Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026.
This is a short page on purpose. We could verify two Thai restaurants in and around Prahran: Colonel Tan’s Thai Kitchen in Prahran and Thai Me Up in Windsor, both on Chapel Street.
We left out anywhere we could not confirm as Thai at two independent sources, and we did not pad the list with other cuisines.
We could not read menu prices on either place’s own pages, so none are printed here. Hours below are copied from each venue’s own listing and are named as such.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |

Colonel Tan’s Thai Kitchen — 229 Chapel Street, Prahran VIC 3181
Colonel Tan’s Thai Kitchen is inside Revolver Upstairs, and the Revolver site describes the venue as “Bar, Thai Restaurant, Nightclub, Live Music, Arts”. Its site lists the kitchen as “TUESDAY TO Saturday 5pm til late”. For families, the site says the Tiny Tan’s kids menu is in place Tuesday to Saturday, and lists kids eating free before 6pm on its 3181 Locals Night (Thursdays), with conditions, so check the terms before you book. The menu on the site is an image file, so we could not copy any dish names or prices.
How to order: Read the menu on the Revolver Upstairs site before you go, as we could not read prices from it.
Thai Me Up — 135 Chapel Street, Windsor VIC 3181
Thai Me Up is at 135 Chapel Street, which is in Windsor rather than Prahran, so it sits just over the suburb line. Its site lists kitchen hours beginning Thursday 5pm to 9:15pm, Friday and Saturday 12:30pm to 2:30pm and 5pm to 9:30pm, and Sunday 5pm to 9:15pm. The restaurant’s menu uses a key that reads “V = Vegan GF = Gluten Free”, so dishes are marked on the menu itself. We could not read prices from its menu file.
Menu says: V means vegan and GF means gluten free, so look for those marks on the dish you want.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, chapelstreet.com.au, the places’ own websites and thaimeupkitchen.com.au. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
