Mon Thani - Canberra

Browsing around the Malls in central Canberra after a morning of sight seeing, we noticed a stream of people crowding into a small café on Petrie Plaza. We selected two dishes each from a range of 9 available, served with rice at the bargain price of $8 each. We waited a few minutes for a table to clear and sat to enjoy vegetable, beef and chicken curries- all tasty, and stir fried minced beef which carried quite a punch. While we ate there was a steady stream of people in and out buying either take away or meals to dine in- not surprising given the tastiness of the food and the price. Would recommend for a quick lunch on the go.

For a quick cheap meal in winter this is the place to buy. The food is pre made and the service is quick. Whilst there is only a handful of dishes to select from they are full of flavour. The staff are always friendly .

I really enjoy this small Burmese restaurant. The owner/chef, her daughter, and their staff are very kind. They offer a great variety of delicious dishes with lots of flavors. The setup of the restaurant reminds me of a Thai street food market or cafeteria. The $8 for two selections with steamed rice is a great value for dining in or taking out. It's a shame they're not open at night, because I would definitely be a regular customer.

Found yourself short on cash but still looking for something tasty and exotic? If so then this could be for you. Located in the city near the carousel diners are offered the choice of any two of eight spicy Thai treats with rice for only $8.

My friend and I have been going to this cafe for lunch for at least 2 years. We generally go there twice a month. The food is very tasty and enjoyable. It is very nice Thai food. They have a very good selection of curries. Service is always excellent. It is value for money and I would be happy pay at least 25% more. The quality also has been very consistent.
