Original Thai in Huntingdonshire

Farewell and Thank you for your hard work and passion. Your unwavering commitment to excellence has left a lasting impact on all of us in Cambridgeshire. Thank you for the unforgettable food and personal experiences and being a part of the community since 2005. You will be deeply missed.

Unfortunately the food I ordered was very low quality. Pad Thai was bland, Som Tum salad was inedible and smelled horrible like it had gone bad.

Excellent Thai food, very authentic and tasty; great value too. Definitely recommend.

AMAZING STAFF. FOOD WAS NICE AND CAME OUT QUICK. ABSOLUTRLY LOVED THE EXPIRIENCE!!

Really excellent food and service. I would recommend anyone in the area to come and visit. The staff are really attentive and will care for whatever needs you have. The chefs also come down to check on you which is really nice, the food is by far the most authentic Thai I’ve had in England. Overall a great restaurant and I will definitely be coming back.

A beautiful restaurant with fabulous food. The staff are so welcoming and friendly which made our time even better. The food is authentic and very flavourful. Will definitely be returning!

An overall wonderful establishment. The food is excellent and the service is of the same high standard. Attentive wait staff and highly skilled chefs make returning to the restaurant imperative.

A bland restaurant with bland food... A pretty poor restaurant. Service is very dull and slow. Not very friendly or welcoming.. Need to learn customer service skills. Food is okay, very standard for the prices and came out cold. Drinks also expensive. Bland menu with not the best options. Seems like they care more about taking your money than giving you a customer service. Poor. Will give two stars as the food is okay. NEEDS ALOT OF IMPROVING

Takeaway turned up well late and food not that great! Had way better and cheaper! Not impressed at all.

Had a really nice meal here last night. The waitress gave good personal recommendations and the food was fresh and tasty. Sat not far from the front door under the heater! A good choice as people kept leaving the door open! Choice to dine here was based on Trip Adviser and the good feedback and comments left by the business owner there, in fact it’s those replies that swung it! Very nice and our thanks to the lovely waitress 👌

Enjoyed a lovely Valentines night meal here. Truly a top Thai restaurant, the food is delicious! We chose the set menu for two and were really impressed, excellent value for money and as good as we have had anywhere in Huntingdon. The staff are lovely, everybody happy and helpful. A great night.

I ate here for my work's Christmas outing and later I took my parents here for their anniversary, absolutely delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. The only negative is that the food can take a while to come out but it's 100% worth the wait. All staff I interacted with were super friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be going back at every opportunity!

First visit, will be going again!

My partner & I came here for dinner one night during our visit to Huntingdon. The whole experience was fantastic! All the dishes we ordered were absolutely beautiful, Tom-Kha Seafood was delicious, and the service was excellent too. Courteous staff, very welcoming chef. She came out to greet us with a big smile, which I thought was a nice personal touch. If we ever return to Huntingdon again, we'll definitely pay another visit. Highly recommended.

The food is superb, although the service is a little slow and a bit amateur. For me, though, the quality of the food is the most important thing, hence the 5 stars.

The seating is limited but the food is worth it. Spicy means spicy and that is fantastic. They have a nice selection of Thai beers as well. The staff was great and very receptive to the needs of the customers. I suggest you make a reservation.

Overall food quality and Thai food authenticity is very very low (Coconut milk used is not fresh and fried items are too oily, wrong description provided on the ordered item, wrong item served after a long wait on a quiet night) . Not organised service either! Needs a lot of improvement, I won't recommend this place to anyone!

Among the best Thai food I've eaten in recent years. We were a party of sixteen, who had stopped over for dinner. The menu is elaborate and caters to diverse choice of food preferences. Almost all the items on the menu..May it be curries, stir fries or rice/noodle preparations could be customized to vegetarian, vegan or choice of meat dish. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was spot on and rightly portioned. Will definitely revisit, the next time I'm in this area.

Nice meals, good size portions, friendly staff. Enjoyed my meal there.

Food was so good! Staff were friendly too.

We booked a table on the app but they couldn't find it. Food was ok. Gen pad curry no 27 was very salty. The rest was ok. They brought dish by dish , then we had to ask for cutlery. Seem quite disorganised. Also seem to prioritise take away. People order food from take way but prices incorrect the staff said prices gone up. Which fair enough but change the menu then. There was a lot locals related to the restaurant the night we went. Overall just ok. Staff needs better training and better organization. Food all needs to be serviced together and less salty. Average Thai but disorganised.

Really good tasting Thai food served by very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend 👌

The food and the service is wonderful. They take a bit of time for the food when it's busy but that's a problem from them being too good.

