Hands down the best Thai there is! We love this restaurant and often have the 3 mini curry offer they do is u eat in. We love visiting in the week as they normally do a 20% off food if u eat in which is amazing. We have had this on takeaway in the week too!! Food is absolutely lovely. We have tried so many dishes. The cocktail lounge area of the restaurant is beautiful and well worth booking for parties.

This restaurant is a poor variant of Thai and is far from authentic . Owner is British and we suspect he caters for those locals who have very little understanding of Thai cuisine. My wife was quite ill during the night and had nothing else to eat since Breakfast. To improve, stop making major compromises to local tastes!

We have always enjoyed lunches at the Chillie Banana. But on 31 August Lunch, the food seemed a bit stale, especially the starters. And the actual chicken red curry was watered down and really insipid. Very disappointed all six of us!

Authentic Thai place. The tastes were almost similar in Thailand. We ordered fish salad for starters. I highly recommended scalloped on chilli paste the taste was superb! For main dish we got stirred fried noodle which a little too salty. 😁 staffs were friendly and well oriented. overall 10/10 satisfied 😊

Have been coming to Chilli B since 2007, spending thousands at this establishment, introduced lots of people and up until recently I’ve always enjoyed the food and service. Unfortunately the food quality seems to have dropped (ie cheaper cuts of meat), the food no longer tastes the same and quality has gone downhill- for a green curry and rice at £20+ this is far too expensive, The main menu has very high prices which makes it difficult to justify eating here, the lunch menu deal is handy but again let down by food quality. The service charge automatically printed on the receipt drives the bill up, again another expense and inconvenience as its embarrassing to have to ask for it to be removed. I understand the restaurant industries have been hit hard in these past few years but so has everything else. EDIT - thanks for replying to some of my review a month later. I believe that providing good service and quality food shouldn't require prompting from the customer. A seamless dining experience should be the standard, not something that needs to be pointed out when it falls short (especially with the prices you charge). Just to clarify, it's not my responsibility to instruct your chefs on how to prepare their dishes. I shared my feedback because I feel that it's important for businesses to know when they miss the mark. Hopefully, this helps to improve the experience for future guests. Please see uploaded photos of one of your dishes.

Updated review: Since my last review 6 years ago (which was very underwhelming), things seemed to have changed significantly. The pad kimow noodles were excellent, not sloppy or overcooked, but flavoursome with good texture. The mushroom sate skewers were excellent too. The lunch meal offer is great value for money, will go back for sure.

30th June 2024. We just had the First ever Chilli banana buffet back. 2 adults 1 child. Price twice up from few years back which fair enough but food was not as we expected..not much choices, nothing for children( my child is 10 and she loves Thai food) but nothing there for her today. My favourite restaurant but this buffet (very disappointed not recommend for family and friends) But will be returned for lunch and evening meals though.

Brought friends here as not all had been before. Welcomed and shown to our table, the service here is always efficient. Ordered drinks, large wines and two pints of draught lager. Lost in translation unfortunately, my friend noticed that it was 2/3rds of a pint and they are charging £4.50 so £6.75/ pint, disappointing. The food on the whole was very good however two of us had the Kow Pad Gung, this is basically 6 or 7 prawns on plain fried rice and a small salad. The only sauce was a very small ramekin of burning hot chilli. This to me was a poor dish at £17. Service charge is 10% and optional but they will be relying on people not wanting to amend, like us. I'd prefer to decide the amount myself. A good experience overall but a few niggles.

Let me start by saying the venue itself is absolutely beautiful but that’s the only good part. I don’t know where all the amazing reviews come from but the food is the worst Thai food I have ever tasted in my life. I had minced chicken with a salad for starters and was told by our waiter that it wasn’t too spicy hot well, it was so spicy I had to leave most of it. My husband’s spare ribs were so dry he had difficulty eating them. Before ordering his massamam chicken curry we explained my husband has recently had radiotherapy on his throat due to cancer and CANNOT eat very spicy food therefore, could we have a side order of coconut milk in case he needed to dilute the sauce. We were to,d that they do not have any coconut milk which I find astonishing in a Thai restaurant. Luckily it wasn’t too spicy for him but what we thought very unusual was the waiter brought half a pint of cows milk with the curry and said “put that on it, it works better than coconut milk”!! Now onto my dish which was sea bass in a sauce which I can only describe as a chilly type of jam. It was so hard and over cooked that I could not eat more than a mouthful. When I complained to the waiter I was told it was because it had been deep fried. In all my years of eating out, I have never, ever heard of deep fried sea bass. They did however knock the price off the bill as it was so awful and inedible. Needless to say, we would never go back to chilli banana nor recommend it to anybody.

Food on my opinion was fairly average Thai fayre. Was a bit disappointed after reading prior reviews. Certainly not stand out and unlikely to return. My main gripe was the service… we had an 8:30 booking on a Thursday evening and at 9pm we were told the kitchen was closing and could we choose a dessert. Whilst the waiter stood waiting after handing dessert menus. Obviously we declined as we were still eating our main and then they brought the bill over. Never had ‘service’ like this anywhere before. We won’t return

Our first visit last night to this lovely restaurant whilst staying for a few nights in Macclesfield and I have to say it was one of the best Thai meals we’ve had . We chose the banquet at £32 pp (soup excluded) and it was delicious - the food was so fresh, tasty, aromatic and plentiful with good service, friendly staff and a such a nice setting in the beautifully converted Merchant House a short walk away from the centre of town. Overall an excellent experience I wouldn’t hesitate to return :)

I thought the restaurant was pretty, good, if a little average given the high price of the food Staff were very lovely, and the food was enjoyable. I’d say some of the food was just a little too sweet, such as the massaman. Atmosphere was calm, but kinda felt like a quiet British pub really. Cool decor downstairs though! Overall, I probably wouldn’t come back due to the prices, but I did enjoy the food, just thought it would have been better :)

We came here for a family lunch out for a christmas celebration. This was the 3rd time we came and it was equally lovely to the previous times We have always received a warm and friendly welcome We took advantage of the lunchtime meal deal which at the moment is a very reasonable £12.95: Any 2 small plates followed by any noodle dish or rice dish Finishing with jasmine tea or fresh ground coffee. The food is delicious and we will definitely go many more times The car park next to the Chilli Banana is not massive, but, I think there may be other parking behind it maybe on the street There is space for at least one blue badge user There is easy wheelchair accessibility from the car park. A wheelchair can fit under a few of the tables so that the user is close enough to the table to be able to eat unlike some other restaurants. There are also wheelchair accessible toilets. It might be advisable to mention a wheelchair user will be present, when booking We will definitely be returning Many thanks

This is the last time I have a take away from here. Everytime before I read the reviews and think I’ve been unlucky but tonight is the last time I repeat the same expensive and disappointing experience. My partner ordered chicken in special southern Thai sauces - honestly it had a few pieces of overcooked chicken in a watery soup, not a sauce, packed out with 2 big pieces of cauliflower and 2 of broccoli to try and make it look like it was worth £18! I had the drunken tofu noodles - smallest portion ever with huge pieces of pepper and greasy tofu to pack it out - it was worth £6 and cost £12. I could go on but I won’t. It is poor quality and over priced.
