CHAAN ฉันท์

In Paddington, Brisbane, CHAAN celebrates Thailand’s beloved balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy with confident, modern ease. The kitchen moves from wok-fire to slow-simmer, layering coconut, lime and basil into dishes that feel familiar yet compelling.

The menu is fresh and zesty, with paw paw salad in lime-chilli dressing and peanuts, smoky grilled chicken with tamarind dip, and prawns in a tangy glaze. Curries range from green curry with bamboo shoots and basil to a slow, soothing massaman with beef, potatoes and peanuts, served with steamed rice.

Noodles and rice are treated with care. Pad Thai arrives glossy with tamarind and crushed peanuts, while fried rice is tossed with vegetables, egg and a choice of tofu, chicken or prawn. Desserts provide a gentle landing, from classic mango sticky rice to house coconut ice cream served with coconut jelly and roasted peanuts.

For an easy-going meal full of flavour and balance, CHAAN sets the tone. Book a table, bring your appetite, and let the chilli do the talking.
