I've only ever been here for coffee on a Sunday afternoon and the coffee is worth a mention but by all accounts they're better known for their Thai Food. I just wish I'd known about their reputation when I went there because I am quite partial to a good serve of Pad Thai. They have a good selection of tables inside as well as a small but really cool outside area that is dog friendly. There's just a few tables here but they face onto the street and it's a great spot to watch the world go by on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I will be going back here very soon for a Thai meal. Can't wait!

When I have visitors this is where I take them! Sabai gives visitors a taste of something familiar yet different. The Thai dinners make my tastebuds jump with enjoyment and already thinking of my next visit! And the Breakfasts served along with the consistently delicious Mahalia coffee make any coffee goer loyal! I'd love to replicate my favourites on the menu but instead I'd rather enjoy the friendly service, intimate atmosphere and presenation I know I can't replicate at home. Treat yourself to a delicious meal at Sabai and make your mouth happy!

I've got fond memories of this little café, and though it's not a place I usually go to, it's a…read moreplace I appreciate every time I return. Espresso Yourself (cute, right?) is hidden away behind the Renaissance Arcade, and is virtually invisible unless you like walking the back alleys. I had one of my first dates here with my girlfriend, where we stayed up all night and had a lazy, very tired breakfast the next morning. The lady operating the shop was incredibly friendly, and took good care of us, delivering our much-needed coffees and food to our table with a warm smile. The hot dog with the lot is unbeatable; by far one of the best hot dogs in town. It's so big and packed with fillings that you have to cut it in half just to be able to eat it. I'm not familiar with the rest of the lunch menu, but take my advice and try the hot dog with lot. Make sure you bring your biggest, meanest appetite too.

I came across this cafe in one of the alleys between North Terrace and Rundle Mall that leads to…read morethe Renaissance Arcade. I was caught by the signs for homemade pies and pasties, so stuck my head in. It looks like a fairly traditional cafe, but what makes it stand out is its range of homemade food, including lasagna, meat balls, as well as lots of fresh rolls. There is also a big range of homemade sweets. It's run by a friendly Italian couple, and the shops fits so perfectly around them. Since it was lunchtime, I decided upon the teriyaki chicken roll, figuring I couldn't go too wrong for $4.50. I was presented with the Italian version of a Vietnamese Roll - freshly cooked teriyaki chicken in a crispy fresh bun with cucumber, shredded carrot, homemade mayonnaise and plenty of coriander. Delicious! And great value for money. Other options are rolls with beef, onion and gravy, or a meatball roll, or steak sandwiches or croissants with lots of different fillings. They do all day breakfast alongside their rolls and hot food, as well as milkshakes, coffee and traditional iced-coffee. I'll definitely be going back there to try out more of that tasty home-cooked food.

The fact that Aberfoyle Park now has a few locations where you can get decent coffee is awesome in its self. For a long time the population of Aberfoyle was large but the services were not. Now there are three locations to get your coffee, Frekkles, spelt with two k's being one of them. Compared to another nearby coffee shop Frekkles is a bit more expensive and offers a little less (except smoothies). The shop front always has people around though and they have a nice little set-up for a store that is positioned right next to a budget bargain shop. I recent;y grabbed a wrap here and it was tasty, but compared to another shop within a minute the filling wasn't as ample and the price was a few dollars more. Add to that the waiting time always seems a bit longer also.

It's a local cafe, quite a comfy spot for catching up as they have a couple of sofas. The cafe is…read more simplistic and clean with a mixture of Western and Vietnamese breakfast and lunch offerings. We come here from time to time for a quick catch up with friends. Service is friendly. The food is okay, it has your selection of cakes and scones along with sandwiches, salads and some Vietnamese options like Asian salad, pho and banh mi. They also do fresh juices. The pricing is okay, I don't think it's particularly cheap for what you are getting but you don't have to break the bank to eat here. A focaccia is about $10.95, if you ordered chicken it's the pre-cut catering pack chicken. I'm pretty sure they also use that on their salads. In all honesty though, for a deep suburb cafe of this quality I do feel I could get better elsewhere for the same price.

