The food and layout was out of this world good, set the scene for a lovely dinner out with friends and flavors that rival being overseas especially south east Asia. The staff were good but somewhat rushed and seemed to want to be on the OTHER side of the bar instead of having to work a Friday night which is understandable but could defiantly feel a "rushed" vibe about the whole thing. Will 100% come back as we loved the food and place in general.

Walking into this cool establishment with the mood lighting and the generic scatter of typical…read moreSouth-East Asian paraphernalia, it took me back to the streets of Vietnam and Thailand. I am a massive fan of the peeps at San Arc Studio and this little interior gem was established well before Pink Moon Saloon made social headlines. A birthday lunch brought the office gang to this place. Being a group of roughly 20 we preordered for obvious reasons. Staff was friendly and attentive, nothing to fault here. We were greeted and seated and water poured. I selected two dishes from the lunch specials because I had a feeling that these trendy places tends to be stingy with the quantity. Plus, the two chosen dishes has zero carbs. I love carbs, so one dish would not have sufficed. Lemongrass chickens wings and enoki seafood salad were my choices. A mistake from the kitchen allowed me to sample their prawn and corn dumplings. They were all lovely, but the wings was a tad too salty for me. Served with a diluted fish sauce, I thought the salt offering was a bit of an overkill. Constraint by time, we ate, drank and left within the hour. I would like to return, but next time for dinner. There is one thing that irks me with alot of these hipster restaurants / cafes / eateries; which is the price. For the serving size, quality of produce and the often hit and miss of the so called fusion cuisine, I fail to see the justification. My wings were split in half to amp up the illusion of a bigger portion. My salad had imported prawns and soda-soaked squid which was rather tasteless. I expected more from a seafood dish. Where was my mussels? Or fish? I enjoyed the flavours, but lack of decent and local ingredients in my dishes annoyed me. I have heard good things about this place, especially regarding their cocktails, so I have not written it off entirely.

Most chivalrous) Bar staff were very attentive, knowledgable, cute, personable and fun. Upon receiving our cheese, we were offered a detailed (but not too detailed) explanation of the various aspects of the dish. Very delicious. Overall ambience was energetic and fun. Not pretentious. Funky and happening. I'll be back! Au Revoir :-)

The fit out is highly considered and perfectly done. Sit at the bar with a glass of Pastis or take over a table with friends and you'll soon imagine that you're in downtown Paris. The menu features all manner of charcuterie and cheese, and some french specialities like snails. We were lucky enough to be there while the staff were doing a little tasting and we got to try one of those garlicky juicy suckers! Yum! There's a significant wine list, with plenty of local and international options. For lovers of the current natural wine craze you'll be catered for, while those who prefer something a little more old-world will also find the names they've come to love. Options by the glass are varied and well priced, though note the pour is a little on the small side. No big deal if you ask me, being a bit cheaper and smaller it means you can try a lot more... right? The cocktail list I didn't get to experience, but it looks interesting and there's some interesting spirits behind the bar if you're looking for something a little different to drink with all that charcuterie.

You'll crane your neck, pull the car over, and decide to go in and check out this cool new wine bar. You'll look around this awesome new space, maybe order a wine, pick up a menu to read, and have your mind blown: 'What, this is a Charminar Indian restaurant??' Yes indeed my friend, this is a Charminar, but not like the others. Instead of the usual design the owners have taken the site of the old Primo's and transformed it into an industrial, modern, fantastic little restaurant, that looks nothing like a Charminar. The manager informed us they've been open for twelve days and they took a big risk with this venture: a hot pink feature wall with a cow on it? Yeah they did, and it paid off. The enormous lamp hanging in the centre, the distressed white tables and black seating, the menu built into a huge scroll on the wall and best of all, the cow, it's a great! I am a huge fan of Charminar's trademark cheese naan and butter chicken and now I get to eat it in this cool new space! Win.

Admittedly it's been a few months since i visited Charminar and I am due for another visit (had the…read moretake-away menu out last night to whet my appetite!). I have been a few times and loved it. The food was really, delicious. I thought the portion sizes were spot on and it all was fresh and flavoursome. Love the mural outside - fun, vibrant and adds character. Love that I can walk there! And stumble home..... So close to the beach that an after-meal walk along the beach is a great way to walk off any over-indulgences. Friendly and helpful staff, funky decor, good atmosphere. A great improvement from the Primo that was there before! Good luck Charminar - I hope you are there to stay!

And I would have to agree, it WAS the best meal he'd ever had. I ate most of it (to his dismay) because i made the poor choice of quail, quite forgetting that quail doesn't eat much in life and therefore is too small and fiddly for this lazy girl. Not the fault of the restaurant, it was extremely tasty - it was my fault for ordering quail, even after my partner asked, 'have you eaten quail before?' 'yes' I lied in firm defiance. Well, I got caught out and he lost most of the BEST meal he'd ever had. I had a zucchini dip for entree and it was delicious and the BEST meal ever was a Lentil and chicken Tagine called 'Harissa' with the flat bread IN THE TAGINE! The atmosphere was brilliant, a family owned small restaraunt with the bright colours of morocco and the mid east. I will be going back again and again.

