“ First time in Cheltenham and was looking for a Thai place for dinner - first went into the The Vine but was ignored so went up the road and found this restaurant. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted, warmly welcomed, and seated at a lovely table for one. The ambience and decor is just splendid here and there's a feeling if unpretentious class so I didn't feel uncomfortable not having dressed up. Tom yum soup for starter with plump mushrooms and a generous serving of 5 king prawns. The broth was spicy and hot which was surprisingly refreshing. The tofu Pad Thai for mains was filling, piping hot and well cooked. Compliments to the chef. I heard a number of other diners praising their meals too. And one of the customers when leaving hugged the lady host... The whole place has such a lovely feel to it. Highly recommended. ”
“ Incredible experience, wonderful service and even better food!! I've been here twice since the refurb and both times have exceeded expectations. All of the staff are super welcoming and chatty. Every dish was super tasty- definitely the best Thai I've had in and around Cheltenham. My second visit was on my birthday and the team went above and beyond to make it a special night, going as far to adding decorations to our table and even a birthday cake. Cannot thank you all enough for a perfect birthday celebration and will be recommending you to as many people as possible. Many thanks Rachel ”
“ Having been to Thailand many times and travelled around the whole country, I know good Thai food. This restaurant has new owners and I can honestly say that this is the most delicious and authentic Thai food I have eaten outside of Thailand. It's very reasonably priced and the staff (Adam and Chef Mo) are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning. ”
“ My wife took me here as a treat, Had chicken Satays as a starter, I then had duck/beef teriyaki with boiled rice,and a couple of Chang beers very nice ”
“ Turned up for an early Saturday lunch and were instantly welcomed. The food was stunning! Even 1 very fussy child enjoyed his pad Thai and oyster sauce stir fry. We ordered for the table to share and needlessly worried it wouldn’t be enough but the potions are very generous and left very happy and full. Our 9 yr old is already asking to come again ”
