YourThai Cafe

Our usual place was closed so we took a chance on a review site. It paid off. This small restaurant is on a busy inner city road and we drove past it at first. There’s only about 8-10 basic tables and the menu is small but the quality is excellent. Everything on the menu is authentic and freshly prepared. The kitchen is open and the chefs were busy busy busy. The waitress was just the right level of attentive without being intrusive and there was a steady stream of customers picking up their takeaways. Everyone was greeted well and attended to. The staff are all friendly and keen to assist. The place isn’t licensed but that’s not an issue as it’s the food that is the draw. We had the cashew nut special starter. Loved it. I rate Thai on the soup, get that right and you know you’re on to a winner and this was spot on. The perfect balance of spice and flavour. We had 2 starters 2 mains and shared the home made ice cream. Delicious. The whole lot was under £40 which is a bargain. By the time we left, all the tables were full. Service was fast and the tables cleared and cleaned quickly. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for atmosphere is simply because there is such a demand for takeaway that although small, it doesn’t have the intimacy- but it was absolutely worth the 45 minute trip. I will definitely be back and I wish I’d known if the place sooner. A real gem of a place and I can’t wait to go back.
