Had a great meal here last week. If you're not sure what to order just ask the owner for his recommendation and you won't be disappointed. Hard to single out any one item as they were all great. Will definitely be back for more.

Perhaps, a little salty but generally well done Thai for the Gold Coast. The duck with basil and chilli wasn't that hot, and there was an absence of basil, but it was enjoyable. The prawns in tamarind were deep fried first and the tamarind not as strong as it should have been but there were lots of veggies. Coconut rice wasn't drowned in coconut but subtle.

Delicious food and cocktail list! The aroma when our mains were brought out was sensational. Great value for money offering a 2 course set menu for $29 and looking after me for my birthday.

Friendly staff and cool atmosphere to start a night out. Will definitely be back to try a different meal!

I have given 10 for quality as a regular buyer of what I think the best thick pork sausagers available. This also is the view of my neighbours.

Now the disappointing part on friday I wanted to buy 3 kg of thick pork none were available until sat no problems I purchased 6 thin pork ones to tie me over, but alas they were off, I will be taking them back to the shop this morning and purchasing fresh.

I also realise that this sort of thing can happen and congratulate your friendly staff and the window display of your products.

Very disappointed with our evening at Lola's. We have eaten there many times before and obviously loved, we wouldn't have returned if we didn't but we won't be back now!!A word to the new owners, if it ain't broke then don't fix it.

Awesome Curry. Lots of Authentic flavours. Service is very, very good. Their biryani is very tasty, the butter chicken is to die for, naans are unbelievably soft and my favourite is the spinach and lamb. My wife and I love Indian food and since we have moved to the coast we have struggled to find a good restaurant up until now. My mouth is watering just typing this up. I'm having the Malai Kofta and the Xacuti (not sure how you pronounce it) the next time.

Excellent food, price is fair, friendly services and clean, what else can we ask for? We always take our friends there for the meals. Fish with pineapple and basil sauce, beautiful.

In 9 years we have been to this pub 3 or 4 times. This time we were hoping that it has improved. How wrong were we. We booked for dinner on a Friday night at 6.30pm we were one of three tables in the whole restaurant at the time. Then meun is very, very limited. We ordered a kids fish and chips, a kids burger, a pork belly and lamb wrapped in filo pastry. T

he pork belly was under done but still edible, the kids burger was a frozen patty cooked for too long served with no tomato sauce!. The lamb filo was left in the oven too long so instead of golden brown it was brown leaving the lamb on the chewy side and the potatoes was missing the mint butter. The kids fish and chips was the best meal out of all of our meals.

The service was very slow, meals took a while to come out. No ambience what so ever. Very disappointed as locals who live only 2 minutes away we will be never coming back again. Will have to look some where else to become our regular dining spot.

Food was quite good but, unfortunately, the head waitress/senior staff? was extremely rude to my mum. Won't be going back obviously they don't need the business.

First time user, live in paradise point and hard to find home delivery to here. Food was delivered in under an hour and was excellent. Food was piping hot, which is sometimes rare with home delivery. Will definitely use again.

Extremely happy with the food. Its the real indian food that I ever had in QLD. Only drawback is the service. Was not really happy with it as I had asked to pack the left over curry as I had ordered too much and was not able to have it there and they handed me a container and asked me to fill it myself which i felt was extremely rude.

We recently had dinner at East on a Thursday night. They have this great promotion where it's half price off your total bill. This is a great deal, and we made the most of it, keeping the bartenders busy supplying us with yummy cocktails! We also made the most of the deal and had a bunch of entrees to share.

The food was great! The food took a while to get to the table (it was a busy night), but we were cool with this, as Sex n Chocolate were on stage keeping every one entertained. We had a great night, and will be back, next time we will get the babysitter to stay a bit later so we can enjoy the late night club!

We have eaten as a group at Ashiana several times and always enjoy going back. Always looked after well by manager and staff. Our group normally shares plates in the middle and everyone agrees its been a good night at a very fair price. We go for mild spices to keep everyone in the group happy. Ask the manager for his recommendations on the night. On site underground parking is convenient.

Coomera Lodge is great for Sunday lunches with family or friends. Playground for kids is the bomb. Staff are all very nice and easily approachable about anything. Live music on weekend.

Invited to Absynthe to help celebrate a friend's wife's birthday. Not sure how much he paid for the gustation experience, but we were surprised at how tiny the portions were. Their outdated menu (2011) on this site, says $140pp. I hope my friend didn't pay that much. My wife ordered a cocktail from their list, to have the waitress return and inform her they didn't have all the ingredients. She ordered a simple Brandy Alexander next, to again have the waitress come back and inform her the barman didn't know how to make one.

I needed to go to the gents toilet. Another waitress informed me that I had to go into another building and gave me some sketchy directions to get there. When I eventually found it, I discovered I needed a code to tap into the keypad locking the door. I had to go back to the restaurant to explain to another waitress my predicament who informed me that I actually needed a 4 digit code to get into the toilet.

The drinks were ridiculously over-priced. $17 for a stubbie of beer, or a glass of wine. A bottle of Amiri Sauv Blanc, $16 a glass, $56 a bottle - same bottle, $7.00 @ Dan Murphy's - seems indicative of the overall impression we have of our 1 time experience of Absynthe, highly over-priced and over-rated and very poor value for a hard-earned dollar, in short, a rip-off.

We had a fabulous time at East last night. Drinks were great and the food was wonderful. The place was packed out too.

Not having been to east before, I was blown away by the design and ambience of the restaurant. I was even more surprised by the transition to a nightclub. We had no choice but to stick around for drinks after dinner.

All in all, I really enjoyed my time at East. We have already booked again for next Thursday. Loved Sex and Chocolate too :)

3 blokes dined here midweek recently. The highlight for me was the authentic italian service as we were made to feel very welcomed. The meals we chose were quite good with true italian flavours while the ambience was energetic and colourful in the heart of Broadbeach. Try it.

Large group of us dined at this Chinese come Thai restaurant. The vast array of dishes we selected were very average to say the least with bland flavours, I guess watered down to suit a childs tastebuds. Service was none too friendly to boot with pushy waiters showing no patience when taking our order and later standing behind us demanding that we hand them empty plates. Suit families with a heap of kids, imo.

Pricey place for what they serve. Clean kitchen and efficient service. They advertise hyderabadi dum biryani on the menu but what they really serve is chicken curry mixed in short grain rice. Portion size are really small.
