Part of the same family as Magic Mountain and Cookie, Colonel Tan's offers sensational thai food in an unique venue (revolver). I recommend getting in early and enjoying some of the authentic Banksy artwork on the intentionally delepadated walls, rumoured to be worth well into the millions. Having gone here a few times I'll usually start with the Popcorn Chicken, Garlic, Chilli Lime Mayo and tonight was no different, always good. My partner opted for the Cashew Salad with Tomato, Cucumber, Chilli Coriander which is very tangy and tasty. She also went with the Potato Pea Curry Puff, which were saved by the zesty sweet dipping sauce. <br/ <br/ Mains were the Penang Lamb Curry and Coconut Rice...
Went for an early dinner here for an anniversary of sorts. Had previously been and liked our meal but not loved it. This time we were treated to really lovely traditional Thai food. The table setting would make you think twice about even sitting down and ordering but don't be fooled the food is great. We opted for Taro dumping and lamb cigars both faultless. Followed up with Penang lamb curry and chilli chicken which had some really serious heat, but having had that dish in Thailand it was very very close to the one we had. The service was polite enough and a bit hipster to boot. A very relaxing ambience and great food to match.
Went here last night with a friend from her recommendation. I thoroughly enjoyed every meal we ordered. We ordered green curry, fat duck noodles, deep fried pork ribs some roti bread with curry sauce. This was plenty for 2 people we could've omitted the roti bread but let's be real it's roti bread! Everything was delicious, flavoursome and spicy. Absolutely no complaints. Our waitresses were super friendly.Our bill came to $86 (I ordered a cocktail) which I think was more than reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back here again!
Who would think you could eat a decent modern style Thai dish at Revs?! Look the venue is abit seedy, retro style, old but still has cool vibe. The food makes up for any doubts you have about the venue. Good food at an affordable price. Staff were friendly and on the ball, food came out at a reasonable time. Don't expect to be blown away but still worth a visit, very intriguing!

We followed SBS food channel to this Nice hidden modern Thai restaurant on Chapel Street. Friendly staff, lovely warehouse style. We ordered deep fried snapper, calamari and red duck curry. They all taste good especial the red duck curry. Much more better than the other called “Thai” restaurant-Chin Chin. The downside is the price is bit high for the portion of the food.
Decided after browsing Deliveroo to try something different and found Colonel Tan’s. I was curious when I saw Bangkok bolognese and was not disappointed, so many different flavours going on and was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to order again to keep sampling this menu!
Best dish: Penang curry! We loved this dish! We have been here 3 times for that. Everything has been great including cocktails. The only negative it was last time the curry was a little bit different. Hope it was only a bad day, we will be back.
Nothing better than walking in to the fresh scent of revolver. Love it there on a Sunday, it’s not bads. Food is terrific, enjoyed the company and the scenery. Also the crab is really nice.

Love coming to Colonel Tan, great family dinner, relaxed atmosphere. Some of the best Thai food in Melbourne. Staff always friendly and great with the kids
I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was incredibly delicious. The only reason I didn't rate this higher is because of the poor service.
