Royal Thai Restaurant in Northampton

Lovely food, good service always feels so welcome there.

Always a treat ordering great food from Royal Thai restaurant.

Rice was inedible and the beef curry was extremely tough. Was not impressed at all. Delivery was on time though.

The dim sum were very nice!The Pad Thai sauce was horrible it tasted nothing like it should it had a burnt taste. I will not be ordering again

Really nice food and service very good! Though very quiet inside on a Friday evening

Food was as usual delicious and delivered early. However the massaman curry didn’t contain any potato. I’m sure this was a simple oversight and will definitely order again.

Absolutely shocking! Food used to be so nice but it was very tasteless, slimy and all in all horrendous! It was not nice at all it had to go in the bin! £70 wasted! Very disappointed I do not recommend

The food Used to be good... The basic Pad Thai we had last night was tasteless and not fresh at all - no lime in sight either! The fishcakes were fat and felt uncooked/plasticky/powdery. Must find a more authentic Thai restaurant with more authentic tasty food... Let us know when you change the cook and maybe we will return...

Food was to bland, papaya + seafood salad though was 10/10

Really delicious and fast delivery

Your delivery man DELIVERED TO MY NEIGHBOUR. My neighbour then have to pass to me. HOW TERRIBLE SERVICE

Excellent food , good vegetarian choices , nice atmosphere, worth visiting

One of the best thai restaurants ive ever eaten in...Shreya was really help with my dietary requirements and made feel confident in trying there menu. I will be back. Many thanks

I have eaten Thai food all over the world including Thailand and I have to say that the order I received was no more a Thai than? Bland, abysmal.

Sadly this place seems to be going downhill rapidly. Had a great takeaway a few weeks ago but the one tonight was terrible! Virtually 2 or 3 pieces of beef in a massaman with raw potatoes as well! Such a shame as we won't be heading back any time soon I'm afraid.

My duck didn’t even taste like duck Sticky rice tasted like microwave rice My Ben and jerrys Icecream was dated 11/23 so was out of date which is seriously dangerous with being a dairy product so was not happy rang them up and disnt seem bothered 😕

My Thai wife enjoyed her meal, though I do think her cooking is better.

I’ll start with the good …The food tasted nice . That’s it !!! Now if the bad …It’s so so small for the price you pay …. Very very upsetting …. Very small take away containers .. & the rice is so expensive Five pound for fried rice i will not return I believe you would have to search long and hard to find take away containers this small

Very nice Thai food as always, had the green chicken curry.

The portion sizes are not worth the money, which is quite expensive anyway and therefore expected a high quality too. The food arrived within 30 minutes however it was cold. I hope that in the future positive changes can be made since Thai food is usually fantastic.

I just received 4 spring rolls instead 6 as advertised from Royal Thai and they have taken the full payment of £8.45. how is that fare?

Curry was watery and not spicy at all. Chicken was dry, like it was prepped separately ahead of time and thrown in when packing the order. Pretty disappointing. Especially for the price.

The beef in the curry was very tough and portion size smaller than normal tonight, little disappointed but still ok but expensive. The quality is generally much better however so don’t be put off giving it a try.

Not really worth it. The amount paid vs the food we get. Mainly portion of the food. Tom yam soup has very small portions for 12£. Taste is just normal. To add I am an Asian person may be that why my satisfaction is very low to be fair.

I do not often write reviews as it is difficult to sound constructive especially when you do not have a lot of nice things to say however here goes nothing. The service was great the food on the other hand was probably some of the worst food I've had in several years. We recieved our food incredibly quickly which begged the question to whether it was fresh. After tasting the food it was evident that perhaps it may not have been. Out of the 5 items we ordered not one of them was hot, all luke warm at best. The pork ribs were warm and tasted old, dim sum over 8 pounds for what you recieved is questionable and that is being polite. All the food tasted like it is kept in a hot hold of some sort, the best part of the meal was the lettuce and carrot garnish on two of the plates as it was the only thing that tasted fresh. Is summary, the food was probably the worst I've eaten in several years, we will certainly not be back. I realise the above may be difficult to take however it is feedback from two disappointed guests. Regards

The quality was extremely poor and it was really poor value for money!

