Mr Drifter - Noosa Heads, Queensland

Stopped by Mr Drifter for a quick lunch. It was an interesting place with an interesting menu.

The food quality was ok but we felt the meat dishes did not have enough flavours.

A gem in the heart of Noosa. We went in for dinner on Saturday and this place was buzzing. The drinks are fantastic, as is the food but the reason to write this review is the Drifter Rolls. Absolutely amazing Indian kulcha bases used for the roles with some savoury filling. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the flavour. We ordered the Teriyaki Eggplant and the Pakistani chicken Drifter roll (see images and devoured them as we would a soft shell taco. Infact this innovative food gives the legendary taco a run for it's money. You won't regret trying this out.

Oh and the staff was great and the ambience was vibing. Good experience.

Great spot for takeaway street food. The drifter rolls are delicious. The pumpkin yellow curry is another great choice. Highly recommend.

We visited after dinner and only had cocktails, but the atmosphere was amazing, and the staff were excellent😉

Had some fresh vegan Asian fusion. Was delicious, if only my taco a bit too runny 🙂

The food was utterly delicious. We were having a very rare night out (in these frugal times!) and treated ourselves to a meal and a show. Mr Drifter had an appealing menu, a bit different from the usual fare, and the space was inviting and playing good music - always a winner for us.

We sat on the front bench table to ‘people watch’ at around 5.30pm, and were served ice-cold craft beer (Blackflag ‘middys’ from Coolum) and dish after tasty dish. Deep flavours, fresh ingredients and local fish, pickled veggies, crunchy slaw, and creamy curries with just enough kick.

(Some of our choices: City Fried Chicken with Gochujang Caramel, Kewpie and Lime, Kadai Pakistan Chicken Curry, with roti and rice, and Market Fish Green Curry (Barramundi) - Balinese Marinade Green Curry, Coconut and Chilli Chutney)

We sat in the afterglow of a great meal, satiated and happy, as the bistro lights festooned along the pathway and through the trees came on and the well dressed folk of Noosa turned out for our viewing pleasure! 😀 (Felt very European, especially with people sporadically zipping about on Vespas in stylish attire!)

We actually brought in two different sets of customers who were pursuing the menu outside, thanks to our rave and honest review as we sat there.

A great venue with fantastic food - we will be back! (Cost around $60 per head not including beer - we thought it was worth every penny for the food, service and atmosphere.)

What a great little spot! We stopped in for lunch and the food was so fresh and full of flavour. They had a great selection of drinks as well which was a bonus.

Highly recommend the Indonesian pulled pork Drifter Roll.

Will definitely be back again.

Whilst the food was tasty it was the smallest piece of fish in a bowl of sauce. If you wanted extra nutrition that was $5 bowl of rice and $5 one piece of roti. Honestly it is not a square healthy meal. $38 for a piece of fish less than a child’s palm size. I have had fish fingers bigger.
The music was too loud to talk at all.
