Like no one has time to drive to darra...

So what's your best Northside spot?

My top 2 are

-bhanmi Corner (asking for chilli is Russian roulette- doesn't matter if you say little or lot you'll have no idea how much they put in till it's too late- fun if you like surprise spice, maybe not if you dont).

-Mama Doo (only open week days)

I used to be like the one in the Stafford food court- WOW bhanmi (I think) but I feel like their quality has gone down hill.

Terrible experince trying the new bhanmi factory in Stafford. Punished the ceramic throne all day after one of those. Won't ever be back.

MrTs in Grange did a decent one (but pricey) but apparently they have stopped at Grange and only do it in their other/CBD location.

Hi folks, looking for Aussie suppliers for large (2ct+) lab diamonds. I'm a hobby jeweller and I've been getting a few more commission pieces so I've had to source more stones. Getting sick of using proxies to avoid duty for >$1000 purchases and the ridiculous shipping charges. I'm trying to keep prices down to avoid passing on costs to customers but finding that as I scale up it's more expensive as a piece rather than cheaper!!

I mainly buy coloured/fancy lab diamonds- my niche is mimicing the colour and feel of precious coloured gems like sapphires, rubies, emeralds etc but with durable lab diamonds.

Main things I look for in lab diamonds,

HPHT (IIa)

Low or no birefringence

No catalysts or Boron during growing.

Some provenance on growing lab (optional but nice).