Service was great. Food mediocre at best. Milk for the coffee was off and curdled but that was rectified. Some of the food was cold. The aromatic crispy duck wasn't. The volcano chicken was tough and chewy,tasted and looked like processed meat. Despite the menu saying the chef would be happy to cook anything, they couldn't accommodate allergies. Rice is made in advance and sits there so onion allergy couldn't be accommodated. Asked for hot and sour chicken, couldn't make it but said they could put more chilli in sweet and sout. Asked for diet coke, got full fat. Not helpful for a diabetic and no warning given. This restaurant was amazing when we used to come here pre covid.sadly it isn't anymore. We won't be returning and don't recommend.

The chicken was extremely chewy and the portion size was small.

For £75 you’d get a lot more from other takeaway, very small starter portions, 5 miniature dim sum £8.45, ribs smallest I’ve ever seen must have been 1 rib chopped in 6 small pieces £9.45 and 6 prawns tempura but came breaded????? £10.45 save your money go else where…. Massaman curry potatoes tasted and looked like tinned….. had much better Thai food in other places.

The egg fried rice was missed for delivery

Appreciate busy day so take the delay on the chin.

The restaurants we tried to eat were all full or booked, at about 7 in the evening. But the Royal Thai was not. I could see only two or three tables being used, which was discouraging. The staff were very attentive, perhaps because the restaurant was quiet and the food was excellent.

Food is only okay, just too expensive for the portion sizes now they have increased their prices so much.

Fantastic as always, thank you very much

Tasty but portion sizes were small. The driver didn’t read the instructions. Ending up we had to hunt for him because he went to the other end of the street.

Freaking awesome! I had an incredible experience at Royal Thai in Northampton! The spicy papaya salad was a flavor explosion - the perfect blend of sweetness and heat. Some like it hot and this place happily obliged. The Tom Yum noodle soup was equally impressive, with a rich broth that left me craving more. The attentive service and inviting atmosphere made it a memorable dining experience. Great poppers Ngoc Thai pop music too. Highly recommend!

Food is very nice, but it tastes more like Chinese then Thai.

Unfortunately after I ate my food I went to the toilet and as I came out the cubicle I was washing my hands and one of the chefs came out the toilet next to me walked out and didn’t wash her hands which is disgusting. Food wasn’t great meat tasted gone off, disappointing

One of the best Thai restaurants in the UK

Volcano chicken wasn't spicy in the least. Portion sizes were really small, the food came halfway up the container and paying £10 for 5 small prawns, couldn't call them king prawns, was cheeky. In summary, a lot of money for not a lot of food.

Last night will be the last time I use this place, I've given them enough chances. Dry chicken in green curry plus £ for sticky rice that is a solid block of rice pudding!! Sort the pricing a quality out in your take away food.

Be wary if you are a non meat eater. I'm a strict vegetarian, and I've ordered twice from this restaurant - the first time I found a chunk of meat when I chose the tofu option, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and ordered a different dish a couple months later, once again choosing tofu, and was given chicken. Will not be ordering from here again.

I specifically asked for no eggs and yet they put eggs in one of the dishes. I called them and they told me to reorder through just eat which I wasn’t sure how to do without paying for a new dish. Shocking customer service

I think they have given up trying to please clients and reverting to just ripping them off by over charging. We used to come here a lot before lock down and always lovely food and service. Went recently and instead of the free prawn crackers we were charge £5.45 !!!! for a small basket. At the time we didn’t check the bill but on getting home and checking their website found we were overcharged on 50% of the bill - buyer beware !!!!

Tutor is having an actual family emergency that meant that person was too inebriated to answer the phone. We didn’t manage to get the call, but for some reason the inept driver didn’t press the doorbell for 26 minutes.

