My favourite place in the West for Thai. Delicious food, friendly service, and a fun little mid-century modern "living room" area to sit and wait for your takeaway. Highly recommended!
Beautiful food, excellent prices, and warm, friendly service.
awesome food as always!!! thank you thank you thank you!
Great food but the waiting time fo drinks and food in a restaurant where it is almost empty is inexcusable. 30 mins for a beer is a bit rich !!! Need to work on quicker service and we would be there once a week at least .
3.5. This restaurant is slightly hidden away, and although quite vacant on a weekday night, I was delighted to find that the food was generally excellent with authentic flavours, large portions and definitely deserving of a larger crowd. The fish cakes are full of flavour, grilled marinated chicken was very good, son-in-law eggs were hard-boiled (as they supposedly should be). Beef salad was a little bland, whilst the soft shell crab special was delicious in a tasty sauce of capsicum and carrots. The duck green curry was excellent (and huge!), the papaya salad was pretty good and the roti quite nice. Strangely, the weakest dish of the night was the pad thai which wasn't well marinaded in tamarind sauce and a little bland. Overall though, prompt service and delivery of food, and a great dinner with some very good dishes. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

My family has takeaway from here regularly. Some of our favourites are Pad See Ew, Panang Curry, stir fried ginger, green curry and coconut rice. The Pad Kee Mow was way too spicy to share with our 2 year old, and menu log had no indication of hotness. We now use the paper menu so we know how spicy each dish is.
We have been here for a few years and only for lunch.
My review may not be very helpful as I've only ordered the same dish - the sweet and sour fish with rice. It's on their lunch menu.
It's not the best I've had, not the worst.
But I'm happy going back each time I feel like a quick lunch of sweet and sour, without parking hassles. It's more the convenience for me than the taste.
Staff friendly.

Being a local, I have been meaning to get to Jantra for a while. Finally I got to go here for dinner with family.
Jantra is kind of in an industrial area and near the railway line. When I pulled into the carpark I saw a wild rabbit hopping about. It did not hop off when I opened my car door.
We went and had an early dinner (~6pm) as we had very young people with us. Jantra was not busy at this time but as the night went on it got busier.
Service was friendly and with a smile, the place was clean and tidy but maybe in need of a bit of a spruce up inside.
We did not have to wait long for our entrees - spring rolls (vegie and chicken) and chicken satay skewers. The vegie spring rolls were enjoyed more than the chicken ones.
The chicken satay had plump pieces of chicken and were cooked very well. The chicken was very succulent.The peanut sauce was very acceptable.
Our mains came out pretty quick. For mains we had chicken fried rice, coconut rice, massaman curry, king prawn with mint salad, crispy soft shell crab, and a beef and vegetable stir fry.
The massaman curry seemed to be the favourite dish, the chicken fried rice was also great and the kids just loved the coconut rice. The soft shell crab could have been crispier, but it may have just been that I did not get to it quick enough before moisture got to it. The kids loved it.
Would I return? Yes.
Had driven passed so many times & only went here because Thai Angles was closed, so glad we did. Food was delicious, came out very quick & was good sized portions. Stand out dishes; son in law eggs & Pad Thai. Lovely service, will be back next time we crave Thai
Nice place for a private dinner. I liked the interior and music. Tge staff was nice. They also offer fixed menu. Vegetarian food tastes awesome.

