Goody's Kitchen

Goody's Kitchen, at Shop 2, 645 Marion Road in Ascot Park, is a halal-certified chicken and seafood takeaway doing steady business in Adelaide's inner south: fish and chips with a well-regarded batter, yiros, schnitzels and a southern fried chicken burger that locals single out most. It is a shopfront on a busy arterial road, so a visit with the dog is a quick footpath stop rather than a sit-down meal.

The dog setup

Dogs are fine on the footpath directly out front, but the outdoor strip is compact and sits beside Marion Road traffic, so it suits a small, settled dog on a short lead rather than anything nervous about buses and foot noise. Indoor seating is for diners. Water bowls are not consistently out, so bring your own.

Worth knowing

The shop opens seven days a week, with a midday session and a later session running into the evening, so both lunch and dinner runs work; check the website for the current split of hours. Portions are large for the price, which reviewers keep mentioning, and the menu leans Australian-Middle Eastern alongside the takeaway classics. Parking out front is limited by the traffic, so it is easier to use a side street off Marion Road, and Ascot Park train station is an easy walk if you would rather arrive on foot with the dog already warmed up.

Close by with the dogs

This is best treated as a pickup stop on the way to a proper walk: Edwardstown Soldiers' Memorial Recreation Ground is a short drive for open space, and It Takes A Village in Edwardstown is a dog-friendly espresso bar that keeps a water bowl out. Back in Ascot Park, Omnivore Cafe on Railway Terrace is known for greeting dogs with biscuits, and Cassandra's on the Park is nearby in St Marys.
