Rama in Rugby

The food in here ia amazing. I had Rama cakes which were minced chicken and prawn covered in breadcrumbs & deep fried, and lamb red Thai curry. Drinks were also excellent especially the Argentinian Malbec. Really friendly & attentive service too. Will definitely go again, because everybody else's food looked amazing too!

A hidden gem! Such beautiful interior, and good service. The food is excellent; fresh and great quality. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous food, wonderful service and a stunning restaurant, what's not to love! If your in Rugby definitely give Rama a try!

Driving through Rugby, found this place through TripAdvisor. I was super impressed. I've worked in a Thai restaurant in New Zealand so i have high standards of Thai food. This place do it really well and the decor and furniture in there is incredible. Reasonable prices too, specially with the set menus. I would return happily!

We went in today for some lunch and was quite surprised by how rude the elder lady who served us was, the food was okay but her attitude towards the customers was pretty bad; which was a shame as it was a friends birthday.

worst service I have had from a restaurant. Our group arrived 630 and ordered food including few Set Menu After more than an our the starter came. Food stopped after that and another hour past nothing more was served. Table around us were also getting no food and began to leave. We gave up and asked to cancel our orders since two hours has already passed and we were not prepare to wait any longer. No explanation no apology and no excuse was given. The waitress began to do the bill. To my surprise they split out the starter to charge us and cancelled the main course and desert! Money is not the matter, their food was delayed two hours and they even dare to split out the starter we have and charge separately. No explanation and without any apology. In a way I was astonished instead of refund or simply cancel the Set, they even dare split out the starter to charge separately! worst customer service and attitude I have ever since from a restaurant. Feels like a scam place that once you go in you cannot leave without paying for something. I even wonder whether they deliberately not serve food and make you wait till you run out of patience. TOTAL SCAM

Magnificent place, feels like been in Thailand. Great food and lovely staff, would recommend to everyone who likes Thai food.

The food was okay, would have loved it to be more spicy like the real Thai food is, but the flavours were there. Also the portions were tight for the cost, it’s not cheap. The cocktail was disappointing, tasted too sweet just like juice box. Loved the decor.

Gone down hill, been coming here for a few years and won't be coming again. Ordered tempura prawns but received breaded that looked like you could have been from a supermarket freezer section. Hardly any meat in the curry.

Have had a few meals here in the last six months.The food is always great and the staff are lovely. Can't fault it and can't wait to go again

Very authentic restaurant with amazing staffs and food.

Worst Thai meal we have ever had. Ordered soup starter which was like boiled chicken in water with some chilli oil thrown in, two steak sizzler meals, presented on the smallest of sizzle dish which didn't sizzle and contained meagre amount of vegetables including fried potatoes?? Steak was a cheap cut at over £17 per meal. I've had better takeaways at half the price or could have made better myself. Won't be visiting again or Rugby town centre for that matter used to be a nice vibrant town, not anymore.

The food and service is 10/10, I would highly recommend 👌

Delicious food. Immaculate service. Beautiful furnishings. Personality in service with mutual respectful humour. Thank you to all at Rama

Food really nice but portions quite small

In summary excellent food and great service in a well decorated setting. We had a really good feast for two of us, with all the food brought to us at the same time. Staff were all very friendly. Our order: - POA PIAH PED (Deep fried shredded spring roll) (starter) Very tasty and crispy. The duck & vegetables were cooked really well and good amounts of both. Complimented by a great dip. - GAENG DANG (Red Thai Curry, Chicken) First time I've had a bit of spice to a RTC which was a welcome change. This didn't detract from the rest of the flavours, you could taste the coconut and spices. I will be adding spice to my own RTCs. - WEEPING TIGER (sirloin steak) We had ours medium rare and it came out beautifully. Lovely seasoning and melt in the mouth texture! The sauce that came with it was really nice. PLA SAM ROD (battered sea bass) A new favourite for me, lovely white flakey fish in a nice batter, accompanied with some good toppings & flavours. 2x Sticky Rice 2x Singha beers Every dish was well presented. Some small negatives, no papaya salad options were available and while the tables are very well decorated, I found it difficult to place my legs comfortably on the small two person table and was sitting a little awkwardly throughout. Otherwise we'll definitely be back when we're in Rugby again or near by, this is so far my favourite Thai experience.

