Natee Thai – Relocated Store
Natee Thai is located on the western end of Jetty Road, literally metres away from Glenelg Beach. It had humble beginnings on Pulteney Street in the city and has since moved and replaced what used to be the Oyster Shop. The menu looks vaguely familiar but is full of your traditional Thai favourites. Like all…
Kathmandu Palace
Kathmandu Palace is located in a lovely historical building on Nile Street in Glenelg. Conveniently located on a side street, there was plenty of street parking to be found, particularly if you come here straight after work. Anybody familiar with Nepalese cuisine would know of it’s strong Indian influences as seen in its menu. The…
Sanctuary Tea House
Craving for a Vietnamese Roast Pork Roll, I once again turn to the Banh Mi Locator smartphone application. It directs me to the Sanctuary Tea House which is located inside the Westfield Marion Shopping Centre. It’s not inside the food court, but on the ground level directly under it. As their name suggests, they have…
Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum
There aren’t many places in Adelaide where you can have Yum Cha in the evening and an Asian inspired Martini to go with it. Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum, formerly known as Suzie Wong’s Room, fills that void. The re-branding of the venue has seen a shift from Eastern European cuisine to the owner’s…

Henley Beach Vietnamese Meat Rolls
Vietnamese street food continues to grow in popularity as we see these types of stores pop up all over the state. One of the three stores that I’m aware of down Henley Beach Road is the unimaginatively named Henley Beach Vietnamese Meat Rolls. As their name suggests, they offer five types of bread roll, as…
Silk and Spice
Having driven past this place many times, I actually had no idea Silk and Spice existed, let alone the fact that this restaurant has been around for over 5 years. Silk and Spice is located in a renovated bungalow on the busy Henley Beach Road. Excluding the specials, there are over 40 dishes to choose…
Hove Deli
There aren’t too many places that sell Vietnamese Rolls in the beachside suburbs, however, the Banh Mi Locator smartphone application indicated that there was place in Hove. Hove Deli sells 5 types of Vietnamese rolls, Cold Rolls and Beef Noodle Soup, as well as the customary sandwiches, pies, pasties and hot dogs. The decor looks…
Grass Chicken
Grass Chicken is the latest to open down the notorious Hindley Street precinct. The use of the word “grass” is synonymous with the freshness of their chicken. The chicken is delivered two days prior and then marinated for at least a day before reaching the customer. To some extent, the menu reads like an Asian…
