Thai Aroi — Restaurant in Los Alcázares

This was probably one of our worst food experiences in Spain. The food was awful. Ordering wine was so difficult - white house wine ordered, rose was delivered, on pointing out it was not white the waiter went back inside and returned to say “we have no white house wine. We had some milk shakes, Mango & Avocado, they were absolutely awful, they were like wallpaper paste - thick, and almost tasteless and even with the unbelievably wide plastic straws so difficult to suck up. We did notice another couple who appeared to be friends of the waiter actually left their shakes when they left still more or less full.

The starters were not good. On placing each order we were asked did we want it “spicy”??? One dish (No 3 Moo Tod Grob)) deep fried “crispy” pork belly turned out to NOT to be crispy or belly pork (as has been pointed out by other customer reviews) but like “boiled”and also tasteless - when this was pointed out to the waiter when asked was the food ok the owner’s husband came out and showed the picture and description on the menu - he was not happy, took the half eaten serving (dish) away and that was it - no replacement or apology. The Satey (No 8) was just a few flattened pieces of chicken and looked absolutely (just like ALL the other photos on the menu) nothing like what was ordered/expected. The other two starters we similar in either tasteless, unless dipped in a sauce.

The main courses were also unbelievable poor. The Thai green curry was the worst I have ever seen or in many years of eating Thai green curry around the world especially in different areas of Thailand. It looked just like used washing up water. It had a few pieces of chicken and a few bits of green vegetables with hardly any (if any) coconut milk in it, just water. As I said never seen anything like that before. The Pad Krapao (No 13) was once again nothing like the photo, and the salt was so bad that non of us were able to finish it and left 50%. The plain rice was small and served on a small side place and had to be used to “bulk up” the Thai Green curry water which it did not really do.

Since the discussion with the owner’s husband we were never asked how the food was. When we asked for the bill there was no comment or apology for the dishes that were not finished just the bill (100€ !!!!!)

This is the 1st and only time that our friends and ourselves had been to this restaurant. We live full time (and have done for many years) in this region and this has got to be the worst food we have had. The lack of professionalism and even interest in the customers was so surprising.

We did not read the reviews until returning to our homes later that evening but can see that we were not the only people to experience what we have. It is also noticeable that once this is read by the owner she will say that she does not want us to return to her restaurant - well just to let her know in advance that neither we or our friends will be returning ever, and also some neighbours spoke to us this morning as they knew we were going last night and had not been to Thai Aroi and were thinking about it with their friends - well not now - so that is a total of 9 people who will not be visiting this restaurant.

Have taken a screenshot of your reply. Running a resturant as a “hobby” says it all. Still next time we are in the area we will call in for a Region of Murcia Complaint Form (Hoja de Reclamaciones) and move this and some other issues forward with Ayuntamiento de...

Wherever we go on holiday we always go on the hunt for a Thai restaurant, saw the reviews on this place so thought we’d give it a go. I must say I was a little disappointed, the crispy pork belly to start wasn’t crispy and wasn’t pork belly, was more like gammon, the spring rolls were really nice. I was craving a papaya salad and unfortunately they didn’t have any so had a larb instead, ordered a pork, it wasn’t pork, it was chicken, flavours were decent though, the prawn green curry was very watery and lacked in flavour but had lots of really nice big prawns in it. , ordered red stir fry but an curry came out, that was actually nice. The sticky rice was really under cooked so had hard pieces of rice. If you’re really craving a Thai then this will satisfy but if you want proper Thai food then prepare to...

I walked past this place a few days back and decided to try it out for lunch today. I can say it wasn't disappointing either. The Food and Service were definitely on point, I opted to sit outside as it was reasonably warm and shade was provided from the sun. There's ample seating inside also. I had my favourite Thai dish of Padthai King Prawn and it tasted original with the correct ingredients and not some kind of touristy imitation. Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely...
