A taste of Morocco in down town Adelaide…read more Taste of Marrakech in Adelaide Central Market has been delighting our senses for a few years now. I love the shelves laden with jar after jar of freshly preserved lemons. Enticingly richly coloured spices including the all important base for Moroccan cuisine ras el hanout , cook books and Moroccan culinary aids aim to have us recreating the tastes of Marrakech at home. You can also get the low down on how to make authentic tagines or Moroccan mint tea from the wonderfully generous staff. However if like me you are tempted by the ready prepared, you will be in seventh heaven. It is very hard to walk by and not be swayed by the gorgeous earthenware bowls crammed with dips glistening with olive oil, olives, the freshest salads or bite sized kofta. Sit yourself at the candle lit mini bar (seats 4-6) colourfully tiled with what else but Moroccan tiles and enjoy a tasting plate for lunch of an early Friday night dinner. Close your eyes for a second and be transported to a far away land, take a deep breath and smell the spices of a desert country. Remember if you have a too bountiful lemon tree donate them to Taste of Marrakech and they could soon be preserved and adorning this market stall's shelves tantalising all passers by with dreams of exotic North Africa.

They had a small tasting plate, with slices of turkish bread and a number of dips and chili sauce to try. I decided to have a go, considering I didn't have much else to do. It literally blew my mind. Taste of Marrakech has only been in existence since the beginning of this year and it is a welcome addition to the market community. Specializing in Morroccan cuisine, Taste of Marrakech stocks a broad variety of fresh and exotic spices, such as sumac, dry harrissa and rasel hanout which sit elegantly in large tubs and have a great aesthetic appeal and an iccredible aroma. In addition, Taste of Marrakesh has some incredible dips and the aforementioned chili sauce, perhaps the best in the land, as well as prepared meals to be cooked at home.

Now boys and girls, who knew "panacea" means to "cure all"?…read moreThat is the perfect description for the warming, hearty spanish inspired meals served up from a daily changing specials menu and regular pizza and tapas fare here. Sit amongst birds nest lighting, green walls and in uncomfortable plastic chairs while you watch a chaotic open kitchen steam, clang and heat up inside or take a leisurely look down your nose at passers by as you sip your red wine and nibble tapas under big white umbrellas in the summer breeze outside. Crispy BBQ quail, simple warmed olives and baked gnocchi are all you really need to look at but there is a very long menu for those who like to feel they have choice. Note thought that this is one of those places where you need to probably allow sharing plate minimum per person though if you want to be full at the end of the night. Very strong Moroccan, Spanish and meat based flavours engulf most dishes here and you will get rich flavours like goats cheese, marinated herbs and plenty of salt coming through with most dishes - but it is worth it. Service is hilariously attentive - I have had 2 people serving my table all 3 times I have been to date. And waitered service like that is normally a lot more expensive in Adelaide now-days. It really makes you feel special and enhances the experience of "being amongst it" where you are literally next to the open kitchen if you are in the main area. If you don't fancy flashing the AMEX card then dine here with the suits and ties or stockings and slippers (very few of those) for lunch and dinner from 12-6pm Monday to Thursday for half price pizzas and jugs of sangria - bargain!

I visited here on Friday night for a much needed after work drink with a friend and I was…read morepleasantly surprised. I hadn't been to Panacea in years and was unsure what to expect. Not only did we receive 25% off our bill using the check in feature on the Yelp app, but the red sangria was absolutely delicious. No cheap nasty wine was used and had an authentic Spanish taste. We ordered the pate entree to share and we're impressed at the very generous serving. The flavour was perfect and just enough to keep us going until our later Dinner. The service was good. However when we arrived we were the only ones there. Although friendly, it wasn't above and beyond. It would be good to see how they fare when the restaurant was a little busier. Will definitely return to try the full menu and for more sangria. If you have not already been, now's the time - especially with the current Yelp offer which will make that sangria extra sweet and soul soothing.

I had never eaten there before but knew they were open late. So I took a brilliant chance & ordered the Moroccan lamb. The best food I have ever tasted in my life! My Mother has a swallowing disorder which makes it hard for us to go out especially in the summer when restaurants don't serve soup. Mohamed cooked my mum a wonderful smooth spinach and vegetable soup, she really enjoyed it. So now I am taking 8 of my friends there tomorrow night. The best food and the service is second to none!!