I'm ashamed of myself that I didn't find this place soon enough!
Jantra provided a lovely dining experience.
We started off with chicken satay skewers, the satay sauce was lovely, the chicken however was quite overcooked and not as soft as saowanee in Niddrie.
We ordered the red chicken curry and massaman chicken curry, both very fragrant and tasty.
We ordered 2 steamed jasmine rice on the side and 1 on its own was actually a serving for 2 so good value right there.
We had apt of curry leftover as well so it was good to takeaway and bring home to eat the next day.
We also ordered some roti bread on the side, have had better, but would probably just get rice next time.
For the beverages, the $3 Thai milk tea was a bargain and it tasted perfect, not too sweet and not too strong in tea.
The $3 Thai lemon tea has an Asian tea taste, wouldn't order it again but it did make the experience refreshing.
Our orders were missed a couple of times but we're all human and it's normal to forget.
Would definitely return, staff were very friendly and attentive. Pricing is pretty decent compared to most Thai restaurants.
Take your lover, friends and family here for great Thai food.
Very lovely service.
Our family of 17 dined in on a Saturday night, cos there was so many of us, we got to try heaps of dishes. My favourites were the Thai beef salad and duck massaman curry. Surprisingly, the taro dessert was really nice! The noodle dishes needed a bolder flavour.
New-ish restaurant hidden away in a business district in Maidstone. We had the chicken skewers with peanut sauce to share which were delicious! The peanut sauce especially was made really well. We then had the Pad Kee Mow and a Massaman curry with coconut rice. All the food was really nice, well made and well presented. They also had a fair range of wines as well, though only a handful were available by the glass.
Overall great experience, will definitely be back!
Awesome place tucked away in a business area that probably gets less attention than it deserves. Place has A+ staff that were always ready to assist; even the plates brought out were already warm. Place was empty at 7pm which seemed odd, although people arrived in due time. Food was great, decor was really fancy and welcoming, would definitely return.
Unassuming Thai restaurant hiding in commercial business park. Eaten here a couple of times now and a Red Curry and a couple of stir fry dishes. Food has always been delicious and service has been up to scratch.
I loved the green curry with chicken! Reminded me of the authentic flavours of Thailand. I will definetely come back just for the curry!!! :)
Wow! This is a hidden gem. I love this place fresh hot amazing food :) friendly staff! I would happily recommend this place 10/10
Good food and great service. Been to this place a couple of times and have enjoyed the food. Very friendly wait staff and great choice on the menu. Would recommend this place as its not too expensive for the fantastic taste and good service.
Fantastic! Fresh & delicious. Reasonably priced & friendly service. Definitely recommend
In this unassuming place, tucked away off the main road sits a literal diamond in the rough. You don't have to travel to Thailand to experience some of the best traditional thai food, it's right here in Melbourne! Every time I have visited its been top quality, consistent food and prompt service. If you love your Thai PLEASE try Jantra. The Tom Yum and Soft Shell Crab Salad is a must when visiting.
Lovely food..very clean premises. I popped in for lunch.
loads of car parks, very clean premises.
quick service, friendly waiter and quite a few people dining.
really good food and flavours!
Best Thai I have eaten in a long time. The vegetables are very fresh and not overcooked which is great. During the day out the window you can see two rabbits in the garden which was fun to observe - apparently they are regulars too.
Great tasting food. Despite it's location it's a favourite for us.
Best Thai food in Footscray. We just moved to the area. We have ever passed this place 2-3 times, it looks very nice that we have seen from outside. Finally, we decided to get in. Visually, the inside was superb!!!, the service was exceptional, the staff was really lovely. We ordered Satay Chicken Skewers, Chicken in Pandan leaves, Green Chicken Curry and Crispy Fish in Curry. All food was very very fantastic!!! Curry is the best I have ever had... We will definitely be back.
Best Thai restaurant. Nice environment and service! The stir fried chicken with Tufu is yummm! It is nice marriage of chicken and tufu, tender chicken and fresh tufu with lemon grass stir fried rice are my favorite and highly recommended. PS: Reasonable price as well.
Beautiful Beaf Salad. I tried their beaf salad last friday and it is beautiful. I love the taste of the beaf and especially when i mix the salad with rice, delicious!
I will come again for another beaf salad and try something else, cheers
OK, but weird veg in dishes. Have been three time. Very yummy and authentic Pad Tai, curries, spring rolls, fish cakes. However I think due to produce available vegs included are sometimes not exactly authentic. Eg we had yellow squash in our green curry. The desserts were amazing and well worth squeezing in!
Fantastic meals! We had stir fried beef with basil & chicken panang. Kids had selection of entree's...spring rolls, chicken satay, calamari & wontons. SO GOOD! Every scrap of food gone and all totally full. Definitely be back again :)
Best thai food i tried so far. Welll without any doubt i can say the best thai food i tried so far , even though i dnt live in that area but still , i love to go there and eat , every dish cooked so well and tasty , highly recommned to all thai food lovers
Really genuine, authentic Thai food here. Great service, and very cheap for how good the food is. Curries are nice and spicy upon request, pretty ridiculous that this place is so quiet! Is a little hard to find, I reckon it'll catch on!
I had the ginger chicken tonight and it was great choice. Tasted better than almost all other Thai places I have been to, and I have been to a lot of Thai places. Even the rice was great, I am usually picky with rice but this was perfect and I took my time to overeat. First time but definitely going back again. Love the location with heaps of parking. Adrian
The food is great! Usually I don't like curry but the curry here is very nice. Very friendly service too!
Great food and service. Really hope they sort out their liquor license. Little bit pricey but everything tasted great and the food came out nice and quick. Will definately go back :) kinda hope it stays not too busy!
YUMMY!. Great prices, friendly service and above average fare. Was disappointed that they don't have a license yet, we were really looking forward to a Beer with our meal but we'll definitely be back and I imagine it will become a regular take away too.
Great local place to go too. Delicious food!
Excellent service. A bit of a wait for the food, but it was worth it! Delicious and flavorful food. I recommend the fish cakes, Thai curry and the lychee ice cream with coconut. A must try out place!
Truly authentic Thai food as good as what I can find in my travels through Thailand in the 90s. It may take a while to find the place as it is not obvious. The place is nice, spacious and modern looking. A good spread of dishes and noodles in its menu. My order is massaman curry with chicken. Very flavourful and spicy the way I expect.
Awesome! Authentique original Thai taste by Thai chef with reasonable price. Amazing fresh and delicious ingredients. Friendly service and plenty of available car parking lot.
The food was the best thai food I’ve tried definitely worth a visit!
Great food, easy parking for either eating in or taking away
I asked for spicy hot and they were indeed spicy. I ❤
