arani thai restaurant

i tried this place out yesterday as i recently started working in thegeelongcbd. what i was presented with was a flavoursome and fragrant thai green curry and rice at lunch special prices ($10). it was hard to fault, definitely ranked high up my list and very comparable to top thai restaurants in melbourne.

really generous take away serves. we had pad thai, sweet/sour pork & veg and yum-beef. would definitely recommend if your looking for delicious thai in thegeelongarea.

new togeelongand came here for lunch. was amazed by their cheap prices that included curries and rice. ordered a red curry and penang and were pleasantly surprised. they were fast, friendly, and served great food.

tasty, friendly and fast service. we are regulars here for a reason! best thai ingeelongwithout a doubt!!!! and the deliver 👌🏼 the banquet is always a good idea!

after searching aroundgeelongfor a quick lunch, i was extremely happy we settled on eating here. the restaurant is quite small and during our visit it was quite busy which was a good indicator of a decent restaurant. the food is fantastic and good value for money. service was great, i don't often eat thai so it took a quite a while to decide on what to order. i wasn't disappointed and if i'm back ingeelongagain i wouldn't hesitate to visit again or recommend to friends and family!

i can't believe i didn't review this the night i went, i was so blown away!
best thai in geelong. fantastic value for money. what else can i say. the green curry was beautiful, i was saddened not to finish my meal as it was so delicious and i was so full! the coconut rice; divine. so moist and creamy. the spring rolls were even top notch. the vegetarian ones are usually sub par and i expect it but here , i would certainly have them again. verdict: my choice for thai ingeelongand i will be back in a heartbeat!

love that food !. my wife & i recently tried arani & enjoyed the food so much that we decided to take our friends there. we regularly dine at differentgeelongrestaurants & rate them on quality, price & service. arani provides excellent quality food at a very reasonable price. having visited thailand in the past we know what good thai should taste like- arani captures the flavours & diversity of authentic thai food-hot (temperature)-flavoursome & fresh. can recommend this place to all that like thai food :-)

a small treasure. my wife and i had a day out ingeelongthe other week and after an underwhelming coffee on the sea front, went in search of somewhere to eat.

having walked past this place we returned and were glad we did.

this was a wednesday lunch time and when we left there wasn't a spare table, which should tell you something.

to start with we had curry puffs which had the lightest flakiest pastry which married delightfully with the rich pungent satay dip. for mains we indulged in a noodle dish and a hot massaman curry. my wife was effusive about the light fresh fragrant flavours washing through her mouth whilst my curry was spiced perfectly so that my lips felt the heat but no more. this wasn't good food, this was great food.

it gets better though; the food was quickly out and the service impeccable and with a smile. this food would have been a bargain at $20 a dish, so to pay a mere $10 for each main was outstanding.

one small negative. it's ingeelongand not ballarat, and oh how i wish it were in ballarat. still, it gives us a really great excuse to head back down that way again soon.

good find. ingeelongand needed a place for a quick biz lunch. glad i found arani - good flavours at reasonable prices, well worth a try

i visit a rani at last once a month since i moved to thegeelongarea. i found it by accident and did not think it looked that impressive from the outside. i bought a lunch the first few times i went 10 dollars from a set lunch menu, brilliant value. i love the gang massaman curry. but they also do a few great stir fry dishes pad med ma muang is fantastic. everything is cook fresh. it can be quite busy at times and sometimes there is a bit of a wait but i think its worth the wait to get good quality delicious food made to order. i have been since the renovations which are not quite finished yet but is going to look so good when its all done. these guys are great, service has always been good.
if you want to try them have the lunch for 10 dollars. in the evening they have a more extensive menu but serve much bigger portions. i usually have to ask for a container to take some home. lunch for the next day sorted.

i've eaten at a lot of different thai restaurants ingeelongand in melbourne, this one seems to have much better quality ingredients, really nice variety of flavours. probably the best thai food in geelong. well worth a visit, highly recommended.

i am seriously thrown back by these last few reviews! i am there at least once a fortnight because of how amazing the food is and the staff! i can't imagine why anyone would have anything bad to say about the restaurant! food is exceptional and waitresses couldn't be nicer and more accommodating! they have great prices for such delicious tasty thai dishes. favourite place to go ingeelonghands down!!!

best authentic thai in geelong!!!. i have been to many thai restaurants ingeelongbut a rani thai is the best i've been to by far. the food was very fresh and was absolutely delicious and i know it was authentic because all the chefs were actually thai, speaking it while they prepared the meal. unlike a lot of other thai restaurants ingeelongi have been to, this made me feel like i was getting the real taste of thailand.
the restaurant itself is quite small but it creates a more personal feel and warm atmosphere. saying this, i would recommend booking on the weekends as when i went it was very busy.
overall a great night out, the staff were friendly, food was fantastic (try the tom yum and grapow)... a great night out.
