There are so many reasons why I love Thai food. The richness of coconut cream, the spiciness of…read morechilli and the tangy flavour that comes from ginger and lemongrass. Great Thai food should be able to combine all of those flavours and not let them overwhelm one another. Narai Thai comes pretty close to delivering. The menu may look pretty standard but the flavours are definitely present, and several dishes are brilliant. I recommend the calamari salad ($9.90) as an entrée, followed by either the Muu Yang ($14.90) or the sweet chilli jam stir-fry with chicken ($12.90). Narai offers take away, but it's always nice to dine there. I love being in the restaurant surrounded by purple and silver decorations, and the polite and hospitable staff. While Narai may not be able to keep up with the fusion fine dining Thai venues in Melbourne, it holds its ground well amongst hundreds of local Thai restaurants where the customers go just for a serve of pad Thai.

Been here four times and loved it each time. Basically it's the best mid priced Thai I know of and…read moreI know quite a few. Tonight we ate two of the specials - red curry duck and slow cooked lamb Massaman - together with mixed seafood basil. They were each absolutely delectable and the serves are generous and not expensive. Add really friendly and efficient service and you've got a fantastic local restaurant. It's a beauty. I can't wait to return.

Siam Village remains one of my top Thai restaurants in Melbourne. I have been there so many times…read moreand I have never been disappointed. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and size of the serving you receive. The curries are spot on flavour wise. They are not too hot, and have the perfect balance of heat, sweet and sour. The meat is top notch too. My favourite dish is the pad thai. The combination of spices, fish sauce, noodles and vegies is perfect, and I am always left full. There is usually enough left over for lunch the next day too, and it is just as good reheated.

I would never have expected to find such a nice Thai restaurant at Pinewood. But I have been…read morepleasantly surprised by Siam Village. I'm one of those people who really seeks out the best curries. I'm not too fussed about other Thai dishes. Don't get me wrong, I'll wolf down bucketload after bucketload of pad thai, but it's the curries that keep me interested in a restaurant. The curries at Siam Village are excellent. I usually grab the massaman curry with beef. If you know the dish, you'll know that the potatoes in that dish can really seem a bit underdone at many restaurants. Haven't had that experience here. They're exactly as you would hope. The décor is really quite nice. Although the furniture itself is dark, the whole restaurant seems quite light and airy. I really like the place and will be going back very soon.

Just that alone deserves a few stars. Inside, the restaurant is really nicely decked out, with an authentic feel resounding from the décor and seating arrangements. One thing I noticed first was the price. Wow, this place is quite spendy for a curry! Expect to fork out around $18 for a vegie curry alone. Add rice, bread and drinks to this and you're looking at around $40 per head for dinner, which is a little rich for Thai. That's said the food is quite good, and if you don't mind the extra expense, check out Poppy's Thai, even if it's just for the front door.

You get a sprinkle of salt and a handful of peanuts on the side to add at your leisure and it has been the stand out dish of our trips. Others are not as consistent. The green curry is a little sweet for my taste and the coconut rice can be spectacular and can be a little dry. These guys are serving really good food in an area/suburb which is lacking, unless of course you are a fun of Fasta Pasta and pizza loaded with strips of ham and onion (old school Australian pizza). The husband/wife owned business ensures a comfortable feel and service is a little clunky and disorganized, like a family home. But no one really seems to mind here, prices are cheap, the space is quite lovely and the food is....A-OK.

In a slick surrounding and with staff that know that good service means a lot, Siam Terrace serves up some damn fine fare any night of the week. Good for group bookings, (book in advance); Siam Terrace does a great range of Thai cuisines, and caters to the vegetarian of the group with ease. Try the pumpkin fritters as an entree for a coconut infused snack to warm the belly up before the main event. I enjoy the cashew nut stir-fry, with mixed vegetables and tofu for a main, or any of the curries on offer. Siam terrace also delivers to the local area for no charge if your order is over $25. They also deliver beer by the 6 pack, saving you a trip to the bottle shop.
