Sawadee Thai Taste — Restaurant in Stoke-on-Trent

Myself and my husband visited after seeing a facebook post by a friend remarking on how good the food was at this hidden gem. When we initially arrived the restaurant was actually locked. Apple, the owner, eventually arrived and let us in. The setting wasn’t the cleanest with a few dead flies in the sills and a little dusty and to be honest I am very fussy where I dine, so it was a little off putting… But, Apple was so sweet, super friendly and fantastically attentive bringing out such amazing dishes, we soon didn’t care. She made us feel like we were guests in her home. We were the only ones there the whole night and she honestly treated us like royalty. The food was authentic fresh and to die for and I’ve not tasted food better or had a better dining experience ever since.

It was one special evening that we will and have never forgot. We tell everyone about it. So thank you Apple. You are amazing.

We will definitely be back...

Having spent a lot of time in Thailand travelling I must admit I was left disappointed. The lady Apple sounded very friendly when we booked but was less interested once we were in the restaurant, the other lady was very friendly, but her English wasn't 100%. We started with Chicken Tom Kha soup and two portions of Chicken Sate. The Tom Kha soup was missing real flavour, unfortunately a little bit to watery for my liking, the Sate was nice however. The Mains unfortunately were a big let down, we had the Chicken Thai Red and Massaman Curry did not taste like Massaman and the Thai Red missed that spice you would expect. The noodles with my mains was quite nice but the coconut rice did not taste of coconut.

Quite disappointed I must admit, we went based on the reviews, but not...

Fantastic place to eat, I’ve visited Sawadee on numerous occasions over the years. It’s unique and the owner apple is very quirky, each trip has been an experience.

Apple is very friendly and welcoming, she always makes an effort to make you feel special. The restaurant is cosy with a small bar, The food is lovely, full of flavour and the portion sizes are good too.

If you’re looking for one of those mainstream Thai restaurants that tastes more like Chinese then this isn’t the place for you however if you want authentic Thai food and a really good night then you’ll love it here.

Apple is full of stories from her homeland and has such a lovely, bubbly, funny personality. She really knows how to turn a meal out into...
