Kerabu

Update: 06/01/2023
I went to Kerabu with a friend again. I felt like having fish this time and asked recommendation from the staff there. She recommended Gulai Ikan as I said I would like to have something more like Malaysian style. The fish was very well cooked with nice curry flavor. Again in large portion. Initially, my friend thought $45 was too expensive for a fish dish, but after he saw the portion and had the food, he is 100% convinced it’s value for money and he’s listed Kerabu as the restaurant he will take his mom to.

Loved Char Kway Teow, chicken Satay and duck curry. All in large portions. The staffs were nice and friendly. Will go there again!

Lovely service and so delicious!

Absolutely delicious Thai food that is impeccably cooked. Great balance of flavours and well thought out menu items.

Next time I go I will probably ask for more spice/chili but this time while I was with parents it was ok!

Stand outs were the whole fried Nam phrik snapper and the red duck curry and the prawns with avocado dish.

Lovely service and great being BYO as well :)

A number of fun items on the menu..the flavours were tangy and uplifting. Entrees are fun to share and the mains were well priced. The chairs are a bit stiff but overall a good experience.

Love it, love a great Asian cafe. Well this is an awesome Asian restaurant. From the first mouth full to the final morsels the tastes were wonderful.

Upstairs feels so exclusive with many round tables for a much better dining experience.

And for those who prefer to bring their own wine it's BYO. They also have their own wine if required.

This little gem is brilliant. We met friends and did BYO and our meal cost $40pp. Seriously- not 3 courses but more than enough - the duck salad and duck curry our favs. Local treasure I'm not sure why we always try think of something new to try because Kerabu always is excellent and easy.

I really enjoyed my meal here and the fried chilli fish was superb

Red curry duck was phenomenal and very well served. Couldn’t recommend the Sang Choy Bow as an entree more. And for the spice lovers, Prawn Tom Yum is a no-brainer. BYO is also a plus with a small charge per person.

Perfect place. Food is soo good. This is the best Asian restaurant in Melbourne for now. The food gives you a fine dining feeling. If they have more liquor to choose will be better

Dine in or TAKE away this restaurant is always full and has a Constant stream Of TAKE Away cliente . Need to book, as even locals struggle to get last minute bookings. It’s our go to restaurant, Since For ever. Our kids have loved it Since They were young( exquisite taste buds) now young adults its our favourite. You Will literally rarely be disappointed, unless you can’t get a boling. The Quality is great Of produce is delicious and staff genteel. So many recomendations on the the menu l’d be here All day.

Best kept secret in Melbourne until now. Hope l can get a seat tomorrow for 7 people. Ceceilia.

Wow! This place is so delicious! We went with 2 couples and tried multiple dishes, they were all amazing! Special mention to the San Choi bao, Tom yum soup, green chicken curry & duck curry. Plus it’s BYO for wine. Highly recommend!

Have dined here many times and this restaurant has never missed a beat food wise. Always of consistent high quality. One occasion with a very large group we had the banquet was exceptional. Fresh, clean flavours, beautifully cooked & generous servings. Service can be hit or miss depending on how busy the restaurant is. Highly recommended.

My partner and I came here with his grandparents. We all really enjoyed the food. The service was friendly and attentive. It was a little noisy at times but it was also 7pm on Saturday evening, so to be expected. We had the prawn tom yum soup, sesame duck and the Malaysian fish curry. I find that the meat and vegetables they use are always very good quality.

Great venue, great food and service, always very busy. Need to book to be sure you enjoy Kerabu. Linda the hostess fantastic as is the entire experience

Great food. We sat upstairs which was terrific. Will definitely be going again

Not heavy just really tasty. Really good value, The food here is not your average Thai takeaway, We had the banquet menu and it was awesome!! I loved it all especially the red duck curry!! it is fresh and delicious. sooo much food!! Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff at this restaurant which sets the whole vibe when coming in, we ordered the avocado prawn crackers as entree which were absolutely delicious and fresh. For main we got the MMM Gai chicken which was 7/10 and the pad Thai which was very yummy. The mains thing to take away from this place is the attentiveness of the staff and the great hospitality received, the food was also delicious and full of flavour. We asked for the chilli sauce because we love our chillies and the fish sauce with chilli was icing on the cake.

Consistently excellent food, very authentic (we lived in Malaysia for 5 years) and extremely reasonably priced. Their takeaways are great, and dining in is always a pleasure - lovely service and very nice ambience. BYO a bonus. Highly recommend!

Kerabu has been a staple for us and for many other Malvern families for years, and has never failed us. The seasame duck and Javanese eye fillet are mandatory, and our neice found the red curry pumpkin and tofu to be a great dish catering to her vegetarian preferences

So impressed with the quality, freshness and depth of flavour in every dish we have purchased. Last Wednesday evening was the second time we ordered & collected food from Kerabu and we were just as pleased as the first time. Excellent work Kerabu, keep it up. Reliable dishes, great service, and so delicious.
