A Rani Restaurant in Malop Street under the Cressy Building between Yarra Street and Office Works has the reputation of being one of the best Thai restaurants in Geelong. The food is sensational the biggest problem is knowing that you can’t try everything on the menu each visit. The Gang Sapparod is just incredible, it’s a Thai pineapple curry with coconut milk, capsicum and lime. Just thinking about makes your mouth water. The Pad Phrik with stir fried chilli paste and basil is another great option.
