Lovely food here with a great variety of choice. I love the decor too. Food is fresh and tasty and average price for Indian. Great portions. Good service from staff and you can get a locals loyalty card.

Food was fine, but have had better Indian meals in the past, I feel it is overpriced for quality of food. Went on shop a docket, but didn't realise the very very small print said takeaway only. The staff also said most people didn't see this either. However the staff were lovely and attentive, my hubby loved the veggie dishes, dessert on buffet was not great.

Love the Alex Surf Club, meals a tad expensive, but great quality and they are large meals, you are definitely not hungry. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Views are awesome too!

My husband and I had a wonderful evening here, the food was very tasty and fresh, we BYO'd a lovely bottle of wine and were bought an ice bucket and a bottle of water with two cold glasses. The views from the back verandah are superb. The food was beautiful we had entree's each, I had exceptionally tasty vegetarian spring rolls; my husband had lovely very large serving of silky deep fried tofu. I had seafood red curry and my husband had garlic, ginger and tofu sizzling vegetables. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, I had to take half of my meal home as it was a large serving. Service was very friendly, professional and quick. It was busy. We will definitely be returning as we had a lovely meal.

This review is for Siam Thai Restaurant, Mooloolaba QLD

Nice food, great food presentation, good serving sizes and lovely ambience. It took a while for the food to be served, however they were busy. The pool feature was really peaceful and the decor was lovely. I had Seafood Thai Red Curry and my husband had a vegetarian dish, the menu was great with a lot of choice. I now prefer another cheaper restaurant that I think has nicer food but this restaurant is lovely and in a great location with friendly service.

This review is for Melinda's Thai & Asian Take-away, Warana QLD

We dine at Melinda's all the time, the lunch time special is excellent value for money, the food is freshly cooked to order packed full of vegetables and so tasty, I feel the food is very authentic Thai, the staff always have a smile on their faces and it is clean. It is an Asian grocery store with a few tables you can sit at to eat, so I don't expect fine dining, however presentation is good. It is always busy and you need to book for a table. I love this place and highly recommend it.

We found this little gem in Maleny last weekend. The food was fantastic and such huge portions, great value for money! Reasonably priced. We ordered mushroom and dill soup and we had to share it, the menu was great with much choice and caters exceptionally well for vegetarians, the food was tasty and fresh and it arrived quickly from staff who were friendly and who went out of their way to help us with anything. The art work on their walls is...interesting;) They also have live music some nights, which I have heard is excellent. I highly recommend this unique cafe as it is well worth a visit and the food is divine!

These cinemas offer great choice of movies, the seats are very comfortable and the staff are always friendly and helpful. However, almost every time I have been there I have seen popcorn over the floor and the toilets are not very clean missing toilet paper on 3 occasions, I would suggest to the managers just to ensure the workers perhaps clean a little more, apart from this aspect, I have found the cinemas to be very good and if you buy tickets via RACQ you can get fantastic rates and also book online which saves you waiting in the queues.

My husband and I went out as we had thought we had found a wonderful lebanese/arabic restaurant as I had heard decent comments about it, were we mistaken!

My first impressions were looks lovely! We were looking forward to a warm, inviting, hospitable restaurant with lovely tasty food. We had $60 to spend for both of us for dinner, I don't eat much, but I had looked at the menu and thought an assortment of mezze's would be terrific and we were looking forward to our meal. Once I had ordered the waitress(lady with dark hair and glasses and apparently a husband who would not leave the bar if they served alcohol at the restaurant - so she said to the table next to us! Poss owner) stared at us with a condescending look and asked 'is that all you are having?' we looked at each other and I said, 'surely $50 worth of mixed entree dishes and dips would be a worthy order of food that would have us leaving satisfied?' She said 'No, it won't be enough, you need a main as well!' so we let her order for us......can you believe it! The mixed mezze entree came out with pickled vegetables from a jar, 2 frozen falafel and a pair of tasty vine leaves with two tiny, very very tiny, dips that would not serve much and a very sad lettuce leaf! she left our dirty plates and cutlery and then when I asked for a clean plate, napkin and cutlery looked at me hard for a full 5 seconds, before saying '...No...You MUST use your soiled starter plates!' I couldn't believe how rude this person, who I think was an owner, was! Indignant, rude and very inflexible, we asked if we could swap the falafel on the main with vine leaves and pay the difference, she said under no circumstances is this possible 'as the vine leaves were hand rolled...' however the falafels were frozen! Perhaps they underestimate the importance of the starters dishes! Unusual for Arabic food! The main came out and there was limp, burnt cauliflower, limp lettuce and tabouli and another pile of dry falafels.....I could not be more disappointed, normally arabic food is tasty, fresh and fantastic and presented from the heart, although some of the tastes were good.

Overall I found there to be no value for money in the food, it was served in very small quantities, we left hungry, and it cost us $50, the service of the lady serving us who I thought was the owner was the rudest I have ever encountered, and we have backpacked and dined all over the world and have always enjoyed ourselves, but this is not what we experienced here. I do believe to have a good feed for two of you, you should expect to pay at least $80-90 if dining here.

I would recommend another Lebanese Restaurant open and serve the amazing cuisine that comes from this region, and I think you would be very successful! I think these owners should close down or perhaps increase the dismal small quantities they serve for too much money and maybe get more friendly accommodating staff and they may do better! by the way there were only two tables of people in the restaurant when we arrived so were not busy!

Approximate cost: $90.00
