Sawasdeekha Thai Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Kuta

A quiet little restaurant on Jalan Werkudara in Legian Bali.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming and although their English is not great its still miles ahead of my Indonesian so no complaints from me.

Prices are very reasonable but in spite of that the food is superb

I have read a review which criticises the restaurant for not cooking ‘real Thai’. Whether or not it’s real Thai or not, is mostly irrelevant, (unless you happen to believe you are an expert)-because the food (at least what we had chicken massaman curry) is excellent.

Just an aside my son living in China has yet to see an Australian Chinese restaurant cook the same way they do in China; should we give them all a bad review??

This restaurant is well worth a try.

Everyone in my family of 6 loved their meals and the atmosphere was amazing. You sit in adorable booths covered with a hut with a fan inside! Whilst it was not as easy to get into as a normal table, it was worth it. There were also normal tables available for those who desired them. Definitely would...

Definitely not a Thai kitchen! Food was bland to say the least. The dipping sauce that came with the spring rolls tasted like boiling water with sugar, not pleasant at all. The Fishermen's soup was lukewarm and full of shell grit from the 1/2 crab that was floating in in, also very bland. The pad thai was ho-hum and we didn't even eat half of it. Restaurant itself has no vibe and is very grotty looking. We...
