Paradai Thai Carnegie

Approved by Thai friend with both thumbs up. Clean setting with authentic Thai cooking. Just fantastic value and very good coffee, it is the best on this street.

I’ve been here quite a few times and it’s always been a great experience. I really enjoyed the mixed seafood dish and the lamb curry.

Easy-going Thai place that serves up a wide array of dishes. All hits, no misses, totally satisfied

It’s so interesting there are three paradai thai close to each other on the same street. This one has very modern looking design compares to the other two. The food were yummy and fresh. The only thing was a bit disappointing was that it took a whole for the staff to bring Penang curry.

Passing Carnegie, found lovely and cozy Thai restaurant while driving. We parked near-by with 2 mins walk. Staff were friendly and helpful. Menu is available by scan QR code but the system was simple and I can pay online via Apple Pay, which is very convenient. Food portion is medium but very reasonably. I’d ordered 4 dishes and thai milk tea but altogether was cost only $60! Will come back here again next time.👍🏻

This is DELICIOUS, great value Thai 😋

Staff are amazing, attentive and kind. Food was delicately balanced and came out promptly.

A fantastic experience, couldn't recommend more highly 👏

And yes the massamun was even more tasty than it looks

Grabbed a coffee here on a Sunday afternoon - delicious, creamy, reasonably priced. Service was friendly and efficient. The interior is clean and modern. Looking forward to dining here sometime!

One of the best spots for Thai food, a few mins walk from the train station, I found myself captivated by the charming exterior of this place.

The interior space was modern and chic, and the staff are friendly, but the reason for my trips back here is really for their exquisite food 😍✨

Top Recs 🌟
The Thai green curry is remarkable - fragrant, sweet and savoury, topped with generous amount of veg and meat

Their fried rice is also an absolute flavour bomb, it was a gratifying experience for me when I ordered it the first time and every mouthful was delightful!

Tom yum soup was decent as well, it gets spicier towards the end and as a spice lover, this aromatic, sour, spicy soup was surely tasty!

In the midst of a diverse food scene in carnegie, this place certainly stands out for all the best reasons possible, can’t wait to go back for my Thai-food fix soon. ✨

Delicious food with incredible flavours, every single time! Very friendly staff! Clean and spacious. Can get very busy and loud at times. Staff always do their best to find you a seat. All the dishes I have tried so far have been amazing.🙏

Love coming to Paradai 2! - happy to travel the 30 minutes 👌

🍴Food: Food is always excellent:
🍛Always get the panang curry and sticky rice. My recommendation.

💰 Price is reasonable.

🍽 Typical Thai restaurant vibe, nothing super flash but very nice.

📝 Booking recommend after 6.00pm

🤵 Staff were all friendly and welcoming.

🏎 Parking is limited outside. A short walk from neighbouring Woolworths.

Tips from your local guide:
1. Go for the 5.30 early bird dinner. Tables will be free and food will be quick.

Unique Dish: Heavenly Thai Chicken Fried Rice with an Umami taste of a slight sweet happy ending with each bite.

Every mouthful bursting with different flavour. Crunchy spring onion.

Tender juicy chicken. Good colour balance. Divine fragrance from herbs.

Juicy eggs. Pretty little Carrot florets. Cute Kawaii plate as underlay for rice.

Lots of juicy chicken pieces but not overwhelming. Succulent vegetables.

Quick 3 mins under shelter walk from Carnegie train station.

Best Deal: Value for $ at $11.50. It's a steal!

Food: Generous Portion size. Good amount of Meat.

Service: Waitresses are well presented, smiling & polite. Came quickly to us when we raised our hands for service.

Atmosphere: Love the clean wooden white decoration theme. Temperature is Climate Controlled. Toilet is clean.

Crowd: Young professionals with mixture of hip youngsters.

Place is packed full of people eating and queuing thus the food must be good. The food turnover rate is high thus the food must be fresh.

I give it 5 / 5 stars.

I will surely come back again to try different dishes especially the tom yum & drinks as they all look tasty.

I highly recommend you to bring your family, colleagues and friends there this week for a pleasant gastronomic experience.

:)

Nice place and good food. Portion size is really good. Many food options.

Great food. Rather pricey for Thai food, but the quality of produce is good. service is not bad. Can be overcrowded at peak hours

My go to thai place in the south east. Quick service, delicious food & value for money! Can’t go wrong with sibling spice.

Super delicious food and great service by the staff. I would recommend trying the banana roti with condensed milk if you're after an asian fried banana type of dessert. Can't wait to go again and try the other dishes!

Stumbled on our way and decided to walk in to try..Very clean and peaceful atmosphere..went in a bit after lunch time..coffee was made to perfection! We had the Tom yum soup, chicken satay and chicken pad thai..all of the food was very tasty..pad thai was really delicious, I would say one of the best I've had in a long time..this place did not disappoint and I would highly recommend it..also they have brunch, something to try in the future..

Trendy cafe with spacious and bright interior. The breakfast ramen was great, as was the soft shell crab bao. I’m definitely coming back to try some of the Thai dishes.

Awesome food and amazing service. Paradai’s Pad See Ew is the best I have had in Melbourne; and curries are all exceptionally tasty

Delicious food. Friendly staff.
It’s been a while since I’ve visited. I’m definitely going to have to go back soon. Cheers.
Still a little confused that there is two restaurants in the street with almost the same name. Pretty sure I’ve ordered from both on Uber Eats. Both good so not such a bad thing.
Pad Thai, yum. Satay prawn/beef, yum.
Lots of delicious things on the menu.

Flavorful food with the right portion 💯
Drinks can be skipped!
