Kazbar Yiros

Every shopping centre has a yiros store in their food court. For Westfield Marion, Kazbar Yiros is the store. Today, I ordered the Combination Yiros Plate. Lamb and chicken were succulent and tender, and provided in generous proportions. Vegetables were fresh and crisp. Garlic sauce had a nice thick consistency. Pricing is fairly consistent for…

There are so many choices for Italian food down Rundle Street.

Fasta Pasta – North Adelaide

I’ve been going to Fasta Pasta for years, albeit at various locations around Adelaide. The meals are quick, cheap and casual. The current promotion at the moment is their $7 lunches, which almost makes them irresistible. Today, I ordered the Ravioli Montavana, which is basically mushroom added to bolognese sauce. The ravioli was cooked well….

Marcellina’s

$10 lunch specials at Marcellina’s? I’m there! I’ve had their pizza before but was now tempted to try some of their pasta. This is the flagship store for the Marcellina franchise and has been around for over 40 years. The place has been refurbished to give a more modern feel. The staff here are friendly and…

Panacea

Tapas is so popular in Adelaide at the moment. Situated close to where I live is Panacea. Located on Halifax Street, this beautifully decorated restaurant reminds me of when I was dining out in Barcelona. The rustic flooring, the outdoor canopy, and the spacious courtyard, all make for a cosy environment. The service here was…
