Gauthama Thai Restaurant in Shropshire

An absolutely wonderful experience, we ate there three times in a week. The food was excellent, and the prices were very, very reasonable. A four scallop starter for under £7 is incredibly good value and this sort of value for money was mirrored across the entire menu. The staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for you and the kitchen were more than happy to modify the heat of the dishes to suit your taste (down for my partner and up for me). When I asked if they had any soft shell crab available, they said that while it wasn't on the menu they would get some in for me the following day if I wanted them to. I did and it was amazing, cooked in a broth based around Jungle curry, it was hot, sweet and incredibly tasty. They were even happy to share recipe and cooking tips for me to follow at home. I have eaten in many Thai restaurants around London and the south east and this is easily one of the best that I've found, especially at the prices they charged. I will definitely be going back whenever I am in the area again.

Extremely disappointing and substandard take-away. Starter inedible - had one bite of my prawn toast and had to throw it in the bin as was soggy, stale and just disgusting Main course had about 2cm of oil on the top and was so spicy (despite being advertised as mild) again could not be eaten. Partners main course also very poor. We live 20 mins away and the food was delivered exactly 25 mins after placing the order.....

While the food at this restaurant is not 100% authentic (pea aubergines were missing from the curry) the food here is really very tasty. The chefs hit right salt, sour and sweet balance that is so crucial to Thai food. The yum woon sen glass noodle salad is delicious, as is the laab (spellings in the restaurant might differ). Portion sizes are good and the price is right too. The only let down is that the music can be a little too loud for my liking but that's a personal preference. If you go, be sure to share your dishes and don't use chopsticks as the Thai's don't use but prefer a spoon and fork.

This was the worst Thai meal that we have had. We waited nearly half an hour for our order to be taken. The starters were bland and one was tough to eat. The main course had none of the aromatic and fragrant flavours of a Thai meal, it was a chilli hit combined with coconut milk. One very expensive side dish looked like a bowl of leftovers and tasted that way too. There was a lack of attention to the drinks order which was wrong twice and the place was too noisy and not relaxing at all. Overpriced and overrated in our opinion.

We went this week for a second visit and I have to say I still can not fault the place. We are only visiting the area but I’m so wishing we lived closer to be able to eat here often, unfortunately almost 3 hrs is a bit far to go for a meal. Lovely place, lovely staff and lovely food.

The venue was well presented, the staff were very welcoming and a delight to chat with. My husband and I had two exquisite meals; mine was the Duck in a tamarind sauce and my husband had beef in a hot sauce. We could not fault either of them. We were so impressed we are going back tomorrow.

A brilliant place. Deliciousness incarnate. Plus a lovely atmosphere. The manager and staff were all engaged. Start your meal with a cocktail, off menu options also available - loved the Vesper Martini, so well paired with thai. I will return. The wines on offer are also well paired. Beef Massaman and coconut rice - superb.

Fantastic meal couldn't fault it Would highly recommend . Rang and ordered and delivered within 45 mins Great service ,great food

Absolutely delicious! Staff are so kind and always very welcoming. Have been here a couple times now and never fails to disappoint. Mo and Fiston are extremely lovely, and the food is delicious and also very accommodating for my vegan friend.

We’ve been coming to Gauthama for the past few years. As businesses come and go in little Cleobury Mortimer, it is telling that this one is not only still running but absolutely packed whenever we go in. The food is amazing - especially the Gaeng Panang being a personal favourite. The staff are also lovely and so attentive, making you feel so welcome. Big shoutout to Fiston and Mo in particular! Always an amazing meal here, couldn’t recommend these guys enough.

Miserable staff really couldn't be bothered, practically threw the prawn crackers on the table,think he was the manager. Lovely food

Not authentic - very average food. Duck with pancakes was the driest and most unappetising I’ve ever had. Yellow curry was nice enough but didn’t taste authentic. My friends didn’t really enjoy theirs. Didn’t see one Thai member of staff which was odd. Cocktail was very poor - tasted like premix

Booked a delivery at 10:30 am for a specified delivery time. Rang after 25 mins past the delivery time and it still had not left the restaurant. Given a poor excuse that other orders had come in. The order was confirmed via e mail 90mins before the delivery was due. Really poor service and poor planning. No priority given to set delivery times. Really poor service

I can't stress enough how good this restaurant is. Amazing food, fabulous atmosphere and incredible staff. Best Thai restaurant I have been to - ever!

Great Thai restaurant in this little town that we was just passing through on the way to our hotel. The staff were pleasant and food very good.

Loved this place! Really good menu, welcoming and friendly staff, good value, and great food. I had the Thai starter platter and the beef green curry, both of which were fantastic. We'll be back for more!

Had food delivered tonight, piping hot and chips were gorgeous. Will definately be ordering from here again
