Erawan Thai Bar & Restaurant

Treat your tastebuds to an authentic Thai experience at Erawan Thai! Serving up fun and fiery Thai cuisine for over 20 years, owners Phil and Yupaporn bring the true taste of their country to Christchurch’s doorstep.

Whether you love spicy tom yum soup, silky curries or flavoursome noodles, there’s something for everyone at this family-owned restaurant. Combining locally-sourced produce and premium meat with authentic spices and ingredients from Thailand, their kitchen creates mouth-watering dishes that showcase their country’s best flavours. Be sure to try their most popular dishes, like the carefully spiced gang massaman curry with crushed peanuts (typical of south Thailand), or enjoy a fresh stir fry with seasonal vegetables, like the pad prik khing (chilli, ginger and coconut cream sauce). Vegetarians will love the abundance of choice (green curry with tofu is always a winner), plus there’s a range of gluten-free and dairy-free dishes to keep the whole table happy.

Expect a warm welcome and friendly service to match your tasty meal at Erawan Thai, ideal for both die-hard Thai food fans and first timers! Found in Shirley, just 10 minutes drive from Christchurch city centre.