Excellent food, great service. Lovely Thai decor with lots of traditional wood carvings Sea bass was fantastic. Cashew chicken really good too just missing a bit of sauce. We look forward to returning.

Great atmosphere, great service and great food. We've been here a few times now and we've always been impressed.

My wife and I go to Rama quite regularly in the week and have great experiences. However, we went a couple of Saturdays ago with a party of 8. Food was great as normal but the service was poor. We waited hours for our food and only had two rounds of drinks as no one offered us any more. We did not even get a chocolate/mint with the bill. I understand that sometimes staffing issues arise, but would it would be nice to acknowledge this and offer an apology.

Fantastic place. Tables are placed nicely, so you're not sitting too close to other diners. Food is exceptional! All the staff are wonderful & the place was immaculate. Thoroughly enjoyable night was had by all

Although passing by many times, this was our first visit to Rama, and although a little expensive, we really enjoyed our visit. Inside, the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and ascetically is very pleasing, with lots of wood carvings making this feel quite authentic. Rama Thai is a good size too, not too big where it feels too quiet but with ample space between tables so you don't feel cramped. We went on a Friday night as a 4 and although we didn't need a reservation, there were numerous other guests which was nice. The service was lovely; charming servers and the food came out rather quickly. To start I had 'Rama Cake', deep fried chicken & prawns in breadcrumbs. The texture was a little rubbery inside but you could distantly taste each of the chicken & prawn which was very nice. You get 3 of these cakes but they are quite small, I did eat the garnish too but I'm not sure if that was meant for decoration... The main was very good, I had 'Nua Pad Prik Tai Dam' which is sirloin steak pieces with onions, peppers, mushrooms, carrots and spring onions in a black pepper sauce served on a sizzling dish. The steak was really good, excellent quality and was still pink in the middle. The black pepper sauce was quite salty but this is how I like it and the mushrooms were the standout from the veg. We also shared a 'Kao Neaw' (sticky rice) & 'Chips' between 2; this was honestly the stickiest rice I've ever had and went really well with my main. The chips were crispy & fresh but the portion was very small, definitely would not get them to share next time. Although portion sizes for the starters and sides were not quite filling enough for the price, the food on the whole was very good. With a great menu, lovely decor and friendly service (also a fantastic Mojito), we would happily return to Rama 7.5/10 Visited Friday 26th January 2024

Charcoal cooked prawns are worth trying

Beautiful little restaurant with friendly service and flavoursome authentic food. Highly recommend!

First time at Rama, and we opted for the lunch time menu but were left a little disappointed with the portion sizes. We thought that ordering two Meze set meals would be a good choice and a starter for us to share but we were left feeling rather hungry. The place itself is very authentic and the staff were friendly and attentive. We could not fault the food it was just the portion sizes that we felt let it down.

Waited 20 minutes for starters to arrive, 45 minutes have passed after we finished the starters and still no main. Cancelled the order and was still charged half of our meal. NEVER AGAIN! Funny how the table behind us full of Thai people was served right away despite arriving an hour after us.

Poor service and long wait for the food

Delicious authentic dishes and happy friendly service

Excellent restaurant, beautiful decor lots of hand carved wood. Very clean and well presented. The staff and service was excellent. The food was very good and tasty. Would eat there again.

Fantastic food and quick service

Authentic, delicious & fresh Thai food, beautiful interior, with friendly & helpful staff. When walking in, feels like I’m back in Thailand with the stunning decor & relaxing background music. Would visit again! ❤️ We had the Rama special Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, chicken Massamam curry, & seafood salad Yum Talay.

The food is delicious and the interior is unique and nice.

Again and again a great experience. Food is incredible, service was fast

Food was amazing, would recommend it if you are ever in Rugby.

Food was good but waited over 1 hr 15 mins for food, not sure if I would return if the service remains like this

They need more staff when it's busy but the food is great.

An on the spur of the moment lunch visit. It was very quiet but that didn't detract from the atmosphere and we couldn't fault the service or the food. We chose from the meze menu and were not disappointed. Wil definitely go back.

Probably the best restaurant in Rugby. So good in fact that we had both lunch and dinner there during our day trip to visit family. The decor and ambience is amazing with food and service to match. Great Tom Yum soup, starters, pad thai and curries. Worth a visit.

