Sumalee

Bentleigh's long-running Thai favourite. over a decade of loyal regulars chasing the Massaman lamb.

Cosy, warmly lit neighbourhood dining room with a loyal following; several reviewers note it turns genuinely noisy when the room fills on busy nights.

BYO wine, a dedicated vegetarian stir-fry (Sumalee Garden with tofu), and a front-of-house team. Noi and Flight are named repeatedly. that's served the same regulars for years.

Mixed but largely positive: a self-identified Thai diner calls the flavours authentic with a modern presentation twist, though a few reviewers found individual dishes under-seasoned on an off night.

Sits at the higher end for suburban Thai, but generous shared-style portions and consistent quality keep regulars returning despite the price.
