Royal Siam in Dartford

We did plan to go here for dinner but had to work late ! Ordered takeaway instead and it was superb. We had korma, oad thai red curry and massaman. Very tasty and will be visiting the restaurant for sure . Nice friendly delivery driver too

Always a good meal here. Plenty of choice and the staff are great. Well worth a visit.

Review: A Disappointing Dining Experience for a Family Celebration I had high hopes for Siam Radhuny in Dartford, but unfortunately, our experience was nothing short of disappointing. We were a party of seven celebrating a special family birthday and had booked well in advance, receiving confirmation of our reservation online. However, when we arrived, it became clear that our booking had been entirely overlooked. Despite showing the confirmed reservation on email at the door, we were left waiting for a table to become available and cleaned. This was not the start we had envisioned for our celebration. The issues didn’t end there. Once seated, our starters arrived at different times, with some members of our party finishing their plates long before the last person was served. Even more frustrating, there was over an hours wait between finishing our starters and the main course arriving, leaving us wondering if we had been forgotten. We had to ask several times being told that our mains were on their way. When the main courses finally arrived, two of the side dishes were cold - not just lukewarm, but cold to the touch - and had to be sent back to the kitchen. My mother’s tofu dish seemed to be overcooked, making it hard and chewy, not the soft texture one would expect from tofu. Additionally, the service throughout the meal was poor. The waiters were inattentive, rarely checking in on us, and we struggled to get their attention for additional drinks. Some of the cutlery was also dirty, which we asked to be replaced, only to have to remind the waitress to bring replacements. Once we finished our mains, the neglect continued. There was no attention to our table, and we had to actively seek out someone to ask for the bill as we had decided not to wait further for deserts or coffees. When we raised our concerns with the manager, his only excuse was that the restaurant was busy. He had no empathy to the situation or resolution, even with his "30 years experience in the business???". It took prompting from us to even get an apology from the manager, and there was no offer of compensation or even a round of complimentary drinks to make up for the poor experience. We even had to ask for the service charge to be removed from the bill - a service charge that certainly wasn’t earned. Overall, what should have been a memorable birthday celebration was tainted by subpar service, long waits, and poorly executed dishes. It’s hard to imagine returning after such a frustrating experience. We expected far more, especially given the occasion. A restaurant’s success hinges on more than just food - it’s about the experience, the service, and this one failed on every level. I didn't want to give them even 1 star..... To add, this restaurant seems to focus on its take-away customers, as take-away orders seemed to leaving the kitchen faster that dine in customers..... what a great business model!

I give two stars… not only I’ve been here before and it’s been absolutely grand! But came here last night with the family for my birthday meal! I booked online via their booking on their website got a confirmation email saying tables all booked at the start of the month We arrived yesterday night at 7pm (time I booked) and my reservation wasn’t on the list I said I booked online showed the girl my confirmation booking. She then said wait a minute and got another staff member She then came back and said we’re just getting the table ready for you.. so not only our reservation ‘wasn’t there’ the table wasn’t even ready. The only lovely waitress who ordered our drinks then came back and ordered our starters and mains perfectly Waited around 30 mins for our starters okay not bad BUT some starters came and we was waiting 10-15 mins for the rest of the starters. Finished our starters plates were cleared and we ordered more drinks we was waiting around further 20 mins for our second round of drinks to come even though we was right next to the bar. We then waited 40-45 mins nearly a hour for our food it was coming up to just gone 9pm and mains still haven’t arrived yet. We asked two members of staff that we haven’t received our mains yet they went to the kitchen and said ‘4 - 6 mins’ okay…. 10 mins went we asked again where’s our mains ‘10 mins’ I laughed…. Mains came…. 2 dishes went back they were COLD been sitting on the side probably We didn’t enjoy our food and left practically all of it. Manager came over and started saying ‘it’s busy’ ‘it’s busy’ then started saying how he’s only just had a break from starting work at 4pm…. It’s your restaurant and your responsibility to run it properly to your paying customers. We requested the service bill off because food, customer service was awful. The girl sorting the bills out ‘turned her nose up’ and I watched her and she looked down after she got embarrassed by me. Manager said he recognises me from the times before we came which was BRILLIANT SERVICE. You just need to sort out how your running your business… won’t be returning again until things change

It was my first time going and the food and service was amazing. The staff were fast and polite and the food came out at a good pace. Definitely will be coming back, 10/10

I've been here about a dozen times since my birthday in December 2022, and all I can say is that the food, drinks, and atmosphere is top notch. The customer service is also very good.

