Cafe Komodo

I discovered Cafe Komodo by chance when a group of us were looking for a place to eat. Set behind a small alleyway in Prospect, this restaurant is basically a converted 1950’s house with all the original furniture.

Cafe One Two Nine

Cafe One Two Nine is the downstairs bar area in the Strathmore Hotel. I reckon I’ve been here at least 30 times over the years and for all sorts of reasons.

Jerusalem Sheshkebab House

Jerusalem House is an Adelaide institution that has been around for many decades. Located on Hindley Street, this place is renown for their cheap good food and bad service. The decor is hilarious with the use of Hessian bags as a ceiling and McDonald’s benches as seating. The plastic jugs, the dim lights and the…

Regent Thai is one of the many Thai places located down O’Connell Street. I had never heard of this place before until a friend recommended it so I gathered a group of friends together and checked it out.

Yiannis On Hindley

Yiannis On Hindley make some of the best yiros in Adelaide. The décor is fairly basic and there aren’t too many seats available, but most of their customers are mostly take away anyway. Today, I ordered my usual, the Lamb Yiros. Like most good yiros places, they perform the kill step after they slice the meat…

Fasta Pasta – South Tce

When I want to go out for cheap Italian, this place is one step up from getting Italian food at a food court. It’s probably miles behind the best Italian restaurant, but the food here is cheap and the service is usually good. I remember when this particular store was located on Pirie Street. It…

If you want fast and cheap Korean food, Seoul Express is the place to go. Located in Southern Cross Arcade, this is one of the few Korean takeaway stores that I am aware of. There is a sufficient number of dishes to choose from, all with pretty pictures to see what you’re getting. On this…
