It's affectionately known
as 'dirty Thai', but don't be put off by the plastic outdoor setting and grubby exterior; this
unpretentious restaurant dishes out the very best Thai food in town. If it's crowded, order
takeaway and head for the picnic tables overlooking Mooloolaba's main beach.

chydore's main drag. The menu is equally jazzy, with a humongous range of Indian fa-
vourites and lip-smacking regional specialties; there's also a very extensive vegetarian
menu.
