Started with KALEKABAB - Smoked Eggplant, Walnut, Pomegranate Paste and Touch of Garlic Served with Bread. Meh. Didn't finish it.

Mains went BAGHALI POLO BA MAHICHE - Slow Cooked Lamb Shank Served with Broad Bean, Dill, Rice and Persian Saffron
and Lamb Broth Mixed with Persian Saffron and Lemon. Shank fell off the bone, pity it was only one shank and small, too much rice but the lamb broth and lemon on the rice was excellent. At $36 it wasn't value and I left half the rice.

Didn't have dessert, wanted to get to Subway for a 6"* ASAP.

Not my cup of tea at all. Everything was mushy and had either eggplant or pomegranate in it.

Food - 5/10
Service - 8/10 only highlight

Do not recommend.


We live 5 minutes walk from it
We had a look at the menu and went :-O
Same thing: eggplant and pomegranate

IMO the Normanville Bakery is the hidden gem on the Fleurieu.

Yep, they got a massive leg up years ago and have been living off the hype since.

Cheers, I'll check it out when I'm in the vicinity, I almost forgot that I stopped in at the Yank Bakery a few weeks ago, that was a well presented shop that delivered an 8.

Yank and Truro are my top 2.
Both get bonus points as they do good coffee too

Will say the Yank changed the vanilla slice and its not as good.
However as I'm playing golf up there in a couple of weeks will grab a pie and vanilla slice.
And a pasty plate for dinner the night after.

Is it in the old fasta pasta premise?

Must be new. Nearby on Kensi Road at Erindale is a newish noodle bar that does a lot of offal noodle combos, both cold and hot.


The Persian Restaurant is in Fasta Pasta
The Chinese is in the old pizza bar

There's also a new lolly shop at the other (Glynburn Rd) end
I found that incredible until Mrs Jimmy said its a front for illegal smokes and vapes :shock:

I still cant get over how many "massage" places have popped up around the area
Old Bracegirdles site on Greenhill Rd
Portrush Rd next to Saigon Vietnamese Rolls
Cnr Tusmore Ave & Greenhill Rd (I reckon this is open 24/7)
Erindale
Must be all the outlanders visiting our restaurants ;)

Then I looked around Kent Town / Norwood :shock:

I thought this was an interesting one - nothing to hide here

For bakeries, my local go to is Wattle Park … a tad out of the way but worth it.

For mine, Yankalilla Bakery > Normanville. Pt Elliot is good, but only if you don’t have to line up down the street.