Just had Stir-Fry Pad Prig Gang (spicy) that wasn't spicy at all and had to ask for chilli oil. Ordered with small Jasmin Rice that came toghether near to £16 for most expensive seafood option £9.20 Not worth it at all, my meal was mainly onions, carots and peppers no curry or courgette and bamboo shoots. 3 prawns and bits of 3 squid a bit like a joke to my last meal in Thai place. Response from the owner 57 minutes ago Respons: Hi Mario, I have just checked your order and what you had was a seafood pad nam man hoi, (which is vegetables and seafood cooked in oyster sauce it’s not a spicy dish, unless you request it to be) not a pad prig gang which is a dry red curry that is spicy. So even got served different than ordered. I was after No.37 How much worse can it get?

Nice food, currently good value for money.

Delicious food, very aromatic. Friendly atmosphere and personnel. Good price and big portions. Positive vibes

Absolutely shocking. Ordered from this place last night. They left our rice out so we only had half of the meal delivered. And what was delivered was deeply unpleasant. I had the seafood Pad Nam-man Hoi and it was just greasy water with some semi cooked vegetables and a couple of bits of seafood. Bland greasy water for £9.50. My partner had some noodles that were so overcooked that it was just mush. This wasn't Thai food at all, it was an expensive, greasy, small portioned mess. We had the hors d'ouvers starter for £10, to their credit this actually had some flavour to it but was hideously over priced. It may be ok for a sit in meal but that was the worst take out we've ever had the misfortune of having

Delicious food, fresh, clean good service staff Will Go Back Again😘😘😘

Can't figure out why this place was empty! Great food and massive portions. Fantastic, attentive service, but very few customers.

Perfect every single time - the food for takeaways and sitting in is always to the highest standard and so is the service. Never had better Thai anywhere else!

How on earth do you have 4.4 stars. Worst food I have ever ordered. Never again.

The delivery was quick and efficient, but the food was tasteless and bland. 🤮 I love Thai food, but this taste nothing like it. Thai food should be a balanced combination of spicy, sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavours which stimulates your entire pallet with each bite. This was just watery, bland, and overcooked and only stimulated my gag reflex.

Nice location, fair food but a little overcooked in my opinion. I enjoyed my dinner

Just tried for the first time, the yellow curry was delicious! My partner had the sweet and sour chicken, and again, delicious and flavoursome. Would highly recommend to my friends.

This has to be one of the strangest takeaway meals I have ever had! This was £20! It was bland with absolutely no flavour, It was pretty much a Mediterranean style dish, it was also very greasy and all I could taste was grease. Really over priced for a small portion what had no flavour. Really bizarre type of dish, definitely not Thai food! Delivery was very fast, that was the only positive thing about the experience The meal I ordered was the Weeping Tiger! Not the “pad nam man hoi” As you can see from the owners response to my review they don’t even know what their food is!! says it all really 😂 Also this meal came with cucumber which I don’t eat, the Weeping Tiger doesn’t state that it comes with cucumber

Despite visiting this restaurant last year and leaving without eating after waiting over an hour without any food or acknowledgment of the waiting time, we decided to give it another chance and ordered take away. The sauce for the Massaman curry was very watery, with not much meat or vegetables. The weeping tiger dish was small and bland and not how it is in other restaurants. The starters were not great quality but were ok, however the sauces were only a quarter full in the plastic tubs! Delivery was prompt but the food is disappointing for what you pay.

We been here yesterday evening based on my wife’s suggestion (Thai cuisine) but mine was Chinese. But had a tasty food , excellent service . Quality and quantity of the food are top notch. Our order: Bangkok chicken starter Thai red king prawns curry Egg fried rice Chicken fried rice made with sweet chilli paste . Highly recommend 👍

Do not order delivery. After a hour and a half wait, the only food I got was a text saying it was delivered. You can’t get in contact with them. Your food won’t be delivered.

Had a fantastic take away tonight, food hot tasty & on time 👍

Food was excellent however,The service was poor considering there were only 5 tables at one time and it was 19:30

Love coming here the food is always great and the service is good too

Food delivery turned up late 80 mins. Food cold. Not good considering always been a good experience before

Current experience; on Saturday 26Nov 2022. Level of business. Quite only tree tables occupied. Party size. 6. Service. Meet and greet good, Service. Starters was served quickly main meals brought out piece meal with some already getting cool. My main meal was arrived at table15 minutes following that of my guests.🙁 Quality and value £, remains very tasty and good value for money although service needs attention. Previously received an after dinner mint on payment, this nice touch was absent and although only small thing placed dining out at Original Thai above the rest. Also despite asking to pay bill, ended up walking to the checkout. Hopefully these omissions were isolated instances and normal service will be resumed. .......... At last a restaurant that has good service , good food and good prices. Watch this place grow they have what it takes something for everyone. To be totally honest the only thing not available is a drink license and that does not worry me in the slightest, I can take a bottle or enjoy an alcohol free meal. I would consider this probably the best Thai in the area and collect value for money on the lunch menus. Just try it and you will find you keep going back.

