This used to be our favourite restaurant, however, the last couple of times we've been the standard hasn't been as high as usual. The steak is always awesome. There's usually something new and exciting on the specials. The setting and views are very nice. It's definitely a reserve for special occasions.

Approximate cost: $35

This was highly recommended to us as a friend's favourite Indian restaurant. Unfortunately our taste buds were working and all you could taste was salt. There are so many Indian restaurants around so it surprises me that poor ones like this stay in business.

Awesome, awesome spot. Friday nights are a really cool experience, the live music is never dissapointing. Drinks and food are slightly over priced, but you can forgive that for the novelty and uniqueness of your experience. Unfortunately it got very popular quite quickly so it's sometimes a struggle to get a table.

Really good pub food. The bar and restaurant are really nice. Nothing to complain about. It's not really marketed towards family dining, never had a dissapointing meal here and there's a good selection of beers.

I was very unimpressed with Shankers. The food was pretty average and my dish was so spicy it was actually inedible. Friends have insisted they've had good food here so I may give it another go, but I won't be in a rush.

There are quite a few Indian restaurants on O'Connell Street, unfortunately we tried Aura first. The food is sensational. The dining area is really nice. The waiting service are a little annoying, they persistently try a push extras on you. The prices are definitely at the top end of Indian dining, but fortunately so is the food. The highlight was the Chicken Tikka Masala accompanied by chilli cheese naan.

Approximate cost: $25

I do like going to pubs where you can go up and pay separately, so there's no time wasted splitting the bill and working out what everyone owes. We went for the a-la-carte option. The prices are slightly inflated, but the beer garden's excellent. Unfortunately there's no space inside if the weather goes bad. The food was good, but I'm not sure whether it was worth the prices charged. Give it a go.

Well my meal was enjoyable, good solid pub food, in a nice setting. Unfortunately my wife ordered the butter chicken, that came out partially frozen. I was really disappointed going out to eat and being given a frozen meal. The waiting staff were embarrassed and apologetic but it's the sort of thing that you don't get over. Sorry, I won't be back.

Approximate cost: $15

The food was sensational, the steak was probably one of, if not the best, I've had in Adelaide. The decor is novel, the dining furniture verge on retro and cheap, but it's pleasant enough. Unfortunately we got a really poor waitress, she seemed to look down on us and made us a bit uncomfortable. However, it's mainly about the food, so give it a go.

Approximate cost: $25

If you want the best Indian food available in Adelaide then you can not go past Indian Temptations. The prices are really reasonable. The variety of the menu means you will get hooked on one item then have the urge to try something new there's nothing that's going to disappoint you. Give the Lamb Spinach with Pilau Rice a go.

Approximate cost: $12
