May's Thai Malaysian Cafe in Leeds

nice food but ridiculous policy of charging for condiments . never ever seen before in thai restuarant . 30 p for one chilli ?

We visited Nan's Thai and Malaysian Cafe (named differently on Trip Advisor for some reason) before a gig. We wanted something light, quick and delicious - Nan's did the trick! Situated opposite Hyde Park, Nan's is a small eat in cafe type establishment. The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. The menu was excellent, varied and great value for money. We shared a mixed starter platter with fried wantons, prawn toast, chicken satay and some hefty veg spring rolls. All of them delicious and served hot with sweet chilli and a peanut sauce. We shared a lot of Jasmin tea to refresh the pallet. I had a chicken Gaeng Kiew Wan (green curry) with egg fried rice. It was delicious, fragrant, slightly spicy with some nicely booked veg. My dining partner had a really good pork Mee Wonton soup. Again, fragrant, tasty stock and soft slices of pork. We were in and out within 30 mins but could have easily stayed longer if we weren't in a rush. The mish mash cutlery and dishes added a really nice home feel about the place and if you wanted to they do corkage for bring your own booze too. Totally recommend this place if you're in the area and fancy something spicy on a budget.

I’ve not had a pad Thai that good since I was in Bangkok in 2007. Absolutely perfect, just like the street vendors in Thailand. The tofu Tom Yum soup and the Green curry were also delicious. Thanks, I’ll be returning!

This is my favourite place to eat. No fuss, no frills, just tasty fresh authentic food, served quickly and at a very reasonable price. Really can't fault it. It's great for a quick lunch, evening meal or takeaway. ' I can only echo the restaurant's comments out the previous reviewer being uneducated- they clearly didn't have a clue what they were ordering. The aged chicken leg they refer to is a fantastic dish called Nasi Lemak- one of my absolute favourites (it is Malaysian, not Thai, which it does clearly state on the menu) and is as good as I have had actually in Malaysia! May's/Nan's staff- keep doing what you do, I love it. Every single person I have taken here for food has been back and taken more people along. Says it all really

If the food wasn’t disappointing enough the people were even worse. Where do I start? My housemates and I were looking forward to a lovely Thai meal- as we so often enjoy and decided to try a new eatery. Big mistake. We ordered £40 worth of Thai food and were so excited. Food was ready in 15 minutes, we picked it up and began to plate up! A list of what was wrong with the food: Beef was barely cooked, curry sauce was watered down, satay chicken smelt of feet, coconut rice had no hint of coconut, soggy chips, the amount of chilli was enough to use in serval dishes and the worst meal was what appeared to be a 3 day old chicken leg served on a bed of microwaved rice and crispy anchovies. We were not happy. We rang up immediately and politely explained we were hugely disappointed, only to be told that they did not care for what we had to say, that we would not get a full refund, aggressive words with which we eventually bargained for an 80% refund and no apology. It doesn’t stop there. When we went back to get the refund we were told we were uneducated and to not order from their restaurant again if we did not know how to eat Thai food, we were told to F*CK off and were hurried out of the restaurant before we even had a chance to speak! We were also given old English money as the refund so had to go back a third time to get money we could actually use again. Never in my life have I been more embarrassed for an establishment, do not go here!!

This is a great little café if you’re in a hurry. The food came within 10 minutes of ordering. Having just come back from Thailand, I was after some authentic Thai food. It was ok, not amazing, and nothing like I’d had in Thailand. The Thai green curry was nice, although I found it rather strange to see cucumber in this dish. That being said, it was quite tasty. The rice was a bit disappointing, no jasmine rice on the menu so I went for boiled but it was rather dry. Spring rolls were nice. The Thai tea was very sweet, although I’ve never had it before so this may be nothing out of the ordinary. This café is by no means posh and could do with some colour, but it’s great for a quick meal and perfect for single travellers. It’s also right by the uni of Leeds. I would eat here again, certainly within the happy hour (meal and rice for £5).

My son, who is in uni digs close by, was keen to take us to this popular student eatery. The eating space has a mix of chairs, benches and cafeteria tables and felt rather strange - like eating in someone's kitchen - especially as when we arrived all the cafe workers were tucking into their evening meal round one of the tables. Most of our food was good - my wife was disappointed with her chow mein, but our mixed starters did the job and I enjoyed my king prawn stir fry with noodles which had fresh ingredients and nice flavours. Similarly my son was very satisfied with his red thai curry. Being excellent value it's not surprising this is a good place to eat.