This is my 3rd time coming to the Royal Siam restaurant and once again, the food has been spectacular. I had Butter chicken with the Pilau rice and it was so yummy. The atmosphere is amazing and they have such great customer service (Sadek served us today).

Awesome spicy food! Loved the starters.

Food was utterly sublime, Sam was our waiter was fantastic really friendly and made our experience that much better! Would definitely recommend!

We have just had excellent meal at Siam Radhuny in Dartford. It’s had a re-furb since I last came and is very clean and tidy. We were served by Sam who was very knowledgeable with the menu and recommended some excellent dishes which we wouldn’t have otherwise had. Particularly recommend the lamb dishes as they seem to use much better meat than the other restaurants do.

Great food and service. Sadek our waiter is amazing. Best restaurant in Dartford. Both the Indian and Thai food is very authentic.

Fantastic meal, lovely food, super quick service by the waitress, very polite and helpful. Food arrived quickly, really liked it brought on a trolley, no one balancing dishes. No problem to have a doggie bag. All in all a good restaurant and good food. Will return.

Really friendly place, food was great and will be returning soon Good prices too Sam & staff were great

A lovely evening with my wife, we’re not from nearby but staying in the area for the night. Recommend highly, my wife had a Thai honey duck dish which she said was the best she’d ever had. I had a lovely Panang curry and really really enjoyed it. If you’re ever nearby, you should drop in.

Great service and food served quickly and of excellent quality. Sam showed excellent customer service.

Great food and lovely service - thanks Sadek!

Lovely place, a great and relaxed ambience💜

Very nice restaurant with good food and service. The waiter Sadek did an excelent job today.

Amazing service and fabulous food. Staff are welcoming and a great atmosphere.

The food is amazing. A lovely selection of Thai and Indian cuisine. You are never rushed and the staff are very friendly

Great food friendly staff (Nang and Sadek). Have been several times and never been disappointed.

This is always my go to restaurant for authentic asian cuisine! Sadek has always given us the best experience since we started visiting this restaurant over 2 years ago. Very friendly, accommodating and a brilliant host! The staff are generally very courteous and the food is excellent! I would definitely recommmend. You can't go wrong!

Lovely evening meal at The Royal Saim Thai Restaurant. We have ordered online a few times and have been very impressed with the food. Naturally, your a little hesitant with a duel food Restaurant, but trust me both cuisines are expertly done for very reasonable prices! Our first visit to the Restaurant itself I'd not disappoint! We were greeted by our lovely waiter, Sadek, who made sure we were fully catered to. Extremely polite and offered advice on menu options when required. I personally, ordered the Mixed Grill special - but ordered a sauce on the side as I was worried it may be too dry. To my surprise, the meat from the grill was so flavoursome and succulent I didn't really need any extra sauce. Without any request as I was more than happy with my experience, Sadek removed the sauce from the bill as a goodwill gesture! This was honestly not needed, but speaks volumes to the service and care taken. Highly recommend to those local, or anyone passing through the area!

Absolutely amazing! Brilliant staff and an Excellent meal enjoyed last night by myself and 10 friends.

Loved the food and atmosphere and its especially more calm on weekdays which makes it so much more enjoyable. Had a lovely manager Sadek who served us and will come again soon.

Food superb and service excellent. And aircon on. What not to like on a hot July day. Highly recommended

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. Sadek is a top guy and went above and beyond for us. Would not go anywhere else!

Some of the best food i've had full stop, proper quality food and very premium feel, nice atmosphere, highly recommend.

Thank you Sadek, our food was stunning. This is the best Thai green curry we have ever eaten ♥️ xxx

Sadek was lovely, food was incredible, would absolutely recommend it to anybody who finds themselves in the area. Fantastic

We have been twice to this restaurant of late -one time as a party of 8 and another as a pair. On both occasions we enjoyed delicious meals promptly served. The staff are competent, engaging and thoroughly pleasant, particularly Sadek. Comfortable, clean environment. lovely ambiance. HIGHLY recommended!

