The food here is very different to most places. We selected dishes that we had not eaten anywhere else. So Good! The wine list is limited but that's OK as the focus is on food. Try the cauliflower dip and chorizo with Apple. The pea and mint said is great. they also have craft beers available. The service was excellent, lots of smiles and friendly staff. Then we get the bill. It was so inexpensive, i can't wait to go back

Beautiful food with something for everyone. There were 10 of us for dinner and a few people with special dietary requirements. Nothing was too hard for the service staff or the chef in accommodating everyone's requests. All of my dinner guests were from interstate and went away with a very positive outlook and raving as to how good the food scene is in Adelaide.

This a favourite restaurant for our entire family, who recently relocated to the city. Adelaide city's gain is Unley's loss, so go and see Mark and the team at their new location. The concept of shared plates remains with some exciting new plates added - thoroughly recommend the duck curry and the pork dish. Amazing food and great service, now open for breakfast from 8.00am Monday to Friday, there are now, even more, reasons for me to call into Faraja.

If you don't visit Faraja then you are surely missing out on, what I would consider, some of the best food in Adelaide. The new location at Carrington Street is beautiful with both indoor and outdoor seating but the menu is the star and it didn't disappoint. The standout was the Nam Jin Chicken, delicious and it took us right back to our time spent in Vietnam. Service was impeccable and the timing on the delivery of the tasting plates to the table was spot on. The only negative was the Mojito just didn't cut it.

Cute frontage/bar serving teas, coffee, cocktails, wines, beers. Friendly staff. Seriously delicious food (all courses however we didn't have dessert so cannot comment on dessert). We are looking forward to returning.

Excellent service, delicious food (incredible dessert tasting plate) and reasonable price. Not too noisy, so it is a good venue to share a meal with friends.

Went for a quick dinner. Shared dukka and panfried haloumi then nam jim spicy chicken (excellent) duck cassoulet (bit bland) and braised pork belly (nice). Atmosphere - good. Waiters' attire was a bit casual - one in a tracky jacket and the other in a leather jacket. When they move to the city, they should become a little more serious.

Great food and experience, we had the "just feed us" pots and plates which is a great range of flavours. Even the house chutney was great that we had to buy a jar to take home.

The food was good but service was probably worst I have experienced in a long time. The young guy that served us was disinterested and very poor. He served our food with no plates then when he did get the plates he slapped down the plates with the knife and fork on it...not nice. The rest of the staff where great but this guy shouldn't be there if he doesn't want to be.

Service when we arrived was a little slow at first but I guess we arrived when it was busiest. Room was rather noisy (all hard floors and walls) but quietened down as diners left. Food was very good and we weren't kept waiting too long. Interesting and varied wine list with lots of choices for 'by the glass'.

Disappointing service - felt ignored with disinterested staff: we were pointed to our table from the bar "over there"; we were not attended to with menus etc for quite some time; once we had our menus we had to wait again to order both drinks & food; each dish came out separately finishing with ordered salad (?); after final dish, all serving dishes taken away but left with plates to wait again; no offer for dessert menu; tried to get waitress attention without much response; eventually stood up to pay bill after waiting 20mins for further service - no inquiry as to opinion of meal. We have been to Faraja's multiple times before with much better service, & honestly, much better food (lacking in flavour last night). Sadly, we will think again before coming back.

Lovely food - good sized portions. All 4 of us enjoyed the dining at Faraja. Waiting staff were very good too. Nice coffee . pleasant surroundings. Sorry to hear they are moving to the city- Good wood is convenient and parking is not a problem.
