I Love Thai in Manuka specialises in takeaway Thai food. However, it frequently offers special deals and has a small indoor seating area, if you’d like to eat in.
Service is friendly and helpful, and corkage is free, but still, there definitely is a ‘takeaway’ feel to the ambiance.
Chicken Meang entree $7.50 Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Cream $7.50
However, the Chicken Meang entree is delicious and good value at $7.50 for two large serves. Likewise the Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Cream is a delicious and generous dessert at the other end of the meal.
Stir fry Chicken in Peanut Sauce ($15.50)
Stir fry Chicken with Cashew Nuts ($15.50)
In between, the Stir fry Chicken in Peanut Sauce ($15.50) has a nice flavour and is a better pick than the Stir fry Chicken with Cashew Nuts ($15.50).
Thai Coconut Gelati $7.50 (not as good as the Black Sticky Rice)
Noodle and Fried Rice dishes, like Stir fries, are $15.50, but other dishes like Thai salads, Seafood, Curries and Chef’s Specials range from $17.50 to $19.50 making them similarly priced to other Thai restaurants better designed for ‘eating in’.
And I Love Thai is happy for any extra to be taken home to enjoy later.
