![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We returned for my dads birthday tonight as the venue we typically visit for said event is sadly closed due to covid. Service was incredibly slow perhaps due to reduced staff and the excessive number of takeaway orders which was quite irritating but the food however was once again very well done. We stuck with our regulars today but also added the green curry as the birthday boy wanted to try something different, definitely recommend everything we had.
Further update
We visited Thai Sontaya tonight after a series of events resulted in a cancelled dinner at home. The Penang curry on this occasion was absolute perfection I could literally just drink the sauce. Seems to be a place I enjoy more and more with each visit. Look forward to the next one
Update
After the resounding success of our previous visit we headed to Sontaya again last night for a family birthday. We stuck with the below tried and true favourites (note this menu is wildly out of date) but this time also added the massamum curry which was a splendid discovery. Knowing how much we’d enjoyed the other dishes previously I’d questioned whether we should bother with the massmum but it was my stand out dish of the night.
Original review
I was staying at my parents house the night before my wedding and mums great suggestion for a relaxed evening was takeway pizza and dvds. Um no Mum let’s not eat complex carbs 12 hours prior so we ended up at Sontaya Thai a delicious local restaurant I’d never been to before and ordered oh so much food we probably would have been better off with the pizza!
No regrets though it was fantastic and let’s be honest it’s not like I ever tried to diet in the lead up. The only hiccup was a hair in one of the dishes (quite entwined) but it was swiftly replaced and all of the food was sensational. My favourite was the satay chicken (we ended up ordering three!) such a flavoursome sauce I was spooning up the remaining liquid like soup!
I loved the salt and pepper calamari (note this menu appears a little out of date).While we were avoiding coconut rice, roti and noodle dishes like the plague (well the females were anyway) we went for the gang phe neang which was a yummy Penang style curry and a great sauce once again. Very pleased with this discovery

After a few weeks in Japan, I was dying for a good curry. And the ‘burbs’ can pull it off with a traditional Thai meal that satiated my yearning. We came for a celebration on a Friday night with no booking and the lovely staff managed to get us a table for 5. Sontaya is located at the top of the shopping centre in Eltham and with full patronage on the night, it has a popular following.
We ordered an array of dishes such as roti, satay skewers, chicken and cashew curry, coconut rice and more. The portion sizes were good and the rice was perfectly light and fluffy.
The staff were helpful and patient as we ordered plenty of food. The restaurant is BYO but you can also order wine as well.
Note: Wheelchair accessible. Kid friendly. Good parking nearby. Takes credit cards. Take away menu available.
thai sontaya is the BEST thai food. i wish there was a takeaway option but it’s always a great option when you want easy thai food. they have the yummiest vegan options and the staff are always friendly.
Great place! ! They have a Whole vEgan menu. BYO wine. Yeah yum! Puts the yum back In Thai food. Would recommend vegan red curry. Yes fantastic !
Amaaaazing food! So delicious! We got the vegan green curry, sweet n sour and coconut rice. The price was pretty decent, we were super full and satisfied afterwards. Service is great and the place is cute. Some of the best Thai food I've had. Will definitely return.
This place has been a staple for a long time - revisited the other night, quality, service and value has not changed - Chicken Green Curry spot on as was the Chicken Cashew. Rate it.
Thought we would give it a go as take away and blown away by the green curry and pad Thai. Perfectly cooked and so tasty. Filled with veg that was freshly and crispy. My new spot!
Nice place, friendly staff, good affordable food, everything is always so tasty every time. Just unfortunately to get a carp ark us the only issue but certainly worth the walk
Simply delicious! We are big fans of Thai Sontaya in Eltham. We have eaten in the restaurant a few times, but mostly we get takeaway. Their food is consistently good and the workers are always very friendly and helpful. We love the curry puffs, Pad Kee Mow and the Kow Pad. Their prices have gone up a bit in the past couple of years, but luckily we always know the food will be yummy!
Delicious! I used to be a big fan of Sontaya in Bundoora so was eager to finally give the Eltham venue a go. Ended up ordering far too many entrees and then had to get my main meal to takeaway. Worth it though because the food was so great. Service was exceptional and considering how much food we ordered, the price was very reasonable. Will be back.
Very friendly place to enjoy a casual meal with family. Prices are reasonable and staff are very friendly. Easy parking and child friendly. Meals arrived quickly and were very good. Even desert was a treat. Would highly recommend and will go back soon.
They have the most delish food, i love the red curry, the staff is very welcoming and the food comes out pretty fast. Its my local favorite thai restaurant.
After many a take away from this restaurant, can vouch for their consistent quality. Waiting times are never excessive and the cuisine is traditional and appropriately spicy when requested. Can be a little on the oily side but flavours are exceptional. Pad Kee-mow chicken is a favourite as are the Gai Hor Bai-toey entree
We come here fairly often and really enjoy the food and the staff who are very friendly. The Thom kha soup is great and the crispy calamari is the best. Other favourites are the curries.
Great customer service!. Such lovely staff. So easy to order over the phone!
I am shocked that the best Thai food I've had in Australia is in this little gem in Eltham. Authentic, exceptional food. Lovely service. Will definitely be back.
The food hit the spot tonight! I have tried many Thai joints and whilst this isn't the fanciest to look at, the food was awesome. We ordered a Tom Kha soup to warm the belly followed by Green Curry Chicken and Chili Basil Beef....so good! These are pretty common menu items but Thai Sontaya took it to a new level. Coming back for sure.
Love everything about this place. Great Staff. Fresh tasty food. Small language barriers about the intensity of the food but nothing worth complaining about.
Love Love Love>
Keep up the great work guys!
What a delightful place TS turned out to be. The food was fabulous, as was the friendly service, making this a winner. BYO wine is ok at $4 pb. Highly recommended!
Our Favourite Thai. We always come here when we are in the area. Our favourites are Sweet & Sour Chicken and Red Curry with lots of rice! We never leave the restarant without having their Banana Fritters! Staff are always friendly and great service ;)
Fantastic food, we had the chicken which was beautiful. Service was quick and very friendly. A favorite place!
Great food and great staff. Love the food, been here for dine in 6 times and take away more than 10 times. Always great. I went there with my 4 children a couple of times and they were excellent. Thank you........
Kid friendly, cosy little place with yummy Thai food at reasonable prices. Curries can be prepared from mild & tasty up to rocket fuel so be clear when you order - especially the Tom Yum!! Yummy
Excellent food and fast service! I'll definately go back!

Absolutely delicious authentic Thai food.. Highly recommended.
Ordered from menu log last night, very delicious and they were happy to accommodate my daughters egg allergy. Will definitely order again
Tried Thai Sontaya for the first time tonight and was very happy with our choice. I had the green curry with beef and my partner the oyster beef stir fry. We also had side of roti bread and chicken skewers. Everything was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be ordering again from them. Great work!!!!
Used to work here before, i can tell ya’ll first hand that the food here is amazing. A lot of process and thoughts are put into their food, and honestly just the best thai food you can get in the area. They also serve free and delicious prawn crackers! Their Green curry is a must try and is my personal favourite.
