Kaali Restaurant - Restaurant in Hastings st, Noosa

Absolutely blown away!!!! We were just expecting a quick comfort meal and were treated to the most delicious selection of dishes - easily the best Indian meal I have ever had. They seriously know what they're doing, every single thing we ordered was fantastic and we are only in Noosa for a few days but already planning a second night's dinner here. Try it out!!! The staff are gorgeous as well and really care.

My mum and sister and I ordered a significant amount of food from this restaurant to have a yummy takeaway dinner and were not disappointed. Everything we ordered was amazing, so tasty and were decent portions. One of the best Indian meals I have had. It was the perfect amount for three plus leftovers for tomorrow and the workers were super friendly and helpful when picking up. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a tasty Indian meal.

I ordered lunch special “thali” which had different variety of curries with rice, nan bread, pickle & salad. I must say the presentation and taste was impeccable. Strongly recommend this place if you crave for Indian food.

We dined at Kaali Restaurant and ordered a range of dishes, including papadum with chutneys, prawn pakora, chicken tikka, butter chicken, rogan josh gosht, naan, and drinks. The food was flavorful and enjoyable, but the portion sizes were quite small for the price, making it feel quite expensive overall. For example, the soda drinks were $7 each and served in a glass filled with ice and no Re-fill, which was a bit disappointing. As for the service, we believe the owners of the restaurant were working there. While the male owner was polite and welcoming, the female owner came across as rude, which affected the overall dining experience. While the food was good, the price-to-quantity ratio and some aspects of the service were not as impressive.

Not sure where to start with this review. One of the strangest dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Booked and arrived with two families and kids. Arrived at 6.15 ish. As you’d expect with this many people and tired kids it took us a while to work out what to order. We tried to order the kids food first and were very bluntly told due to the rain they wanted to do everything in one order as the staff had to leave as they lived far away. We had to be finished by 8 apparently. We asked for a few more minutes to decide what to order and the waitress instead stood there and got impatient with us while we were ordering. Totally ruined the experience of picking dishes. I was shocked at how rude this intro was at the start of the evening. Literally like we were an inconvenience. It completely ruined the mood of the evening. Even ordering was under pressure and rushed. The food thankfully was decent enough. The naans were slightly burned but the starters and mains including the vegan food was good. If the food wasn’t good they’d be getting an even lower rating I’m that disappointed at the rude service. They did offer to make dishes without cashew for my son who is allergic which was a bonus for them. The Chilean server was great and to be honest if we’d had her the whole night I would have been happy. I own a business and if my staff treated customers like this I’d be furious. For the expensive prices and poor initial service I will not be returning. Such a shame.

Absolutely amazing Indian food restaurant!! I lived in India for 8 years, and I was always a bit disappointed by other restaurants. However, today, I walked into Kaali, and left the restaurant with extreme bliss and gratefulness. Food was so great that I even missed a chance to leave a photo. The sevice was also great! They didn't treat any other tables differently, no matter who the customers were, we were all joyfully, equally embracing their lovely food❤️ Till the day we dine again(which will be pretty soon) wish all the best for the owners and the workers from Kaali🫶😌🥰

We took a chance here because its hard to get good Indian food in Australia. I’ve spent more than a year of my life traveling the north & south of india & don’t recall finding anything as authentic here in Australia. But tonight, we did! The chef knows what he’s doing. Absolutely delicious, friendly & humble service. We will definitely be back!

Great Indian food with rich flavours and generous servings. Relaxed, casual vibe and pet friendly too — we had our dog with us and felt really welcome. Perfect spot just across from the main Noosa beach. Will definitely be back next time we’re in town.

Went to this place for dinner during our honeymoon! It was one of the cheapest restaurants on Hastings Street. Thank goodness it was open - when we turned up. The manager was still setting up when we arrived. Even though it was cheaper the food was still really good and filling. There was cocktails and beers. The manager (I think it was the manager) was pretty nice and knew what we would like.

The best Indian fewer have ever had. Beef vindaloo is really spicy and we love that. Chicken tikka masala is just perfect. Eggplant dish was great too and don't miss the condiments plate. I couldn't even consider going to another Indian restaurant in Noosa because I can't see how you could get better Indian anywhere

Went here with a couple of friends, and as usual we all shared the dishes - I have never understood why people go to Asian restaurants , order a dish and then just eat that dish, so boring! The food was good, but unfortunately my memory of it is overshadowed by the poor service we received. Things went well when we arrived, a friendly greeting, our wine opened, glasses provided, but it all went downhill after our order was taken. It took over half an hour for the entrees to arrive (during which time a waitress asked if we would like her to remove the entree plates) and almost as long for the mains. Fortunately we had plenty to talk about, but the young family at the next table had two young boys falling asleep before they finished eating. The waitress asked if we would like more poppadums - they never arrived - and if we would like anther jug of water - ditto. A very pleasant meal spoilt by very poor service.

What a great little find down the end of Hastings St. Small space indoors with a generous covered outdoor dining space with colourful rugs if the weather turns chilly. So now onto the food, vegetable samosa was subtly spiced to add complexity and the pastry was light and short. So often samosas can be stodgy and dull, not so here. Then I had the chicken kofta with perfect roti... it was fantastic. My coeliac partner had lots of GF options but as always opted for beef vindaloo, the spiciness and flavour were spot on however the beef was tough, hence the four stars. Good little wine list with a Riesling that always complements spicy curries. If you enjoy Indian then make your way down Hastings st... you will not be disappointed!

Bloody amazing curry. Chicken tikka masala was superb and the saffron rice was sublime. Excellent naan and pompadums too.

What a find. Went tonight for a curry expecting it to be good but not excellent. Samosas were a great start. Undoubtably home made, hot , spicy & excellent. Had a chicken curry & a lamb curry both very good. Next time I will try a vindaloo and a prawn curry. This chef really knows his stuff. Licensed & not byo. Small but excellent wine list & reasonably priced. All in all a great meal . Will be back here often. Perfect for a takeaway. But better to order up big & have enough to take home for meals 2 & maybe 3. There are a number of must eat ats in Noosa . This is definitely one of them.

Food was "good", 5 star prices is somewhat of a head scratcher for what you're getting. Perhaps they would be more comfortable in a food court. Only, it doesn't take 20 minutes to get your bill in a food court!

Fabulous Indian food nicely spiced. Great selection including vegetarian items. Service was sublime!

Delicious food and reasonably priced for Hastings St, Noosa. My dining partner felt that his Goan Lamb (medium) was a little bit mild. I tried something I wouldn't usually choose, slices of eggplant with a paneer, vegetable and dried fruit stuffing with a creamy sauce. Quite tasty and very filling. I would go again if I were visiting Noosa.

Great food. Butter chicken & garlic naan is excellent and are my favourites. Wife is a vegetarian and she loves how there is such a wide range to choose. Not like a lot of places where there are only one or two vegetarian meals on the whole menu. We make sure we go there whenever in Noosa.
