The…read morerestaurant floor may be tiny and but the attentive and genuine service makes up for the lack of space. The Thai green curry is fragrant and deliciously authentic and this (my favourite dish) mirrors the quality of the the other dishes on the menu. The takeaway counter at the back of the restaurant does a roaring trade and the revolving door of customers collecting their order provides cool relief! Tarin is only open for dinner (from 6pm) but book ahead as groups of local families, couples and coworkers know this place well! Park across the road at Warringal Shopping Centre and collect a bottle of wine from the Sir Henry Barkly Bottle-O to enjoy with your meal. Although don't be concerned if you forget, Tarin is licensed as well as BYO.

It had been a while since we were last at Tarin Thai and the service was as good as it has been…read moresince I first went there 20years ago. We ordered a prawn and a curry puff starters. The prawns were superb, the curry puffs needed the oil to have been a little hotter when they were deep fried, still tasty, just a little less puffy than I would have wanted. For the main course we had a green chicken curry and battered fried prawns with a tamarind based sauce, both we fine authentic fresh meals that had that Thai zing. Once again, tho, the prawns could have been done in hotter oil as they fell just a fraction short of being perfectly crispy. The wine list is small and modest but well priced, we had a Victorian Sauvignon Blanc for a quarter of the price we paid for similar quality local wine late last year.

Don't let the location put you off-it's not the best, infact it's pretty terrible but if you can get past that you won't be disappointed. The coconut prawns are to die for. The duck curry is amazing!! I can't recommend this place highly enough!!

Kudos to the chef for a delicious Thai menu: we ordered the whole fried fish (such a delicate dish with a very refreshing salad mix), pad thai, the green thai curry, roti, 3 kings, and the pork belly! The coffee was a personal favourite too this evening - single origin Guatemalan! The place looks very presentable. They have a fireplace! This is about style devoted to both loyalty card holders and newcomers alike. I didn't mind the hot towels at the end of the meal either. Highly recommended and would come back for sure. Best service staff as well this side of town.

This is hands down the best Thai restaurant in melbourne. The food is AMAZING…read more The staff are very professional. On my second visit, some months after my first I was seated at the table and the waiter remembered my girlfriend was vegetarian. Little things like that make you feel very welcome. I have eaten here any times now and each time I am blown away by the quality of the food. You have to try them if you like Thai food. They also run a cooking school so you can learn to cook like the pro's

When we should have been eating, we were microwaving to get the food somewhere near warm. A pretty ordinary experience. A combination of the restaurant and the Uber driver I'd say. It'd take a lot for me to try this place again as there are so many other good options in the area. I'd wanted to order from Gler and that was the better option. 22 days earlier It's a solid 4. Solid competently made local Thai fare. The basil fried rice was good. "The rice is nice" as the beautiful one put it. The green curry with chicken was lovely too. The highlight of the three dishes. The pad Thai with prawn was good as well. Not inspiring food but very solid. Good on Uber Eats tonight. The speed of the delivery was excellent. Under 20 minutes. Outstanding. It's a 3.6 for me.
