Being the lover of Thai food that I am, I'm always on the lookout for a great Thai restaurant that…read moreserves up my favourite dishes in a delicious way. I saw the reviews for Thai Rani and decided to finally give it a try. It's got nice decor inside, and the ambience is nice. They have a good extensive and varied menu with photos alongside some of the dishes to get a good visual of. I would normally choose my usual Chicken Fried Rice, but I must say, the photo they've used in the menu is most unappealing, so I went for the Chicken Massaman instead. Beforehand, I ordered the Chicken Curry Puffs as they looked great in the picture. The curry puffs were delicious. A great start to the first time dining here. It did come out a bit slow, but then again, this restaurant (along with many like it) choose to look after their takeout orders first (which irks me very much). When it did come out eventually, they tasted as delicious as the photos showed them to be. The main meal came out VERY slowly and was actually quite irritating. My friend ordered the Lemon Chicken, which looked NOTHING like in the photo. The photo - and dish description - depicted crispy battered chicken, whereas what came out was soggy and almost mushy. I however got the Chicken Massaman and Coconut Rice, both of which were really good. I will say, the food here overall is very good and worthy of all of these positive reviews. It's reasonably priced and has a nice modern atmosphere. However ... I really wish restaurants looked after the patrons that are already inside BEFORE taking care of phone orders. I will be willing to try it here one more time, but if it's as slow as it was last week, that will be my last visit. I'd rather they tell someone on the phone to come down an extra 10 minutes later, than leave people inside watching order after order after order leave the restaurant while we go hungry.

From the owner: Thai Rani offers the best of flavours of Southeast Asia (mainly Thailand and Malaysia).

First time trying here as I have just moved into the area…read more Entree of satay sticks were amazing. Great size with very generous amount of sauce. Pad Thai sadly was a huge letdown. Very bland. Peanut dust on the top and lemon from a bottle!! Not good. Fresh lemon is a must for a good pad Thai. As are freshly ground peanuts. The service was very friendly although they brought our meals out separately with a large wait time for my friends meal. Sticky rice balls in coconut milk for dessert = not great. :-( Just want to add though that the staff were extremely friendly and attentive.

A typical good suburb Thai restaurant…read more I really liked the decor, the orange napkins match the wooden tables match the walls match the light shades. I had a duck curry, that was a bit chili hotter than I would have liked, but I could still taste the coconut in the rice. Busy, a good sign, friendly service, varied menu with big veg section, well written wine list. Does take away.

Always looking for "new" places to try, I found this little gem yesterday, and tried it for dinner…read moretonight. It's in a good location with plenty of street parking and while there's not a lot of curb appeal, it sounded good, so thought we'd give it a go. The interior is a little odd; quite a mish mosh of decor. But it smelled good inside, so we were eager to see what the food was like. They took our order promptly, and were accommodating with requests. The food came out in good time, which was more impressive since they were doing a few take out orders. The entrees were nice. Generic chicken spring rolls and chicken curry puffs. They were really nice and would probably order again. For my main, I had the chicken fried rice and though it was really nothing to look at (presentation left much to be desired) the food was very good. The kitchen honoured our requests for changes to the dishes, and the mains also came out in reasonable timing. From a pricing point of view, I think it was very reasonable. Mains were in the mid teens, and on a par with other small Thai restaurants. Overall ... would I come back again? If I was in the area, I'd definitely come back again. There wasn't anything really bad about it here at all. Considering it's almost a 30 minute drive from home to it, I'd be more inclined to try elsewhere first. But if you find yourself in Sandringham and want a good Thai meal, give this a try for sure.

All dishes ordered were put together like it came from a country restaurant where stirring premade sauce onto same set of vegetables and heating equates to cooking.
