The Thirsty Koala - Carta

Great calamari. Excellent whiskey drinks. Huge entrees. Incredible service. Awesome night out!

The staff and the owner couldn’t be more kind and down to earth. If you want authentic Australian cuisine I highly recommend you check them out and ask for Nick as your bartender

Love the huge selection of GF dishes. Every time I come to NYC I try to visit this place. I’ve gotten different dishes each time I’ve gone and each one has been amazing. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Amazing food! We went there for brunch. My husband got crispy fried calamari and I got Pain perdu (French toast). I was beyond happy that the food was gluten free and so delicious. One of the best French toast I have had. Will definitely be back. Can’t wait to try their lunch and dinner menu (so many amazing gluten free options).

Food was great! The lamb lollies were really nicely done, cooked to perfection and nicely plated. The Bonzer Burger was also great. My friend got the Australian sea bass and that was also great! We went on a Tuesday and it was happy hour all night, to our surprise, so we definitely took advantage. The house cocktails were unique and delicious! Ver carta

The Thirsty Koala is of my favorite spots in Astoria. The menu is fun and creative and very well done. I often get the short rib tacos but there’s a lot to like, especially if you want something a little different and unique. Also I’ve found that it’s very well run. I order delivery fairly often and it always comes fast, they don’t make mistakes, and the taste and quality of the dishes is always top notch, every time. I definitely appreciate being able to trust they’ll get it right.

Was so excited to try out this place as the food looks delicious. Came by last Saturday night 1/14 and the food was in fact really good but was very disappointed by the service. We walk in, it’s very busy, took 20m to get water to the table but since they looked busy it’s understandable. Our server initially seemed annoyed that we waived him down to get our order in, because by this time, we’ve been sitting for 30m. It gave us the impression that it wasn’t his table to take, as he tried to wave … – show

Had a girls brunch here and absolutely loved every minute of it. The food is amazing, delicious and perfectly prepared. Two top favorites were the French toast and pancake choices on the menu. Trust me, you would not be disappointed. The brunch drink options are great, the gingeroo was our favorite. I can’t begin to describe the quality and attention to detail on the food so hopefully my pictures can do some justice. Our waiter was so pleasant and inviting. Made us felt so happy and comfortable. … – show Ver carta