Algunos platos aquí pueden ser muy buenos, pero el chef necesita calmarse con el azúcar. Se añadió demasiado azúcar a algunos de los platos de sopa que no eran comestibles. Es una pena que cuando la comida es buena es muy buena. . Así que deshazte del azúcar y la calificación será mucho más alta

My local Thai - friendly, delicious, the food speaks for itself. It's BYOB so great for a casual dinner out. Thanks May's :)

This is a tiny little cafe which I pass everyday so decided to call in for tea one night when I couldn’t be bothered cooking. The menu is good and there’s a fair bit for vegetarians. I had satay mushrooms and tofu pad Thai - very tasty and filling and served very quickly. The only downsides are that customer service could do with polishing a bit and all the other diners were students which is not a bad thing but some of the conversations I couldn’t help but overhear because the place is so tiny weren’t necessarily what I needed to hear while I was eating.

Second visit to this Thai. Food good. Had two different curries and they were good. Will go again when over Leeds way

Food was very good and arrived literally as soon as we sat down but as soon as we paid the bill the waiter came up to us and very rudely told us “you need to leave now”. We were so shocked we thought we had done something wrong. Was a shame as the food was very good but we were hoping to sit and chat for a while but we were hurried out after 40 mins.

Mays is very tiny and did well to accommodate our party of 12. Small kitchen in one end if the room ,tables in the other. Have had a cold for some time so went for the hottest thing on the menu I could find. May’s uses the chilli rating for their curries which inal ads find helpful. The curry was reasonably hot but I have had ‘worse’ but I was not disappointed. No alcohol for sale but you’re are quite welcome to bring your own. I would advise prebooking even for couples as tables are at a premium as it seems to be very popular with students especially in term time

We came with family for a meal. It was the best Thai food we’ve found outside of Thailand. Great herbs, spices and flavours. Authentic and even better value for money. Nice sized portions, friendly staff and cheap corkage too. Bring your own along. We had a variety of starters and mains and left full and satisfied. Definitely try this place if you’re in the area!

We were on our way to a concert and parked near here to avoid the traffic. Had a thai green curry and pad thai. The green curry was superb, the pad thai was good, but have had better., All in all though, we will be back.

Was really looking forward to our visit as we’d been together for a dinner a long time ago, but it was just a real let down.. quality was bad and for the price, there are other better options around Headingley..

Realmente muy pobre, había regresado en 2013 y lo recordaba con cariño, así que fuimos el mes pasado. He comido mucho en mi tiempo tanto en el extranjero como en el Reino Unido y Yorkshire, y esta fue una de las peores experiencias que he tenido. ha tenido alguna vez. . . Las porciones pequeñas, cocinadas y en la mesa en aproximadamente 3 a 4 minutos y la calidad simplemente no estaba allí, y me encanta la comida tailandesa. .

This place is a real find. Loved it. It ain't fine dining but it's yummy and super value for money. Will definitely be back.

Truly authentic, tasty and fresh food but with no alcohol licence SO Bring your own for a small cockage charge. No Frills but Great portions, super flavours for a nice price.

Un lugar realmente encantador cerca del parque, ideal para un tentempié rápido o una cena en la noche. ¡Trae tu propio licor! Un par de botellas de vino con tu pareja.

Quería un lugar para comer sabrosa comida asiática del sudeste sin problemas en un ambiente relajado, exactamente lo que tenemos. Muy agradable. Muchedumbre mixta pero principalmente clientela de estudiantes. Rápidamente servido y una buena relación calidad-precio. El curry matsuman fue maravilloso. También se recomiendan los platos Sweet + Sour y Himmaparn. Mezcla de opciones de arranque buen valor.

opciones vegetarianas y veganas disponibles, comida absolutamente deliciosa a precios increíbles. Usualmente está ocupado y tiene mucha vida en eso. Estilo de café en vez de restaurante, sin lujos, pero la comida es tan buena que obtiene 5 estrellas. El servicio es un poco reservado, pero nunca grosero.

