Have come here with friends quite a few times for dinner. The food is always quality, prices are very good, you can get a great feed for a very low price. The service leaves room for improvement, over the years we've had quite a few laughs but also a few disappointments. There is an obvious language barrier at times and often when ordering the banquet they have skipped items, when asking questions about menu items we've often been given incorrect information, or had staff tell a vegetarian than that's not chicken in their soup and then being told it's a chicken and vegetable soup! We laugh now but can get a little frustrating as it's not always the language barrier. Great food though and great prices and despite the 'interesting' experiences the service is still quite friendly. The food won't blow you away but it's typical Chinese food but always well cooked and good quality.

A special little cafe! Real genuine, friendly, family service. The quality of food and beverages is good, as it should be for the price. We paid just over $50 for 3 foccacias, 1 coffee and 2 iced coffees, pricey but the quality is good so it is quite worth it. A beautiful location, ample outdoor seating, right next to the tram tracks. A great place to relax with friends, great quality food and top class service.

The cheapest computer store in Adelaide by miles! Needed to buy a new wireless modem, they were the same price as the cheapest online store and that is without considering I would've had to pay $10 postage on top. The prices are AMAZING and won't be beaten! As previously mentioned you want to know what you need so you can pop in and pick it up, it does get busy and the staff members are always flat out, so do your research before hand.

A great restaurant, fantastic decor, very enjoyable. The staff were all professional, helpful and friendly. Our table was well attended to and everyone had a smile. Meals were brought out quickly, the food was great, well cooked and fantastic flavour. Main meals are around $20, with a serve of steamed rice $4 and naan bread $4. The vegetarian options are quite cheaper. There are also a couple of meal options that include a bit of each curry with rice and bread that is better value but I went with the fish masala with rice and naan bread which was great and I certainly was full. We got a couple of entrees which were well presented and very tasty, perfect entree dishes. Our coffees and desserts were well presented and tasty again. The restaurant accepts American Express, Visa, Mastercard and can is also on the Entertainment Book gold card. A fantastic experience, will certainly be back. Our only slight complaint is the lack of car parking available, a bit of a struggle on a Saturday night :)

A professional establishment, staff members are knowledgeable and passionate about shaving products and will provide A+ assistance. The store has a range of shaving products and also things like hair clippers and other related items. You will find some good prices for good quality items here, often items are up to half price. If you are looking for razors, shavers, hair clippers, re fills or anything similar and need some expert advice then here is the place to go.

This review is for Waterways Products, Lonsdale SA

Had a waterways water filter here when I bought my house. Rang them for a service, the staff member on the phone was friendly and helpful. I arranged a 12pm-3pm visit time, however the day before I was rung to confirm a 9am-12pm visit, nothing was mentioned about a change but I said that was okay and changed around my plans for the day. The service staff member arrived at 930am, unfortunately it took him some time to find the house as the woman on the phone wrote down the wrong street number, despite confirming with it me on the phone initially and on the follow up call. The service staff member seemed a little annoyed about this and wasn't the most pleasant. I ended up paying $144 odd for the service, meanwhile I hear new Pura Taps on the radio from $119 installed so I fail to see how a service being more expensive than the product itself being good value! He was here for about 10 minutes only. Correct me if I am wrong.

They service most areas around the north, north east and east especially. Rang to get our roller door fixed, Andrew the owner is a great guy, honest and carries out his work with integrity. He will give you a fair deal, be up front with you, someone you can trust to do right by you. He won't cut corners and will help you out in anyway possible. If you need a new roller door or needs yours repair you won't go wrong here, prices are good and the work is top class.

This has become my regular pizza place now. The pizza quality is really great, it has become much more consistent and some of the flavour choices must be tried! The chef is great, very friendly. The only slight annoyance I have is the fact the pizzas are often not ready on time, but the quality is great, the price is good and I can't stop coming back.

This review is for Broadway Pizza, Glenelg South SA

Picked up a few large pizzas here for dinner. First of all we were quoted $12 for delivery to the same suburb which we found quite unreasonable, so we decided to pick up. The pizzas were a little late, only 5 minutes or so, the gentleman who served us was quite friendly but one or two of the other workers there didn't appear that friendly. Value wise it isn't too bad, around $12-$15 for a large pizza, we didn't spot any meal deals as you would expect though but maybe they do exist some where, delivery as mentioned is over priced. The pizzas were good, not amazing but they were hot, well presented, had a good amount of toppings, just a little lacking in flavour perhaps. Personally I would choose Highway Pizza in this area however for my next pizza meal.

Went here for lunch. The menu has a lot of items you won't expect to find at a pub, such as a squid ink risotto. The meals are fairly high priced and serving sizes aren't that big unless you go for something basic like a schnitzel. It is going for the higher quality, smaller portion size type menu, but I am not sure if this fits in with a Pub, all be it an ellegant pub is an ellegant suburb. The service was friendly and down to earth, although staff members did go missing a little bit despite only being a few tables of people there. The meals were decent quality, but there isn't much of a choice, first impressions when you sit down and look at the menu isn't a good one . My partner who is vegetarian had one option (some sort of vegetarian pie), at $28.00 it was not bad tasting but very small with no sort of side with it, you could easily eat 4 of them! If you are looking for good quality everyday pub meal you won't like this place, if you are looking for a different selection of unusual foods, try something different and not looking for something to fill you up in elegant surroundings then give it a try.

Approximate cost: $29.00
