Thailander — Restaurant in London

This was a spontaneous moment as we were driving past. I'd been wanting to try Thailander for years, but it's a little out of my way.

The restaurant is huge/spacious inside and strangely unassuming from the outside. I enjoyed the decor and sense of space inside with tables not being packed in.

We ordered the mixed starter platter for 2 and were so hungry that I forgot to get a picture pre eating. It was very good value.

The main: I'd asked for a duck red curry/less spicy. It was still leaving a kick on the tongue (for those who like a bit of spice but can't tolerate it).

The waiter didn't hear our pad thai/thick noodles (ho fun) order and we had to ask for it when we'd finished eating our mains. The pad thai were a bit underdone and chewy in parts. We didn't mention it as we'd waited a while for them to arrive.

Another thing that was disappointing and not to do with the waiter but I'd knocked down half a star off for things the restaurant didn't stock which were on the menu. Such as: soft shell crab and no hot drinks/orange juice.

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be back again. At £55 including a 10% gratuity, it was a bargain for eating out in this day and...

Not entirely sure where all the 5 star reviews have come from. Red Thai curry was watery and had no background or spice flavours - it was just super sweet. Noodles with garlic, chilli and Thai basil had absolutely no flavour - just chilli heat. Oh and grease. They were the greasiest noodles ever and it’s not a fried noodle dish! No garlic, no Thai basil. Chicken was not great. Chicken money bags were clearly frozen and mass produced. Got free Thai crackers - they were stale so clearly we’re giving them away as they had gone off. We live round the corner from Thailander and in 5 years have never ordered from here. Decided to take a punt and read recent google reviews which were all good. Seriously. Again not sure where they came from . Save your money and don’t bother. Food took over an hour to be prepared and then the driver waited at the restaurant for another 30 mins. Average...

the worst restaurant ever. minus from me. i made the order 2 easy items at 7:01pm to be exact from deliveroo. when i checked on app after 40mins, the message showed estimated time is at 8:20pm. then i contact to deliveroo and they contact to restaurant regarding my order. the deliveroo said i have to wait another estimated time 30 mins. so i said to give my money back and deliveroo said to get money back is i have to call the restaurant directly. then i called to thailander, there is no one taking responsibility and they cant help with refund. then i went back to deliveroo live chat, explained everything. even the deliveroo cant sort this out. i have paid £17 for no food. now 9:11pm and NO FOOD AND NO REFUND AT ALL. the worst restaurant i have ever experienced. spechless for deliveroo service as well. deliveroo credited £5 to my account which i dont want and i dont know how to...