These guys seriously know what they are doing. The food is insane. Amazingly tasty, quick and cheap. I'm hungry just writing this review and thinking about it.

Podría perdonarle que pase por delante de este restaurante, pero se lo estaría perdiendo. No te desanimes, ¡la comida es increíble! La cocina está abierta y puedes ver a varias mujeres cortando, preparando y cocinando. Hemos sido varias veces ya que mi hija ahora vive en Leeds y cada vez que la comida ha sido de primera clase. Puedes tomar tu propio alcohol y pagar el descorche. Pruébalo por ti mismo, no te decepcionará.

Este pequeño café en el área de Hyde Park de Leeds sirve la mejor comida tailandesa que encontrarás en Leeds.

A favourite before a film in Hyde Park, i love the veggie Golden Bags and Nasi Goreng....just yummy and great value. Bring your own beer too

Food here is peng and you can take your own alcohol. Good price and very friendly staff. The menu has a wide range and caters for vegetarians very well.

What an awesome, awesome find; my wife booked this sight unseen as we were going on to a concert later in the evening. She looked at the venue, then searched for eateries around there and this gem was uncovered. We arrived and the cafe was fully of Uni Students, which is normally a great sign as students always search out good, great value food. The atmosphere was busy. This cafe is unlicensed, so you can bring your own alcoholic drinks (BYOB) if you wish, we didn’t know this at the time, so we ordered Jasmin tea, which was delicious. I’m Vegan, but my wife isn’t, nothing was too much trouble. I have a starter of deep fried Tofu, which was delicious; the best Tofu dish I have ever had. My wife didn’t have a starter, but for main meals we ordered Pad See Aew (53) with seafood and I ordered Khan Pad Kee Mao (63). These were both absolutely delicious. I (greedily) asked for a second portion of the spicy rice (yes, it was THAT good!) All this; drinks, one starter and three main courses for just over £23? I will definitely be back, this little cafe is an hours drive from where I live & I would drive back there again in a heartbeat.

Birthday party for 13 family + students which they handled perfectly. Food was delicious, especially the starters. Fun buzzy atmosphere. Don't go to May's for a quiet romantic dinner for 2! Excellent value. Would recommend highly.

An incredibly simple café, few tables, open plan kitchen, maps of Thailand and photos of the Thai royal family: if you love good Thai food (or Malaysian or Indonesian) and do not mind a very informal setting and service, this is the place for you. Cheap prices, enormous portions, great quality. No alcohol licence but you can either take your own or have jasmine tea, which is also good for you every now and then.

The food here is simply delicious. A chilled cafe Style feel, perfect for everyone. Staff are welcoming too.

We popped in here on a Monday night after a teatime trip to the Hyde Park cinema and the place was packed. No frills laid back buzzy cafe full of students. Friendly and speedy service. Great food with big portions. Amazing value for money and better than many Thai cafes I’ve been to.

Four of us called in for late lunch after University open day. This is a cosy cafe type environment. Very pleasant service. Food cooked to order, huge bowls of fantastic soup, pots of tea, great value.

My two housemates and I had arranged to go out for a meal and planned to go to another BYOB restaurant. We gleefully walked into the restaurant with our previously purchased alcohol, very excited, to find that this restaurant was fully booked!

Staff were very accommodating for vegans, and they made us very tasty food. Can wholeheartedly recommend the Tom Yum Soup...

The food was amazing. Tasted divine and I was with friends who have travelled extensively who say it was extremely similar to food that had had out tyere. Staff were really friendly and price as very resonable.

Este lugar ofrece un precio muy bueno para lo que te dan. La comida es muy auténtico. Me gustó el ambiente de cafetería el lugar que hace más buenas para acurrucarse de restaurante formal. Hay muchos alimentos gran y sabrosa en el menú.

Sono stata qui con degli amici per una cena. Il locale è piccolo e quindi consiglio di prenotare, come abbiamo fatto anche noi. Il cibo è davvero buonissimo e il personale gentile e disponibile. Io ho preso una zuppa piccante, le mie amiche riso e curry...il tutto era davvero speciale. A richiesta fanno anche cibo d'asporto.

Have taken advantage of the lunch special here a couple of times - £5 for one main dish or £7 for one starter and or main. Both times have left surprisingly full and happy with quality of food for amazing price. Plus you can BYO alcohol, corkage is only £1. I have tried the spring rolls, green & red curry and Singapore noodles and pad Thai - my only complaint was that the pad Thai was a bit oily. But otherwise definitely recommend!

