  • Thai Iced Tea- Brewed Tetley with condensed milk. Served lukewarm (the ice that was added had melted before I took my first sip). Why bother, I could make it at home.

    Coconut Rice- Sickly sweet- more of a dessert than a side, full of large slices of lemongrass (which are entirely inedible, and didn't really provide much in the way of flavour, so what is the point of leaving them in?)

    Beef Salad- The worst "Thai" meal I have ever eaten. Warm-ish stir fried beef in a sticky, sweet sauce, served over a salad of shredded lettuce, red pepper, tomatoes (what?) cucumber and onion. A dried out slice of orange and a lime wedge on the side.

    No shallots? No mint? No roasted rice? (all of which were promised on the menu).

    Frankly, I don't believe the chef has any idea what this dish is even supposed to look like, let alone taste like.

    Just appalling. They may be able to pull off a decent curry, but I doubt it would be worth a return trip.

  • Order: Spicy Beef Salad, Coconut Rice, Thai Iced Tea

  • We ordered food to be delivered and it took over an hour and one half for the food to arrive. The restaurant gave us a free dish for our next order; only after we called two times. Too long to wait, especially when you're hungry.

  • Order: 2xBasil Chicken 1x Glass Noodles with chicken&shrimp 2 sticky rice

  • I have ordered taken out a couples times and eaten in their restaurent. Never dissappointed nor my friends.
    Always recommend this place as it never lets you down.
    Huge quantity, great taste,
    best prices!!
    Only thing that isnt great is if you eat in their restaurant, sitting in the tall chairs can be tight for space when manouvering between other peoples tables, best to sit in the leather booths. Otherwise, nice atmospere.
    Mmmmmm peanut chicken.

  • Order: peanut chicken: loads of nutty chicken, mangos, and variety of veggies. Rich in taste. Always leftovers for tomorows lunch. cashew nut chicken: lots of chicken & whole cashew nuts, and veggies ( green, red peppers + other) and red peppers u must watch out for. And once again, always leftovers for tomorow.
