Restaurant looked good very authentic in design. staff were quite friendly. Starters were quite nice probably the best part of the meal. Main dishes were very bland and the meat very chewy ( not very good quality) food went cold quite quickly maybe not cooked well or left to stand before service.

I’ve been a number of times before. Food was always good and service also good. I went on Wednesday 19.07.24 at 1730 hrs. I am deaf, from birth, and have an Assistance Dog- specifically a Hearing Dog from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. She is a fully trained and licensed Assistance Dog who alway wears her recognisable uniform coat and a fluorescent slip on her lead. When we arrived, everything was fine we were invited towards a table and at that stage the level of English shown by the lady at the door was, I felt, very good. It puts us to shame that we cannot reciprocate. I do not normally sign, instead, I work by lip reading and the lighting was helpful for this and the lady was facing us , so, I had no difficulty understanding . The dog was on lead behind me, as usual. When the lady noticed the dog everything changed. The level of comprehension of language simply disappeared and we were being told, “We do not have dogs.” I explained about the dog’s role for me and its position legally. I was surprised by all this since I had been several times before and there was never even a question about the dog, the reason we booked there. She did refer to a man in the background who I was unable to see but it was a flat out refusal and absolutely no attempt to discuss or reconsider. My son tried, pointing out that it was no different to a Guide Dog. Nothing, “We don’t have dogs.” We decided it was pointless and the embarrassment for me was escalating. We left and went to Bacco Lounge, where we were received warmly without problem as usual.. Imagine yourself in this position. Would you like to be embarrassed in front of your family, told you can’t do a very basic thing because you are accompanied by something which makes it possible to function in society on a more equal basis. The dog would have lain quietly on the floor beside me. She would never look for food and would absolutely never approach another person without my express permission. She is a complete professional. This was flat discrimination against a disability. There was no misunderstanding, there was plenty of explanation by two people. It’s no different to being discriminated against for gender, orientation, religion or colour. I urge you not to eat here, it could be you in my place one day. There’s another Thai establishment in Rugby who do understand Assistance Dogs. Go there. I’ve had time to think on this and I’m okay to say that this was one of the most embarrassing situations I been put in for an extremely long time, even if my family fully understands. I might point out, the dog has a legal right to accompany me. It is illegal just to refuse an adaptation for a disability without considering the possibilities and possible effects of a refusal. How much do you enjoy being acutely embarrassed in public? In front of your family?

Have been coming to this restaurant on and off for years but OMG how good is the food now, every single dish was absolutely delicious, can’t fault anything and to the person who recently put a review on saying it’s dated needs to get a grip as from a couple that go to Thailand every year we love it in here as it is how Thailand is/was with all the wooden carvings etc and would be so sad to see it change but more importantly the food is spot on and will be back very soon 😉

Our son and his wife were visiting us from America and both enjoy Thai food. We decided to give Rama Thai a try, as we live locally and had passed the restaurant on a number of occasions. The booking was early evening, so the restaurant was not particularly busy. However, there was still a pleasant atmosphere and the staff were both friendly and helpful. Most importantly, the food was excellent! Rama Thai is now on our list of "go to" restaurants.

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch with the wife. The decor, carvings and craftsmanship of the woodwork in here never fails to be impressive. Very quiet, seated instantly with a gracious welcome. We chose the pre set mezzo meals at a reasonable £11.45 per person. Slight wait for the food, when it arrived we could see why. The presentation was immaculate, the food well cooked, tasty, hot and plentiful. Unfortunately I was unable to finish it all, as was the Mrs, but we left well fed, not bloated and without too much of a dent in my wallet. The staff/owner were very friendly, attentive without being obtrusive and generally just lovely people.

Really enjoyed our first visit to the RAMA Thai in Rugby. Delicious food and good choice of options on the menu, and a great buzzy atmosphere. Glad we had booked ahead as it was packed. Staff are very busy keeping the tables fed and watered but we didn't have to wait too long for our order to be taken, the food to arrive or the bill to be settled. We will definitely come back again.

Had an excellent evening meal here with friends. As we’ve come to expect from Thai people, the staff were very polite & helpful. The rooms were covered inThai carvings & pictures which lent to the atmosphere. The meals we chose were beautifully served & presented & delicious to the palette. Parking is a bit of a faff but the multi story or the side roads are only a short walk away.