A family group of us went for lunch, choosing the lunch deal of starter + main for a very low price. Most of us enjoyed our food - I was less keen on my main but I chose the wrong thing by accident. Large portions, authentic Thai food, friendly service. Recommended.

Really enjoyed our meal here- gorgeous flavoursome food at a really decent price. The portions were huge!

Cheap and cheerful, May's offers a relaxed dining atmosphere with a great menu. It's lovely to get a glimpse of the fresh ingredients being prepped in the kitchen and the food is authentically Southeast Asian. Great for students, May's offers a bring your own booze deal for just £1 per head and the £5 meal with rice will fill up even the hungriest person and the service is good too. Would absolutely recommend.

Massive portions and very filling! And the food was tasty and to be expected with traditional seasoning and flavourings. Good for a casual eat in or out with friends on a budget :)

It was time for me and a couple of guys from work to get a bite to eat having just had a long day we wanted something quick but not sacrificing taste. I mentioned I had got a take out from Mays a couple of weeks ago and was satisfied with what I had(pad Thai) and it was cooked in no time at all.A very charming Thai lady took our order of mixed sea food starter, a pad Thai , Thai curry and a roast chicken dish served with rice and a chicken broth. The lady recommended we try some of this Thai omelette as it complimented the thai curry dish.The seafood starter was excellent, surprisingly the deep fried battered crab sticks were particularly nice and something I have never tried before. Normally the portion would only be enough for two but the lady advised the kitchen to make extra for the three of us.We shared the main course dishes between us. The pad Thai which I had tried in the past was again excellent the veg was crunchy and just how I like it, the prawns were juicy and sweet and the noodles were bouncy. The Thai curry was rich in flavour and went nice with the omelette which balanced out the richness. The roast chicken dish was a dish I never tried before and I didn't see the point of the broth that came with it, both of the parts of the dish were nice separately bit didn't work well together. I could have had the broth as a soup type starter and would have been happy with it. The sauce that was coating the chicken was malty and sweet a flavour that I feel worked really well.No desserts for us as the menu was not appealing however on a plus side our meal was served with a big pot of jasmine tea that helped was down the food.Mays is not the best looking place but the food and service more than make up for that. I will defiantly be going back if it's to eat in or take out.

Ok first of all this is an informal restaurant so don't expect anything glitzy and glamorous. It is however cozy and clean and makes for a good atmosphere.The lunch deal is by the best I've seen for any Thai/Malay eatery at £5 for a rice main or £7 for certain starters and rice main 11am-5pm. The food style of the mains was homecooking with a good dose of spice. The starters were streetfood style and the balance of the two I thought worked really well. As far as I am aware it is still bring your own which is a big plus - there are off licences not far away in the car if you forget. Their glasses are great for a spirit & mixer so I might bring a little of bourbon next time if dining with friends. It was brilliant to have a brief read of the philosophy / Buddhist books laid out on the table whilst a short wait for the food. Nothing overbearing or imposing on you, merely a light read in tune with Thai culture that provided a few timely words of wisdom. The Thai Ice tea was fairly sweet but drinkable definitely worth a try, they also do cokes, fantas, water etc reasonably priced at £1. Order and pay at the counter the food and drinks are table service.The main reason for trying this place out was to sample Malay dishes which I've heard a similar to Thai but noticeably different. I was glad I settled my curiosity and will return to dabble in the other Malay dishes and maybe a dessert next time. They also do a takeaway service. Whilst we ate in if you can't finish your main just ask for a takeaway box as we did and put it in yourself. Really good things here, money well spent, good sized main portions, service friendly and efficient - there's not much to fault just enjoy your experience and give a reasonable tip.

I have visited here on a number occasions the staff a very friendly and knowledgeable. The food is always fresh try their lunch deal 2 courses for £7

I love this place. It used to be called Mamsy's, which was also good. The food here is cheap, cheerful and tasty. You can eat in or take away, but it is small so don't expect to fit in if you are in a big group! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and very clean/hygienic surfaces etc. Highly recommended!

