Mana Thai — Restaurant in Franklin

I visited this place with my family after checking about it from Google Maps, which had very high ratings. We were excited to try it, and ordered Pad Thai, Thai fried rice, green curry, and a chicken salad. The Pad Thai, fried rice, and green curry were all quite excellent. However, I needed to order an extra plain rice for the curry and also the chicken salad had a strange and unpleasant smell, making it inedible. My family and I couldn’t eat much of the salad, and it seemed to be due to the fish sauce used in the salad, which had a truly nauseating odor. This dish caused me to lower my overall rating of the food. Additionally, when dining at the restaurant, I noticed that the plates and utensils didn’t seem very clean, and the male staff member at the counter didn’t give a friendly impression. As a result, I also lowered my rating for the atmosphere...

So a newish offering in Clarks Beach for cuisine.

I love Thai food and Mana Thai does not disappoint.

We have a mix of vegetarian and carnivores in our dwelling, Mana Thai has something for everyone.

All your traditional Thai favs are available. Red green yellow curries, pad Thai etc.

Having lived in Thailand I have high expectations of Thai food, I was not disappointed.

I like 'pet pet' meaning spicy!! Proper spicy, it was bang on.

The Massaman lamb curry is delicious, highly recommend. Also the Mana red duck curry was a favourite in our house.

Great vege spring rolls, green tofu curry for the win.

Flavours are bang on , great authentic Thai food. Service with a smile, reasonably quick.

It seems to be popular with the locals and it's easy to see why .

Best Thai food I've had in a long while.

You won't be...

New Thai place in town so ordered chicken salad, spicy pork and mixed entrée tàkeway which came to $57. Honest review.. I thought the flavours were nice and dishes cooked ok however what I thought would feed three people was only a good meal for one. The spicy pork was $26.50 which was ridiculous for a few bits of pork and some vegetables in a plastic tray and I'm sorry to say; in my view it was very poor value for money. Extractor fans were inadequate with steam and cooking smells billowing all through the seated area. Place was busy with one and a half hour wait time. Local places survive on the loyalty of locals. Hope you are successful but don't think I will be back...
