Tastes Of The World - Toowoomba

On route to Chinchilla we needed to stop for dinner with children. Place is mainly catering for take away with just a few tables to handle dine in. The staff were amazing and so very accommodating, even closing the door to keep us warm. Attached...More

Had the kebab here on a public holiday (with no surcharge!) and for $8 (much cheaper than the usual shopping mall joints) had a lovely handmade lamb pattie with cheese (usually extra but not at this restaurant). Tastes JUST like an authentic middle-eastern kebab, and I was so happy that the meat wasn't that gross formed-sausage-on-a-rotating-spit that I see in many chain kebab shops.Owner was friendly, shop is clean and convienently located next to a 7-11 and incredibly well priced for the quality. I would expect to pay much more the taste I experienced (on par with restaurant quality) but with dagwood takeaway shop prices.

Very impressed! Falafel, spring rolls, curry puffs, pad Thai and a magic chocolate torte. Give them a try!

So, I would normally think that a restaurant serving Persian, Italian and Thai food, as well as burgers, would fall short. I would normally suggest somewhere be master of one, rather than dabble in many.But this place impresses. In two visits, we sampled all three, and each was great. The pasta dishes were swimming in oil, unpleasantly so, but if you ate from above the 'water line', so to speak, the flavours were perfect. The gnocchi was heavenly and light. My Thai red curry was well flavoured, the seafood in it very well cooked. The Persian food is clearly authentic, as this is where the owner is from. He takes the orders and oversees the kitchen, and is extremely friendly and likeable, very keen to make sure you have a good meal.The restaurant mainly caters to take away customers, but there are two tables if you want to dine in. The surrounds are pretty basic, not the place for a romantic candlelit dinner, but it'll do for a casual dinner.

Menu is huge but don't let that intimidate you. They make super tasty meals for a very great price! Pizza fries were my favourite, will be going back!