Pizza baby!!! I've…read morebeen to those cities that never close down but this is still better than the pizza in Roma town. In my opinion it is better than most of the chains and hey, I was a Pizza Hut kid so I totally know what I'm talking about! I'm here to tell you that you cannot go past the Ham & Mushroom - add some red capsicum to that and you have one happy pizza. The pan sizing is pretty big too, you can get a large, family or party size, and I don't know about you guys but I prefer a generous, fluffy base rather than a thin pan: I want a pizza, not a biscuit, which is exactly what their lovely staff deliver! Dining in isn't a big occasion here, the space isn't really designed for families larger than four so it's lucky that takeaway is an option. The locals tend to refer to this place as 'Aldgate Pizza' rather than 'Aldgate Cafe'. in fact its only recently that I even discovered its true name, so if you are wanting to place and order abut you don't have the number - don't be like me and get into an argument with the person on the other end of the directory line when they tell you that Aldgate Pizza doesn't exist! because it is foremost a cafe, they just happen to make awesome pizza.

Takeaway pizza review:…read more This little nugget of legendary Hills food takeaway joints has eluded me for many years. Until 2015. I had the good fortune of swinging past the Aldgate café on my way home from a friend's place one Sunday evening a few weeks ago when my partner said 'Feel like pizza tonight?' to which I smugly retorted 'Do furry ursidae defecate in wooded areas?' That was a couple of months ago, and I'd forgotten how good the pizzas were. But again this Saturday eve, the question of whether I felt like pizza for tea was raised once again, and once more I answered like a smart alec. So we phoned up the Aldgate café and ordered a medium Mexican and a thai chicken pizza. Simple enough...until it came time to actually finish eating what we'd ordered! These pizzas were dynamite! So filling, and so so SSOOO tasty! I don't normally leave leftovers, but I had no choice. And it was still tasty the next day (feel free to hit me up for my leftover pizza reheating technique - guaranteed flavour country). The range of available styles is great, and the service was quick, for both delivery and in-store ordering. Don't miss this place if you're in or around the hills. It's tucked in amongst a few other shops, so it's easy to shoot past and not catch it, but it is a worthwhile food experience. They also have an affordable and decent range of drinks/wines inhouse.

Over the past three years I have been a regular diner at this family run restaurant…read more Kevin Ponniah and his wife Tanny have been very welcoming every time I visited their restaurant - and it was too many to count! This authentic Thai restaurant has a great casual atmosphere which is enhanced by the friendly team of attentive waiting staff. The menu is well balanced and gives the customer great choices of authentic Thai dishes ranging from wok stir fries, noodle dishes and salads to traditional curries. The entrees I have tried are all exceptional - Pandan Chicken, Spring Rolls, Dim Sims, Thai Fish Cakes and Money Bags. I recommend you try the Pandan Chicken for its amazing flavour of spices. The Money Bags were also a pleasant surprise - especially as these are normally not a favourite of mine. The main dishes I have sampled were absolutely the best in Adelaide! I absolutely loved the Masaman Beef Curry and wish I could find one as good as this in Sydney. I highly recommend that you try this on your next visit. Other dishes to definitely try are the Thai Basil Chicken (Hot), Thai Garlic Prawns and Pud Thai Tu Noodles. In Thais' signature dish is the Moreton Bay Bugs - tails tossed with fresh vegetables in their own special Thai chilli sauce. The sumptuous and delicately flavoured Moreton Bay Bug tails were cooked perfectly and presented in ready to eat bite sized portions. No need for you to get your fingers dirty here. The flesh falls away from the shell easily and is sautéed with all the exotic flavours of the special chilli sauce. This is mixed with various vegetables. My favourite cold main is the Thai Spinach salad - perfect for those hot Adelaide Summer nights. Desserts - I always craved the Banana Fritters with the delicious caramel sauce. Sometimes this was not always available to my disappointment, but if you are able to sample it, do try it for yourself! , the sauce melts Otherwise I always opted for a Caramel Pecan muffin. When lightly heated the sauce oozes nicely over the cake. Yummy! The restaurant also opens for breakfast from 8:30am to11:30am with many breakfast options. I tried the Thai Omelette, which was a great breakfast choice. Newly added choices that I want to try are Smoked Norwegian Salmon, French Brioche Toast or the Pan Fried Duck Eggs. I really miss not being able to pop down to In Thais since moving to Sydney, but I can't wait to come back to your wonderful restaurant when next I am in Adelaide.