Very nice food. Great service. Cheers. LOVED IT

Centrally located in Dartford. The ambience was nice, attentive staff and spacious seating area.

We had a nice experience in this local small restaurant . Nice food with very friendly people. Thanks for the nice evening 😎

Order here this evening 10/10 we had a mixture of Thai & Indian between a few friends and I cannot honestly say all dishes were perfect. Would definitely recommend & will be a repeat customer.

Good food and great customer service

This was my first visit here, the service was first class and the restaurant spacious, clean and tidy. All members of staff were polite and couldn't be more helpful. The food tasted excellent and was good size portions with large and tender chicken pieces. All the flavours cane through really well. I totally enjoyed the visit. Sadek is doing a fantastic job running the establishment, well done, keep up the good work! Both female waitresses were extremely polite and quick providing a first class service. I will definitely visit again when I'm next in the Dartford area. Highly recommend, 10/10.

Visited recently on a Friday evening and opted for the Indian. The food was delicious and the service was just right. Will definitely return.

Enjoyed a green Thai curry here in April 24, and it was perfection. The curry was spiced to my taste (not uncomfortable to eat but had lovely curry flavour). Texture was really creamy and so pleasant! I will go back and can strongly recommend. The menu is extensive; there will be food to suit all tastes.

OK, so we went there on a Saturday night and it was busy BUT they managed to screw the order up.when it arrived, some people's food didn't even make it to the order sent to the kitchen! The food was cold, and only just edable. Needless to say we won't be coming back anytime soon. And just to add insulte to injury they added 12.5% to the bill!!

1st time visit. Will definitely tell friends an family to go and try. Everything was perfect for us.

One of the best Indian meals I have had for ages! The waiter, Sadek was outstanding - I just trusted his recommendations on what to order and everything was amazing. This was a great experience I will definitely be back, thank you.

Fantastic restaurant best by a million miles in dartford and I have lived here for over 15 years and experienced some local rubbish in my time.friendly staff that were genuinely friendly and happy and clearly liked where they worked with great interactions with knowledgeable senior staff members.Me and my wife went for Valentine's Day and loved it the food was amazing the service and servers we're amazing a five out of five experience and other customers said the same well done we will 100% come again.Final word this restaurant reminded me of a top class London restaurant and to all reading this you should book a table and experience the joys I have done u won't regret it.

I am sorry to say but i had high hopes from this restaurant but this is a con … its not a thai restaurant.. its chinese run by chinese who serve thai , Indian and chinese food under different banners .. customer service is non existent … if you question the delay in service you get told off by the staff who tells you they are only staff and they can only do so much.. they are on all three delivery platforms but doesn't use platform drivers , instead they have skeleton delivery staff and they take more orders then they can fulfil… Food is basic chinese food that you can get from a local chinese restaurant… perhaps even better .. But not thai at all …. So if you are hoping for thai food .. please look elsewhere

Nice Thai food, friendly staff, adjoins the Radhunny

First time eating in the restaurant and we were a group of 9. Food was amazing. We had a variety of dishes, rice starters & breads and all were great quality, fresh & generous portions. Everyone was very happy with their meal & were very full. Sadek was our waiter & he was great. Prompt, polite & and e never had to wait for a drink. We had a very enjoyable meal, with great service. It was so good, we’ve agreed to book every month.

Fake Thai, very average. Crispy duck actually flimsy duck.. don't bother.

A lovely restaurant, an excellent range of dishes to select from. You can choose either Thai or Indian. Prices are very reasonable and they are able to accommodate any changes to a dish.