We have ordered from Royal Thai on Uber Eats many times (and it's always delicious) but today was our first time dining in and it was so wonderful. The staff were lovely and the food was exceptional (and beautiful!) The Massaman curry with lamb is a definite favourite! We feel so lucky to have such great Thai food in Northampton ❤️

Food is excellent, tastes delicious. We absolutely loved the Paneang and the crispy duck. Delivery on time and everything was still warm. Super recommended.

Beautiful food...enjoyed by all

Not as authentic as I expected. The Thai Green curry was very watery and felt like vegetables came from a can. The portion sizes were too small for the price. The ambience and drinks were decent.

Lovely food as always ! Thanks 😊

We ordered a takeaway from here which has always been great, but the portion size and quality and drastically reduced where the prices have gone through the roof. 5 tiny dim sum balls for £9, absolutely ridiculous! Rice £6.50, only received half a tub about 50p worth of rice! If the quality matched the price I wouldn't have had an issue, but it is very far from that.

We ordered dim sum for £9 and we received 5 tiny balls, the size of a penny, no way there are worth £1.80 a piece it would have been a stretch at £1, and also some rice that was only half filled the container easily only 50p worth of rice and they charged £6.50. The food is mediocre and very over priced! We use to like this restaurant but it has gone downhill.

Thai curry was nice but a shame half of it spilt on delivery

Very quiet when we visited on a Tuesday evening, the food was tasty but not very large portions for the price. May go back again.

Portion size it very small for the price

Great food, good value, will come again

45 minutes after ordering the meals no driver had been assigned by Just Eat, so I had to drive to the restaurant and collected the food myself. The Royal Thai is great. Just Eat is rubbish. How about refunding the delivery charge Just Eat?

Food was amazing well priced and great service recommended!

We live in Kent but every time we come to Northampton we have to visit The Royal Thai. Amazing food and the staff are wonderful and attentive. I would highly recommend 😊

My experiences at the Royal Thai restaurant are always perfect! Mena and Jay are a delight - they are super friendly and attentive, and are always a pleasure to talk to. The food was magnificent, everything from the green curry and rice, to the papaya salad, and the pad Thai - I thoroughly enjoyed all of it! I will definitely recommend this restaurant to more of my friends and family, and I look forward to returning again soon.

excellent food and very nice service:) also recommend take away :)

Probably one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in the UK. Magnificent staff, especially Mena and Jay. They are so lovely to talk to. The food is just so perfect! It was so mouth watering from the food presentation to the taste. You’ll definitely taste the authentic thai food. Will surely comeback and bring more friends with me.

Very few noodles with the orange duck and not crispy at all, prices have increased and quality and portion sizes have reduced

Lovely food and good service at

Food was awful, watery mess of a curry, the prawns were so badly overcooked you could barely bite into them, pad Thai was like a sticky block of very very soggy noodles, so disappointing, ended up in the bin

Expensive and food is decidedly second rate.

A bit disappointing. The sauce of my seafood hor mok had curdled. Big chunks of calamari that should have been cut finer.

Great food and delivered on time. The only disappointment was the sticky rice… £3.95 for a lump of inedible mush! However, it won’t put me off ordering again. Please focus on the rice!

Very good food and decor, the portions were big, free wifi and thai music aired by Beach Radio.

Food was not as nice this time. Bit dry

food was late but still warm enough to eat and tasty as always :)

Amazing food as always but only received 1 rice when 2 were ordered. Too much hassle to call for refund.

Really bad first experience. Chips uncooked and a tiny child portion in a plastic container making them steam and soggy. Sticky Thia rice was in a plastic bag looks like its been in the microwave it was rock solid in a hard square shape, well! Over cooked . The noodles tasted of oil no taste at all other than that. Poor red curry from a powder mix by the taste of it. The dishes were 9.95 each and it came to 30.00 I assumed it would be authentic I was not expecting it to be reheated processed food. Unfortunately a hideous meal.

These guys deliver in every way Every time. What a treat to have such epic food available to order

Absolutely sensational This is one of the best options in Northampton So good Can’t fault them ever

Food nice but very very spicy!

WOW! Only ordered a mixed starter platter. Took an hour to come and was burnt and ice cold. This is consistent. DEFINITELY WOULDN’T RECOMMEND!!

