Situated on Tedder Avenue on the corner.
This is a lovely curry restaurant. Where our curries were cooked to perfection. Just right as my youngest son said.
They have a large range of dishes cooked to how much spice and heat you want.
We had the Chicken Tikka and onion bhajees for starters with accompanying popadoms and pickles.
Then for our mains Butter Chicken, Lamb Saagwala and Chicken Korma to share. Add to this Biryani rice and naan bread and the loveliest mango lasse's and we were in heaven.
And we were able to take home our left overs to eat for the next day.
The service was good, very attentive and polite.
Will definitely be going here again, especially as we found out they do take-aways as well.

Approximate cost: $19

Wanted to try out this restaurant for ages as friends had given it good reviews. It set in a lovely location on Tedder Avenue a pleasant cafe experience.
Food was excellent. Quality good.
I had the salt and pepper oysters which came in a tempura batter which were delish.
We ordered quite a few entrees for our table for us all to share. Which were very filling and tasty. They ranged from salt and pepper calamai, Chcken Karaage and flat bread pizza.
I had the Jamaican chicken very tasty but I was told it was Gluten free but the next day I suffered from the symptoms I get when I have eaten some gluten, so wasn't very happy about that.
Others had the rib fillet steaks which I must say were cooked perfectly for all and the Barramundi went down will too. Although my husband had the lamb curry which he said was disappointing as it tasted of lamb stew and very little curry.
Apart from this I have to admit that the service could have been better. We all thought that the waiter was on something as he was a little hype-active and quite full on. Which was a little off putting and we had to constantly ask the waitress for more drinks and water top ups for the table.
All in all the food was good not excellent and very expensive. I was a little disappointed as I expected better.
Don't think we will be going there again anytime soon.

Approximate cost: $25+

Had a eyebrow waxed and a facial. Which cost around $60.
The young lady was polite, friendly and very professional.
Had eyebrows done first then had a mini facial which lasted about 30-40 minutes. Very relaxing. My skin was soft and radiant for days after. Felt a hundred and ten percent better after my facial.

Approximate cost: $60

Visited here at lunch time and was seated right on the waterfront over looking all the luxury yachts. Absolutely beautiful setting.
We both had the grass fed sirloin costing $45, which was cooked to perfection. I had a side of the baby beetroot with walnuts and goats cheese and my hubby had their onion rings, which he said were the best he's ever tasted.
They also do steaks that are brought to your table on hot stones so they stay hot.
They also do daily specials which are much more affordable.
It is a bit expensive and we couldn't afford to go there every week but it was a lovely treat to eat there.
Service was good. Staff very attentive. We never ran out of water. But there was only a few groups of people in there so they had the time to give us attention.
Starters there start from around $24 and mains from $36.
We definitely go there again.

Approximate cost: $50

The food here is always of the best quality. Freshly prepared and consistently good.
We go here at least once a month. I order over the phone before I leave work and its ready to pick within 15 minutes.
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Its a well run establishment.
Their fish is well presented, fresh and there's always a good range and specials to choose from.
Depending on your choice of fish it can cost anywhere from $10 to $20. Can be a bit expensive but their specials usually start at $8.

Approximate cost: $10-$20

This review is for Underwater World, Mooloolaba QLD

Wanted to go here for quite a while. So on a trip to Caloundra we decided to stop off and pay it a visit.
We were all a little disappointed. The place looks as if it could do with a big injection of money.
The actual aquariums are really interesting and the underwater walk through was brilliant. (Had to go around twice as the kids loved it so much).
We all enjoyed the seal lion show. Wonderful seeing all these creatures and they all looked well looked after too.
Staff friendly and helpful. Really chatty and informative.
The kids enjoyed the touch pool. I touched the sea cucumber and won't be doing that again. Urgh!
Great site shop too. Plenty to see and purchase.
We went mid week and still it was pretty busy with lots of families. So lovely to see the kids reactions to everything.
It cost us adults $35 to enter. Which at first I thought was quite steep but seeing all the work that needs to look after these creatures its wearable.
It just needs some money spent on the place so it can keep up with the modern world idea of entertainment.

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for Caloundra Surf Club, Caloundra QLD

Had dinner here with the family. Typical surf club but with really good quality food.
If you go try and book as they get really busy here most nights of the week.
Its lovely eating your meal overlooking the pacific ocean.
I had the pork belly (gluten free of course) and it was cooked to perfection. The meat just fell apart, very more'ish. My daughter in law had this too. All the men went for the steaks. Everything comes with vegetables.
Starters start from around $5 for breads up to $15 for oysters or prawns. Mains from $15 to $28.50. And there's a range of desserts too.
But go early as they seem to run out of specials quickly.
Great to take the whole family. Kids very welcome. Staff are friendly and helpful.
The only downside to our evening was that because the place was so busy we had to wait a while for our meals and my son's mushroom sauce could have been better. But hey, we had a lovely evening and we will definitely go there again when we visit Caloundra.

Approximate cost: $21.95-$28.50

This review is for Resch Electronic Repairs, Molendinar QLD

They repaired a faulty vacuum cleaner of ours. Which needed a repair to the control PCB.
We were delighted with the quality of the work and the fast turn around.
Very helpful staff and we will be happy to use them again in the future.
Although it did cost us a $100 it did get a very expensive vacuum cleaner working again.

Approximate cost: $100.00

This review is for Cuccina Pizza, Varsity Lakes QLD

Went here for a work colleague's leaving do. luckily they have some Gluten free meals so I was able to have the vegetarian pizza which was delicious. Although, I was only able to have a regular size pizza as they only do Gluten free in that size and had to pay an extra $3 for the privilege. Apart from that there wasn't much choice for me but everyone else's meals looked wonderful.
They expressly enjoyed the Veal Scallopini and the spice and fire pizza.
Meals where quite filling and they have a nice range of starters and entrees starting from $9 - $12 +.
On the dessert front I especially enjoyed the homemade ice cream.
Could not fault the service. Very quick and attentive. The manager actually came over to personally ask me if everything was alright with my pizza as she knew I ordered a gluten free one.
Although the cafe is fully licensed we bought our own wine.
Impressed with their range of dishes which are cooked fresh on the premise.
Would I go again? Probably yes, but I do wish that they had more of a gluten free range.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Quality Sleep, Labrador QLD

We had to buy a mattress for our spare bedroom as guests were coming to stay and the old mattress was past its best. Rang quite a few places and the delivery charges were astronomical.
Found Quality Sleep on line and we couldn't have be happier with the service and the price.
The lady on the phone was excellent. We told her what we wanted and she informed us that the mattress we wanted was on sale and that delivery was half what we were quoted from other stores.
Fast and efficient service. Excellent quality all round.
The deliver guys came when the said they would and were quite happy to carry the mattress upstairs to the bedroom.
They have a decent website also which was easy to navigate
Will definitely use them again. And our guests were happy with the comfort of the mattress too.

Approximate cost: $230
