Tana Cafe & Restaurant
As far as I am aware, there are only a handful of eateries in Adelaide that serve Ethiopian food. The latest one to open it’s doors is Tana which is located in the new Allenby Gardens shopping complex just outside the city. Having eaten this type of cuisine before, the menu offerings looked vaguely familiar…
Marrakech – North Adelaide
Having already been to the same restaurant in Hyde Park, I already knew what to expect when coming to the North Adelaide restaurant. The venue doesn’t appear to be as large as the Hyde Park store and there is a feeling of being cramped by the number of chairs and tables that they’ve tried to…
Taste of Marrakech
As far as I’m aware, there are only 2 Moroccan restaurants in Adelaide, Le Riad and Marrakech. Taste of Marrakech is not so much a restaurant, but a Central Market stall that offers snacks, salads, spices and dips. Today, I ordered a Spanish Tortilla. As the name suggests, it’s Spanish and not Moroccan, but I…
Babanusa
Babanusa is a restaurant located on Prospect Road. It has been open for 18 years and is Australia’s only Sudanese restaurant. The place must be doing something right to last that long. The decor here is basic and slightly traditional. The bongo drums, the ornaments hanging off the walls and the extensive use of timber,…
Marrakech – Hyde Park
The first thing that strikes you about this place is the beautiful decor; The unique star shaped light fittings, the fancy patterns on the exterior windows, the Islamic symbolism, the Persian style wall hung rug and the antique looking ornaments that hang off the walls. Combined with the dim lighting and the Arabic music playing…
Le Riad
Le Riad is the first Moroccan restaurant that I have ever been to and I was not disappointed. Located on Pulteney Street, this place is decked out like you were actually in Morocco. The staff are warm and inviting and the restaurant itself is nice and cosy. The menu is reasonably priced and offers all…
Abyssinian
What is Ethiopian food? Feeling adventurous I decided to drag 20 people along to find out. Located on Henley Beach Road this is probably one of the few places to get traditional Ethiopian food in Adelaide. The decor is basic and the service is a bit slow. On this occasion, the group decided to go…
