Pattaya Thai – North Adelaide

When most kitchens are closing up after 9pm, Pattaya Thai, on the northern end of O’Connell Street is still cooking up a storm. The decor is neat and elegant, although some parts of the store aren’t as well lit as others. The menu offers all your traditional Thai favourites and the seating at this place…

Exchange Specialty Coffee

Anybody that knows coffee knows that Exchange Specialty Coffee does exceptional espresso and filter coffees. It’s also worth mentioning that they also serve meals here, and for the basis of this review, I’ll be judging them on the food. The store is located towards the east end of the city and is simple and minimalist…

Go-In Hot Pot Train

Go-In Hot Pot Train was previously located on Hindley Street but has now moved to a more convenient Gouger Street location. Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve ever been out for anything like this and personally, I think the concept is fantastic. Don’t be deceived by the name, there actually is…

Turi

Grenfell Plaza is becoming a hive of activity with all the new eateries that are opening along the corridor. Turi is one of the latest to open it’s doors offering authentic Sicilian cuisine. The menu is a melting pot of Arabic, Middle Eastern and Turkish inspired flavours with specialties including Arancini and Ragu. The place…

Grange Pizza Bar

Grange Pizza Bar is located metres away from Grange Jetty and is a popular place for beach goers to grab a pizza and sit down by the beach, particularly during the Summer. The place itself is nothing impressive, and it doesn’t have to be, as most of their clientele are take away customers. There are…

Tom & Jerry

I don’t usually venture out to the Northern suburbs, but I found out about this place through a friend on Facebook. Banking on the fame of the two cartoon characters is Tom and Jerry, a small Middle Eastern eatery, which is located straight down Main North Road as you head out of the city. The…

Arab Steed Hotel

The Arab Steed Hotel is located on the corner of Hutt Street and Gilles Street in the South East of the city. The exterior of the building is historical in appearance, however, the internal features are slightly more modernised. Their menu is modern Australian with a lot of the traditional pub fare available. For lunch,…

Ashoka

I’ve walked past Ashoka on numerous occasions and rarely have I seen a full house. In most cases, that can be taken as a bad sign, but you never really know until you’ve tried the food there. Without spending too much money, I came here for their $8.90 curry and rice lunchtime specials. This price…

The Corner Store on Semaphore

Located in a prime position on the busy Semaphore Road cafe precinct is The Corner Store on Semaphore. The interior is very quirky, yet full of character. There’s a bike on a fridge, an an assortment of tables and chairs, and a feature wall that matches the coffee machine. It’s all quite unique with French…

Pira Thai

Pira Thai is a small restaurant located outside the city fringe in Unley. This place came highly recommended so I came here expecting a good meal. I’ve also read reviews about how the decor isn’t that great. I’d have to agree. It’s fairly basic, however, it’s still neat and well presented. Their menu offers all…
