Fantastic range of cheese here. I always buy one I haven't tried before, they allow you to have a taste if you are not sure. They have other accompaniments as well like crackers, pastes, etc. The staff seem to know their cheeses very well.

I have been here a couple of times now and both times the food has be great. The dosas and tahlis are excellent but all the food was good. The service was friendly and attentive, always checking that everything was OK. There were Indian families eating here too so we figured that the food must be good.

Although chiropractors scare me a bit (I hate the whole cracking of the neck thing) Dr Shelly was very gentle. A massage therapist recommended Dr Shelly because she uses the activator method rather than the high velocity thrusts, so I she used the activator and didnt need to crack my neck at all. It was the first time I didnt have a headache in over two weeks. I will be a regular now.

I have been here a few times now and every time has been great. The lunch special is great value - three curries with rice and naan bread and salad of the day. They dont seem to be very busy most times but I dont know why - they deserve to be. Maybe people just dont know about it yet.

Very cozy pleasant deco. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was very good. We all enjoyed our meals except for one who is quite a fussy eater and only likes very plain food with no sauces etc. He had the steak but without the mushroom sauce an accompaniments, it was quite a small serve. The mushroom risotto was excellent. Considering some cafes these days are charging similar prices for mains, this was good value.

Approximate cost: $24-$33

This review is for Natural Therapies At Kooyong, Lockleys SA

I was given a massage voucher for this place and I have been back since. The massage therapists I had are excellent. The massage and stretches they administered really helped my aching neck and headaches. Not to mention how relaxed the massage was. The second time I attended, a traffic jam due to roadworks meant that I was 30 minutes late for my appointment. Although this meant that they only had 30 minutes to administer a remedial massage, they were very accommodating and tried to help me as much as possible in the short amount of time.

Approximate cost: $65/hour

This review is for Palace Nova, Adelaide SA

We attended a movie at the Palace and although the movie was quite good, I think we all would have enjoyed it much more if we could have concentrated on the movie instead of being distracted by how cold the cinema was. we were shivering in our seats and we all had warm jackets on. One person in our group mentioned that he had attended a movie the week before and it was so freezing cold that they complained after the movie. Obviously they didn't act on the complaint. The guy who served us for snacks and drinks was very friendly, and they received our complaint about the cinema temperature very professionally. I would go back but probably only because this cinema has movies that I like, but I hope they have fixed the air-conditioning by then.

We were a group of 6 visiting for lunch. The food was very nice, not the best Indian cuisine that I have eaten but pretty good. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Complementary papadams and dipping sauce came out while we were waiting for our meals. Service could have been a little quicker though, especially considering we were on our lunch hour.

This review is for Earl Of Leicester Hotel, Parkside SA

There were 9 of us eating in the bistro. The service was quite good, the girl behind the bar was very patient and accommodating with our drink order despite our own confusion when ordering. The food was OK. The vegetarian option (pasta) was not very good at all, I guess the vegetarians are often forgotten on pub menus. Those who ordered a schnitzel seemed satisfied but did mention that the chips were cold which spoiled the meal. The roast of the day meat was also cold unfortunately. Maybe their heat lamps in the kitchen were broken? When mint sauce (for the lamb roast) was requested by our table they kindly obliged. The salad bar was reasonable.

Approximate cost: $10-19

This review is for Serves You Right, Unley SA

I have been here many times before, but the last couple of times have been quite disappointing. It was a little busier than usual on this particular day but still, quite slow service and so-so food. We had to wait a long time just to get our coffee. The hollandaise was really just runny butter. It was very noisy too - mainly due to the very noisy cash register which sounded like a very old fashioned teletext machine.
