What can l say? Great food, fantastic service, reasonably priced and cool ambience. Definitely be back!!
Thank you to the Chef and staff for making my night a great night.
Wow! What a neighbourhood gem! A great discovery indeed. Sensational tasty dishes. Not your normal suburban Thai cafe. Quality of their offerings is worthy of a classy Thai restaurant. Malvern, Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Caulfield, Glenhuntly have their fair share of Thai eating places and we have been to 90% of them. Ped's Kafe we now rank No.1!!!
Everything was very extravagantly presented. I would really like to go back and try more because that curry was amazing and I feel like all the others would be quite good as well. And you can bring your own wine. Skip the eggs though.
The food was amazing for a price that won't murder your wallet. Very different from many hype Thai restaurants and I somewhat prefer this style more. No crazy crowds, no crazy interior, just food.
The food is sooo delicious and beautifully presented. My favourite dish is the spicy lamb which I recommend, it is so spicy (which I LOVE) , it might be a little overpriced but the taste makes up for it!!! The service was great, the staff were really kind and friendly, I even got mentos from them after the food was paid. My only problem is that they should open earlier. I always crave that spicy lamb dish ;(
You will find Ped's Kafe in an unassuming part of East Malvern but dining here is a culinary experience that won't break your credit card. I am ordinarily a lover of Thai food and this restaurant met my sweet spot when it comes to flavour combinations (sweet, salty, sour and bitter) and presentation.
My table had 10 guests. To make life easier we ordered the buffet which had a wide selection of dishes including prawn and beef skewers, yum beef salad, tom yum soup and lamb shank. My favourite was the seafood green curry that was served inside an actual coconut and the pad thai. The salads were fresh, stir fried greens were tender and seafood outstanding.
The decor of the place is nothing too flash but serve was friendly and efficient. We left totally satisfied with four container worth of leftovers. Totally recommend this place!
Chill Thai restaurant (3.8 ⭐)
Ambience:
The place is pretty nice, good space between tables and definitely has a laidback environment.
Service:
Staffs were all really friendly, we came with one of the staff so couldn't say much about it.
Food:
Dumplings were small so it fits in your mouth, easy to eat. Pretty good taste wise, though not special or fancy. Came with a vinegar sauce.
The fried calamari was the bomb. Was so well fried and so moist but bouncy and crunchy outside! The sauce was so good.
Massaman beef curry was pretty generous. The beef was very flavourful and it tasted a little bit like Indonesian rendang, that being said the meat was a bit though. The curry itself was a good balance of spicy, sweet and salty, definitely nutty and also containeed some steamed potatoes and peanuts, though it tasted unlike other massaman I've had so I'm not so sure whether that's a good thing or not.
Siam Kasat was also enjoyable. Prawns had good texture, fried calamari was well fried, vegs on top ave a refreshing touch, i like the flavourful sauce.
The lamb shank was yummy, lamb itself was tender, could be more tender though. Flavor was similar to a curry. Came with some mushrooms and peas.
Fried barramundi was served in two big fillets, so you have to cut it up. It's well fried, and I love the sauce that came with it, only thing that I had to point out was that the meat was a tad bit dry. Overall enjoyable, and you also get some stir fried greens and picked veggies.
Stir fried beef with broccoli and string beans was quite good. It's bit on the salty side without the sour, with just a hint of sweet. Beef was pretty tender and veggies were crunchy. Portion was decent.
The coconut ice cream was pretty yum, it wasn't too sweet and definitely wasn't sickening, it was not very smooth/creamy though.
Coconut rice was fragrant.
Price: decent pricing
YUM: fried calamari, lamb shank, siam kasat
NAH: none

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Melbourne. The flavors of the basil stirfry, the special crispy chicken and coconut rice are amazing. I wouldnt waste my money going to overhyped restaurants like chin chin- the service at peds far outweighs any other thai restaurants I've been to in Melbourne!
Small, cozy place that gives you yummy food with classy presentation! Just the right amount for a satisfied tummy. Close to home so wouldn't mind making it our regular Thai place! Was a tad bit too pricey but I guess that's compensated for in taste and quality. Give it a try people of Malvern East locality!
Celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday here and couldn’t ask for a better place! Great atmosphere and decor! The good was fantastic - highly recommend the lamb shanks curry, green curry in a coconut and the chicken satay skewers! Very tasty and looks aesthetically pleasing! A great value for money as well as the bill came in significantly less than what i was expecting. Thank you for a great and memorable meal :)
Been there with lots friends. The restaurant place is not big and located in the corner block. The food was ok and just on the average level, but all the dishes with the shredded carrots and cabbage as the side. Appetisers like spring rolls, parwns, curry puffs are not really recommonded.
The calamari appetiser was awesome. They have gluten free options and they know exactly which plate has gluten (sometimes is hard to find somebody to really understand what gluten means). Our food was very good but not extremely good. However, the portions were massive and the food came really fast. Great and friendly staff. Definitely we will come back.
Amazing foods , superbly delicious, friendly service and great vibes every time.one of my favourite Thai restaurants.
Awesome food and friendly staff! Highly recommend the lamb shanks! Will be back!
Outstanding meals and helpful, friendly staff. The food is always well presented and tasty
Absolutely delicious. Beautiful presentation. Bright flavours. Highly recommend!
Food is always a 10/10. Best Thai food I've ever eaten.
Best / most authentic Thai restaurant I have been to in the eastern suburbs.
The taste is incredible, the dishes are also very well presented, it's become our favorite local eat!
