About The Dish Thai

Heathmont regulars head here for rich, coconut-cream curries and an easy BYO wine policy in a crisp, modern room. Plates come stacked generously with tender beef massaman, smoky claypot tofu mordin, and drunken noodles tossed over high heat. Free starters skip the standard pink chips for thick, crunchy square prawn crackers. Unrushed service keeps dinner catch-ups and celebrations running smoothly, while busy weeknights run on brisk takeaway orders of red duck curry scooped over fragrant coconut rice.

  • BYO wine welcome: Diners can bring their own wine to accompany sit-down meals in the dining room.
  • Rich coconut cream bases: Curries simmer with premium coconut cream for a thick, hearty finish loaded with meat.
  • Thick-cut prawn crackers: Meals open with crunchy, square-cut complimentary prawn crackers instead of standard thin crisps.

  • Golden Bags

    We ordered golden bags, spicy basil & beef stir fry, grilled marinated chicken, and ginger fish. We found every dish adequate in size and generous with meat.

  • Complimentary Prawn Crackers

    Now, I have to give a huge shout-out to their complimentary Prawn Crackers. These aren't the typical pink oval crackers we're accustomed too, they are more square shaped, thick as cardboard, crunchy as anything, and absolutely divine!

  • Thai Milk Tea

    the Thai milk tea was amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you bring your own wine?

Yes. Guests can bring their own wine to enjoy with their meal. The venue is also licensed, serving wine and beer alongside a selection of non-alcoholic drinks like Thai milk tea.

How generous are the portion sizes?

Portions are generous, with diners noting that main dishes come with plenty of meat and that sharing a single order of rice is often plenty for two people. Rich curries and noodles can easily be split or taken home.

How spicy is the food?

Heat levels can pack a punch. Dishes marked medium can be a genuine heat test, and special requests for high spice can be intensely fiery. If you are sensitive to heat, starting with mild is recommended.

Can you book a table for groups or special occasions?

Yes. The Dish Thai accepts table reservations, accommodating couples, family gatherings, and large parties such as groups of eleven. Booking ahead is helpful during busy peak dinner times.
