Salathai in Bath and North East Somerset

Waitress was lovely however the food was diabolical probably the worst tire I’ve ever had and bearing in mind I tend to only eat Asian food that’s saying something! The spring rolls were still frozen in the middle which from the health and safety point of view and food standard is a no no. the curry was like water. The Rice and Curry were in a scorching hot bowl that clearly be microwaved. There were big fat flies bias and to be honest the whole experience with dreadful I would never go back and embarrassed that I took my family there..

Serves amazing food. My favourite restaurant in Bath and probably the UK🙂

Thank you for a lovely two course lunch. You were recommended to us by friends and we really enjoyed our meal and can see why they recommended you.

The food itself was very good, especially the soups! However, we didn’t enjoy it as it was difficult to breathe with the whole place being filled with air freshener. I had to go outside between the courses to get some oxygen. It’s a shame they are spoiling the experience with such practice as it would probably be very pleasant place otherwise.

Lovely tasty food, great value, very friendly and efficient service. Price really fair. Will visit again when next in Bath. Could not fault.

The most delicious pad Thai I've ever eaten (I'm vegan). There were great fish and meat options too. Caters for GF too. Friendly service, would highly recommend!

Lovely Thai food. Best pad krapow I’ve had in a long time. My daughter loved the massaman too. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely Place. Delicious food. tom yum soup and pad thai was amazing.

The Pad Thai is possibly the best I've had in England so far, well worth visiting for, the satay chicken is good but needs a spicy sauce imo.

Absolutely amazing. In a busy bustling bath, this offered us a place to relax in a chilled atmosphere with amazing food. They also provided me with a tupperware for leftovers and were super friendly. Fab!!

Very small portion size. !! Service was very bland. Although food tasted good.

Being local but never having tried this we gave it a go. I was really looking forward to the home cooked flavours but sadly we were disappointed. The service was incredible and so friendly and I cannot fault that Unfortunately the food wasn’t the best. We had the set menu. Starters were fine but whilst waiting for main I felt quite unwell. The mains came. Smaller portions which was fine as there was 4 of them in the menu. The beef red curry had the most flavour but the meat was awful and chewy. The pad thai just didn’t taste right and the sweet and sour tasted like it was sat in tomato soup. There was just no flavour to the dishes. I had to stop as I felt sick and had to leave. Husband also felt it was bland. Such a shame as the service was excellent. Sadly we won’t be returning.

Best Thai food I had outside Thailand

Food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Didnt take long to be served after placing order. I ate twice here during my couple days in Bath. Servers were friendly, though EXTREMELY busy!

Super delicious! I was visiting Bath and had an amazing meal here. The food is super good and comes out in good time. It's a relaxing environment, great for nice dinners.

Friendly place. Good prices. Not much chicken in my chicken pad Thai. Very little. Nice flavours.

The food was very good, the service was extremely slow and the portions were laughingly small. I would not come here again.

We ordered tom yum soup which was super salty. I and my family could not really consume it.

Very tasty food and great service, duck pancakes were delicious but the actual duck was a little shy in its appearance. Reasonable prices but a bit stingy on their rice portion size

Bad food. Too much MSG used in my stir fry with bad ingredients and very weird papaya salad that had a teriyaki style sauce. Wouldn't go back.

Fantastic!. Food was awesome. Can highly recommend the crispy spicy crackers.

The best Thai food I ever have tried in England! I am desperate to come back!!!

Staff were really friendly and quick. Food was delicious.

Lovely restaurant, excellent food and service

you know it’s an authentic restaurant the moment you walked in! we ordered the early dinner set at around £17/pax with a starter and a main! all are great but i think there are better options with the a la carte menu so you can try as well! overall great experience with this restaurant, good location!

Lovely food but main course portion size was very small.

Highly recommend this restaurant, very tasty food (the Tom Yum soup and Red Thai curry were delicious!), brilliant service and a nice atmosphere. If you like Thai food and you're visiting Bath, this place is a must!

Uncomplicated, family-run Thai restaurant with good food.

Great food and friendly people for a fair price

The food here was outstanding. Really good value. Would Love to return when in bath

Amazing food and excellent prices, Amazing staff all very friendly, you won’t be disappointed,

Had a lovely meal here on our wedding anniversary. Best Thai meal I've had in years. Went with the set menu 'A' and enjoyed all of it. Service was excellent and prices very reasonable. I've always been a bit indifferent to Pad Thai noodles but my wife and I agreed the ones at the Salathai were amazing. Just wish we still lived close to Bath so we could visit the Salathai regularly.

Enjoyed the dinner. This was my second time in this restaurant. Delicious, good quality meals for good value menu. Friendly staff, nice location and warm environment. Lots of options for vegans/vegetarians/ non-vegan. Recommend for Thai food lovers.

I dine here often and the food is always good, service prompt and friendly. It is wise to book as it is often very busy. Highly recommended.