Was good but not amazing as it usually is The orange duck was just duck unflavoured this time

Food was good, but unfortunately the service was the worst that my partner and I had ever experienced Drink orders did not arrive and they had to be reminded, when they turned up they weren’t what we had ordered. We weren’t offered a dessert menu or any hot drinks after our meal. When we asked they said that we’re closing and threw the bill at us, we paid with cash and didn’t even offer us our change, they just arrogantly assumed that they were entitled to a tip for there below par service.

Found on deliveroo, very happy we orderd. All I have to say is, if it's this good being delivered I can't imagine how good it is to sit in. Very tasty and fresh ingredients. Will definitely pay a visit in person soon.

Thank you for making our son's 30th birthday so very special. It was a night he'll not forget. Many thanks for being attentive and providing excellent service and food.

Really delicious, thoroughly enjoyed both curries. I wish the panang sauce was thicker, but it was still tasty. Really nice pad Thai too.

Lovely tasting food. But portions - starters in particular - have got very small, and not worth the price (I assume this is cost of living related)

I have been a loyal customer for years and have always enjoyed the food, however a recent takeaway was terrible quality. Rice and noodles soggy and overcooked, tasteless green curry, very very poor quality overall. Very disappointing

No satay sauce delivered with the chicken satay so just received plan chicken skewers

Delivery not arrived yet and we want to cancel as too late for the family that have been waiting!! But can’t seem to cancel and get refund easily!! Really disappointed and want a full refund

I often eat here as the food is fantastic. I brought my little boy for the first time today and the waiter spent time talking to him, suggesting food on the menu and teaching him a little Thai. He loved the food too and was thrilled at the kind and patient attention from staff. I have consistently good quality food here and will continue to be a regular customer.

Good but sauces are watered down, Shame! Cooked well decent ingredients just lacking richness

Was really looking forward to trying a new restaurant, ordered at 18:55, delivery is now 40 minutes later than latest estimation and it still hasn’t arrived at 20:50. Rang the restaurant and was told they would be here within 10 minutes as the driver had set off 5 minutes prior… 20 minutes after that phone call we rang back and was told the driver was still on his way and would be 5 minutes! Food arrived 10 minutes after this and we were told by the driver that he had only set off 10 minutes ago and it was late because the kitchen was busy. Feel a bit annoyed at the fact we were lied to and have waited 2 hours for food.

Will definitely use again. The food was delicious

Wow!! Love this place ❤ tasty very nice food love the Papaya salad my favourite I ordered an extra form dinner tomorrow 😋 thanks again another amazing takeaway wished uou delivered to my area.. Bugbrooke

Ordered a takeaway, and this was very bland and the quality just didnt seem to be there any more Spring rolls chewy, curry was very basic, and this restaurant has seemingly gone downhill So, I will vote with my feet & never use them again

Wow.. very tasty food 😋 definitely be ordering again

We loved their food. The service was outstanding. Will recommend for Thai food lovers..!

After reading reviews I feel we must have visited on their worst off day. Service was poor when food was delivered we were still waiting for drinks! When drinks arrived the pineapple did not taste or look good, A replacement was brought which tasted slightly better but within a few minutes it separated to a light top and murky bottom! We then asked for a glass of water which took a further request to arrive . Main course arrived mine was good but my wife’s was not as expected (a sizzling plater) it was not not sizzling plate but served in foil put on a plate which was not sizzling, the taste just was not there. The furnishings were a bit tired and a flat screen to made it look like a takeaway with tables. To sum up my food was good but everything else was disappointing especially the service.

We have ordered from the Royal Thai many times and feel the food is just not quite as good as it used to be. It’s not the cheapest take out, but that was ok when the food was amazing. Our dishes tonight had minimal chicken or prawns. The prawns were sparse, shrivelled up and over cooked. Even the complimentary bag of prawn crackers has been stopped 😞

Food was really good just disappointed with the satay skewers as the chicken was rubbery.

excellent quality, well presented and delicious food

Perfect - tasty hot and fair value. Thanks