Lovely place to eat. Great food, attentive staff. Only down side was only small bottles of beer available as apposed to a nice cold pint of draft!!

Delicious, fresh veggies, nice staff. We've enjoyed everything we've tried. The kids love it, too.

Went for a sit in and the food was amazing. Ordered the same menu for a delivery and probably the worst food I have ever had.👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 very dissapointed.

Visited the restaurant with my daughter on Thursday 13/10/22 at around 6pm. It was quiet when we arrived but it wasn’t long before the restaurant was full. And it soon became clear why they were busy - the food was absolutely amazing. We went with set menu A for 2. A good selection of starters and 3 main dishes with rice, at £35 it was excellent value. With a couple of cokes the total came to just under £40. The front of house girl was polite and attentive, took our order promptly and checked in on us once the food arrived just to make sure everything was ok. The lady that was running in and out of the kitchen bringing the food to tables was very smiley and lovely. Overall it was such a nice experience, loved the food and loved the staff. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Pretty good food. Slightly slow service.

I love this place. Inside is a nice friendly atmosphere playing thai music - very relaxing, and for take outs, In terms of spiciness obviously it’s in England so you won’t get your food thai spicy if you don’t ask for it, but I always ask and it’s just lovely. Amazing food.

Very poor - I ordered a take away and after 30 mins - I chased it up they said the restaurant was busy ! 12 diners - after 45 mins I chased it again and was told my takeaway food had been given to people eating in the restaurant - 50 mins of my life wasted - will never use this restaurant again

I went to another restaurant first, forgetting that it was a Friday evening and I hadn't booked. It was full. I found Original Thai and was surprised that it was empty. No-one sitting at any of their many tables. Now I know why. The starter (fishcakes) was horrible. Made in a factory and tasted of plastic. I sent most of it back, telling them why. I ordered a Thai Salad as a main course (a dish I have ordered many times in other Thai restaurants and always loved). This one was unpleasant. I ate it as I was hungry but explained that I hadn't really enjoyed it. They charged me full price for everything and there's no way I would ever go back. Later that night I had an upset stomach. I am not saying it was definitely their food that did it - only that I didn't have anything else to eat and was not unwell in any other way.

The curry was very nice and the calamari starter was good.🦑

We've always had an amazing time here.. aunty is so good and if she's cooking,boy, the food is brilliant!! Everything is awesome!!

Duck green curry was good and was a decent portion size. Sadly the 2 sides I ordered where a little underwhelming with the salted squid being a soggy and a small portion size and the prawn toast being very greasy. I would still order again but would stick to the main dishes. I went into the restaurant to collect my food as a takeaway, when I went in the place was empty but looked clean and nice for those considering eating in.

Love love love the food and soooo happy they don't use any msg! Other Asian restaurants could take some lessons from Original Thai. Thank you for the wonderful food. Yummy food doesn't have to be unhealthy and you guys certainly prove this 🙂

Pad Thai, on time and delicious.

Very authentic Thai food. Loved it and will definitely be back.

Really tasty. Friendly staff. Proper portion sizes. Amazing value. Recommended by my mate Bradley and we will definitely be back.

Very tasty and mouth watering food Indeed.

I'm always so impressed with whatever I order from here. The cashew chicken stir fry is a real stand out as well as the Thai fishcakes. Would recommend to anyone in the area :--)

I went with the basic Chicken Pad Thai and was disappointed. I’m not sure if the plate was made for the local population, because I’ve had Pad Thai before, and this was not it.

Excellent take away - really loved the Dry Vegetable Red curry with tofu- absolutely superb accompaniment for the fish dish and salted squid

Good food. Fast service. Shame we had to ask for cutlery and serviettes to be provided ! But top notch food at a good price

Wow I have to say, not good. Delivery guy was nice. On time. No issues. The food was just bad. I got the pad Thai and panang chicken curry. The first was tasteless. The chicken in the curry was so over cooked I could not bite into it. Like it was leather. Also came with no rice for the curry which was… interesting. Edit: I called the restaurant and they were cool about it. Was refunded. Willing to try this place again since it has normally good reviews.

Went there for dinner yesterday and the service was great and the food was as well.

I went and got the jungle curry with egg fried rice service was fast and friendly and the food was quick to come and was some of the best Thai food I’ve eaten definitely coming back and recommend !!

Food was great, great service, was advised length of time to wait for food due to being cooked from scratch and I can say it was worth the wait, the price personally could have been higher for the quality of the food, owner was very friendly, came over and was very chatty whilst we waited, would recommend to everyone ☺️

Beautiful food and such a lovely team! Portion sizes are incredible and you definitely come out feeling full, but not guilty of having an unhealthy dinner! Have already recommended this place to so many people, definitely suggest to anyone giving it a try - satay chicken starter is delicious!

