Lawash Bakery, located on South Road in West Adelaide may not look much. It’s primarily a bakery that also serves kebabs. But the kebabs here are smoky, spiced with turmeric, garlic and chilli, and cooked to order. They pair nicely with the bakery’s flatbreads.

Parwana on Henley Beach Road isn’t the type of restaurant that will catch your eye as you drive past it. The façade is unassuming, and the signage on the glass isn’t easy to read. Once you enter the restaurant, though, you’d find the place homey and welcoming. The food served is authentic Afghan, from the signature Kabuli Palaw to grilled meats and vegetable side dishes, to fried and steamed dumplings. The servings are big enough for sharing.

Pondok Bali aims to bring a taste of Balinese to Adelaide. The bright and colourful décor evokes images of huts on a beach; “pondok” is Indonesian for “hut.” The food is superb – generously spiced, tasty, and uncomplicated, as what you’d expect from beach food served in Bali. You’ll find Pondok Bali at Pulteney Street.