Got an order to take away and was allowed to order ahead for a specific time. Food was great so next time we will be dining in, the restaurant's decor is nicely done and the price was reasonable.

3rd time I've been here. Excellent menu, fantastic service and great food.

Lovely food and clean, well presented restaurant

Had a fantastic Thai meal - super fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. I had the spicy steak main (sorry don't recall name correctly) and it was delicious. Good choice of wines.

Love this place and all of the dishes I have tried so far. The lunch menu is particularly great value for money and a great reason to visit

You guys set a new standard for the worst takeaway food in my experience I’m sorry, generously giving 2 stars for the politeness over the phone, but food is a joke (see photos). Is your eat in menu the same?? I’m shocked how you managed to get that many good ratings?! 😱😱😱 Red Thai curry - very spicy red water with one piece of aubergine and one slice of green pepper with several pieces of tasteless chicken. Rice is another masterpiece - sticky rice is a ball of rice literally glued up together, you can’t cut a bit of it with a spoon or fork! No flavour. Spring rolls, the least worse item, but the worst one I’ve had in the entire uk. We also ordered Soup called Tom Kha - white liquid with several pieces of mushroom and chicken, that’s all! I wouldn’t have taken this food if you paid me to eat it. It’s either the arrogance of these Thai people towards the Rugby population, or just totally failed business.

Excellent food and service . Lovely flavours

Wonderfully decorated restaurant. Lunch food was a bit not Thai taste, more for English pallet.

Delicious food, excellent service, fantastic prices. We will be back!

Delicious food Lovely staff Beautiful setting Nice atmosphere

Tasty food and lovely people 🥰 highly recommended

Really nice authentic atmosphere inside , really nice food as well

Good food, great service, excellent value for money. Gets my recommendation.

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.

Thai food for a western palate but good size portions and fresh food with very attentive service.

Fantastic food, great service! Will be returning regularly for sure!

A strong disappointment. I was put of with the flavoured water that I received as a soup. With only a few pieces of chicken and mushrooms, there was no taste of any broth , as if it was water with some spices. The main dish was all right in taste, but the portion In comparison to other Thai/Cantonese restaurants I dined in, was pretty humble. The good part was the presentation of the meal.

Beautiful furnishings & decor. Delightful, attentive staff. Delicious food.

This restaurant used to do a good Thai buffet lunch when it was Nipa. It is now Rama, and doesn't. We had lunch time fixed price menu which is very reasonably priced. Food is good, portions of curry and rice for main are small, but this is a good thing really...enough without getting over stuffed. Curry sauces edging towards too salt, but ok. Decor of the restaurant is really nice...wooden Thai carvings.

Absolutely beautiful fresh food and lovely people. The service was so good. This was our first time visiting (last Saturday) having struggled to find a nice Thai restaurant near to us in Leicester. We will definitely be returning, what a find! Also the restaurant is nicely situated, if you want to make an evening of it. We will definitely be back 😊

Very good wood carvings everywhere. Set for 2 meals are decent amount for two and half people.

Located on the edge of Birminghams jewellery quarter, this is a bit of a hidden gem! The exterior of the restaurant is inauspicious enough, but toncw inside you are treated to a lavish interier full of warm colours, fantastic eromas and comfortable sofas. The staff are friendly and knowledge. Agreat atmosphere, good food and a fair price. This is certainly a step up from just going out for a curry!

Gorgeous place, lovely food, a good range on the menu and lovely staff. Thank you

Delicious food served quickly, such friendly staff and a real sense of Thailand

Hey! Absolutely unsatisfied. We got Tom Yum soups which are 6£ there was three prawns and 1 sliced mushroom. Also beef dish wasn’t actually beef tasted like chicken. Wasted money and ruined dinner!

Love the food. The cocktail are lovely. Staff are friendly

Order charcoal grilled chiken, was served chiken cooked in oily pan. Second thing is service. The guy who was servicing us was so rude and unprofessional, because of this situation my weekend evening was ruined. And they declined ours request to change a meal or don't charge money for this meal. We didn't even touch the food and they charge for all dishes. So paid 50£ for 2 cocktail. AVOID THIS PLASE ITS FREE ADVICE

Always served tasty food here :)

Nice interior decoration and ambiance. Good service.

Food was very tasty and service was great. Will definitely be going back. Few weeks later had a takeaway too and food quality was still fantastic.

