I have eaten at Narai Thai literally dozens of times over the decades. It was one of the first Northcote/Thornbury haunts that wasn't a pub, and it effectively set the standard for the area.

On a recent visit we agreed that we had never had a bad meal here. Yes, the service can vary, but the food is always good and as it's still BYO, an evening here is good value.

The night we were there consisted of two big tables - a hen's night and a birthday group. Although it was noisy, we still had our order taken and received our meal in acceptable timeframes. We had the curry puffs and the prawns wrapped n spring roll wrappers to start. Both were great. As was our pad thai with prawn and a yellow beef curry.

This is a local worth going back for.

We dined here with friends and my 7 year old daughter. From the moment we arrived there was barely any service. Had to ask for wine glasses,water,menu's, and for wine to be opened. The waitresses were very disinterested in serving us and answering questions about the menu. Everyones meals arrived at different times with about 5-8 minute gap between first to last meal. The food was good and enjoyed by everyone on the table. This restaurant has a lot of people ordering takeaway which is why there was little service. This is the downfall of this restaurant. A little over priced also.

We were walking past and saw the menu on window, glad we did because the meal was delicious. We had spicy Thai soup, curries and rice served by very friendly staff. There is no charge for BYO wine so we popped next door to buy a bottle which made the cost even cheaper. Will return next time in area.

I have been going to this excellent Thai restaurant for many years and I always make time to spend an evening there when I visit. The food is Fantasic as is the atmosphere and the friendly staff.

Deceptively good it is. We were nearby searching for a place to have dinner and saw this at Trip Advisor. We almost drove pass the restaurant as the awnings were down and the restaurant didn't stand out at all. Glad we went in as the food was very good, the service was wonderful and the kitchen was very clean too (I had a sneak on my way to the bathroom). Anyway, this restaurant is highly recommended.
