This review is for Charminar Indian Restaurant, Brighton SA

verified email - 10 Jan 2015

A delightful Indian restaurant with oodles of charm. The staff are wonderful – efficient, helpful and very friendly. Off road parking is available, but limited.
We enjoy their lunch specials with prices ranging between $7.90 and $8.90, which includes rice. Chicken Korma is my favourite and theirs is the best.
The main menu is huge (lots of variety) and the average mains is $19.
The mango lassi is $4.50 and is absolutely delicious. We have taken our parents for lunch and we will all be returning. Thoroughly recommended.

Approximate cost: $mains $19 average

This review is for CAPTAIN PROUD RIVER BOAT, Mannum SA

verified email - 10 Jan 2015

We purchased "a deal" for a five hour lunch cruise. We had a glorious relaxing and enjoyable time on this cruise from Mannum to Murray Bridge.
It was one of our most peaceful days just sitting on the deck watching the sights of the Murray River slowing pass us.
Our cruise included a tasty morning tea with a nice selection of small cakes and slices, and two course lunch.
Our Captain entertained us with his informative local commentary.
We were transported back to Mannum by coach. Thoroughly recommend, especially with a coupon discount. Something I would enjoy doing again.

Approximate cost: $deal approx $39

This review is for NOW GENERATION BEAUTY, Goodwood SA

First impression was disappointing. The establishment in situated at the rear of a building and looks dis-enchanting. The waiting area was quite awful. However the therapist, Sharon, was really lovely and the treatment room was pleasant enough. I had purchased a deal for 3 treatments x 60 minutes of High Intensity Ultrasound Non Surgical Liposuction for $130 (Value $540). I was also given the choice of facial exfoliation and under eye treatment, which I took up, and had 2 liposuction treatments. While pleasant the lipo showed no effect (maybe after many more there could be results). However the facial treatment was glorious - my skin felt like silk. Not one of the treatments lasted more than 50 minutes which is not very professional. It is not a place that I choose to revisit.

Approximate cost: $$$$

Not on Jetty Road, stairway entrance around corner on Cowper Street
Large restaurant, slight lack of atmosphere, but can imagine dining on the balcony overlooking Jetty Road on a summer's night.
Absolutely excellent service and delicious and ample servings of food. Fortunate to have a voucher
Entree 4 Paneer Pakora – delicious beef kebabs, Pappadums with dipping sauce, Korma Chicken and Beef Madras were both lovely, garlic and peshwari (fruit and nut) naans were amazing, Gulab Jamun and Kulfi (Creamy,Denser Frozen dairy dessert - House Special). My Kulfi was peach flavour and was the best I have ever had. Our Mango Lassi drinks were yummy.

Approximate cost: $Mains average $15.50

This review is for Kindergym Australia, Noarlunga Centre SA

Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday
 9.30am to 10.15am (under2 yrs)
 10.15am to 11.00am (2-3 yrs)
 11.00am to 11.45am (3+ yrs)

Noarlunga Leisure Centre. Payment for 10 lessons $110 – upfront. They are flexible on the visits. Each week there is a different circuit. Friendly leaders. Enjoyable but not very structured. Small amount of group time on the mat and shown through the circuit, then basically free play overlooked by child's carer only. Unfortunately the 3+ year session has younger family members also. I have no problem supervising my own grandchild but found it difficult when others did not do so, especially with the younger ones. Still my 3.1/2 year old grandson had a wonderful time during his 10 lessons, but due to sharing with very small ones we discontinued.

This review is for Smiling Samoyed Brewery, Myponga SA

verified email - 10 Jan 2015

The enchanting scenery surrounding the brewery was quickly diminished by the poor service and somewhat inhospitable nature of the staff. Despite having made a booking for a large group, the brewery was understaffed and after waiting in line for 20 minutes we were advised that the wood oven pizzas (which looked fantastic) had a forty minute wait. Our next choice-wedges, had sold out.
The beers and cider I'm told were nice, though somewhat overshadowed by the lack of accompanying tasting plates. The venue itself was cold and when we requested the heaters were turned on we were asked somewhat sarcastically if we preferred the warmth or an additional 20 minutes wait on food. This was nothing compared to being told that one of our children tripping was to be expected if left running around.
The best part of the venue was the two dogs outside who provided much entertainment to the children (and were the friendliest members of the establishment).
I would recommend simply packing a picnic and sitting amongst the rolling green hills that surround the reservoir.

This review is for PIMPALA ROAD BOARDING CATTERY, Reynella SA

I was recommended to this cattery by a friend and am very grateful. Pam and her husband are wonderful. They are not only very professional but very caring. The cat enclosures are human height and about 1 metre wide by approx. 2 metres long. The cats are regularly placed in a larger play area which overlooks nature. The cattery is immaculate. Pam supplies everything including bedding and toys. She requires vaccination certificates for 2 years running which protects your animal from diseases from other cats. Our cats have come back happy and healthy time. They have been there 3 times and will be returning whenever we take holidays.

Approximate cost: $26 nightly for 2 cats

I was fortunate to find an ‘Our Deal' special for a deluxe manicure and basic pedicure. The cost was $17 rather than $60 +. I received wonderful, friendly and professional treatment. The salon offers a wide range of nail services at average prices. You are made to feel like a regular important client. Excellent establishment.
