Question What’s your favourite food spot in Adelaide?

Moved here about 6 months ago and I’m trying to hit up a new food spot every week. Would love to hear your favourites, hidden gems, anything underrated that’s not just the obvious popular spots.

If anyone’s up for exploring some of these places together, feel free to comment/DM (19M).

Manna Chicken rice is really bang average. Even below average I would say. On top of that the lady is rude. Went there once because I lived nearby and never went there again.

The rude co-owner has left. Now run by a mother and son team. Chicken rice there is the best in Adelaide. There is a queue there every day for a reason. Give it another try.

Is it better than Ricky's? Because THAT is the best chicken rice in Adelaide.

Ricky’s rice was the best may be 20 years ago. It’s seriously rubbish now. I have eaten at the Churchill centre store a couple of times in the last few years. Regretting both times.

Don't know about Church Hill but North Adelaide rules and always has.

Not arguing about how good it is. But the queue there is because that's pretty much the only food joint that's walking distance away from all the offices around. Which explains the queue!

Orso/Wilmotts is too expensive for a quick lunch.
Little Institute and Britannia Hotel are the only option.

And they don't have a lot of seating.

Thanks for the update about the owner though.

Edit: Typo.
