Very tasty food with a lot of options to choose from giving everyone a favourite of their own. The place is quite busy meaning longer waiting times for food and more preferably it would be best to pre-order your food. Ultimately, this place is has a unique Thai cuisine and has a lot to offer for a wide audience.

We usually get take away but decided to eat in last night. Will be doing that more. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. The kids had beef fried rice and roti bread, I had the Seaford curry while my husband had a noodle dish from the chefs specials. All meals were delicious and there was heaps of it. I was able to take home our leftovers and we ate them today for lunch. We're massive fans of The River Kwai!
