Firstly the service is great canāt fault that.
However this is the worst quality Thai food Iāve ever had. The platter for two vegetarian tempura was full of grease. Other Thai Iāve had tempura is light no grease oil. Spring rolls were heavy greasy hardly any filling. Fried tofu was so oily.
My past Thai experience Iāve had a few, has all been good, itās light healthy freshly cooked, not this heavy oily thick battered greasy stuff.
Mains, massaman curry, too much chilli used on mine and my friends, I had vegan tofu he had beef. The flavour was not great. My tofu was so greasy again not pleasant. I couldnāt finish mine at all. If itās good I can easily finish a dish and want more.
Iāve had great massaman in a Thai chain in Spain and that was full of flavour minimal chilli, taste the coconut and cashews, but Tom yum all you got was heat from chilli on both. The roti was just pure fried grease, I couldnāt touch that it didnāt even look nice.
Also when we got home my friends stomach wasnāt good and he was sick that night and bad the next day also. It was definitely this meal that caused him to be ill.
My stomach hasnāt been great either from the greasy food the following day.
So I donāt know where all these great reviews come from as this is the worst Thai food Iāve ever had.
The best so far was a Thai place in a village in wales and in a Thai chain in puerto banus Spain, also many years ago a Thai takeaway van at craft show outdoor, her spring rolls were light covered in broccoli flower batter, so light full of vegetables, delicious, no grease from frying at all.
Youāve put my friend of trying Thai food now, with him being bad for a night and day.
If only the food matched the service. We should of complained more...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreSaw all the reviews and thought we would try this place out. Nice setting and nice decor although furniture and table linens a bit cheap for a restaurant with this decor. But that didnāt bother us as we were looking forward to the food, and what a disappointment. The poorest quality of meat I have ever tasted, had a weird taste like it was off. Iām no chef but this meat was either boiled and just added to dishes just to get customers in and out of the restaurant quickly. The prices are also really expensive for the quality of food which personally I have had better from a local Chinese takeaway and ate at home...wasnāt expecting that standard from a restaurant. I asked the waitress nicely as to why the meat tasted as it did and the reply was weāve been doing the same thing for 5 years and had no complaints. Overall bad experience and was charged way over the odds for a sub standard meal. A very...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWhile it is very unfortunate for owners and staff at the restaurant that the place has been so seriously flooded I fully understand it is completely out of their control, but couldn't anyone have found the time to inform people that had pre booked? I booked back on october 9th for November 8th you had my phone number and email address and you knew it was for a birthday meal. We drove all the way from Hatton near Burton on Trent on friday night to find the place under about four feet of water. A simple phone call or email and we could have booked somewhere else. However, I do wish the owners all the best in renovating and repairing the restaurant and getting their staff back to work as soon as possible, and I will book again and hopefully reveiw the wonderful food I have heard so much about. But for now, this was poor communication on the...