We have given the Radhuny a wide berth since March this year as we were disappointed with the service we received. Nine months on, New Year's Eve, thought we would give it another go to see if things had improved. How disappointed we were! We were sat down right under the air con unit and pointed out it was cold. Nothing they could do about it. Wasn't even asked if we would like to move. We asked for a bottle of wine. It was plonked down on the table. Wasn't asked if we would like to try it. And even better, it was already opened and a glass had been consumed from it! Had to flag over another waiter as the original person had quickly left without saying anything. A full un-opened bottle arrived for us to open. After 10 minutes, a different waiter came over to us to take our order. He didn't make any eye contact with us, just asked us what we wanted. He was more concerned about looking out the front window. Also, we were never asked if we wanted some poppadoms when we first arrived. A first for an Indian! The Prawn puree starter came out cold. Had to ask for it to be warmed up. The main dishes came out, but we had no cutlery to eat them with! Even the couple next to us offered theirs which was nice. Eventually, after waving my arms long enough, managed to flag over another waitress. No apology. Walked off and came back a few minutes later with stainless steel cutlery. If anyone has been to this restaurant will know that all the cutlery is nice gold-looking. No apology when given the replacement cutlery. At the end of the meal, we asked if we could have a glass of wine of the same bottle that we had been drinking and was declined and told we could only have the house wine. We asked if we could have two glasses from the bottle they brought to us that had been opened. We were told that was only for the manager. At this point, we really thought due to the service we had received, they would try and redeem themselves. Firstly, giving us a glass from that bottle which we were happy to pay for. Secondly, even a couple of glasses on the house! There was no apology for the service we had received. And to top it all, they stuck the service charge on, which was swiftly removed. I don't like to write reviews like this and the majority of the time we write very complimentary reviews. However, this left both my partner and I saying at the same time, that this has got to be the worst service we have received. Hopefully, management will see this and make some changes for future guests. Unfortunately, we will not be visiting this place again, which is a shame as the food is great.

very good quality food and at a reasonable price , will be back to try other dishes

Been here 3 times now for a take away staff absolutely friendly food is out of this world tasty 😋 would now come here all the time please try everybody you will not be disappointed cant wait to eat in one day thumbs up

Absolutely delicious. Went to Siam for a work do, never been but it was lovely, the staff lovely and attentive, I chose gyozas for starters and prawn pad Thai for main. They do a curry/thai so plenty of choice. Would definitely recommend.

A wide selection of great tasting food, Thai and Indian cuisines available under the same roof is great

Best Asian restaurant and so far one of the best in Dartford. Never been there but I have been taking away from them for months and everything is excellent from start to finish. Pad Thai and Chow Mein are totally recommended.

Excellent in restaurant and for takeaway. Very impressive, portion size and taste!

Lovely restaurant abd atmosphere, food is good and tasty, staff always helpful. Just a little expensive and portion sizes seem to have reduced.

SadeK is a wonderful attendant and caring. The atmosphere is fantastic!

Fantastic meal with great service. Sadek was amazing and so attentive to our needs. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a curry in Dartford

An amazing evening again, with lovely food and great waiters. Thank you Sadiq, your hospitality was brilliant.

I have been 4 times before but I doubt I will be coming again. Either the management has changed or the chef but I can not believe how sweet the dishes were. I mentioned at the end and ended up in argument about you should of told us when the food came out the only thing would be if you saw the staff again. At the beginning of the meal told them can you please not pick sugar in the food but unfortunately it was added and plenty of it.

Amazing food. Enjoyed with family. Friendly environment. Will definitely recommend to others. Many thanks to Mr Sadiq for his lovely service .

I have been returning to this restaurant for years. Great atmosphere although staff often look harrassed (but polite with it) as can get very busy. The USP of this restaurant is that they serve both Indian and Thai food, both of which are delicious. They offer takeaway and delivery too.

Delicious food in beautiful surroundings. Fantastic choice of dishes, both Indian and Thai. Quiet enough to have a conversation. Helpful and friendly staff.

Lovely food, very friendly staff.

Went for meal with 4 friends. The food was delicious, so tasty, good value for money. Portion size good. Service good and friendly, Sam very attentive to us. Would highly recommend. Thank you. See you again soon!!

Just been to this restaurant for the first time and was super impressed! The food was delicious, the service was 5*. Will absolutely be going here again.

Amazing food with loads to choose from. Reasonable prices

I went here for the first time and it was the best Indian food I've ever had! Great service and reasonable price. I will definitely go back and next time I will try Thai food, which I'm sure it will be delicious too.

Frequent diner's, lovely place, excellent food and staff

Lovely staff and meal great decor

Food was amazing very friendly and attentive waitresses.

Reasonably priced and quite tasty. Service was quite slow and our mains took a long time to arrive but they were lovely. Will return once again soon.

Lovely food delivered. The flavours was lovely. Bit disappointed that £50 of Thai food no longer warrants free Thai crackers as one of my favourite things about the Thai. Will have to ensure I add in future.