I was under the impression May's had closed, after being told that by a friend. I'm glad to see it's still open as the food is good here, and very fairly priced. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian choices. Good friendly service and an unpretentious atmosphere.

Dropped by for a late snack. Great nasi goreng, Thai chicken and green papaya salads. Great heat and delicious.

We visit here a lot. Our last visit last Wednesday didn't disappoint. Everything is made fresh but arrives in good time. The staff are friendly and attentive. We didn't book but we're lucky enough to get a table. All of the tables apart from the one we sat at were reserved!

May's is right around the corner from our flat. We've been wanting to try it for ages and the other night I was craving Thai food. We decided to go and were really pleased with the menu options and the pricing. It's inexpensive and the serving sizes are decent! We're strict vegetarians and there was plenty to choose from! We were greeted by a little girl, presumably the owner's daughter, and we're sat by the window on a bench seat with cute cushions. I ordered the Pad Se Aew and had to send it back (which I never do) because it was much too spicy for me and there wasn't any mention of chilli in the menu description. They didn't give me any trouble taking it back and didn't charge me for it. I felt bad for doing it! Before our mains we had the vegetarian starter tray and the golden bags - delicious! I basically made my meal out of that and iced Thai Kopi! Overall, I'd still recommend the place. It provided a wonderful atmosphere, was inexpensive and had a great veggie selection. Just be sure to ask for chilli free meals if you aren't into a lot of spice!

Me and my girlfriend live very close to the restaurant. Whenever we are lazy to cook we order from May's. The food is lovely and reasonably priced. My girlfriend loved the casual sit down tables with cushions and the vibe. Also customers are allowed to bring their own alcohol which I thought was a very good and unique idea. Recommended for casual sit down and food or takeaway.

Excellent service food was amazing tempura vegetables delightful definitely must go back really enjoyed

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend, because had heard such good things. Lived up to all expectations and loved the fact it is run by a family. 10/10.

Bang in the middle of the Hyde Park, simple decor and solely about the food. Very student orientated but authentic, quality food with family feel!

Just had dinner at May's - absolutely stunning food, best Thai food I've ever had in the UK. Restaurant is chilled and relaxed - it's not the right place if you want a fancy meal but gorgeous for date night if you're a student.

It is a simple and friendly place which is fine but unfortunately I found the food hardly edible. I had Pad Thai, it had far too much sugar and not enough noodles. My friend had some satay sticks but the satay sauce was more like a bit of curry sauce from a different dish. Sorry May's but you need to improve your food A LOT.

Been here quite a few times and have been served food of a consistently high quality each time. The portion size is decent and the staff are very friendly, it's also BYOB which is an added bonus. All of the food I've had is delicious but I recommend the chicken wings in thai whiskey sauce they are the best!

I've visited May's a handful of times now and every time the food and service has been excellent. I cannot understand how so many people within Hyde Park have not visited or heard of this place. As a student, the £5 main/£7 main + starter deals that are offered during lunchtimes are perfect. They're great value for money, whilst the portion sizes are slightly reduced compared to normal, this is not an issue because the normal portion sizes are huge! The menu boasts a lot of choice of Thai/Malaysian dishes including the most popular such as Thai Green Curry/Pad Thai - there will be something for everything. One of the best things is the ability to pick a dish and then pick which meat you'd like, the menu options are endless. The staff are really helpful and the service is quick and easy with a smile. Massive bonus is the BYOB which makes Mays perfect for dinner. The off-licence is a stone's throw away so you can always pop out and get more booze whilst eating. They've always let me box up leftovers free of charge too. Definitely will continue to eat here as the value for money cannot be beaten and the food tastes gorgeous.

Really enjoyed coming here. Staff were super nice and friendly. Food was excellent. Not the sort of place for a posh meal, I guess but definitely a place to come hang out in a relaxed café environment. Would come back again for sure

sorry to have to say this as i do not like giving bad reviews. i had th rice and tofu, just a snack as I was starving.was actually the most disgusting rice I have ever had in my life.the tofu was horrible too and was probably cooked with non veggie stuff by the taste. even though i was starving, i found it difficult to finish, and had to stop. i really really love tofu and rice usually but this was unbelievably vile. would never eat from here again. however the staff were very nice and polite, and the restaurant seemed to have nice seating.

