This dine-in or take-away kebab shop and bakery is a gem; a few 'new arrival' families who all had experience back around Turkey and the Middle East with bakeries but could not individually afford to start business got together and set this one up, so there is a lot of expertise involved, and a lot of pride. Even though it looks like not much from the street, it is a humble, clean and respectable venue. I've eaten here many times and I really like it a lot. Their bread is sold all over Adelaide, and can be purchased at its lowest cost here where it is made. The lads who run the place at night are all good boys, they are consistent with their food preparation and they usually have a smile for you. Off the menu I have tried a Shami minced lamb kebab, a Lamb Korma (curry) a Falafel (Vegetable) kebab, Doogh yogurt drink (very yummy, a little like an Indian Lassi) but what I usually have is like a mixed grill, a little of everything. The traditional desserts, like the bread are made here and also sold in many outlets around Adelaide they a crunchy baklava with pistachio, cashew, and a poppy seed cake. They are mostly cheap and usually very fresh when purchased here, particularly the Lady Fingers which also come in a chocolate coated version. The elder men who work in the day time and from before dawn to make the bread are also generally very happy and friendly. The store sells some groceries as well, not a lot, but a few items. If you are sitting down for a meal, it is Halal, you can wash your hands. The food is served with some salad and bread. They have a canvass blind outside to mask the hot afternoon sun and the traffic of busy South Road, and if you are driving you can park around the back, so it is all very easy. The cost is very low. Good for a single meal or a group.

Half chicken with naan and salad for $10

I always thought The Hunger Games was just another way of describing my Friday night scramble for a meal out of the house, and if you had seen me last Friday you would understand why. I'd read the reviews, seen the photos and known that Lawash was going to be my fat luck Friday feast. I drove along South Rd, looking for the dodgy blue and white shop I'd driven past and never gone into so many times before and got a little disoriented. Lawash has upgraded and doubled in size! Now taking over 2 store fronts, with open kitchens and wood ovens, their menu is displayed on crisp and clean black and white boards and with actually tempting looking photos of their chicken and grill dishes. I almost walked outside to check the name of the place again as it was so different to what I was expected. $10 and 10 minutes later, after watching a constant stream of other hungry mouths come in to play, I was handed a container and went on my merry way. The 1/2 chicken, lawash bread and "salad" (1 tomato slice and some lettuce) was more than enough for one person. The charcoal chicken skin was crispy, finger licken' oily and ensured a succulent chicken breast, wing and leg were protected from becoming dry underneath. It had a hint of spice which I loved (but spice sensitives won't) and so did the yoghurt sauce accompanying the meal. The bread was huge, fluffy and not oily at all, perfect for soaking up some of the chicken meat. I rolled over on the couch after dinner, satisfied with my Hunger Games win.

I have driven past this so many times while living in the area and ignored it as just a little bakery. Once entering and paying the $12 for a combo kebab pack, taking it home and devouring it my opinion changed. Amazing food, great value.

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!

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.

Nothing on the menu was as it used to be. The standard classic dishes were a major disappointment,they were not nearly as delicious or tasty as they were. There were 3 dishes that we used to enjoy that were nothing like they used to be. Service was ok but this restaurant is absolutely relying on its past stellar reputation. We were so excited for our evening but sadly we were really disappointed and it kind really ruined my first night reunion.

OMG!! This place is AMAZING!!…read more I will admit, when friends of mine suggested we go to an Afgani Restaurant for dinner, I was a little apprehensive as to whether there would be anythign on the menu that i would actually eat. There were 7 people in our group, and there were 8 mains on the menu, so we pretty much ordered one of everything. And all of it was DELICIOUS! My personal favorites were the rose syrup drink that I had that tasted like liquid turkish delight, the eggplant dish (eggplants in an aromatic tomato sauce) and the lamb (melt in your mouth aromatically spiced lamb) Seriously, if you are looking for somewhere new to try, give this place a go. They have a BYO licence (so you can bring your own wine) and the service was EXCELLENT!! We had drinks, and LOTS of food, and some corkage and we shared a dessert and all up when we split the bill it worked out to $37 each. Very reasonable for the amount of food that we had and the quality of the food and the service. This place is a MUST try!!

My Mother and I were in the neighbourhood and needed a feed. Yelp of course lead me to this fine family restaurant just off Goodwood road. Easily spotted with colourful signage on the road. Sumac staff are quiet, but are really friendly and welcoming. They are very happy to walk you through the menu if you are unsure of what items are. Some of them I had not heard of before. My Mum and I love to sample everything, and there isn't really much we don't like. So we of course went for the Shashlik Platter. It comes with three different styles of Shashlik, hummus, baba ganoush, home-made pickles, tabouli, salad with crispy pita, spiced rice and garlic sauce. All of that for $24.90! So awesome! We actually thought it would be smaller, so we ordered a plate of falafels as well. And yes, we definitely had stuff to take home. My fave on the platter was the hummus, pickles & chicken shashlik. All very flavoursome and well spiced. Wow, that garlic sauce is really intense, but also amazing on the pita bread. The falafels were fresh, but not as fluffy as I would have liked. They were full of fresh herbs though, so that made up for that! A huge menu to choose from, so be prepared to take a while to decide. You will really love this place!

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!

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! ;)

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.
