About Uday Restaurant & Rooftop Bar

Three levels of modern Thai dining in Spotswood pair an open-air rooftop bar with punchy, scratch-made curries downstairs. Regulars start upstairs with sunset drinks and small plates before settling onto the lower floors for dinner. In the kitchen, house-pounded pastes drive dishes like braised beef cheek pad ped with kaffir lime leaf, crisp barramundi, and wok-tossed fried rice. Generous plates arrive alongside genuinely warm floor service, wrapping up over fresh mango sticky rice.

  • Scratch-Made Sauces & Pastes: Curry pastes and complex sauces are pounded and crafted in-house from scratch.
  • Three-Level Rooftop & Dining: Catch open-air drinks on the top deck before heading downstairs for full dinner service.
  • Attentive, Personal Service: Hospitality balances attentive pacing with warm care for both date nights and banquets.

  • Relaxed Atmosphere for Unhurried Conversation

    The unhurried dining room maintains a relaxed, quiet ambience where guests can hold effortless conversations.

Before you head over

Practical advice on navigating levels, timing, and reservations

  • Understand Rooftop Hours and Menu Limits

    The rooftop bar operates with distinct limitations—serving drinks and small plates rather than full mains, opening conditionally in fine weather, and often running from 3:00 PM Friday through Sunday. Plan to enjoy pre-dinner drinks upstairs before moving to lower floors for dinner.

  • Navigating Bookings and Table Sizing

    If you encounter booking friction or slow responses via phone or email, walking in directly is a practical option that has worked well for guests. Be aware that tables for two can feel compact, so consider requesting extra space if ordering multiple shared plates.

  • Take Advantage of Easy Precinct Parking

    Convenient vehicle parking is available on-site or nearby in the McLister Street precinct, eliminating stress when traveling to Spotswood from across Melbourne's western suburbs.
