my first experience with a professional to shape my eyebrows. Rani uses threading to shape and clean hair from all areas of the face and even underarms. There was a little fleeting pain but Rani is soothing and gently lets you know where you should place your hand to keep some areas taught.
Despite the amount of work she did, she still only charged me $15.
I am definitely going to consider some of the other services next time. Lips I think.
Rani also does nails and indian massages. Truely a one stop relaxation and beauty spa at reasonable prices

saw the pizza espanola on the take away menu and thought must try. although the take away site says you can pay by amex, you cant in store. if you split the bill, you must all pay using same method, eg everyone using cash or everyone using card.
not a very large venue, seats about 20 people give or take.
wood oven pizza and pizza chef can be seen at all times. not a large desert menu.
I ordered a serve of garlic bread which was a 9 inch pizza base topped with herb/garlic cheese. light and tasty.
good selection of gourmet pizzas but the espanola stood out for me. The roast pumpkin, feta and fresh tomato, balanced the heat of the fresh not over cooked, so it was soft and tender, chorizo. yes there is cheese on this pizza and its topped with fresh uncooked basil leaves.
The staff are very friendly indeed and the person I believe owns the place, Alain, is not only friendly and accommodating with small requests especially for young children, he commands quiet authority and runs everything like clock work. Very organised and efficient.
My friend had the chicken out burger which he said was tasty but I liked the look of the 800 degree buger, so we will certainly be going back again.
pizza sizes 9 inch and 14 inch. approx $22 for gourmet 14 inch which is about the price of 9 inch + garlic bread.
If you are a big fan of nutella, they do a nutella desert pizza

every year I look for angel ornaments to give as gifts on a strict budget. I need about 30 every year. Surfed the net, about 30 websites around the world and visited ebay regularly for months before coming across Koch and Co. Found ceramic angels that seemed too good to be true for the price. Rang them and confirmed, ordered Monday night and were delivered the following Monday. Not only were the Angels as pictured, only 1 out of 45 broke in transit. The value was far better than expected, the service is excellent and you don't have to be a business to shop here. Postage was very reasonable for the size of the package. They also offer pick up service and I suspect you can visit them.
Draw back, minimum order is $50 pre gst and postage. I didnt mind considering for the same cost I would have gotten 30 items of the next best item via ebay from China. I bought from an Aussie business, got value, am stress free Christmas gift wise and have a few spare for next year. Thank You Koch and Co. You made my Christmas and I will definitely be back for that hard to find item in future.

I ordered the cheapest main, $18 - the VB Burger - chicken and my brother ordered the angus beef version. We were not disappointed. Flavour Flavour Flavour. It comes with a serve of chips on the side in a small wire basket and a tomato relish dipping sauce. The bacon in the burger is advertised as Barossa and it could very well be because it was magnificent. They serve their coffees with a small home made shortbread. Big brother gave me his while I had strawberry and mango gelati. These versions are sorbet which I prefer. These strawberry and mango sorbets or memorable in a good way. Will definitely visit again. One of my friends recommends having breakfast there.

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for T-Chow Chinese Restaurant, Adelaide SA

group of of us went there after fund raising event. Sat outside which was perfect. Some of us shared meals so I got to try the softest most delicate sweet and sour pork, you could taste capsicum with the onions, E-shan chicken which was soft, flavoursome, difficult to describe the delicate flavour other than you cant tell there is chili in there until it starts to cool down, the lemon chicken wasn't bad but the sizzling bbq beef with ginger, garlic and shallots was the piece de resistance. Two others on our table ordered the satay chicken which was a plate full of stir fried chicken with bean sprouts in a loose satay sauce. Two people ordered the vegetarian dumplings, add bottle of rose, lemon lime and bitters, bottle of coopers, sparkling water and maybe 3 other drinks on our table + steamed rice to share, $170 total.

came here for sunday lunch and ordered the cromelette, part crepe part omelette and was in heaven
Of course, once here you must order desert. Yes they do gluten free and egg free. The waffles are to die for and so is the home made peach ice tea. Place is busy most opening times and now has a liquor licence.
Staff are friendly and helpful and it quickly becomes apparent they have a following
definitely a place for treating yourself. not the cheapest place but not the most expensive

This review is for Lemongrass, Goodwood SA

verified email - 19 Oct 2014

I have been here a few times and surprised I hadn't reviewed it before. Sister restaurant of Lemongrass, Rundle Street.
Service can be slow at times but man, the food is excellent value as well as quality
I love their chicken and prawn spring rolls, their crispy prawns are a good sizing, the sauces are not jar/bottle and I thoroughly recommend the mango and coconut sauce with crispy noodles to accompany chicken. The sizzling cashew steak is very tender I'm told. Last night I only had an entree as a main, the chicken and prawn salad. That was enough. Large serving for entree size and the yummiest, healthiest salad I've had in a little while. Friends ordered the coconut rice instead of steamed. No one is ever ordering steamed rice again

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Saray, Torrensville SA

on the first visit we ordered 3 sweets and 3 turkish teas totalling $14.50.
Second visit 1 large yiros pizza, 2 pide, 1 shish kebab, 5 deserts, 2 turkish teas, 2 turkish coffees which come with turkish delight $69
Friendly staff, small and quaint family business, most of the sweets are home made as in a family member made them, I love the ravani and my friends enjoy the baklava, greek names for 2 of the sweets
Recommend this place to anyone and everyone especially if the prices stay stable
Pides are less than $7 and most expensive dish is about $22 but most average $15.50 and excellent value

This review is for Birkett Watches and Jewellry, Adelaide SA

verified email - 19 Oct 2014

I have been coming here for years to replace batteries and watch bands. Since Jeff Brown sold his business anyway.
Closed on Fridays so that he can run business errands and there is no eftpos/card facilities.
Knows his watches and studied with the guy that bought Brown's. Location is the key.
Only repairs and services watches.
Batteries $15 Watch service, recommended for that precious piece, more than $70 but worth it
