Naam Pla Thai Take-away

We were positively surprised by the quality of the food and service that we had dinner here twice in a row. Both times we tried different foods and were very satisfied by the taste and portion. Delicious sauces to accompany dishes, not just bottled sweet chilli sauce. Loved that the plates were warmed up, great attention to detail.

I ordered a red curry chicken. The flavour was spot on, but they should call it red curry beans and bamboo, of which there was a copious amount. There really was hardly any chicken. Feeling ripped off($34!), and still hungry 😞

Comparable to Cookatoo in Melbourne, nice variety of flavors. It's only Takeaway post covid but worth having a picnic nearby. Gave it 5 stars despite not being a fully Vegan place because it has great options and the owner seems to care about quality. Pros: Flavours, Friendly owner, Generous servings

Invited here for a wonderful surprise luncheon for a dear friend. Suprises all round! The food here was exquisite; with the best combination fried rice, delectable fried chicken ribs, rice krema black coffee with all round superb, friendly customer service. Definitely a place to consider for your next meal outing.

Definatley one of our eating highlight for this short stay in Castlemaine. The place came up as local recommendation more than a handful of times, so we just have to try. We were surprised by the limited 'choose a pick up time' when ordering. Weird concept to start with but actually made so much sense when you stop to think about it. We turned up at our nominated pick up time and our order was precisely ready, without the need to hustle through the expected crowd & queue to around peak dinner time, all waiting to pay and pick up. NB. Price is at the premium end. $80+ for just two appetizers/snacks, two mains, a single serve steam rice and one roti. The quality of the food is absolutely superb, so value for money is subjective on this one. Other than the price, this could easily have been a 4.5/5 star.

Wow! Wonderful yellow fish curry! Tender juicy fresh pieces of fish in a very delicious curry. Highly recommend.

On a cold winters night, a piping hot bowl of Tom Yam Goong definitely hit the spot and the Pad Siew Ee was so delicious with beautiful fresh Asian greens. Staff were so friendly and lovely atmosphere.

The most fabulous food - we have to ration ourselves on how frequently this is the solution to our dinner dilemma! Never a bad dish. Beautiful fresh flavours, and great selection of dishes. Get in early to book your takeaway.

Tried this place for the first time. I called for delivery and while they don't always offer it, they said they could do it for me, which I appreciated. We had a sample platter for starters. The spring rolls were full and tasty. The fish cakes were delicious and just spicy enough. The green chicken curry was again spicy enough. A bit more chicken would be a nice touch but overall very good. Delivery was a bit slower than expected, however it is difficult to find our address sometimes so it is understandable. Both the person I spoke to on the phone and the delivery person were extremely friendly without being patronising. I highly recommend!

Praise be to the Thai Gods for placing this little gem in Castlemaine! My food faith in this tiny town is slowly being restored. Naam Pla has plunked itself next to the Theatre Royal smack bang in the centre of town and seems to be the go to chow for all kinds on a Summer eve. Hipsters and tattooed pensioners alike are smattered around the joint which offers both inside and outside seating as well as a bar to sit at whilst waiting for your takeaway. The menu offers more than just your average Thai takeaway around the corner would including whole barramundi with a green mango salad and Australian calamari offered as the staple seafood option for your dishes. It caters well to a sit down meal but I was in the mood to sit down at home. I ordered the beef Pad See Ew with its beautiful dark, sticky soy sauce and fresh greens ($19.50) and 4 mini chicken and prawn spring rolls ($10.00) which were nice but didn't really warrant the price tag. Overall, it was pretty tasty and I am happy that I've finally found some delicious Thai food close to home.

Brilliant restaurant with authentic Thai food that all tasted like it was made only second before hitting the table, which, like everything else in the place, was spotlessly clean. Fantastic and friendly service and attention to detail in every aspect of our experience, even the best outdoor loo we even been in.
