48th wedding anniversary meal with friends, food was delicious as usual! This is the 2nd year we have had our anniversary meal here, so good that we have to come back! Sad that we weren't able to eat outside due to the rain as the outside eating area is lovely! We'll be back in December to celebrate my daughter's special birthday!

I visited Blue Orchid for my birthday, hoping for a memorable experience, but I left feeling thoroughly disappointed. The restaurant is a 30-minute drive from where I live, but I had chosen it because of the beautiful terrace with a water feature, which looked like the perfect setting for an outdoor meal. Since it was late September, I made a booking for noon, specifically requesting a table outside to take advantage of the warm weather. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were told that the terrace wasn’t open, not because of the weather, but simply because the staff "couldn't be asked" to serve outside. This was extremely frustrating, as I had made the outdoor seating request clear in my booking and also because there were only 3 tables occupied in the restaurant. I would not have chosen to drive that far or asked my friends to join me if I had known we’d be seated inside. Despite my protests, all I received was a polite apology, but no real effort to accommodate my request. The food itself was very average. We ordered e.g. a Seafood Platter for two as a starter, but it tasted like something from the frozen section of a supermarket, deep-fried without any care. It didn’t reflect the flavors I would expect from Thai cuisine. My main course, a red Thai curry, was decent but unremarkable and left me still feeling hungry afterwards. The only redeeming moment was when they brought out a complimentary dessert to acknowledge my birthday, which was a thoughtful touch. However, the overall experience left much to be desired, and I won’t be returning. It was an unfortunate way to spend what should have been a special day.

Visited Blue Orchid this evening sitting at the top, in the garden above the pond. The atmosphere and ambiance were second to none, the food was exceptional and the staff well and truly looked after us. In my opinion Blue Orchid is the best in the Milton Keynes and surrounding area, will most definitely be re visiting asap10/10 in everything…..

Fifty minute drive today Tuesday for lunch to find it closed, despite website advising to the contrary. If they cannot be bothered to keep their website factual what attitude to customer service do they have in their restaurant?

After searching online and seeing the posted photos we decided to give this place a go. As a group of 7 people, to make payment easier we all decided on the set menu option. The food was tasty but arrived in sharing bowels, portions sizes were mean. Taking food felt uncomfortable as there was not enough to go round. Even rice, which costs pennies, was on short supply. We had a Mcdonalds on the way back home . We will not be returning here again, unless we are all on restricted calories!

We came to this restaurant on saturday 3rd august .We were a party of 6 and we were given a lovely table in the garden at the rear of the restaurant. For those of you that havent been here before ,this is a really authentic Thai experience that becomes even more spectacular when the sun goes down and the lights go on . The food is amazing ,service attentive (even though the place was packed ) and we all agreed that we had a great night boosted by the amount of wine we consumed !!! When the bill arrived we were all amazed at the real value for money we had received. To add to this I left my quite expensive sunglasses when we left but on returning next day they had found them and kept them aside for me. I personally feel this is one of the best restaurants in the area and you dont just go there for a meal you go for the experience. Highly recommend !!

Booked table for 7 adults. We all decided on the fixed menu as it seemed good value. The dishes were served in sharing bowls, the meat dishes shared between 3 would bearly feed a single person. And the rice portions were even less, this made for a uncomfortable experience not wanting to take more food. We had a McDonald's on the way home (and it was satisfying) The restaurant is nice with a calm relaxing atmosphere shame they feel cutting back on portion sizes will bring customers back! I won't be a returning customer.

I really like this place. Located just in between bedford and Milton keynes. The food is of the highest quality. I really enjoyed the chicken skewers also green Thai curry and jasmine rice. They also do a nice Thai drink. There is parking but if it's busy you might have to park on the road.