Having lived half my life in Malaysia, something I always miss is the food. There are quite a lot of Thai restaurants around Leeds and the UK but very few Malaysian ones so when I found out about this place I just had to try it. It's a small cafe, right next to Hyde Park, that can seat around 20 people and we managed to get parking right outside. The cafe is modestly decorated and has a typical Malaysian cafe feel including an open view kitchen. The menu had a lot of Thai options and good selection of Malaysian ones too. We went for the £7 starter and main option. For mains I tried the Nasi Lemak, (which is arguably the national dish of Malaysia) and my wife had her favorite, Prawn Thai Green Curry. Both were absolutely fantastic. I even asked for more of the sambal belachan. We were both so satisfied that we even ordered more food as take-out for dinner. If you like Malaysian food we would definitely recommend you give it a try.

Been here a few times for the lunch meal deal (£5 for a main or £7 for a reduced size starter and main). Worth the money, tasty food. Staff really nice and friendly. Recommend.

I came here with my daughter, she regularly eats here. What an amazing find, great authentic food in a buzzing atmosphere. No frills and interior design just great authentic food and a relaxed friendly environment. Don't forget to take your own booze.Enjoy!!!

Went here after reading reviews on here, and was pleased I did. Fairly short menu with the usual suspects, great thai fish cakes and lovely gyoza to start followed by lovely noodles. Superb!! It's fairly small and basic inside typical cafe style. Nice and friendly staff great lunch time offers and it's open all day, so excellent for a late lunch. And it allows byob. Great value food well worth trying.

Apart from the Torrential Rain, Thunder and Lightning, took a mate here last night after he fancied a Thai dish for his tea, food was delicious as ever and I think he was impressed, I went foraging for beer and got soaked, never the less what a brilliantly run business, was happy to give them a tip, lovely little honest genuine beautiful place :P

I come here regularly for my lunch. The £5 or £7 deals on a lunch are really good value and great food! Try this place out, you can even take your own booze.

Delicious food and really reasonably priced. This was my 4th visit and its been 5/5 each time. It's BYO but they do sell soft drinks and tea.

There is something strangely reassuring about the basic decor - the people who run this Malaysian cafe know how to cook East Asian food, not do interior design and so much the better for it. I think nearly all of the other customers were students, quite at home with its low key look (and undoubtedly happy with its BYOB drinks policy).The menu follows a conventional layout for this type of food: a few options for each of the rice, noodle, noodle soup and curry categories plus starters and sundries. We had the Pad See Aew and Curry Mee (the latter was superior). The food is unpretentious but tasty and you get all those lovely Asian flavours which make it taste as authentic as you'll get in Hyde Park. To sum up... it's cheap and cheerful, but it the nicest way possible.

Working in food business and catering... I visit this place with some partners in work before few mins ago... We had few delicious dishes Just to taste how is the food there .. This dishes took me back to thailand, but this time in the heart of leeds. Very clean food, very hight quality... Very good service.... The pinot sauce can be better...

Been here three times now. I ordered a duck masaman curry with rice last time. The duck was fresh and succulent not to mention delicious. If you ask, they will provide you with an accompanying sambal. I just wish they offered more Malay food, although dishes like nasi lemak and nasi goreng are good. It's a very casual place and you can bring your own bottle. I'll be back !

Came here with my mum for Friday lunch, we where the only customers to start off, more people arrived later. May welcomed Us and we sat down with the menu, they do a lunch time deal, £5 main or £7 starter and main. We were asked if we would like our starters and mains served separately or together, we opted to have them separately. The starters came after 10 minutes waiting, mums fish cakes were amazing and my fried dumplings were nice and crisp with a fantastic dipping sauce, made fresh every week by May. For mains we shared som tam, (papaya salad) this was delicious and reminded me of my recent trip to Thailand, we also shared pad kee Mao noodles which was equally as good. This place is a laid back, casual little cafe serving authentic food cooked by a friendly chatty Thai lady, they don't have an alcohol license but you can bring your own for a corkage of £1 each. I will be returning here again, Fantastic!

Reminded me of my backpacking days. Delicious, authentic food in clean, basic surroundings. Good menu, Byo alcohol, £1 corkage. Great service. Jasmine tea, wa brilliant. Highly recommended. Busy on a Friday night, might be worth booking.Ask for a window seat, overlooks the park

Been looking for somewhere reliable near Hyde Park for ages - this hit the spot. Unpreposessing location & decor but food was spot on. Unlicenced but BYOB encouraged.

