    My husband grew up in Detroit, Michigan, USA which has The largest Middle Eastern population,…read morespecifically Lebanese, outside of the Middle East. It was with him that I went to lunch a few days ago. We arrived just after noon on a Saturday and we're surprised to be the only patrons! We are seated, quickly given menus, water, and allowed adequate time to review the menu. Our server was the son of the proprietor and he was such a delight! You could tell how proud he is of his Lebanese heritage and regaled up with a few stories of Houda, his grandmother and the restaurant's namesake. In addition he helped guide some of our dining choices and we were not disappointed! Houda's serves up tasty, flavourful, and generous portions. We had so much food left over that we had another meal the next day!

    Amazingly authentic Lebanese food, friendly staff and really nice restaurant. The only thing that…read morelet the place down was the speed of the service... The food wasn't too warm when it arrived at our table... Was really yummy though. The zaartar bread was to die for and the lahm (lamb on a stick) was yummmmm! Would have been a 5/5 if the food was hot! Great food tho would come back (hopefully next time the food comes out hot!) The atmosphere was nice too, they had Lebanese music playing in the background and it seemed like an environment that would be child friendly. Nice and quiet too so you can have a conversation without having to yell.

    Have you got a big night out planned in town? Well, I have the best place for you. Jerusalem House…read moreis made for dining with friends. There is space for large groups at the back of the restaurant, maybe call and book in advance though. They are always busy! So, the only way to dine here is to go the banquet menu. You will be asked, "how hungry are you?" to which you reply "very hungry". They will adjust the cost to your hunger meter. As for the last time I dined, I said I was very hungry and they charged 4 people $25 each. Bargain! Inclusive of the banquet menu is free BYO. So, what you have to do then is hop out of your seat, run across the road to the Rosemont Hotel street bottle shop and grab something to drink. Or bring something along with you; depends how prepared you are. What you do need to prepare for is the amazing dishes served your way. Now, this is homely traditional Jewish food. So you will be given hummus, tabouli, falafels, koftas, green beans, battered fried cauliflower, etc... But this is the best quality you can get. The Hummus is seasoned perfect with the right amount of acidity. The tabouli is super fresh and delightful. You just want a endless plate of Koftas. The beans are served with a tomato sauce that you need to dip your pita bread in. The Cauliflower has a spiced taste and is cooked perfectly without being broken down and heavy with batter. I could go on and on. As for the service, it is fast. This restaurant is used to being busy, so they produce the food quickly and will continue bringing it out until your table is filled with mouth watering selections. As for the décor, don't let it put you off. It is not about the aesthetics here, it is about the food. I think that this restaurant has looked the same in the last 30+ years. True, my mum has photos from her hens night here! So, please take my word for it. Bring your family and friends here and prepare for a great feast! ps. forgive my terrible photos. I was too focused eating the food! ;)

    I've heard this place called an Adelaide institution more than once - and it sure has been around…read morelonger than I remember. It also looks like it has been around longer than I remember - the place is a little worn, but not gloomy. Like many restaurants that have been around long enough to become an 'institution' in Adelaide, the staff are a little aloof. Actually I think Jerusalem House are almost more famous for the bad service than for the food, but that somehow makes it even more charming, in a Black Books kinda way. I prefer aloof to obsequious, although once they did forget to bring my table any form of cutlery whatsoever. One of the waiters is a ten-year old kid, he is less gruff, more cute. I'm reasonably happy to put my complaints about the service aside, because 1) perfect service makes me feel even more uncomfortable and 2) the food is worth coming back for. It's definitely not fancy, and the portions are regular-sized, not huge, but there is something about it that makes me want to eat it again and again. I would suspect MSG but I think it is more likely to be tahini. Personal favourites: fresh lemon juice (almost too natural, I usually water mine down a little, makes it go further anyway), the rice with lentils and yoghurt (it has a proper name, I forget), and the tahini cauliflower. The cauliflower is so good that my boyfriend made up an imitation recipe that is pretty damn close to the original. I keep buying cauliflowers and leaving them around the kitchen as a hint. I forgot to mention the ceiling has a hilarious imitation tent roof made out of Hessian bags.

    It's all about the banter between the ladies cooking and the guy behind the counter. Get a…read moretake-away munooshi just to be able to sit, wait and listen! I don't know why it's called a munooshi - it looks fairly similar to a yiros to me, minus the sticks of anonymous meat twirling around behind the counter. All ingredients are laid out fresh in a sandwhich bar at the front of the shop and you can either get takeaway or sit upstairs in their small dining room. I watched them make the munooshi as the two women cooking consistently yelled at each other from across the room, the guy behind the counter complained that "I leave for one minute and chaos" and I was delighted even before receiving the product. Take 1 large soft pita bread, smother it in tahini, add freshly cooked moist falafel with a crispy exterior, add fresh rocket, tomatoes and cucumber and then smooth the pita bread in half, toast in the grill and wrap up to serve. Simple? Yes. Bloody cheap? At $8 yes. Healthy? Anything with vegetables and tahini has to be - so yes. Quick service? For how busy they were at lunch - yes. Filling? I could have split it between two and then gotten a fresh juice with lunch - yes. So go and get munoosh'd next lunch time.

    What is munooshi? It is defined as an Arabic Pizza, however, I would describe it as the result of…read moresomeone combining a yiros and a calzone. It's sort of like a folded over yiros, but more delicious. Munooshi is the perfect place to go, when you are after a quick lunch in the city. Many of the workers along rundle street run down there for a quick bite on their lunch break. Munooshi has many vegetarian as well as meat lover options and is extremely healthy. A lot of my health freak/exercise freak friends frequent the joint regularly. However, my favourite thing about Munooshi is that it is extremely cheap! You can purchase a meal and a drink for little over $10, so it definitely won't break the bank. The café has very limited seating area, so if you plan to go during peak hour (12-1pm) I'd suggest getting take-away. Rymill Park is situated directly across the road, so if it's a nice day, take your munooshi and go and enjoy it in the park!

From the dips to the lamb cutlets to Greek sausages (Loukaniko) the keftedes are all served perfectly for sharing which makes a night to this establishment perfect for groups. Large range of beers and wines from Greece and that typical Greek warmth and hospitality that the waitress or waiter we dealt with showed to us. Being recommended by others to try I am so glad we did and definitely will be back

This late dinner was overall very relaxing even though we came in off the street so had to sit outside but we enjoyed a cooling breeze after one of Adelaides hot summer days. Service was friendly and competent with a very welcoming host - it was almost as if the whole place had just been transplanted from Greece. A medium sized bar with some interesting Greek craft beers. Definitely will be back for a more extensive review. Recommend booking a few weeks in advance as it is small. An update: we returned mid week for dinner and were treated to warm and friendly service again! This time we had beef shoulder and the traditional lamb and beef patties. The shoulder was the highlight smothered with delicious tomatoes and sitting on a very tasty sauce. Our entree was the octopus cooked in wine - succulent! Not tough at all which I think is a sign of good octopus cooking? Salad was very interesting lentil and pomegranate - also yum. Desert was a spongey chocolate tart and reminded me of those self saucing puddings, except it was way more delicious. Drinks were a Greek ipa and the Greek alpha red which reminded me of the reds in southern France. Coffee was excellent.