Have dined here a number of times with my family and every time the food is fresh and delicious. Honestly we’ve had a good part of the Thai menu so I couldn’t list every dish. (Never tried the Indian food) The stand out ones for me though are: - The chargrilled duck - Prawn tom yum soup - Sizzling plate steak although this has a tendency to arrive overdone whenever we ask for it medium rare. The flavour is incredible though. - Sweet and sour prawns. I’m not sure if there is a new chef, because everytime we’ve been, the taste of this has been great but the batter of the prawns tends to fall off. Our most recent visit a couple of weeks ago, the batter was much much better and didn’t fall off. I don’t really choose to have dessert here because most of them are the pre made ones. The chocolate fudge cake was a bit dry, it’s a good job it was doused in sauce. The specialty (Thai) ones are fresh and tasty but not really my thing unless I fancy it on the day. Only thing I find odd is that a staff member almost judged the amount of food we were ordering? Asking us: “Are you going to finish all of that?” It’s a little off putting when you’re trying to enjoy your meal and why should it matter so long as we are paying for it? FYI - we did finish it all. Even if we didn’t we would pack the left overs to finish the next day. The outside gardens are really lovely to sit in during the summer evenings. Very unique. Indoors is a bit more cramped with a more standard restaurant vibe but nothing wrong with it at all.

Sadly this once excellent restaurant has turned into a posh canteen...food is still as good , service good but the owner is greedy and just wants covers.. I spent £90 with tip(2 people) in an hour..they stand over you asking if you've finished..it's not the staffs thought but the owner..we could see him pointing at us telling staff to move us on...they were visibly upset when asking for a 10 minute break before our mains. I know places lost a lot of money on the lockdown but is this the way to recoup those losses. No. Ok it's 24th September 2021.. rang to book a table for tomorrow evening..no problem...oh yes. I was told I could have a table for 1 hour, possibly 1 hour and 15 minutes.. that's 45 minutes less than the response I got to say we give you 2 hours... 22nd June 2024 Having spent a fair amount on the outdoor sining area, they now only want you outside. Turn away loyal customers who would rather eat inside... Please offer the choice!

More like a korma, seemed very rushed and very tough lamb. Didn't fit the description and not nice . Expect a good curry to have soft lamb . Very hard to chew . Staff apologised and were lovely , it didn't make up for the deception of the description .

We ordered the mixed platter to start which contained chicken wings, sweetcorn fritters, duck spring rolls, prawns and chicken satay. We loved the chicken wings and sweetcorn fritters the most. Then for mains, we had the lamb shank massaman and chicken penang. Both dishes were fresh, full of flavour and well presented. Then for dessert they brought out a big slice of cake to share. We would definitely recommend this place

Me and my girlfriend came to this restaurant on recommendation after we couldn’t go to London for dinner, and have to say it was probably better than most places we’ve been in London! Service was above 10/10 and couldn’t fault the lovely people that work in there. I didn’t get the waiters name but he was good. Would 100% recommend to anyone asking about places to eat out at. The interior was perfect and you can dress up nicely and fit in great (my girlfriend wore heels and felt comfortable.) Food was brilliant and came in good time. Very good prices and would have been happy to pay more imo for the overall experience. Will definitely go back!

During my stay at the hotel beside them, I was thrilled to have tried this restaurant twice during my stay! The food is INCREDIBLE! Never have I been so satisfied with flavours, price, atmosphere, service and concern for my allergy! When I went first my myself, they were very kind and greeted me and didn't mind seating me alone. At the end of the meal I was offered a hot towel and a chocolate. I felt like royalty! It was so fancy! The inside decor is stunning, so beautiful and transports you into another world entirely. So charming we will be making a special trip back just to enjoy it again for a date night! A few nights later we ordered take out to bring back to the hotel. We ordered Chicken Phad Thai and mixed veg in soya sauce. My husband wanted to make sure it wasn't oyster sauce as they do have it on the menu and I am allergic to shellfish. I did let them know as I placed the order. When I called back to triple check, they not only actually checked with the chefs, but also assured me it was in soya sauce and a broth, no oyster sauce and also didn't include prawn crackers for me as they wanted to be safe!!! BEST. MIX. VEG. I've ever had in my life! The fresh garlic is outstanding and makes quite the difference and impact on flavours! My husband is a qualified chef and he was so pleased, we almost called back to place another order! Simply divine, if you want a lovely meal with very reasonable prices, I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!! Best meal I had all holiday! Thank you thank you can't wait to come back! <3

The restaurant is lovely and has a private car park, but the food and service were lacking sadly. Good selection of drinks and an extensive Thai menu. The waiters didn’t have a grip in the service which was slow and we were left with dirty main course plates in front of us for over 20 mins and ignored by the waiting staff. Food was average and my dining partners yellow curry was far too hot for what was described as a mild dish. The deserts were factory made curry house type and a disappointment. This really needs to be a 2 star review but I’m feeling generous and the restaurant setting is marvellous. The place is quite small and cramped. Book in advance.

