Okay food - Edit
The vibes of this restaurant is great and very Tiki-style however I wasn't very happy with the food here. I had ordered a lamb souvlaki and a carbonara which were were both average. The flavours were lacking a bit in both. Wouldn't visit again, unfortunately.

Anywhere vegan! - Edit
Tiki style timber interior vegan resto with patio on the main drag adjoining a motel is the answer to the question Doko Demo offers up when it asks the age old vegan dilemma of where to eat that doesn't suck.
Read moreI tried the pot plant ice cream which wasn't hemp infused as I expected because I forgot this is Australia not California and pot plant doesn't mean cannabis here but rather a houseplant in a ceramic pot. Caramel ice cream served with a cookie crumble soil styled crust and a tiny plastic hoe was just delicious albeit it far too reasonably portioned for my preference in ice cream. Steamed dumplings were homemade and the waitstaff were hard working, good humored and polite.
Kitchen appeared to be extremely invested in the high quality of food and customer service to the degree that I might have guessed them owners.
Anywhere else would be a hard sell compared to here, looking forward to visiting when the dining room isn't packed so I don't feel badly for sitting all day and trying every item on the menu!

Amazing! - Edit
So excited to find and try this place! Huge menu with so many options - only problem was choosing what to try. My partner had the works burger and I had the “chicken” burger. Both were absolutely fantastic - some of the best burgers we’ve ever had! Service was excellent, super friendly and attentive. We will be back again so soon!

My fav Vegetarian/Vegan Restaurant on Gold Coast - Edit
I have been here many times now & even had my Birthday party here a few months ago. They do any dish vegan or vegetarian and my favorite is the duck pizza with Hoisin sauce. The nachos are awesome too. Loved the sweet potato chips. Just had the mushroom burger last night & as I don't like spicy, they were happy to take off the chilli jam. I also don't like tomatoes and they were happy to change it to onion instead. Staff are always lovely, friendly and helpful.
Read morePros: All vegan options for any dish, Very good prices, Lovely staff
Cons: Can be hard to find & park as parking is behind

Something for everyone. - Edit
We were a hard group to cater for with a vegan, gluten free vegetarian and as well as some one allergic to nuts. They handled it all easily.
Read moreThe vegan beef lasagna was indistinguishable from a full carne version and the ‘pot plant’ dessert was a highlight complete with tiny spade - try it.
100% chance of going there again.
When we asked if something had nuts in it the chef personally rushed out to make sure everything was ok which was amazing. You can’t buy caring.
Pros: Very good variety, Original menu, Great chef and staff
Cons: Could be a better position

Great food, staff and restaurant - Edit
Was close to our hotel so we ended up going 4 times. They have such an interesting selection of foods, lots of vegan options. Everything was tasty, wasn't disappointed with anything. Really enjoyed the lamb gyro. Probably would recommend going for dinner but honestly it's good all day. Staff were extremely welcoming which was really nice.

Great food, even better service - Edit
We've been here a few times now. Took a party of 10 there recently, a couple were meat eaters who had no idea the "chicken" was plant based until told. The look on one guys face was priceless. Yea, dude, you don't need to eat animals to enjoy tasty food. Service is great with very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Random menu and location, but decent food. - Edit
The menu is a bit random and the location and atmosphere/vibe, is a little odd.
Read moreFood is good though and tasty. Some vegan options, or can change quite a few things to be dairy/egg free etc.
