Dave Hayward Can unfortunately only confirm that its totally inauthentic these days. Am sure we had a good time here a year of so ago. Feels like thai made up from local Tesco or Sainsburys ingredients Didnt dislike our food, and it actually arrived very quickly, and was hot, but it felt like another culture were just making up "Thai" because they inherited a restaurant with Thai in the name. Am sure no Thai people would put this out. Watery, buttery Thai green curry, etc. no coconut. No spice. Laab Kai (one of my favourite dishes) was cherry tomatoes, a quartered cucumber, raw red onion and some raw bean sprouts plus the chicken. As others have said more like a greek salad? It was all edible and we ate it and satisfied enough / not poisoned, but Id not order again.

Michael Finnigan Ist time visiting yesterday, we had the 3 course set menu which was very good value for £25. Cosy little pub, great service as well. Sticky toffee pudding was amazing.

Hélène C Extremely happy with the buffet menu. The plant-based options were exquisite. The area booked for us for my milestone birthday was lovely. The fireplace was a nice touch. Thank you so much!

Helen Arapi A lovely Toby carvery we found on a trip to Maidenhead. Really lovely atmosphere and layout. We had a lovely lady called Barbara who was so friendly and helpful to us and all the guests. I can see why she had so many regular customers she just had a natural way with people. Will definitely come back.

Alan Newland A restaurant like this makes me want to move to Maidenhead. Everything about it was excellent. We shared a crispy aubergine with tomato for a starter which was delicious. I had a special, which was venison and mushroom tagliatelle - superb flavour. My wife had the crab linguine which my wife loved. The service was excellent too and the whole place had a great vibe. Perhaps best of all were the prices - fantastic value. Would come here regularly if we didn’t live 150 miles away.

Hussein Mirzai One of the best restaruants in Maidenhead, the food is fragant with spices & aromas, I had a dish which was considered spicey but the flavours were well balanced & the dish was exceptional. The heat was never the main contender, the protein & sauce with the pilau rice were cooked to perfection & took centre stage. Portion sizes are very generous so beware, we could easily have had the chaat special between us & been delightfully full. If you are looking for something different & exciting, this restaurant has precisely what youre looking for. A great night, truely special.