We were greeted by a lovely lady and did not have to wait very long to be seated. The staff were kind and understanding when we suddenly had to leave early during our booking. The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful. We had the thai curry, lamb pieces, chicken satay, and grilled chicken sizzler, prawn crackers and some drinks. The bill was reasonably priced. Everything but the duck is halal which we were happy about! The only con is the seating area (very close to other tables).

Awful experience start to finish. seated in the middle of an Isle was walked into at least 3 times. Staff had no idea about the menu when asked questions. This was our first time here so we were unsure of what to get so wanted some guidance. When the starters were brought out I immediately noticed a long hair in my food. They took this away and brought the same plate back out. No apologies given. Dinner was fine nothing special, no one checked to see if we had the correct food or if everything was okay during. I had booked this meal for a birthday and there was no acknowledgment of that at all. Will not be returning.

Owing to a family member being immobile we had to opt for the Takeaway option. Unfortunately, the food was truly awful and looked and tasted as if had been recycled from an all day buffet. Apart from the Panang Curry, none of the dishes had any taste of distinctive Thai spices and aromas. The Thai Dim Sum were a solid mass that had been microwaved to death. The Rice was chalky and not cooked adequately and the Prawn Crackers would not have been out of place if used as packaging in an Amazon delivery box!!! This was all very disappointing, especially as we have eaten here in the past and always enjoyed it. If we had been served this in the Restaurant I would most certainly have sent it back. Sadly, a birthday celebration ruined!!!

A one star rating with regard to service and attitude of who, I presume was the manager. Despite booking well in advance for a party of 14, we arrived to be told we were sitting outside. I explained I had not reserved an outside table and was told we tried to call you today to let you know. When I questioned this, as no message had been left. I was laughed at and told “that’s not how it works”. We were asked to wait in a small crowded entrance and told they would try and get us an inside table as soon as a table had finished their meal ( they were going to ask that party to vacate the table immediately after they had finished eating!!). We asked if complimentary drinks might be offered whilst we wait as there was no time given for when the table might be ready, the response another laugh and “ the drinks will not be free”. The main reason for this poor review is because of the service and attitude. I do not expect to be interrupted, not given eye contact, being told it was my fault even though I hadn’t booked an outside table and laughed at. The one positive is the refund of deposit was provided when asked. From observation, it seems this restaurant clearly overbooks and places profit over customer service and the attitude of a key person is well below what you would expect and quite simply, rude.

We have dined at this establishment and also enjoyed numerous take aways however we are beginning to wonder if there has been a change in management of late as on our previous visit on getting our takeaway home there was an item missing when we got home which we notified them of and noting was done . On this occasion we ordered a set meal and there were 3 items missing and the prawn crackers were stale ! As we don’t live locally we called them immediately, explained we are not local and it would be to them to deliver the missing items as I was not prepared to drive there and back again ! After a few minutes they had checked and realised we’d had not got what we ordered and paid for so a full refund was offered and accepted . That said this experience has made us decide to explore other options when looking for a Thai restaurant whether it be dining in or for a takeaway . My advice to anyone ordering a takeaway is to ensure they double check your order on collection , they seem to have enough staff so this should not be an issue . My advice to the manager is you need to employ staff that are capable of ensuring your customers receive what they have ordered and paid and also check your prawn crackers !

