Review of The Thirsty Koala

Ordered takeout for four people plus leftovers. We had halloumi fries, fried calamari and corn/jalapeño fritters appetizers (they have a dedicated fryer), all were very good, and the side dressings were also delicious and gluten free. Main dishes were Kale Halloumi (Heaps Good) salad, fish tacos and mango chicken. Of those the tacos stood out, the salad was good, and the chicken was a bit bland. We also had a side of fries, a real treat for me thanks to the fryer! Dessert was one Lamington cake split four ways, which was plenty for us, since we were full! Service was excellent and they were very careful with the gluten free requirement! We felt safe and I did not get sick! I would return and would recommend. It is a bit pricey but the food was delicious and safe, so worth it!