What can I say, they're still the same very yummy food that I remember. Oooohhh that creamy pasta is to die for LOL. The seafood pizza is delicious too. A bit salty for my liking but I kinda expect it since it has anchovies. Lol Regarding customer service, it's just ok. The first time we came the staffs on duty were all cheerful and welcoming. On our recent visit customer service was just blah. So it really depends on who's working that time. The only thing I'm not fond of is the price LOL. Like we ordered just one carbonara (good for 2) and small pizza (good for 2 as well)... and 1 coke haha --- and we paid like 40 plus aud. Oh well, sometimes you have to pay the price for a really good meal. 4.5 star

I'd read like, 8000 reviews about this place whilst I was laid up following surgery to fix my…read moreachilles. I tried to ignore it (ETC) - I couldn't get to the city for breakfast, heck, I struggled getting to the bay (2 min away). But the urge wouldn't go away, I was hungry. Finally, this past Tuesday, after a successful visit with my surgeon, and the banishing of my AirCast Moon-boot forever (whisper it quietly) I did it. I went to ETC. To be honest, It really wasn't what I expected, from the cafe's website, I'd pictured something a little more clean cut, a little more yuppie. To say I was pleasantly suprised by the super comfortable quirky cafe (a big red wall, blackboards, wooden furniture) interior is an understatement. I was stoked, I felt at home. The menu is well set out and easy to read, however actually picking what I wanted was the hardest decision of my life. To put it in perspective, deciding to have surgery on my achilles and put my life in the doctors hands took me less than 4 seconds. Choosing my breakfast from ETC - easily 8+ minutes. I eventually settled for the Big Brekky option, even though it's usually the last thing I would get. I just wanted to try as much as I could (there was actually a solid spread of tomatoes, mushies and spinach on it). I attended with my darling sister (who actually disowned me and referred to me as 'a friend' in her review of ETC - OUCH), who ordered the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Our food was delicious. The service was very friendly, the staff always smiling and circulating the room to clear tables and make sure everything was alright. Everything was sweet, a great comfy cafe, delicious food and good staff. Oh and we only had to wait like 10mins for our meals. What could possibly make it better... A Chocolate milkshake - in a traditional chilled milkshake glass - with a sweeeeeeeeeet rolled paper barbershop style straw. It was delicious. For any place to put this much effort into a chocolate milkshake is ludicrous, but it's also a tipping point that ensured I wouldn't forget my brekky at ETC easily. Five eskimo's.

This place far exceeded my expectations. Staff were very friendly & accommodating, and the…read moreatmosphere was relaxed & casual. I sometimes host Meetup.com events & this was a place that for a reservation of 6 people did not ask me for a holding card or fee (because let's face it, you cannot predict if a sudden circumstance means a person or two can't make it, & the venue could easily fill available seats as its a popular spot). The only draw back of the restaurant was it was a little noisy, making it a little hard to hear the more softly spoken of us). I would suggest some sound proofing, even something simple as one of the ladies accompanying me suggested, such as curtains hung from /draped along the ceiling to reduce echo off the ceiling. However it was still cosy & had such a great atmosphere that this would not deter me in future. On to the breakfast/brunch menu... This was filled with all the regular big breakfast items but with gorgeous gourmet twists... Think smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on toast with Beetroot relish, or tomato & ricotta on toast, or poached eggs on warm garlic yoghurt on toast served with sautéed mushrooms. The other big bonus was the fruits & grains menu options, which were trendy, unusual & sumptuous. I had the fresh ricotta & banana with crushed pistachios & walnuts, drizzled with honey. On to the drinks menu... There were the standard drinks, the slightly unusual or more refined options (think masala chai), and finally more unusual options like the fruit tingle smoothie (sounds odd but was amazing, consisting of orange juice, milk, banana, honey & orange sorbet). I would highly recommend this venue.