Situated on Pulteney Street, this Moroccan restaurant is a hidden gem. It may look small on the…read moreoutside but this restaurant is cozy and well decorated. The staff are very friendly and it is probably one of the best value Moroccan feeds I have had in Adelaide (arguably as good as Marrakech Restaurant and around only 60% of the price). As soon as you walk in your senses are tantalised by wafts of incredible smells from the kitchen. The restaurant is covered with cool artefacts that makes it feel welcoming and casual (in a good way). I tried their Harrisa soup which was incredibly tasty with strong flavours of coriander and a subtle spice. It was appetising at just over $10 or so, it was well worth it. There were plenty of chickpeas too which was nice. Next up was a Moroccan potato salad. Served hot in a small dish, the potato salad was well spiced with a serve of flavoured onion. Again, this dish didn't disappoint. Last up was a vegetarian Tagine. There were plenty of veggies and plenty of flavour. It had carrots, peas, capsicum, potato, sweet potato and onion. It tasted really authentic and had a very pleasant aroma. I had this dish with rice this time but next time I definitely want to try their Moroccan bread. All in all, a great evening and at $40 for these three dishes, it is highly affordable! Definitely recommend.

Now boys and girls, who knew "panacea" means to "cure all"?…read moreThat is the perfect description for the warming, hearty spanish inspired meals served up from a daily changing specials menu and regular pizza and tapas fare here. Sit amongst birds nest lighting, green walls and in uncomfortable plastic chairs while you watch a chaotic open kitchen steam, clang and heat up inside or take a leisurely look down your nose at passers by as you sip your red wine and nibble tapas under big white umbrellas in the summer breeze outside. Crispy BBQ quail, simple warmed olives and baked gnocchi are all you really need to look at but there is a very long menu for those who like to feel they have choice. Note thought that this is one of those places where you need to probably allow sharing plate minimum per person though if you want to be full at the end of the night. Very strong Moroccan, Spanish and meat based flavours engulf most dishes here and you will get rich flavours like goats cheese, marinated herbs and plenty of salt coming through with most dishes - but it is worth it. Service is hilariously attentive - I have had 2 people serving my table all 3 times I have been to date. And waitered service like that is normally a lot more expensive in Adelaide now-days. It really makes you feel special and enhances the experience of "being amongst it" where you are literally next to the open kitchen if you are in the main area. If you don't fancy flashing the AMEX card then dine here with the suits and ties or stockings and slippers (very few of those) for lunch and dinner from 12-6pm Monday to Thursday for half price pizzas and jugs of sangria - bargain!

I visited here on Friday night for a much needed after work drink with a friend and I was…read morepleasantly surprised. I hadn't been to Panacea in years and was unsure what to expect. Not only did we receive 25% off our bill using the check in feature on the Yelp app, but the red sangria was absolutely delicious. No cheap nasty wine was used and had an authentic Spanish taste. We ordered the pate entree to share and we're impressed at the very generous serving. The flavour was perfect and just enough to keep us going until our later Dinner. The service was good. However when we arrived we were the only ones there. Although friendly, it wasn't above and beyond. It would be good to see how they fare when the restaurant was a little busier. Will definitely return to try the full menu and for more sangria. If you have not already been, now's the time - especially with the current Yelp offer which will make that sangria extra sweet and soul soothing.

Mainly because they were the only pizza place in the hills we discovered, and had we known we would've packed our own lunch. All we really wanted was a Pizza Hut but there are none in the hills...so here's a big tip for those of you who are cashed up investors...open a franchise and give Jimmies a run for their money. I will be a customer but please do a good job and no slap dash stuff. P.S please respond to my review and let me know when you do ok!! Because boy was it expensive for a wood oven pizza and feeding over 10 hungry kids and a few adults, it's enough to get a bank loan. We didn't find the pizza all that fantastic, I mean kids will eat almost anything but to the discerning adult it wasn't anything to write home about, hence I'm writing here about the negatives. So yes we had takeaway and didn't eat in, it was too toffee for a bunch of ragamuffin kids and weekend scruffy parents to go in, so yeah it's a 'meh, I've experienced better' rating.

We ordered steak _well done, no blood_ and had to send it back 3 times. Each time it came out raw with blood running across the plate. Staff shrugged and said "steak is cooked with blood coming out, it's natural". Hygiene is non-existent - 0/10. The waitress had her fingers all over the food when she brought the plate out. After all the back-and-forth to the kitchen, we both got sick. It genuinely felt like something was done to the food. The staff stand around gossiping about customers loud enough for everyone to hear. When we raised the issues politely, we were treated like rubbish. To top it off, I received an aggressive, insulting email from the manager/owner saying we are no longer welcome, just for complaining about raw food and poor hygiene. *Food*: Undercooked, unsafe *Service*: Rude, unprofessional, gossipy *Hygiene*: Disgusting - staff touching food *Management*: Hostile and unaccountable Avoid at all costs.
