“ We popped in on the off chance for some lunch and we’re so glad we decided to give it a try! As far as we’re concerned it is the best Thai we have had and we will definitely be back! We shared the squid & dumplings to start and had a Beef noodle curry and Chicken Thai Basil fried rice and WOW it was so yummy! Thank you to Finlay & the team who made the visit so enjoyable! ”
“ Food as always was absolutely fantastic. Service could have been better but when I came to leave a tip they wouldn’t accept due to their slow service time. Fantastic gesture and will definitely be back. ”
“ The building is beautiful inside. Staff from the front desk to upstairs on the floor are lovely and warm and welcoming. I had my birthday meal here for the first time visiting and I loved it. They also gave me a free Prosecco with a wee card and came out with a happy birthday small cake with a candle, it was just so thoughtful and nice!! Highly recommend. Food was top notch absolutely amazing and so was their cocktails!! ”
“ My mate and I visited here during a long weekend in Glasgow. Was the best meal we had while here. As you come in you enter the lobby with a cool elephant and chanderlier and greated by staff. We had a seat and were then promptly escorted upstairs to the dining room, which is big and open. The background music was quite dance type, which you wouldnt expext in a resturant but it was quiet and worked well. My mate had a chicken green curry with sticky rice, which was very good with nice spicy heat. I had the beef noodle curry which was great. Beef was cooked well and fell apart. The noodles were thin and think it would be nice with big thick ones to soak up the curry sauce. It was the lowest level of spice and gave a nice little heat The prawn crackers were good with sweet chilli sauce served in a scollop shell. Staff were very freindly and served us promptly. Would highly reconmend. The food and two vodkas was 71 quid including an optional 12.5% tip was decent value. ”
“ Just happened upon this spot in the rain and what a nice treat. i had the grilled steak and it was awesome. A bit on the pricey side at just over 100 GBP for two ”
“ Amazing interior decor, very friendly table service by Linda alongside tasty high quality Thai food, the best I’ve tried in the UK. ”
