Some of the best Thai food I have ever eaten and one of my absolute favourite places to buy lunch or dinner from when visiting the Copper Coast. Great variety of dishes and the portions are great (even if you’re sharing with multiple people). Lovely service as always and I look forward to eating here many more times in the future!

One word WOW. Ive recently moved up to Moonta from the big smoke and this food is easily better than many Thai takeaways I had in Adelaide. The veggies are fresh with crunch and noodles soft and tasty. The value is great too. Even the dim sims are served on a bed of veg and dressing as opposed to a greasy bag of food. The chef is so nice, friendly and remembers her customers. She's so lovely! Excellent work Aranya Thai :)

Friendly service, beautiful fresh vegetables. The menu is varied and offers a lot of different types of Thai food. Bless them both. I saw a review on here that said the kitchen hand was unfriendly. She is not. She is shy. Be kind please with your comments. Wonderful food, people and service."Khop Khun Krap" (ขอบคุณครับ)

The food is to die for, so much flavour and cooked fresh. The staff are friendly. My only thing negative that I have to say which has nothing to do with food or service is the seating area could do with a face lift. Like umbrellas over the makeshift tables as there is no shade at all. A big sign so people could see what's too offer instead of trying to figure out what the red caravan is?? If they spent a little bit of time fixing up seating area this place would be VERY popular with the tourist, yet the seating area REALLY make this little gem unattractive to people driving by sadly. I REALLY enjoy there food though, so definitely will go back but will just take my food to the local park to enjoy with the family

“ Almost” worth driving from Adelaide just for the fresh and delicious Thai food experience. Easily on par with some 5 star restaurants in Adelaide we have been to. Great friendly service. Don’t judge a book by its cover…… We’ll be back!! Gavin and Smaroula x
