Not the greatest but not the worst place for thai food staff hit and miss took way to long to have food on table price of meal reasonable at best

Love Poppys, they're my 'go to' whether I want a quick meal with a friend or as take-away if I can't be bothered cooking. The food is always gorgeous, well priced, quick + easy. Nice setting for eating in also.

My favourite Thai restaurant of all. Located conveniently on the main street with plenty of parking this large restaurant is traditionally decorated and you can't go passed those big wood carved front doors. The staff is a wonderful Family of people who are so friendly and great to chat to, it's one of the reasons we go there as regulars. The service can be a little slow on a busy night as there is usually never more then two staff serving tables but in my experience your food seems to come out super quickly from the kitchen and the food does not dissappoint. I always get the pad thai and I'm never dissappointed. Fifteen dollars for a massive plate of food, you get your monies worth. If you're in the area I'd give Poppies a try.

I have visited this restaurant a number of times and will not visit the again.
The food is bad.

I was a bit disappointed when I ate dinner here last night with my partner. I had read all of the wonderful reviews and heard good things about Poppy's restaurants in the past. The first thing that proved to be a bit frustrating was that there were only two waitresses on, both who couldn't really speak English at all (which wasn't a huge issue, but still). It wasn't hugely busy for a Friday night, perhaps half of the restaurant was full? We waited 15 minutes before the waitress came and took our order, after we hailed her down. 25 minutes after we had ordered we were thinking that our entrees and mains were probably going to come out at the same time because it had taken so long already.. Another five minutes later and our entrees came out. We had the spring rolls and samosas. Both were very tasty and we were feeling a bit better about our experience. Half an hour later our mains came out (took us about 5 minutes to eat the entree, mind you). I had the Bangkok Mango Chicken which was a dish with deep fried (they say tempura but it's really not) chicken and vegetables in a sickly sweet mango sauce (which had seperated and had a yucky layer of oil on the bottom of it). I ate about 1/3 of my meal and couldn't eat any more as it was too sweet (in a bad way). My partner ordered the Beef Masaman Curry. This one was good, although we had both had better versions before. Overall we weren't too fussed as we just came for a casual meal, but had we of come here on a date we would've been quite disappointed. The service really left something to be desired as neither of the waitresses smiled at you or really seemed to care about the level of service they were supposed to be upholding. I hope this is just a one off and we were just unlucky, but if you go I would go on a week night and order a dish you know and not be experimental.

Approximate cost: $28

I love Thai food and go everywhere for it! But I always go back to Poppies either in Croydon or Healesville (the original Poppy works there!). The roti bread and coconut rice are worth their weight in gold. It's just a nice, affordable Thai meal and I love it.

Approximate cost: $15

I went to the Poppie's Thai in Healesville and when moved to Croydon had dinner there the food is Delicious and the service is wonderful. The food is not over priced either.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to! And I have been to a few! The food at Poppie's is phenomenal! The best dish I have tried there is "Anna and the King": a curry, tofu dish. The tofu is homemade and the most delicious I have ever had. The old standby: Pad Thai, is brilliant as well. In fact everything I have tried there is great!