My boyfriend, who always mocks me for my 'Gen Y' attitude for 'everything is the BEST' said that it…read morewas actually the BEST meal he'd ever had. And I would have to agree, it WAS the best meal he'd ever had. I ate most of it (to his dismay) because i made the poor choice of quail, quite forgetting that quail doesn't eat much in life and therefore is too small and fiddly for this lazy girl. Not the fault of the restaurant, it was extremely tasty - it was my fault for ordering quail, even after my partner asked, 'have you eaten quail before?' 'yes' I lied in firm defiance. Well, I got caught out and he lost most of the BEST meal he'd ever had. I had a zucchini dip for entree and it was delicious and the BEST meal ever was a Lentil and chicken Tagine called 'Harissa' with the flat bread IN THE TAGINE! The atmosphere was brilliant, a family owned small restaraunt with the bright colours of morocco and the mid east. I will be going back again and again.

The staff are very friendly and it is probably one of the best value Moroccan feeds I have had in Adelaide (arguably as good as Marrakech Restaurant and around only 60% of the price). As soon as you walk in your senses are tantalised by wafts of incredible smells from the kitchen. The restaurant is covered with cool artefacts that makes it feel welcoming and casual (in a good way). I tried their Harrisa soup which was incredibly tasty with strong flavours of coriander and a subtle spice. It was appetising at just over $10 or so, it was well worth it. There were plenty of chickpeas too which was nice. Next up was a Moroccan potato salad. Served hot in a small dish, the potato salad was well spiced with a serve of flavoured onion. Again, this dish didn't disappoint. Last up was a vegetarian Tagine. There were plenty of veggies and plenty of flavour. It had carrots, peas, capsicum, potato, sweet potato and onion. It tasted really authentic and had a very pleasant aroma. I had this dish with rice this time but next time I definitely want to try their Moroccan bread. All in all, a great evening and at $40 for these three dishes, it is highly affordable! Definitely recommend.

Mainly because they were the only pizza place in the hills we discovered, and had we known we would've packed our own lunch. All we really wanted was a Pizza Hut but there are none in the hills...so here's a big tip for those of you who are cashed up investors...open a franchise and give Jimmies a run for their money. I will be a customer but please do a good job and no slap dash stuff. P.S please respond to my review and let me know when you do ok!! Because boy was it expensive for a wood oven pizza and feeding over 10 hungry kids and a few adults, it's enough to get a bank loan. We didn't find the pizza all that fantastic, I mean kids will eat almost anything but to the discerning adult it wasn't anything to write home about, hence I'm writing here about the negatives. So yes we had takeaway and didn't eat in, it was too toffee for a bunch of ragamuffin kids and weekend scruffy parents to go in, so yeah it's a 'meh, I've experienced better' rating.

I'm pleased to say that the title has been usurped by none other than Adulis Restaurant. Tucked away with an uninspiring facade, Adulis looks like the sort of place you wouldn't expect to be a centre of great cuisine, yet as is often the case, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. For inside, all manner of delights and delicacies are in store. The restaurant offers a selection of Eritrean, Sudanese, and Ethiopian cuisine, although doesn't make any distinction between them on the menu. From the menu I've tried five things, the Kitfo - An Ethiopian staple of raw beef spiced in such a way that it essentially cooks through, is absolutely delicious and probably the best I've ever tasted. The Chicken dishes are wonderfully spiced and not lacking for flavour, and the vegetarian options? Well, let's just say that I as a full fledged meat eater could be tempted to go veggie if all their cuisine was that good. Most food seems to be served on a platter of Ethiopian bread, or Injera. Traditionally this bread is made from teff flour, a tradition kept strong at Adulis. The bread is nice and has a good sourness to it, as well as a tang that only teff flour can provide. The staff are wonderful, and while the owner might not be versed strongly enough in English to describe what food you are getting (The menu however, explains them well), we have had no issue getting across our poor tolerance of chilli. Finally, understand that the serving sizes here are immense. Two mains can easily feed four people to satiety, as we have had two mains amongst three people before and struggled to finish before inevitably admitting defeat. If you are after some of the best cuisine Africa can provide, this is the place to discover it.