Fantastic food and excellent service 👌

Lovely restaurant, extraordinary food. We definitely will go again.

Loved the food, ambience and the staffs there. Great Thai food. Too many options to try among veg and non-veg menu items

Food was great- although for some who visit, they may have no idea of what the dishes are like, so perhaps pictures would help on the menu's? Tables for two could be a litlle bigger too, they're just not quite enough if you're ordering something that comes on more than one plate or dish. Alcoholic drinks are very steep, waitress service could have been a little quicker, and food portions are only just enough and could be a little bigger especially on the starters, what turned up for two of us i thought was for one of us!! But other than that all ok.But very expensive for what it is.

Amazing food very nicely decorated as well. Lot of thought and care put into the restaurant. Will definitely be coming back

Great food and service. SURELY RECOMEND

Very helpful staff, lovely food and the house wine (red) was great... Helped by the lovely glass.

Wanted to try this Thai place during the weekend and was very disappointed. High wait times even though the restaurant was not busy. Food prices were very expensive, which we expected but the quantities were so small and taste/flavour were not satisfactory. Parking around the restaurant was challenging. Didn't appreciate pushing for a tip in the end! Unfortunately we will not be going back here.

Beautiful food never let down on the flavour would highly recommend

Beautiful flavours food decorated was lots Wood carving and orchid flower and Buddha statuses staff were fabulous could not do enough did not have wait long between meals and drinks topped up when finshed lots smiles 😀 😊 For us two starters 2 mains 4 drinks under 70 pound definitely go back as local

Lovely food, good service. The salt & pepper squid could’ve been spicier but the weeping tiger was delicious & tender.

Lovely food, friendly staff and beautiful decor 👌🏻

Very attentive staff, great food and lovely setting

Been there first time and really enjoyed! Service is on high level, very friendly and polite staff. Design of restaurant is amazing, very special and unique atmosphere. Clean and tidy. Food is amazing, very nice cocktails. Wide range of meals. Definitely will go again! Highly recommended place 💯

Had a great meal .. not cheap but great quality the sizzling tiger was awesome

Lovely place, great service from friendly people and fantastic food.

Food of a very poor quality Was physically and verbally abused by the staff Would avoid at all costs Food was raw Tryed to overcharge me Tried to charge me for other people Food My children were scared

1st visit. Absolutely lovely food. Fantastic service. Value for money.

We were the only people in the restaurant. Food absolutely fine, but some staff very abrupt and short. Last comment from staff member "do you want your bill or what?" Think this person needs a little more training. 😀

Absolutely beautiful place inside definitely a must try for anyone that loves Thai food and would love an authentic Thai food experience would recommend anyone fantastic experience and set my Thai food experience very high

I've been in here a couple of times now, and food has been spot on, really good, in fact.... Service has been somewhat a different experience. But generally good, my last visit needed prompting that we were still waiting for our food and that we had polished off a bottle of wine whilst waiting, that being said it has been a one off so far and won't stop me going back....

Fantastic authentic meal and service. Restaurant also has some amazing traditional decor. Perfect.

Have been there many times, since rugby does not have much Asian food. But the staff is rude, really rude, the altitude is not good, the food quality is just normal but the price is high. If we have a choice to choose an Asian restaurant, I swear I will never choose Rama! Never again!

What a disappointment. I use to loved the place but now I don't think I will ever go again. We waited for our meal 1,5h. Left the place well after 22:30 which ruined our evening plans. The meal was avarage at best but we were overcharged like never before... disaster! Never again.

Been to this restaurant many times over the years and it never fails on taste ! I cant believe this place isn't busier as the food is great and the staff are very attentive. Big thumbs up from me.

Fantastic Service, great food and surroundings, good value and quality for your money.

Amazing food! One of my favourite place in Rugby!

Tried the special lunch menu. Prawn toasts and deep-fried squid are okay, a bit greasy. Pad thai is good but the noodle is supposed to be one size bigger. Service a bit slow.

A really nice place to sit and dine, excellent cuisine, also a quiet place. Highly recommend!

So lovely.. the ambiance and food

Great food, quite pricey though.

Excellent Thai restaurant! Delicious food and great service. Highly recommended.

Will recomend for anyone who wants to eat in nice place excellent food from friendly staff.