The setting, the relaxation music played in the background, the atmosphere created and the delicious food complemented by the exquisite service of the gentleman who was working at the time (did not get a name, unfortunately) made it an outstanding experience. Absolutely lovely. The ladies room was also looking great, with all the little details covered. Very charming place. I wish I could’ve left a tip, but they did not have the option on the card reader. They also offered to pack away my unfinished food, which was great, as I “over-ordered” :D. The hot towel at the end with the little chocolate made it the better 😊

I ordered a family takeaway from the Indian menu, husband collected it, got home, no rice. I called to tell them and they said I hadn’t ordered rice - I reiterated I had. Eventually and without apology they said I could come and collect the rice and it would be free. So another car journey and again no apology when my husband collected it. Food below average - dhansak lacking lentils and prawns, prawn purée portion seems to have halved in size. All in all, v disappointed in service and food.

Vegan/ Vegetarian options available. Indian food served only for dinner. Dessert was a bit of let down. Rest everything was good.

Being Thai, I just wanted to try some of the thai restaurant around MK. Pop in for a family lunch. Restaurant was beautiful, shame the garden seating area was not opened,it looked so nice on their website. Food was not bad, We had mixed seafood starters and chicken satay, spicy prawn crackers, stir fried scallop, grilled sea bass in banana leaf, stri fried egg noodles with beef and sticky rice. No sign of any Thai staff at all. But the staff were impeccable, provided top notch service. Like I said before, people have different taste buds/pallet. Give it a go and see

Myself, my partner and two friends had to endure 2 hours 30 minutes, to be served three starters and a main course. My partner, she did not have a starter, but when her sticky rice was served a plastic boil in the bag was dropped on her plate, still in the plastic bag. Upon complaining we were told that’s how we serve it. They then brought another rice out, this time in a little woven pot but still in a plastic bag. It was sent back. I’ve been here many times before but now never again, very disappointed. For the privilege for this they knocked the rice off the bill and gave a drink for each of us, which wasn’t wanted, still £180, no tip was given.

Absolutely delicious food, friendly service. There was a very big family celebration but it did not impede on the service we received. Excellent evening. Thank you. Will definitely return.

After placing our order (table for 2) we waited 50 mins for our starters, which we had to ask for, as other tables that arrived & ordered after us, got served. The excuse was ‘as you can see we are very busy’. We then waited patiently for nearly another hour, while other, larger tables, who had ordered after us were served main courses. We were not happy, but tried to be understanding, but another table, who ordered after us, who were complaining, got their food. At this point I asked why, but was given no explanation, so decided to leave. If at any time someone had spoken to us, without using excuses, to placate our irritation, I would not be so angry & hungry. I will not be returning to this restaurant, even though we live locally. Maybe if you cannot cope with the volume, you shouldn’t take the bookings!

Fabulous setting outside but unfortunately it was quite a chilly wind today, however, the staff were so pleasant and efficient, the food was delicious and hot, I really couldn’t fault any of it. Thank you for making my friend’s birthday so special.

This used to be my favourite restaurant and I was so excited to learn they were part of the ‘Gourmet Society’ that offers discount on Monday to Thursday. I phoned to book a table the same evening and agreed a time with the gentleman over the phone. I said that I was a Gourmet Society member because you have to say when you book to be able to use it. I was then told they were fully booked and had too many Gourmet Society customers that evening and I wouldn’t be able to use it. Absolutely appalled!! Why be part of this scheme if they refuse to let customers use it. They had a table available but only if I didn’t use my card for the discount which is valid Mon-Thurs. Will not be going back any time soon!! Hugely disappointed as it has completely changed my view on the restaurant I loved.

Didn't fulfil my order, didn't notify me that they weren't going to until I followed up on where it was once their latest delivery time estimate had passed, by which point it was too late to order elsewhere. Will not be giving them the benefit of the doubt again.

We decided to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary at the CafeMasala with 30 family and friends. Wow! Taraque and his team did us proud! I'm not sure how but they managed to serve all 30 of us very quickly with starters, main meals and side dishes without anybody waiting for more than a few minutes. Great service but shouldnt be surprised as CafeMasala has consistently given us great service and excellent food quality for many years and is definitely our "go to" restaurant of choice. Thanks Taraque and look forward to visiting you for many years to come! Phil & Joan Conquest