Very disappointed last night!! Waited about 25 minutes for our drinks order to be taken, they slowly came. Took our food order, took another 40 minutes to receive very small starters and lack of sauce. After being sat for 2 hours and 15 minutes our main courses arrived! The place was busy but not that busy. The service was overall poor and they kept apologising saying 5 more minutes. We were very tempted to get up and walk out. Luckily the food wasn't disappointing but I won't be in a rush to come back.

Excellent & unusual place to eat, sitting there, surrounded by intricate tapestries, with incredible carvings on the seats, walls & tables, it reminded us of a great holiday in Thailand. The staff greeted us very politely, took us to our table & gave us comprehensive menus to suit all tastes. The food was very nicely cooked & presented & this, along with all the other little touches at the tables it was, judging by the conversation in the car later where everyone was in agreement, a lovely experience. Thank you to all at the Rama.

Nipa Thai (now renamed Rama Thai) appears to be a popular restaurant and on entering, you can understand why. Beautifully decorated, it appears to be comparable to other good quality Thai restaurants in the area (Leamington and Warwick). Having previously visited, we were fairly sure what the standard of service and quality of food would be like. Unfortunately, this proved to not be the case.In terms of service, it was friendly enough, but the waiter was barely audible behind his mask (I appreciate this is likely to be a problem in these Covid secure times) and you couldn't be sure he had understood what had been ordered.When it came to the food, it was utterly appalling. My wife's soup came with a strand from a Brillo pad in it and having pointed this out to the waiter, he took it away and came back to explain this was from scrubbing the pan and... that was it! It was only through calling him over again, that he did say we could have another soup or alternatively, this would be deducted from the bill. As for the main courses, both mine and my wife's came in a thin broth like liquid. This seemed at odds to the description of dishes cooked with coconut milk, lime leaves, Thai basil etc... The horror though was the chicken - which reminded both of us of the sort of curry your mum would make from Sunday leftovers in the late 70s.A really unfortunate experience and one that has left us with the conclusion that despite previous experiences, we won't be returning. The real shame was that this meal was a rare night out (we have a young child) and was to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

We decided to try the Sunday lunch time buffet and were not disappointed. In the current times, you order from the menu rather than serving yourself from a buffet. This worked really well. Service was fast and friendly. The food was excellent. Very good value.

Could have been so much better with proper organisation. We were sat at a table next to a family who did not use masks when moving around the restaurant with no intervention by the staff. There were 6 of us at out table and it took 8 minutes for us all to get our starters delivered. When main courses came there were only 5 - they missed one, which funnily enough had been recommended to one of our party by the waiter as she did not want spicy food. Admittedly they sorted it out in 5 minutes and did not charge for that dish but too little too late in my view. Eating out with friends and family should be an enjoyable experience and this definitely failed the test. Concenus on the food was that it was good but not memorable.

Rama Thai restaurant, previously known as Nipa, proved a disaster as a takeaway choice. Two of us ordered Veggie Pad Thai. We discovered both had lots of chicken buried underneath the mass of noodles! The veggies consisted of about 5 slithers of pepper & spring onion. The noodles tasted & looked like they had been cooked in a sweet n sour sauce that was horrible. I could only eat a few mouthfuls, only to show appreciation for my meal. Never again.

We had really been looking forward to going out for a meal, but we will definitely never go back here. We had booked a table for 7pm and arrived a few minutes early. We waited 15 minutes for the table to be ready. It was then more than 15 minutes before our order was taken. The starters arrived at 8.20pm, just as we were ready to walk out. Several other tables had already left without being served. We should have done the same!! There were only 2 people waiting on in the whole restaurant. We were served our main course at 9.15pm. It was a really disappointing experience and we will never go back there. They need at least double the number of staff and then things might improve.

We booked a table for 7.00pm we waited 30 minutes before anyone took our drinks order. 10 minutes later we ordered our starters and mains. We waited a further 40 minutes before the starters came out. We ordered the satay chicken and a crispy duck. The satay chicken was cold and the duck looked like it came out of a frozen packet, it was extremely dry.we also ordered a jug of water that never came. While waiting for our food 12 people got up and left. After waiting a total of 1 hour and and 40 we canceled our mains and left. When speaking to the lady who severed us she just laughed it off and didn't apologise for our abismile time. Would definitely not recommend.

My daughter and I visited this restaurant at 6.15, great service, set menu £23.95 wasgood value with adequate portion sizes. Everything was very tasty and piping hot, our request for less garlic was applied to all the dishes. The restaurant and facilities were all spotlessly clean and the staff wore face masks. It was quite quiet but the restaurant is nicely decorated with a warm welcoming atmosphere. We would suggest perhaps an “All You Can Eat” type menu which goes down very well in other Asian restaurants in Rugby. Definitely worth a try for something different.