I ordered paper prawns''chicken satay'pad thai and a spicy beef and prawn rice.the starters were great but the pad thai was really dry and tasted like a Chinese dish not thai..the main courses was really dry apparently according to the manager it doeasnt transport well and they were dry dishes .not true avoid

Amazing food, fantastic portion sizes and great hospitality. I am not a spice fan so was hesitant to try but the chefs done a great job of making my food perfect. Would recommend to absolutely anyone, even first timers to Thai food.

Food is very good service is a bit disjointed but ok as they are very busy doing takeaway. Very friendly family business

WOW..This is genuinely authentic Thai Food. Well done to chatty handsome Alex

Great staff beautiful food and spectacular value for money just found my new number one takeaway!

Love this place! Great food and friendly staff.

Lovely fresh, tasty food, great service and very reasonably priced. As a coeliac it’s also brilliant to be able to choose from the majority of the menu. Highly recommended, will be visiting again.

Ordered a takeaway - advised 20 minutes - 4 hours later Nothing! What rubbish service! Dont deserve to be in business. I have eaten in before this with indifferent service as well. Been to lots of other Thai places - this is the poorest of them all.

The food is delicious and as a vegetarian I appreciate the number of vegan/vegetarian adaptions to dishes!

Original Thai is an attractive and cosy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. I was here with my partner recently and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. We did not book a table nor plan to visit here; it was a lovely surprise to stumble upon the restaurant and to have a brilliant impromptu experience. We will definitely return and could not recommend Original Thai any higher. :)

A hidden gem in Huntingdon. The food was delicious and the staff couldn't do more to ensure a delightful dining experience. Thank you all; we loved it, and will surely be back soon

The food is amazing ,the staff make you feel very welcome , look forward to eating there again .

Great food, good service and lovely atmosphere.

This place is brilliant with really lovely staff. At first glance it looks like there aren’t many vegan options on the menu but the staff are more than happy to accommodate vegans if you ask them. I ordered the pad Thai rice noodles with tofu and it was delicious! I’d definitely recommend this place. The food is great, the staff are very friendly and helpful and it’s right in Huntingdon town centre. If I ever go back to Huntington I’ll definitely come here again.

Great food , Great Service ! Looking for authentic Thai food , not all that mass produced samey tasting stuff ... this is your place ! The food is fresh and tasty and each dish that came out during our meal was equally as good. The family run service approach is lovely and warming. We will definitely be back again and will definitely recommend to others ! thanks again :)

The food is delicious, and all freshly cooked, would definitely recommend a visit or takeaway. I would suggested booking ahead if wanting to eat in as they do seem pretty popular. Will definitely be going back to try more on the menu.

Decided to go to Original Thai restaurant for our Daughters birthday celebrations. Been here a few times before and as usual wasn’t disappointed. Food was absolutely delicious, great service as always and they even helped us surprise her with a birthday cake! Perfect night and one happy Daughter. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back soon!

Very good flavours, lots of choices .

Ordered a takeaway online on their website at 6.40 …. 9 o’clock and we still haven’t got it ….. called numerous times each time they said 10 mins …. very very disappointing not going to order again …. and I haven’t even tasted the food yet …. Not good

Very good food friendly service

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great to see lots of vegan options.

Absolutely delicious food (had the Bangkok Chicken - highly recommend). Friendly owners too. Highly recommend.

We found Original Thai when looking for a place to eat yesterday ,having found other "authentic" Thai resturants lacking in originality and taste this turned out to be an extremly pleasant change The food was indeed freshly cooked with flavour and taste forefront ( great ingredients really do help) , the service was spot on and we found out that the "new" owners had only been running for threee weeks , we ended up chatting and even offered us a complimentry beer :) We will certinaly be revisiting to eat here again as the food was that good --- ( but please ask the chap on his speakerphone to turn it down LOL ) Chris n Lise

Amazing genuine thai food for great prices. Good livin'

Brilliant food great service ... their phone continously ringing can drive one nuts

Loved this place. Superb food and friendly staff.

Very happy with the quality of food. Was delicious, filling and clearly all handmade. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend

Had a lovely meal here last week, courtesy of a gift voucher bought just before lockdown, excellent service, amazing food and plenty of space to ensure social distancing rules were adhered to. Highly recommended.

Tastes like if you are in Thailand, was a nice surprise!

Called and ordered food. When I called about 40 minutes later, it turned out that they lost my order and I had to go elsewhere. Very rude staff. Never again.

Love this place authentic food at good prices

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and excellent quality food. We have been pleased with each dining experience we’ve had here. Pad Thai and Thai iced tea are my faves and although that might be a typical order, my husband has tried various dishes and has never been disappointed. We’ll be back!
