; 125 Gouger St; mains $14-29;
noon-2.30pm Tue-Fri, 5.30-9pm Tue-Sun; )
Taking on Jasmin for bragging rights as
Adelaide's best Indian restaurant, the Village (all smooth service, nice knives and
balloon-like wine glasses) offers some unusual subcontinental offerings. Try the Kash-
miri Goat Yakhni (simmered in yoghurt, aniseed and cardamon) or Moreton Bay Bug
masala. Busy Gouger St location.
Evergreen
CHINESE $
( 08-8212 1686; 31 Moonta St; yum cha $5-19; 11am-3pm Mon-Sat, 5pm-late Mon-Sun; )
A few steps away from the Gouger St fray, Chinatown's Evergreen has rapidly earned a
rep for great yum cha. There are a staggering 182 items on the menu (everything from
eggplant hotpot to stir-fried ginger scallops), plus a passable wine list and paper table-
cloths so you can get messy.
Jerusalem Sheshkabab House
MIDDLE EASTERN $
( 08-8212 6185; 131 Hindley St; mains $10-15; 11.30am-2.30pm & 5.30-10pm Tue-Sat,
4-10pm Sun; )
A skinny Hindley St room that's been here forever, serving magnificent
Middle Eastern and Lebanese delights: falafels, hummus, tabouleh, tahini and (of course)
sheshkababs. The plastic furniture and draped tent material are appropriately tacky.
Ying Chow
CHINESE $$$
(114 Gouger St; mains $11-17; noon-2.45pm Fri, 5pm-12.45am daily)
This fluoro-lit, bossy-
staffed eatery is a culinary gem, serving cuisine styled from the Guangzhou region, such
as 'BBC' (bean curd, broad beans and Chinese chutney) and steamed duck with salty
sauce. It gets packed − with queues out the door (no bookings) − but it's worth the wait.

In a lovely old red-brick East End shop-
front, our new favourite Adelaide cafe keeps sketchy opening hours - but don't let that
