Rather, it fresh and made with quality ingredients. The staff are great and the surroundings nostalgic of the 70s but clean and well maintained. It's been there for a while with the same family running it. So they must doing something right. Very reasonably priced too.

so glad we didn't "judge a restaurant by it's frontage" with this one - what a beautiful surprise!!…read more We ordered the braised Chicken with Cashews, Satay Chicken and Sizzling Fillet Steak with Chilli. Yum! Yum! Yum! Chicken was tender, flavours were amazing. Order suggestions were welcomed and the staff were more than happy to make minor adjustments to one dish to ensure we were satisfied. FREE prawn crackers always goes down well in our family.

Down in the Marion Shopping Centre is Casuarina, An Asian Bistro. (Great for pre/post movie feed)…read moreAsian food is what it's all about and done quite well. Friends had one of the noodle dishes and it looked and apparently tasted good. I had one of the duck dishes and I was very pleased with it. A mild flavoured (but tasty sauce) the duck was tender, the rice cooked well. Table service was OK, not great. but OK.

Home away from home. Very brightly painted, great place…read morefor family gatherings and groups of 10 or less. Sure , there is a menu. But the second best decision of your night (first one was choosing this place) will be to say "feed me". The marvelous host will take you through a great journey of flavours. You know several dishes already: kebabs, cabbage wraps, hummus, rice... but the flavours are so much better than you normally get anywhere else in adelaide. The marinated lamb makes you shiver on your chair. Plates will start arriving and you will continue craving more. And what's best. Prices are quite affordable (~$23 pp) for the feast. No alcohol license unfortunately. But this shouldn't stop you.

BEST coffee and ceaser salad i've ever had!!! The staff are so friendly ++…read more There's comfy chairs or big tables depending on what you prefer, the decor is perfect (recently been done up) Really good prices for the food you're getting (plus they do Uber Eats!!!) 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a comfy cafe with great service and quality food and drinks!!

Anyone who reads my reviews would know there is a distinct lack of coffee shops around this area…read more... some snack bars have popped up which serve coffee, but they don't have that 'cafe' sort of atmosphere. Imagine my excitement when I saw a 'cafe open soon' sign on the corner building in this block of shops o Diagonal Road ... I wondered whether it would be a granny-ish tea rooms style place, or a trendy upmarket cafe. Well, it's kind of a combination of both, which is probably perfect for this sort of area. I visited the second day after it opened, and it was nearly full - lots of elderly folk, which makes sense in the Warradale area. The cafe is quite modern, with the fitout very simple in white with a red and black menu board, and a gorgeous red coffee machine. The staff are very friendly older people - I ordered a soy latte (yay, they had soy milk!), and though I had to wait a while (since the guy was still learning to use the machine), it was delicious! I get the feeling that this is a new venture for these owners, and it's great to see people this age taking on a new business with enthusiasm! Overall, this is definitely a place I will be visiting again ... next time I'll test out a long black ;)

Owned by Asians but they make out it isn't? I just don't like lies…read more.. Food was very.. very ordinary found the staff to be rude.. Prices are high compared to local competition and this didn't even compare to the competitions standards. Also didn't like the fact the cook was smoking around the side without shoes on?? Just bizarre if you ask me... I will not be returning I will continue to go where the good service is and great staff and prices are.... Ill give you a hint the sun is always shinning

Well, this pub, which happens to be located in Glenelg's back streets, is actually a pretty lively…read morepub. Then again I probably shouldn't be all that surprised considering that not only is it Glenelg, it is the type of place that really only the locals know about, and considering the locals, then this is going to be one of those pubs that I really do like. Well, I wasn't wrong at all, they have an awesome beer garden, with a stage, and a great selection of beers as well. Definitely one to check out.

Have been here a few times for coffee, which is absolutely fantastic! Always perfectly made and…read morequick to come out. They also have a menu for food, as well as various cakes, slices etc. in the fridge available. I came here the other day to try some breakfast options for the first time with my partner. I ordered the mushroom ragout with toast (with extra tomatoes on the side) and my partner had the mushroom, asparagus, haloumi and poached eggs. The portions were well sized and appropriate for the price. The mushroom ragout was absolutely delicious. Super creamy and a great variety of mushrooms. I honestly cannot wait to go back and have it again. My partner's dish was also great with a decent sized serving of haloumi, which is rare to see at most places. The only criticism was that the haloumi was a bit overcooked, which made it rubbery... and the poached eggs were hard inside and not at all runny, which sort of ruined it for him as the rest of the ingredients were a bit dry on their own and really needed that runny egg yolk to bring it all together! Regardless, we will definitely be returning. Great selection of food (particularly for vegetarians) compared to the standard coffee, toast and eggs you get at most of the other cafes. EDIT: Came back a second time and whilst the haloumi was a bit rubbery and too salty still, the eggs were perfect and it made a HUGE difference.

This is now my go-to lunch time cafe. It is tucked away under escalators so you're out of the noise…read moreof Marion and the set-up is very intimate. The menu is adequate but the coffee is insanely good. Extra points for the top-shelf music e.g. Boy & Bear, Dan Sultan, The National, etc. This place is a cut above anything else in the centre.

Pattaya Thai is where I get my regular take away Thai meal. It has got to the stage that as soon…read moreas I order Wang says "How are you today Alison". It is a bit like a scene from a romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts. Anyway, I digress, I do like the restaurant with it's Kitsch plastic fruit and crustaceans adorning the walls. I have even been adventurous and eaten in. I wouldn't say it is anywhere near the best Thai food in the area but it is consistent and close by. I always order the Chicken Basil with fried rice even though it tastes nothing like any other Chicken Basil I have ever had anywhere else. I would recommend their house named dishes ie. Pattaya Fish. The food is a little hit and miss and does have a somewhat greasy taste but it isn't completely unpleasant. If you like daggy, cheap asian restaurants I would certainly give this a go. If you want something more upmarket or mainstream give it a wide berth. If you do go in say hello to Wang. He will be operating the oversized calculator on the front desk. When we first ventured in here we used to laugh (quietly to ourselves of course) because he would always check the addition on his calculator about three times. Then one day when I was waiting, I happened to check out the calculator and realised that it was so worn out you couldn't see the numbers and that is why he had to triple check. But all is good now as I went in for the first time in a while and noticed a shiny new calculator in pride of place and when it came to pay, Wang only had to do the addition once!

We had pretty high expectations as this place got a good review…read more However, it took a half hour to get our entrees. The tom yum soup was ok but not the best we've had. And was strangely flavoured. Probably because it had basil leaves instead of the proper lime and lemongrass leaves. The Pandan chicken was kind of sour - should have been sweet. The mains took another hour to come. The waiter apologised and offered us free drinks, which we refused but I asked him for tea. He said he'd bring us Chinese tea and ended up bringing some kind of medicinal flavoured herbal tea. Not really very appetizing. The Pattaya fish ended up being served in little fried pieces instead of as a whole fish that we expected. We should have gone for the steamed fish. The special crab-fried rice was pretty much just rice. my partner said he tasted some crab in one bite. The curry veg was mostly cabbage and very soupy. Not much veg in it. The toilet only has a dirty looking bar of soap on the sink for washing hands. We wouldn't touch it. Overall, not a great experience.
