arani thai restaurant

yum love this place. had really good green curry and the best coconut rice i’ve ever had. good food andserviceand i will return next time i’m in geelong.

can't fault the $10 lunch special; very generous portions, plenty of options and consistently decent thai food.serviceis quick, the small unpretentious restaurant is always clean and serves its job diligently.

often dine here for a quick lunch,serviceis sometimes good but sometimes not so great. food is yummy but flavours can be inconsistent depending on which chef is in on the day, but overall good experience and been here a few years now 👍

after searching around geelong for 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.servicewas 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 in geelong again i wouldn't hesitate to visit again or recommend to friends and family!

this restaurant is tiny and always packed of customer, their food are quite authentic, and when we order hot, it means hot, not western hot. the basil chicken good, as well as the stir fry green curry. didnt fancy the tom yum, as the taste was only salty n spicy, but the pad thai was good.servicewas excellent, totally enjoyed having lunch here :) and will definitely come back again when visiting geelong.

every time i come here the food is always delicious. my favourite place to go for thai in geelong. unfortunately the last couple of times i've been here theservicehas dropped slightly and there have been extremely long waits to get meals after ordering. still highly recommend arani for an authentic thai experience!

friendly staff and very quickserviceat arani. a very popular restaurant for both takeaways and dine-in. all our meals were authentic thai and very tasty. although gf items were not marked up on the menu, staff explained that only the stir-frys were gluten free. be warned that "hot" means verrry spicy!

delicious! a great place to go to eat superb and authentic thai food. theserviceis nothing special but if you come here for the food, you won't be disappointed. this prices are very reasonable also.

food great,servicequestionable. unfortunately on the night attended there was a large table of people near us, which meant noise levels were excessive of the duration. however we didn't let this detract from the quality of food - as good as you could expect from a thai restaurant and would recommend.servicelevels were poor with the drink order being mixed up, side plates not provided for entrees and no follow-up provided for sweets or coffee. left the restaurant a bit deflated even though food was great.

a small treasure. my wife and i had a day out in geelong the 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 theserviceimpeccable 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 in geelong and 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.

amazing! my friends and i come to arani thai most weekends! this is by far the best thai in geelong! theserviceis great, meals are delicious and fast.

love it - greatserviceand taste. we went here for dinner last night and the meals were absolutely delicious. very authentic and great service. we ordered take-away from there tonight and they gave us the wrong order. not only did they hand deliver our order to our door but we got to keep the other one. very greatserviceand will be back again. thank you

i visit a rani at last once a month since i moved to the geelong area. 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,servicehas 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.

fabulous food, fresh and tasty. really generous sized meals. theservicewas very friendly and attentive(even though they were very busy) i heard many good comment coming from other diners. will be back for sure!

sorry, but you insulted my taste buds. this place is dirty and smells worse than the food tastes/looks. my plate was dirty,i don't think they use detergent!!!

theservicewasn't bad, but we were one of the 5 people there so...

i am sad to say that i wasted my money. i wouldn't eat here again even if it was for free. the chef should stick to cheese sandwiches, as it is obvious they don't know what they are doing.