Dartford Town not many places to go but this is a wee gem .Hard to find because not on main street . Been a couple off times when visiting never disappointed

Food generally tasty. Hoisin sauce was watered down not good, for the duck pancake starter. No choice of traditional Thai Dessert like Banana fritter and ice-cream on menu. No Indian selection of desserts Kulfi or Indian Sweets like Jilibi. Could improve

A quiet night. The food was good but a little cheeky putting a service charge on a table of two

Food was amazing. Family of 9. Everyone one of us loved the food. Service was very professional. I would prefer traditional Indian background music to add to the atmosphere, but would definitely go here again. Amazing 👏

Lovely meal and great service. Will definitely go again.

Don’t come here on a Saturday night unless you’re booking a large table. We were a table of 3. 2 hours after sitting down, and we had not received our mains. The place was understaffed, so we can’t blame staff. Not sure what management were thinking really. Food was amazing, but it’s not worth waiting 2 hours for… I won’t be coming back during a busy period anymore.

Absolutely lovely. The best restaurant for miles.

Eaten in, very good. Take away ,no,no,no.. Chicken Korma had no taste, the sag paneer was just cream with lumps of, what I assume was supposed to be cheese and the Garlic chicken was far to hot. If I had to eat with my eyes closed I would not have known it was an Indian. Very disappointed.

Lovely place good food, Sadek was our waiter and he was amazing very friendly and professional and helpful with the menu

Really disappointed this time. The ginger chicken was a few bits of chicken and bulked up with vegetables. The weeping tiger had a couple pieces of beef, complete rip off considering cost £19!. Dropped their standards will think twice about ordering here again. Overpriced and tiny portions

Very good food and amazing service from Sadek! Fourth time we have come, have ordered takeaway before, consistently good quality!

Had a lovely meal, food wonderful, service was excellent. Would highly recommend for a lovely meal.

The food was spot on as always. Got served quickly and can’t wait to visit again. Chicken cashew nut is a must to try if it’s your first visit. One of the staff members who served us the food was a bit impolite, abrupt and fell short on courtesy. We were in a hurry so didn’t escalate it, however, definitely one of the things for the management to work on.

Great food, plenty of choice. Friendly atmosphere. Our waiter Sam was very attentive.

Excellent service, very friendly staff from start to finish. Only reason not 5 stars because its not the best food I have had, but still pretty damn good.

First time in Royal Siam .The Food was tasty and in large portion .The ambiance was great .The staff are welcoming and helpful especially staff Sadik .We had a great time .

I had a wonderful experience here. Beautiful food, fresh and all served the same time. My 1 year old enjoyed trying the good which was such a result. Thank you to our waiter Sadek and the rest of the staff for looking after us! Highly recommend

Very Nice evening, good variety on menu. Food very good. Service was excellent by our waiter Sadek.

Great food. We had the royal sharing platter, pad Thai and Penang curry. You can tell all the food is cooked fresh :) Excellent costumer service from Sadek! Thank you and will be visiting again

First visit to the Royal Siam and we was not disappointed. We had a party of 8 so got to choose various dishes from the ample menu. We really couldnt fault any dishes, excellent service and price was very reasonable. Highly recommend as its a hidden gem located in Dartford with beautiful interior decor.

Friendly staff and nicely decorated interior. Food was good quality and lots of variety

Honestly abit disappointed at my self that we lived in the area 4 years , walked passed this restaurant numerous times. What a gem. Food is great if you eat in or take out. Menu very big. Weeping tiger , pad tie and curry dishes are amazing! Can get very busy so book at table if eating in. Service isn't rushed, so you have time to enjoy your food and feel no pressure. Thank you chef's and all staff!

Great Value for money . Great Portion sizes . Very friendly and welcoming staff . From Essex side would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing place. A mix between Thai and Indian. Very hig quality food and excellent service!

We love The Royal Siam. The renovation has brought a breath of fresh air into the restaurant and the food has stayed just as good. The menu now has both Thai and Indian from the two combined restaurants, which leaves you spoilt for choice. The cocktails are delicious, my favourite being Malibu Drive.

Menu had changed and unfortunately the items l loved and wanted had been taken off the menu (The salmon and seabass in banana leaves and the vegetable rice). I ordered other items that tasted nice, but were cold.😒

Very friendly staff. Food tasty😋
