My disappointment with this place starts with the fact that they're closed on Sundays and on the…read morelast holiday I tried, leaving me to wonder when they think people go to the beach. Oddly this is not that uncommon in Australia, and it was not all that crowded here or anywhere else on the day I dropped in, and I do not get it. It's particularly a problem here as the area is not as flush with options as Brisbane or Gold Coast. Setting that aside, when I finally made it in, it was a small cafeteria-style place, a common mold around these parts. Ostensibly Indian, it has a diverse vegetarian menu (some dairy, but certainly vegan-friendly). The prices were not bad (if confusing) and the curries basic but tasty. I liked the selection, and ended up with a plate of two dissimilar dishes (noodles and paneer and pea curry), plenty of protein, and a full stomach. Palatable, but not great; I might well have taken them up on some of the chili flakes that lay out. Between that, the general lack of service, and the trouble in actually making it in, I've had better experiences elsewhere at places that aren't all vegetarian. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy there's a vegetarian place near the beach, and I may stop in again sometime, but I wasn't impressed on any level.

Tasty but simple vegetarian food in Maroochydore, tucked away in a little shopfront halfway between…read morethe beach and Sunshine Plaza. Most of the food is Indian-influenced -- curries and things -- but not all of it. You can choose combinations of rice with 1, 2, 3, or 4 things from the trays of pre-made foods on the counter, with the price going up accordingly, or you can pay a bit more for something more special, like the veggie-mince lasagna. Quite a few vegan options, with most things being vegan rather than not, and reasonably priced for the area. I choose rice + 2 options (noodles and dahl), and it was a strange but tasty mix. The dahl was super-spicy, and the Asian-influenced noodles were mildly spicy but not too bad. The dahl was kind of generic, something you can tell has been made to feed the masses, and the noodles had a nice Asian flavor but also didn't seem like anything wildly unique or special. They also have a display case of raw vegan treats and things like that. The atmosphere is super-cute. Nice simple decor, cosy space, and the type of Hare Krishna quotes on the wall that keep things intriguing without shoving ideology down your throat, ha! Nice relaxed vibe, and the guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. Wednesdays are vegan nights, which I presume means everything they make is 100% vegan. Definitely check it out if you're in the area and want some healthy vegetarian food for a nice change from all the greasy pub food and fine dining seafood places running all up and down the Sunshine Coast. Quite refreshing that there is a place like this in the area.

Good Thai food This restaurant on the Mooloolaba Esplanade…read morehas a menu that is mainly Thai, but also includes Vietnamese and Japanese dishes. We went with friends and ordered Thai food - which was delicious if a little sweet for our taste.

By the time we left it was packed and had a short wait. Close to authentic but slightly modified for "Australian" taste buds. Does that mean it's not good? No, this place was awesome! We loved our meals. Ordered the pork Laab and chicken green curry. Both were flavourful and aromatic. The spice level was dialled down a little which we didn't mind at all. You can taste the layers of flavours in every bite The lemongrass, galangal, ginger and chilli had excellent balance. If you're in Mooloolaba and craving Thai food give this place a try.
