This review is for The Curtain Company, Seacombe Gardens SA

verified email - 29 May 2012

Quality of curtains from this company is second to none - we asked them to put new curtains in one room in our house soon after we moved in and were delighted with the quality and look of the curtains - beautiful workmanship and excellent installation.
We liked the job they did so much that we ended up asking them to replace the curtains throughout our whole house! Each time we have dealt with this company their service has been exceptional - they have come out to give a free quote, and have given great advice and helped us to choose the right curtain style for each room.
Value for money has been outstanding - for the curtains we wanted at the time, they were far cheaper than Karelea which is just down the road, and their prices included installation.
Thoroughly recommend A+++++

This review is for Simply Sushi, Glenelg SA

An absolutely awesome dining experience.
Have gone here for dinner once and for lunch heaps of times... but I think this is usually more a lunch venue as there is limited seating at tables - the restaurant's main focus is the huge sushi train containing around 100 different items to choose from.
When you arrive, you are given a menu that shows all of the different choices - you then sit down and then watch the little plates of sushi etc go around until you see one that takes your fancy. If you are after something in particular that is not on the train, then you just ask the chefs who are located in the centre of the train always cooking up fresh dishes - the chefs are always cheerful and smiley and happy to whip up whatever you want.
The food is always ultra fresh, perfectly presented and extremely tasty!
It can be a bit costly if you want to eat 3-4 dishes each (usually roughly $4-$7 per plate by memory) and also have some drinks, but definitely worth the trip and I will definitely be going (many times!) again!

Approximate cost: $6

This review is for The Chicken Spot And Pizza Bar, Brighton SA

My favourites are the roast potatoes & their chips are always beautifully cooked.
The one let down is that the chicken is not as well cooked as I would like (a bit pinkish in colour near the bones), so I usually get my chicken from another nearby chicken shop and my chips from the Chicken Spot.
Service is great - really nice family-run business where the staff always give you cheerful, friendly service with a smile.
Value for money is average - Chickens are around $15 and chips are around $3.70 for a small bag, and going up from there with 4 different bag sizes at different costs.
Gravy is nice & salads usually look quite fresh.

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Montezuma's Mexican Restaurant, Glenelg SA

Really enjoy going to this restaurant - tucked away in a side street so they are not always quite as busy as the other restaurants nearby and you can often get a last minute reservation or just show up and get a table.
Extremely good food and very generous servings for the cost, and the staff are great too.
Highly recommend.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Orientai, Hove SA

Yummy food overall and nice service by people who go out of their way to help.
I love the coriander fresh veg, green chicken curry, panang chicken and the spring rolls are always crispy and hot - the dipping sauce is so nice I could drink it!
The only disappointing thing is that they now use canned corn cobs instead of fresh in their stirfries, and their chicken now tastes fake (must be cost cutting).
Despite these things I still like to order takeawy from this restaurant regularly and occasionally dine in so I would still recommend it!

Yummy pizzas with proper kalamata olives, and proper ham.
Very cheesey.
Service is good and usually you dont have to wait too long if you call ahead to order.
Pasta dishes are pretty average and not worth ordering in my opinion - definitely best to visit if you want a good pizza.

This review is for Sunflower Shop, Goodwood SA

verified email - 28 May 2012

I went to this shop for the first time last week as I was driving past and thought I would stop in.
The lady who runs the shop is really nice and seemed happy to negotiate a bit on price.
Books were all $1 each, clothes were $3-$10 ish and some good brands, shoes were average and reasonably priced. The shop was small and a bit pokey but jam packed with things if you have time to look through them.
Worth a visit.

I love this shop - really cheap stuff and at times some good quality items too.
Nice staff who are happy to help you and really nice to speak to - older volunteers.
A good range of clothing, books, knick knacks and shoes.

This review is for City Chic, West Beach SA

A good range of clothes here, with some good discounts to be had at times.
Some clothes don't have much of a discount though - if you are after a true bargain then you need to come often and have a really good look around.
The staff are friendly and helpful and glad to offer assistance and help you find certain items if you are after something in particular.
The store is clean and well laid out so things are usually fairly easy to find.
Full priced clothes are really expensive as this is considered a 'plus sized designer range', which is why it's worth coming to this store on occasion to try to get a good bargain.

This review is for Salvos, Brighton SA

verified email - 28 May 2012

Some great bargains to be had here and the quality of the items in this store is great - a lot of new to newish shoes and clothes.
The books are quite over priced, but that seems usual for Salvos stores as they are all very expensive with books compared to other second hand stores.
The staff are friendly and always call hello and see if they can help you find anything.
I like shopping at this store and usually try to get here once a week to see what new bargains I can find