Staff were rude, not only to me but also saw them being rude to someone else. Requested access to the disabled toilet for my daughter, was told they would not unlock it for me because "they store stuff in there". Seems they rest a little as a result of the fine interior & not having much competition locally. Food was OK, went to the Sunday buffet. One or two of the trays the heater had gone out underneath & the food was cold. Definitely not going again. If the staff had been more polite or dealt with the situation differently my Birthday dinner may have been salvaged.

It is several years since we last visited for their fixed price Sunday lunch buffet. What an improvement! Previously so little food was put out that by the time you reached the self-service counter the food had already gone. This time so much improved. The only gripe was that often the meat element in each dish had almost disappeared, probably due to the greed of other diners. That said we will return as it offers good- value-for-money.

Due to holidays and illness we have not been back here since the end of last year.

Nothing had changed still first class service from friendly staff,and excellent food,could not ask for anything better. We wonder whether those who only give it 1 or 2 stars have actually eaten there at all, because we have never had a bad meal there and have been many times both in the evening and for the buffet on a Sunday lunch time,and will continue to use it.

The décor in this restaurant is very Thai beautiful attention to detail on the tables with decorated napkins etc and the background "tinkly" music nice and relaxing.

The restaurant itself has a good ambience and the staff are friendly, hence the 2 points.

Really not recommend if you want to gage a good time with some one you care about. We went this place as a family for the first time. We were given the wrong dishes as the starter with similar ingredients as we ordered. They found out after 10mins we had started eating. Not only they took the wrong the dishes away but also blame we didnot tell them about the wrong starter ( the male waiter/manger?) which we have totally no idea they were not the one we ordered. We spent nearly 50 pounds for three people (two adults and 3 years’ old boy. ) and receive terrible service. All curries tastes bitter after the the service.

We arrived at about 9;15pm and confirmed with the manager that they were still open. He seated us and everything was fine for about 5 minutes. Then for the next 40 minutes, apart from serving us our food and drink (all of which was very good by the way) the staff did nothing but noisily rearrange the furniture in the restaurant all around us. We'd come in for a peaceful meal and got anything but that. It was extremely disruptive and frankly made us feel like we were getting in the way of more important tasks that they had to do. We spoke to the manager who just explained that they were "getting ready for tomorrow"

From the calming music to the relaxing sounds of the water feature it isn’t just the atmosphere they’ve got right. Nipa Thai is simply one of the best restaurants around rugby. The staff are attentive, the setting is beautiful and the food is even more so. I had the Gaeng Panang Chicken and whilst it it was fiery; the fragrance of he lemongrass shone through. It was accompanied by jasmine rice which was sticky and fragrant, just as it should be!

We’ve been here several times over the years mainly on a Sunday for the buffet .

Haven't been here for a while but the same delicious food I remembered and the service was excellent. We came into contact with 4 staff and they were all lovely - happy and polite. Will be back soon.

Having used this restaurant since it opened, we were so disappointed on our visit yesterday. There was a very poor selection, it seems the price has stayed the same and the quality has gone down. Personally I would rather pay a little more and have the selection back. It seems since a change of manager, service has dipped considerably.

Recent visits have seen a great reduction in the number of dishes to choose from at the Sunday buffet lunch . No more salmon,fish cakes ,sushi,chicken soup , fried sweet corn and a few more options . The food is still excellent but the limited range makes it less attractive for a group with varying tastes. Service is still great and we often eat there at other times but this buffet option is definitely losing some of its appeal.

My partner bought me here for my birthday and I fell in love with Thai food. The flavour in the dishes were just amazing and not sickly. Staff were fantastic I couldn't fault the place at all. We shall be back now I'm eating Thai food. Only problem we had was finding somewhere to park.

This place could be so much better if the staff just smiled occasionally and interacted with the customers! 6 of us for a GCSE celebration dinner. Reasonably busy for a Thurs night. The lady who showed us to the table was so grumpy it was quite off-putting. The manager who floated around wasn't much better, and the guy bringing our plates had a scowl that again was really uncomfortable.

I would have been happy enough to just sit in 'Nipa' with its lovely Thai decor of lovely flower, plants, Buddhas,hand carved tables and water features. As it is the food not only looks lovely it tastes lovely too.