We love love love this place! Used to visit when May was based in Leeds market and now make a special trip over to Hyde Park. Great choice, good prices, and amazing food. No pretense, just good honest, lovely food.

So lovely- cheap, fresh and chilled. No need to dress up, just casual eating out with such lovely flavours! Very enjoyable as always! Go, try it. I love the noodle soups mm

The food is amazingly fresh and flavoursome and the portions are generous. The ladies are total sweethearts even when drunken students play up. The prices they charge are an absolute steal, they've always deserved a generous tip!

We booked for a large group for a birthday end of January (10 of us). Having seen a fair few of the dishes that eve I can say that the positive reviews below about the food are all true - it certainly felt more authentic than other thai food I've seen before. It also has a good vegetarian range with most dishes having a tofu/extra veggies option (usually cheaper). Everyone enjoyed what they had and I had food envy for some of the dishes so will need to back to try them.I had to write this to say that the ladies running the restaurant and serving that night were brilliant though. Quick, helpful and friendly - they even helped us out with small plates and cutlery when a surprise birthday cake was brought by one of the group. It's a small place (about 30 or so seats?) so we were a bit louder than other groups due to our number, but were made to feel welcome.It's bring your own booze for £1 per head. The food is also really good value so I got a main dish and brought my own drinks and all this including tip still cost me under £8. Complete bargain! Lovely little place, was impressed with the service side too so will definitely be back

I've been supporting May's restaurant even before she moved to this current new location, they provide absolute delicacies at a very affordable rate, which is really helpful for a student like me. I would recommend their chicken rice, Nasi Lemak and their green bean puffs for those who have not been there, it is the best that you can find in Leeds ! May also provides really good customer service and sometimes I even get to choose to order dishes out of the menu upon special request ! She also supports charity causes such as the guide dogs, and agreed to set up a collaboration with the Guide Dogs Society in the university of Leeds, giving discounts to their members ! I would definitely recommend this place, in terms of their service and food quality, I would also say that this is a hidden gem that you need to try !

Love this place. The owners are super nice, and the food is actually delicious. Its super cheap but the quality is high, and very clean. I am a regular and have never been disappointed.

If you want to eat original Thai food you must go here. The place is simple but you will get the real taste of Thai food. The owner is lovely and very helpful explaining the different dishes. The food is excellent value and the portions very generous. Totally recommended.

Lovely, lovely place. Run by traditional and friendly Thai women - the food cooked here is authentic, delicious and cheap. I eat here nearly every day. I mainly go for the curry's but i have eaten other things off the menu too and they have also been very nice. Take advantage of the lunch deal which runs until 5pm - a main with rice for £5. Yes! £5 for outstanding, personal food.

Great place for students. Lovely friendly staff, delicious food, great ambiance, large portions, excellent value. What more could you want? One of the best green papaya salad I've had.

The food really is very good. It is well spiced and the ingredients and cooking style is authentic Thai. The Thai curry had great depth of flavour and the fishcakes had a great consistency. This is restaurant quality food at café prices with mains at £6 or £7. Nasi Goreng, Nasi Lemak, one stir fry and one soup are the only dishes describes as Malaysian on the menu. It would be great to see this side of the menu expanded, perhaps with beef rendang or canai roti.The surroundings are basic but it was good to see that the heating had been improved since it was Mamsys which I found rather drafty. The café is popular with students, including those from South East Asia. You can drink your own wine for a £1 corkage which makes the value even more outstanding.

The restaurant/cafe may be small but the staff are wonderful only outshined by the AMAZING food. BYOB and cheap too. and you get LOADS!

Amazing place, awesome authentic food, really good value, BYOB and lovely friendly staff. My favourite place ever.Recommend the Panang curry, kow pad kee mao and the som tum!

When I arrived half the customers were Thai which is allways a good sign. I had the tom yum mixed sea food and and som tum with Jasmine rice.I've just returned from a holiday in Thailand and so had high expectations of the food and was not disapointed, Possibly the best tom yum I've had in Leeds and the som tum was fiery hot - just like being back in Thailand.Check it out - great new cafe
