"Fabulous fusion of Syrian and Aussie food. Three of us had the Syrian Aussie Big Breakfast served in a shared banquet style. It was all amazing. Coffee was great too. The family that runs the cafe are friendly and they make everything themselves. I encourage you to give this place a try. The current owners took over in June 2025, so if you've not been here for a while then I recommend another visit."

"We were visiting family from Melbourne and popped in for breakfast. The Syrian-Aussie breakfast was outstanding, with the fresh carrot and orange juice it was the best breakfast I have had in years, we will definitely be making this a regular event whenever we visit Adelaide."
