This is my most visited restaurant and I don't normally like Indian food. I am one of those fussy people who has to search through the menu to find Ianidan food without all the creamy sauce. This is the best indian restaurant I have been to and they have constant specials, like buy one meal, get the other free. The food is good and lots of it. The ambience is lovely. Nicely decorated and set out. The service is extremely friendly. I go at least once a month with a friend and well all enjoy it. it is one of those places you trust. I highly recommend a visit and if you want icecream to cool the pallette it is simple and lots of it.

Approximate cost: $15-20

This review is for My Size, Oaklands Park SA

I thank God for My Size. If you are on the plus size, don't go anywhere else. Its a bit pricey, but clothes are stylish and well made and they understand that not all largish women want to wear a tent. Service is friendly and they understand you. I highly recommend it - and ladies try on things you wouldn't normally wear. You may be surprised at how good it looks

Approximate cost: $115 for a dress

This review is for Just Tickled Pink, Hyde Park SA

I keep going to this place and I keep raving about it. It is definitely for the girls. Men might feel a bit strange here. It is pink, flowery, pretty, lacy. Food is exceptional. Always great care taken with quality and presentation. The cupcakes are to die for. Every woman should go one time in her life. I take a new friend there quite often so they can enjoy the experience. It is just delightful and you are treated like royalty. I love it

This review is for Thai Orchid Restaurant, Henley Beach SA

Its all about the food. It is crowded and noisy so you know the food is good or people wouldn't go. Service a bit slow - you have to hail the waiter, but they were full. Best Thai food I have ever eaten. Magnificent. Great menu. I highly recommend it to everyone. You must book or you won't get in.

Approximate cost: $20

I went with a group of friends on a saturday night. Service was quick but not friendly. Waitress was quite down in the mouth. Food was very average. This pub had an excellent reputation, but I wouldn't bother going anymore

This review is for Rivabella Ristorante North Haven, North Haven SA

Service was extremely slow. Good menu. Some diners complained their food was luke warm and one complained lamb was over cooked. My meal was excellent. The ambience and the location compensates for this. I recommend it as a delightful venue to go to. I think this was just an off night for the kitchen - no excuse I know but I still think you should give it a try. It is beautiful there.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for A Happy Garden, O'Halloran Hill SA

Clean up of garden. Weeding, raking, lawns etc. I have a large area of the back garden which I asked Anthea to weed for me. It was covered in weeds some of them knee high. In two hours Anthea cleared the whole area with not a weed left. She is friendly, efficient and honest. I have had this type of clean up performed several years ago by a gardener who took all day and charged $100. I am thrilled and recommend her to anyone who wants a tidy, weed free garden, low cost, no hassles. Also you can ask her to do anything, such as painting and she will do it for you. Do yourself a favour and call her. you won't be sorry.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Carpe Diem The Art Of Living, Port Adelaide SA

This is a great gift shop with extras. If you are looking for a gift for a special friend, or something for your home, this is new and fresh. Soft furnishings, jewellery, feng shui products, crystals, linen, ornamental objects. You can also book for a healing session, past life workshops, lecturers on tarot and healing, chanelling course, dream workshop with Erika. Great feel. Went mad, bought heaps and met Remi and Erika. Take a drive - you'll love it

This review is for Spotlight, Edwardstown SA

I always shop at spotlight and come across many service staff - some good and some have quite frankly been grumpy. I recently had a purchasing experience when I needed some advice on material type and quantity and was dreading having to ask. The woman who served me is the best I have had at spotlight. She was helpful and friendly, gave good advice and was genuinely a happy person. She is a middle aged lady and I thank her for brightening my day

This review is for Olivers Pets & Plants, Glengowrie SA

verified email - 28 Jul 2010

I have been using Olivers for a number of years for pet supplies and gardening supplies when they were at Warradale and now they have moved to Glengowrie. I recently made an enquiry about keeping chickens for eggs and as family pets but new nothing about what I needed and all things related to keeping chooks. The two young people serving went out of their way to be most helpful and even allowed me to view their computer to check out some information. I now feel confident to know what chooks to get, what to feed them, the type of coop I need and was provided with pamphlets relating to breeds, diseases, food etc. I was really grateful for their kind service
