They seem to genuinely aim to give the best service at the cheapest rates while still keeping the business in Australia. They have been straight-up and very helpful. Their customer service is prompt and competent. I really like to back an Australian-owned competitor in the mobile phone carrier market.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is very nice and quiet and peaceful, which suits the Nepalese theme. The service was good, but not sensational. They have a good variety of dishes. The food was very fresh and had a good balance of flavours, but somehow that night the flavours hadn't sunk in or something - maybe it had been made too recently. However, it was good food - not cheap but not very expensive.

The owner seems really straight-up and seems to know his stuff well. They slightly under-charged rather than over-charged, relative to other mechanics. Their actual hourly rate seems about average for mechanics. They spent a lot of time with me trying to find the fault in my car before I booked it in. They actually charged me less than quoted after they found the job was simpler than expected, which they couldn't tell until looking inside it, so i think that indicates honesty (and they were clearly not just making up the first quote). Later when i returned they were very happy to check something that another mechanic said i needed done and told me i didn't need to get it fixed, partly since they had seen inside the car whilst fixing it. They are definitely worth trying if you are looking for an honest knowledgeable mechanic.

My friend and I went there for the lunch special. The food really was good quality and tasty. The lunch special was worth having for the price, I thought, and so did my friend, who is a very experienced restaurant visitor. I would go there for dinner.

I also was pleased to find an Indian restaurant so close to where i live and where you can find a free park right outside. The ambience is nice and the waiters were very friendly, chatted with us, and were keen to help. Serving sizes were good and the food was nice, but not amazing, and the beef dish we had was bad. They very gladly gave use a refund for it when we complained about it, to their credit. Perhaps they have now improved their beef. I would go there again and probably not have anything with beef. My partner liked the restaurant and loved chatting to the waiter, but also noticed that the food was not as good as some other restaurants.

My boyfriend and I were so disappointed that I had chosen this restaurant. The food was truly unbelievable - it honestly seemed like they had thrown some instant sachets together with no-name brand basic ingredients such as tomato puree and not even bothered to cook them long enough to let the flavour come out. The food had hardly any flavour and was obviously made of low quality ingredients and had not even been warmed up. I honestly could not believe it and my boyfriend was totally unimpressed. The service was courteous and friendly but they didn't go to much effort. Maybe they were nervous. After eating here I became much more careful to choose restaurants which got crowded sometimes even though I hate crowds and I hate to have to book ahead, because at least they were popular and the food should be good.

This review is for Korea Restaurant, Goodwood SA

The food was nice but not absolutely great - it was all pretty simple. The waiters seemed keen to please although it took a little long for the food to get to us considering that it was only chopped and not cooked! That would have been because it was so busy. There is a very lively happy atmosphere there. Some dishes seem downright cheap, but I suppose they should be considering that they don't have to cook the main course and there is nothing complicated to prepare. I want to go back again.

This review is for Manee Siam, Goodwood SA

We ate there for the first time after remembering to book - it often books out. The atmosphere is great, because of the layout of the building. The staff are friendly and courteous, but the waiter was a little less formal than she might have been and did not go out of her way to make us comfortable. The food was tasty and the portion sized were good, and I've tried some Thai restaurants in Adelaide that I was really not impressed with at all. It was cheaper than would be expected in the CBD.

Approximate cost: $16

This review is for Rundle Spices, Adelaide SA

I have eaten a few times at this restaurant despite usually liking to try a new place. The waiters have been very courteous and eager to help even if they are sometimes a little inexperienced. The food has always been rather tasty, and I am quite fussy about this. It is much better than most Asian restaurants I personally have tried in Adelaide. It is not expensive and worth the extra couple of dollars over the cheapest Asian restaurant in town.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Ying Chow Chinese Restaurant, Adelaide SA

The service is courteous and not too slow, but the restaurant is a little crowded. The food was good, tasty, but not the best I've ever had. Don't buy the desserts - they are much worse than the other food. You always have to book here because the place gets crowded, perhaps because it is relatively cheap and many people love the food. That also means the service is a little off-hand rather than great.
