You come to Comics for burgers, ribs and curries in Glenashley, either to eat at the tables or to take away. The kitchen has been running since 1995, when Roland van Breeman and his wife Michelle opened it as a takeaway that later grew into a sit-down restaurant. The Glenashley branch opened in 2013 with more space and a garden where children run between tables.

The menu covers the ground between pizza and salads, with curries and ribs as steady sellers. The place works for families — the garden gives children room to move — and for regulars who know the staff by name. Eleven full-time and eleven casual staff keep the kitchen and floor running.

Matt, one of the team, describes the rhythm of the place: customers returning with stories, children playing in the garden, the satisfaction of serving food that leaves people content. The building holds both the takeaway counter and the restaurant, so you can order to go or stay at a table under the trees.
