Tawan Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Carlisle

I am aware, and very empathic about how difficult it is to run a restaurant these daysl

We were a party of four on a Tuesday night, the only people in the restaurant. The service was unbelievably slow, our food we served, finally, but we had no napkins or utensils, and actually had to ask them to provide those for us before we could eat. I ordered the emerald salmon and it was, the furthest thing from salmon, I have ever attempted to eat

It was like rubber, tough probably frozen and unfrozen multiple times and tasteless. Plus the avocado slices that were to be part of the dish for nowhere to be seen, when I asked the waiter, who brought out two unripe avocados as a way of explaining the absence.

They’re open 7 days a week, which makes it a slam dunk on Mondays when so much else here is closed. Massaman curry is fantastic, chicken satay is out of this world. ‘Spicy’ scale is maybe a smidge higher than what we’re used to; mild is perfect for me and the medium is enough for my husband, who gets spicy everywhere else. Definitely try the tapioca pudding for dessert - and the fried bananas are pretty amazing too. Tawan is one of our...