Food was just good enough to pass. Staff dying to go home sweeping up around the table as you ate. Just a tourist trap no repeat customer so is what it is.

Nice family run Thai place... delicious food and quick service... reasonably priced...must try their pancake for dessert

My favourite Thai restaurant in Bath… have eaten here many times over the years and never been disappointed, lunchtime, evening always quick and pleasant service and very tasty food

The food tasted amazing, well priced and service was great!! I recommend checking this place out

Best Thai food I’ve had in the UK

I have been here a few times now. The service is very good, you don't have to wait too long for the food and it is overall a very pleasant environment.

IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS, the most tasteful delicious Thai food I’ve had in a long time! Amazing service! I also have a severe Gluten allergy and the attention and care that went into ensuring I could eat was brilliant and with so many options to eat! This place is a must on a visit to Bath!

Looking for somewhere to eat out on a Sunday evening, when it seemed quite a few places were closed. We were staying nearby and had passed earlier in the day, and saw they were open 6-9 on a Sunday evening. Oh my goodness what a little gem. We had a set 2 course and we thought it was tremendous value. Spring rolls, chicken satay, pork and cashew nut stir fry, and my husband had the green thai curry. We followed with banana and pineapple fritters and ice cream. Haven’t seen fritters on a desert menu for ever, and were always a favourite. They didn’t disappoint. Yum yum. As I’m writing this, I wish I’d tried the pad Thai too. Ah well always another visit. Good to support a local family concern, rather than a chain. Well done to all concerned . A lovely experience.

The food and the service of this place was great. The staff were nice and we didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive too. Decent prices too.

horrendous! Severs are absolutely unaware of vegetarian options available thus suggesting options that are absolutely not vegetarian which is dangerous and unethical at best. What an absolute disgrace! Would acore zero stars if this was an option as the practice of this 'restaurant' is unsafe, uninformed and ignorant.

Excellent restaurant. Good service, great food. Thoroughly recommend it if you like Thai food. I've enjoyed many Thai meals but this was outstanding.

Great Thai resturant in Bath. Been in Bath many years so that speaks for itself.

Always delicious Always friendly Always wonderful! Great value for money, relaxed atmosphere

Amazing food that had amazing service

We had a sneaky take out from here whilst staying at our hotel in Bath as we couldn’t face eating out again. The food was delicious .

We thought we would give this restaurant a try. When we arrived at 8pm it was virtually empty. It was very cold in there and we kept our coats on. A young man came over to take our order but he was abrupt and glum. The food was okay but the Pinot Grigio was shockingly bad and we left it. I know we should have said something but we bothered by this time. The worst part though was having just had our starters being told that the kitchen would be closing at 8:30pm which made us feel we had to finish quickly and go. Will not be returning!

Good food experience with decent prices and taste.

As the Nepalese restaurant down the road was closed we thought we'd give one of Bath's several Thai restaurants a go. We were not disappointed. The meal for 2 at £28 a head was immense (the green Thai prawn curry and Sweet corn fritters - to my surprise - were stand - outs). Worth ordering the Thai crackers a go too. A big meal though so if you're not big eaters there is enough here for 3. Complimented by the Thai Red wine also. £80 all in is superb value in the current climate. Service was excellent too. Will defo visit again.

Excellent value, authentic food and staff always lovely and friendly. Already been back twice since the first visit a few months ago

Amazing set menu price of £15 per person. Lovely lunch with my daughter. The food was delicious and great service. A bargain! Would definitely return next time we are in Bath.

Been here several times and never had a bad experience. Good food, good staff, good value for money

The food was amazing, portion would be absolutely worth it. I had a great time there. The staff were nice. Everything was calm and relaxed when I had lunch with my friend there. Love it!!!

We had such a lovely meal at this restaurant, we would even say it’s the best Thai we have eaten. Great atmosphere with very friendly staff, we would thoroughly recommend 👍🏻 Yes

Good vegetarian options plus the food was delicious. Highly recommend if looking for some vegetarian Thai food.

Ok if you've never eaten real Thai and like very sweet, unspicy food. I'm sure chef could do better (assuming they're actually Thai)

Our visit was lovely. I have an issue with my mobility and was able to park up my mobility frame up without a problem. The food was beautiful and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We would definitely go again 💜

This is the second time we’ve visited Bath and after a fabulous meal here last time we booked in advance. It was as good as before - food, staff all wonderful.

Enjoyed a lunch here when visting Bath. Great value lunch menu including jasmine tea or coffee. Attentive staff, nice location and good quality food. Sweetcorn fritters as others have commented are very nice. Lots of options for vegans/vegetarians, one of our party had tofu which he said was very good.

