About Sweet Rice

Modest Altona North digs turning out punchy, aromatic Thai cooking that skips heavy oils for bright, grounded balance. No fussy garnishes or staged plates here—just generous bowls of fall-apart beef massaman curry, crisp soft shell crab tossed with tart fruit, and smoky pad see ew straight from the wok. Dinner regulars lean into flaky roti paired with house satay alongside fragrant coconut rice. For takeaway nights, the kitchen handles allergy tweaks thoughtfully, packing cashew swaps separately to keep weeknight takeout crisp and stress-free.

  • Homestyle, unpretentious cooking: Expect unpretentious table service focused entirely on homestyle cooking, vibrant herbs, and zero heavy oil.
  • Thoughtful allergy substitutions: The kitchen accommodates peanut allergies on takeaway orders with considerate cashew substitutes boxed separately.
  • Roti and coconut rice staples: Crisp roti with house-made satay sauce pairs cleanly with generous bowls of fragrant coconut rice.
