Guidebook for Iluka
Food Scene
The food is basic and totally yummy and seating is also basic (trestle tables and chairs). The food is entirely vegetarian (Indian). The location is phenomenal, right on the Swan but primarily because of their philosophy. They don't charge anything, you pay what you think it's worth and what you can afford so if you're down on your luck, you can eat for free.
