-55 per person with a glass of wine included. À la carte steaks sit at $80-90+ for premium cuts. The majority of reviewers consider the quality of meat to justify the price; a minority felt it did not clear the bar for the spend.