9 de nosotros visitamos este restaurante el viernes 28 de julio, elegimos la Nippa ya que había comido antes. Pedimos muy amablemente si podíamos tener facturas y todo fue cuesta abajo desde allí, el camarero masculino fue grosero! ! Cerrándose las órdenes hacia abajo y luego tratando de borrar la mesa mientras algunos de nosotros aún estábamos comiendo.

He visitado el restaurante unas cuantas veces en el pasado, pero esta es la primera vez que el buffet del domingo. Acompañado por mi esposa y dos hijas. No hubieron con la comida, pero al llegar nos sentamos por la camarera y, en pocos minutos, dijeron a mover en forma grosera, lo que parecía ser, el gerente. Él estaba dispuesto a discutir el asunto! Después de comer y solicitar la factura que fue una sorpresa cuando nos cobraron por 3 adultos y 1 niño. Sobre la consulta de la factura nos dijeron que mi hija que tiene 7 años de edad, fue cobrado como un adulto, porque ella era una altura particular que midan más! Ahora, no estoy seguro ya que al ser sobre un particular actualizaciones de altura de un bebé en un adulto? Ella es de altura promedio 7 años, delgado y comer tanto como un 7 año hace (muy poco), así que ¿cómo podrían justificar la carga como un adulto o siquiera sugerir que ella era un adulto? ! Yo estaba en shock, y pensé que era una broma hasta que su medida contra el "pilar de altura! (genial para gente como usted muy corto, puede conseguir una tarifa de niño si trae una persona alta como su padre). Sin embargo, mi hija era como ella siempre nos fastidió luego nos quedamos encantados porque nos quería ser un adulto!

Like Thai food, thought we would try takeaway before we used the restaurant. Glad we did. It was very poor and we won't be going there again.wouldn't recommend it to anyone

Booked a table as a birthday meal. The restaurant is stunning and the staff lovely. We had the house white (dry) to accompany our meal and found this very acceptable. We shared a starter of steamed green lipped mussels, chilli, garlic and fresh basil and Thai spicy prawn crackers with a sweet chilli sauce. The mains were delicious - stir-fried undong noodles with scallops, mussels, prawns, squid, fine beans, onions, chilli peppercorns, mushrooms and basil (Undong Pad Khee Mao). Stir-fried spicy seafood with lemongrass, krachai, kaffir lime leaves, young peppercorn, courgette, aubergine, red chillies, pepper and basil leaves (Pad Cha Talay), with Steamed Jasmine Rice (Kao Suay). Excellent restaurant to take your partner or for that special celebration - not cheap in comparison to say Indian or Chinese but well worth every penny - enjoy!

No nos hemos reservado una mesa porque estábamos pasando por Rugby en un concurrido sábado por la noche. Aunque el restaurante estaba lleno, todavía nos las arreglamos para encontrar mesa. Éramos un grupo de 3 personas y pedimos un menú fijo! La comida era increíble. Entrantes - costillas, satay de pollo, rollitos de primavera eran de fundición en boca! Los platos principales fueron muy deliciosa y las porciones eran muy grandes, aunque pedimos para 3 personas era más que suficiente para 4 - encantador curry verde tailandés, carne frita, stir frito con camarones, verduras, pollo salteado. Todo fue muy dice mmm deliciosa y llena de sabor! El restaurante en sí era muy bonito, con un ambiente encantador! Gracias

El restaurante es absolutamente impresionante. La comida es buena. Un buen lugar para llevar a tu pareja. La comida es bastante caro. . . En comparación con otras cocinas similares que probablemente no es muy diferente. Tiendo a ir para algo un poco más relación calidad-precio, pero como digo, un buen lugar para tomar a alguien por un regalo.

I came here with a large group from work. We had a lovely time, enjoyed some Singha beer and a selection of great Thai food. I had the pad Thai and it's one of the better ones I have ever had.

Había una gran selección de postres y té y café de cortesía. Sin duda volveré como su estupenda relación calidad-precio para lo que te dan.

Arrived late at night and surprised it was open. It is a takeaway. I ordered my food and was told I needed to wait for it to be cooked (always a good sign). The food was delicious hot, filling, fresh. The chicken just melted in my mouth and no stale papodoms!!! As it was quiet I had a good chat to the owner about his takeaway before my food was being prepared. I was so happy I ordered again tonight. Thank you.

Best Pad Thai, my sons favourite restaurant. How this place isn't full every night I'll never know. Owner and family are a delight and it is by a distance the best Thai food I've had in the UK.
