Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Booked online for 7.30 , table of 8.
When we arrived we were told our starters and mains would come out together as the kitchen was closing.
We got our food which was nice , but the staff were cleaning and vacuuming whilst we were eating, we were made to feel rushed as the staff obviously wanted to go home .
This was a Saturday night and we were made to feel totally unwanted., the evening came to a close much earlier than we wanted.
If you need to close early , then please adjust your last booking to accommodate diners out for the evening .

My parents love Hathi Indian Restaurant and always want to come when I offer to take them out for a meal. Hathi has been around on the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore/Alex Headland) for years and have developed an excellent reputation (they have moved premises at least once in this time – they are currently in Alex opposite the beach but used to be located on Aerodrome Rd for 17 years)
The restaurant is relaxed and ambient, with friendly staff and very good Indian dishes. If you sit outside you can enjoy sea breezes. We have never had a bad meal here and mum and dad often reorder their favourite dishes (the prawn curry is a favourite of mum’s) and look forward to them in advance. The prices are very reasonable and rice is included with each main meal or curry, which is often not the case at Indian and Thai restaurants these days (most places seem to charge a minimum of $3 for a side dish of rice).

We got a takeaway and when we got home we found a black hair on our nahn bread. My partner was completely put off and it ruined the meal. I called the restaurant and they only offered a free nahn next time - I would hope for a refund, even if only for a portion of the bill. I did explain that to the manager but they would not offer any refund. Pretty disappointed as it felt they didn't really understand the impact that finding a hair in your food has on the entire meal.

I took my mum and dad for dinner at Hathi while back on the Sunshine Coast and we loved it. It’s been a mainstay on the Coast since 1992 which is testament to the high quality food and overall experience. Service was attentive with drink and food orders done at just the right time. The menu is extensive with something for everyone’s taste. Prices are very reasonable at $20-$25 for an Indian Curry (the prawn & seafood dishes are the more expensive) and $4.50 for a large serve of naan bread (we had spinach and cheese). A large bowl of rice for the 3 of us was included with the curries at no extra charge which happens rarely at Indian restaurants these days. All in all the bill came to just over $100 for the meals and drinks. My lamb madras was delicious and Mum and dad loved their prawn curries. Do try Hathi, it is highly recommended.

booked for 8 people on Thursday at 545.was my daughters birthday.when we arrived it took more time than usual to be seated as lots of takeaway people waiting.when we sat after about 10 minutes we asked if we could order the childs meal while we waited,he's 5,she said they were too busy but did order after a while.after a good half hour my daughter asked when they were going to take our tables order and she said we are too busy,table next to us had been waiting long before us.we suggested if they stopped taking orders for takeaway and served people who have actually booked a table it would be a better idea and if we were not to be served inn 10mins we were leaving. felt bad for the waitress as it wasn't her fault.We did get served,food was delicious as always.this place needs to get a better system going for takeaways and dining people.We have been going there for years since Maroochydore place, but now we will not go again as the service was so bad

Walked past earlier in the day & the aroma of the spices cooking made up our minds. Delicious meal, my husband raved about the Goat Madras and I had a delicate korma. Can’t recommend high enough.

A great curry. I had the mixed seafood curry at a hot spice level and it was delicious (and brought a bit of sweat to my brow which was good). The flavour was great and there was a good amount of seafood.
Well worth a try if your in the area.

We were lucky tonight. After being sat at a dreadful table we were then moved. We were served relatively quickly while we heard other people who had waited 30 mins for their main course and we're still not served. The food was great and I ordered a bottle of Indian White wine, delicious. We would return because we can walk there from our apartment and have just learned to slow down on our holidays!

Food was great and priced well.
Serves are generous and everyone was well fed.
Unfortunately staff are rude and willing to argue over $2.00 due to there website showing incorrect pricing.

We were shown to an outside table in winter where there was no heating . Food took one hour and 40 minutes to arrive . When this was raised with the manager he was dismissive and said take away orders were the priority .
It is a shame as food when it arrived was good however we were frozen solid by then

We had a wonderful lunch at Hathi, would recommend this restaurant to everyone. The staff were very helpful and polite.
The food was fresh and well presented, the Buttered Chicken was delicious and the Beef Saagwala was equally enjoyable.
As we live just down the road we will be returning with friends shortly, thanks.

We picked up takeaway from here and absolutely devoured it. We ordered the special and chose Chicken saag & Chicken Kadai. The naan bread is very generous in size which you don’t often get. The price was great! The service was awesome. If you’re in the area we highly recommend this restaurant either eat in or takeaway.

Picked up a takeaway from Hathi on a Monday.. one of best curries i have had. Good value and good food. The restaurant was busy but was also a Monday so may be quieter if other places are open. Will definitely be going there again.

Good service but we all left disappointed. The flavours were not great at all, very confused curries. The peshwari naan was not a peshwari naan (orange peel and Christmas style spices rather than coconut&sultanas). Wouldn’t return sadly.

My wife and I ate at Hathi on 25 Feb whilst on holidays. The food was magnificent and the service was first rate. Friendly staff. The chilli pickle was home made and the curries were divine. Will definitely eat there again on our next trip to Sunny Coast.
