RAI D’OR THAI-CUISINE TAKE-AWAY SERVICE

Some time ago, some of our friends told us how much they had enjoyed a Thai-cuisine meal in Salisbury’s Rai d’Or pub. They recommended we should try one also but we never got around to it before the ongoing lock-down started. So, we tried a home delivery meal instead.

When pre-ordering our meal, we found that the Thai reception staff of the Rai d’Or were pleasant, polite and patient – essential, if like us you are an OAP who is unfamiliar with Thai cuisine. We ordered a small selection of starters. For our main course, we ordered a selection of chicken, pork and prawn dishes both stir-fried and curried with jasmine rice. We were most impressed that the Rai d’Or catering staff were most willing to deal with dietary requirements such as gluten-free and mild curry tastes very successfully. Our order was delivered promptly, politely in individual polystyrene containers carefully packed within a larger container so it was hot and unspilled on arrival. As we were unfamiliar with Thai cuisine, it would have been helpful if the containers were labelled.

Neither ourselves nor our guests had tasted Thai cuisine before. We all enjoyed the subtle tastes of the carefully-cooked diverse-range of reasonably-generous Thai food throughout our meal and thought well worth repeating our experience. We thoroughly recommend that Rai d’Or Thai-cuisine take-away service to you. We think that it is one of Salisbury’s hidden gems.

On a wet and cold September evening, the fact that the Rai d'Or is just 2 minutes walk from the Brown Street car park is a huge plus.

Enetering the Rai d'Or always feels like meeting up with an old friend as there's a always a warm welcome and the lovely smell of Thai food.

If eating at the Rai d'Or I have to have one of the thick curries and this evening I went for the thick fish curry. The fish was lovely and flaky and the thick curry sauce is just superb with a lovely complex/deep flavour with just the right amount of heat.

Some of the red wines can be ordered as a 1/2 litre carafe and we went for the Chilean Merlot which went very well with the food.

As always the service was great and the food appeared quite quickly and it was a great...

Having recently moved into Salisbury we decided to try Rai D'Or but will not be returning. The worst restaurant experience in my life. Very bad waitress service. She was so rude whilst we were placing our order and when I asked if the chef could put chilli in my noodles she said she can bring me the pot of chilli powder for me to add it myself! I then asked her to ask the chef if he had fresh or dried chillies and on her way to the kitchen she slammed her order book down on the bar. We found this a very rude and bad attitude towards a customer so we left the premises, will not be returning or recommending...
