Bold Thai Flavours, Big City Energy

Tucked up the top end of Bourke, Bali Hai isn’t trying to transport you to Thailand—it’s more like pulling Thailand into Melbourne and giving it a bit of a polish. Think Thai flavours dialled up and remixed, all in a slick, neon-lit setting that feels part cocktail lounge, part late-night dinner party.

Where spice meets spectacle

The menu’s got plenty of heat, but it’s not all fire and flash. Sure, the chicken green curry brings the punch, and the grilled squid is a strong opener, but the kitchen’s also having fun. You’ll find kingfish sashimi with a Thai twist, and stir-fries that balance sweet, salty and sour without breaking a sweat.

Feed Me or Feast

Got decision fatigue? The Feed Me menu’s a solid bet: two starters, two mains and one side for $49pp. Got a crew in tow? Banquets for six or more start from $ 59 per person, so everyone can enjoy a little bit of everything.

Bottomless, but make it interesting

Weekend lunch comes with the option to go all-in on bottomless cocktails—no sad mimosas here. Expect riffs on Thai classics, fresh local spirits, and a diverse selection to keep things lively from the first sip to the final toast.

Good for dates, groups and that second dinner you didn’t plan

Low lighting, big tunes and dishes designed to share—it’s a crowd-pleaser without feeling like one. Upstairs, the private space handles birthdays, work parties, or any excuse to get the group together.
