I was honestly quite disappointed in our order. Given the high ratings and relatively high prices relative to their particular market segment, I was expecting good Thai or Indian that actually tastes like something that may be served in either country. We ordered the "Thai style" prawns in garlic-pepper sauce and the spicy eggplant with onion, tomato and herbs. Both sauces tasted identical to us, and can be summed up as "generic westernized Asian", with no distinct flavour profile. This is the kind of sauce I would fully expect from a place like Chopsticks, but not from something in this price and supposed quality range. In addition, the shrimps were overcooked, and aside from the shrimp and the generic sauce, the dish contained some large chunks of onion and not much else. This is why I'm really unsure what justifies the almost 19 euro price tag on it. For reference, you can get a seafood main for 16 euros at Fotografiska, which ranks third on Tallinn's White Guide list. You can generally expect and also receive a pretty damn good dish in the 15-20 euro range in Tallinn. The deep fried eggplant in the eggplant main was fine, even interesting, but the whole dish again came crashing down because of the generic brown sauce it was served with. Both dishes came with a spicy warning, though I must admit the heat was undetectable to both me and my wife, neither of whom can be considered a "chili head" or anything even remotely like it. So all in all a very disappointing experience and I don't think we will be ordering from here again. Perhaps there are better dishes on the menu - given the ratings, I'm sure of it, actually - but why water down your menu by adding options of such...
Read moreAt Villa Thai I ordered another classic of mine- egg noodles. I was instantly amazed in the restaurant how the noodles cost less than 8 euros, tasted very well and the portion was big enough to feed two people. The meal had sufficient amounts of egg and the first impression was very good. The meal looked nice, expensive and delicious, which it was. From the aspect of food and price, Villa Thai is a favorite of mine. Although these two factors were outstanding, then the atmosphere and service were rather average. The restaurant was unfinished in some areas, such as the terrace, but otherwise was well decorated. Yet on the inside it was a bit too dark for my liking and would have not been a suitable place to get some work done. Although this is not something too negative, then I still would have liked to see a bit more of natural lighting. The service was also rather average. Nothing too special, but still good, our order was taken quickly and food served...
Read moreThis Thai restaurant is a true gem, located in a good place, interior is very nice and cozy. Service is undeniably very good. Plenty of foods to choose from, they cater something to every taste. During evenings there are belly dancers to further elevate the mood. Got to be one of the best Thai places in Estonia and without a doubt, highly recommend going there, but be sure to book a table. Bigger groups also can get a private room or a private are which had very nice design, definitely a...
