Many restaurants have tried and failed in this location. Savann has been just about the longest. I don’t get it, because the location is pretty good, across the road from the post office and very near to the station. Savann might have been successful because they have built a very loyal table of customers who seem to be there every night, they’re loud, they’re funny and they give this place some buzz.
We go relatively often because it opens late on weeknights whereas many other restaurants in Cabra still don’t (although that’s quickly changing).
The beef salad is tart and tasty, benefiting from fresh ingredients. Though, the beef was a tad tough tonight.
I’m liking the soup too, tom yum soup base with lots of offal, so avoid if that’s not your thing, but it’s really a very good dish. Check out the video to see more of the meat in this dish.
Pad Thai is easy on the palate, noodles absorbing flavours. But of course you can add additional spice, Walter does that in the video, extra dried chilli, mixed in the crushed peanuts. Pad Thai is an institution.
Savann is not the best Thai Lao in town, but it’s conveniently located and opens late.

I love offal! Well beef and chicken offal, not a fan of the pork variety really.
I wish there was some great laos restaurants in melbourne, u seem to have quite a few in sydney!
So glad there are fans of offal out there… I'm keen on all types (not too often though!).
I can't seem to find too many Thai Lao places in Melb.. but you have great African food!
Mmm, the tom yum soup ….
I go to this place all the time! I buy a stack of grilled oxtongue to last me until the next time I make it out Cabra way.
The place is Yum Jackie!