If I could give 6 starts I absolutely would! I have been here once before, last year, for a works Christmas dinner and although I couldn't remember the finer details of the night, I remembered that the food was incredible...particularly the Pad Thai. So I spent the whole year raving about it to my girlfriend before we finally picked an occasion to come and give it a go sober. As the day approached, I was nervous that I might have built it up too much, raved too hard about it if you will. This was absolutely not the case. I couldn't have raved hard enough. This in genuinely the best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand. My partner and I shared menu B and every single item on the menu was incredible. The portion sizes looked quite small on first glance but the overall amount of food defeated me (which is no easy feat) 11/10, absolutely recommend. Bring your friends, bring your family (if you like them). Really really very good. Not sure what else to say. An absolute gem! Thanks Salathai!

We ordered the steamed seabass fillet with a side of egg noodles. Plain fish and steamed veggies, along with some iceberg lettuce and shredded carrots, were floating on two fingers of unidentified broth. Pretty tasteless, but not as bad as the side. Literally a bowl of sticky, undressed, unsalted noodles. Unacceptable.

Had lunch here the other day. The interior was a little scruffy, but the staff - who appeared to be Chinese, not Thai, not least given that when a party of Thais entered, the staff could not understand them! The food was perfectly acceptable, albeit that it was "British Thai" - I lived several years in Thailand - and next time I'll ask for a bit more chili. Tap water was provided without asking, there was no pressure to buy drinks, and even the coffee was free. I'd visit again if looking for a quick lunch.

One of the best Thai meals outside of Thailand!!! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough-great food great friendly service and so reasonable for Bath!

Food was amazing! Excellent service by Somsy. Will definitely come back next time we are visiting Bath

Had pad thai for lunch here. The ones I usually had in other authentic Thai restaurants over in Malaysia are drier, their pad thai is a bit more watery. But it still tastes pretty good. Serving time was quick as well. And most importantly they serve good food at a good price.

Authentic Thai cuisine in Bath. Good customer service.

An authentic Thai restaurant. Tasty food at a very reasonable price with friendly staff.

Warm welcome, efficient service and delicious food inside this informal Thai place. Seemed quite popular, we were there early on a Tuesday evening and it filled up steadily.

Best Thai food in Bath. Great value as well. Lovely staff. Traveled to Thailand on many occasions and this is the most authentic you can get in Bath.

Nice meal with good atmosphere, relaxing place to have lunch.

Always great food for a great price. Staff are so kind as well

Best Thai food I have ever had (and I order a lot of thai food!). Ordered the Chicken Satay, Chicken Sesame Toast, and Hot Thai Red Curry. Chicken was succulent! “Early dinner menu” (6pm-7pm) means it’s only £16.95 for rice, main and starter. Highly recommend!

Tasty, authentic Thai food in an intimate setting. Quite basic in terms of decor and could do with a dust/clean in places but overall very good.

We stopped here for lunch because we saw there were a lot of people eating here. Sadly the food did not live up to our expectations. We were married in Thailand and have spent a lot of time traveling in that country. The food here is definitely not representative of Thai food. I ordered the papaya salad. It had a brown sauce on it and the chili tasted like some kind of chili powder you would get from a bag despite the presence of fresh Thai chilis in the dish. There was no dried shrimp and very little peanuts. I didn’t finish it and I would not recommend this dish. My husband had the Panang curry with chicken. There was more chicken fat than actual chicken and lots of dried. Chili flakes, the type you would get in an Italian restaurant to put on your pizza. The curry was more like a gravy and didn’t have the flavor of a panang curry at all. I’m not sure why this restaurant has the higher rating it has (4.8) but if you like Thai food and have eaten Thai food in the past you’d do well to stay away. This will not satisfy you at all. I’m sorry to say this is the worst Thai restaurant I have ever eaten at.

Lovely place! Great food, great service as well.

Thai cuisine in a cozy restaurant removed from the city center, but very accessible. Delicious !

Bland flavour, vegetable mix consisted mostly of onion and chinese cabbage. Very little chicken. Small portion size.

Amazing Thai food at reasonable prices. The hot tea was amazing for a rainy day. Food was very good. I got the Gaeng massaman with chicken and it was very good.

Another super meal - brilliant place for lunch.

Nice food and cozy environment. There’s a nice chubby lady I like about. Reasonable price and fast delivery.

Always get good service and amazing food. Love the flavours. Can be relaxed or celebratory, but delicious. Reasonably priced

Superb family Thai restaurant and take away with friendly staff, delicious food and the mother does the cooking so it is consistent. Very good value for money. Highly recommended.

A bit disappointed in this to be honest based on previous reviews. Menu looked excellent - lots of good choices. Food was fine but not great, quite stodgy and not like Thai food I’ve had elsewhere. There was a hair in my starter. My plate wasn’t clean. We were wrongly charged for a large bottle of water rather than a small one. All in all not a disaster but I wouldn’t recommend

Salathai never disappoints, great food, lovely people, a real favourite in our family.

Very friendly staff, extremely fast service, tasty food, good portion sizes, and a great evening out!

My sister and I had dinner here and it was very good. The food is delicious and the staff is very kind. The service is fast, and we had time to have a relaxing walk after dinner. Also the location is perfect: close to the most important sites of the city. 5 stars!

Waited over an hour and half for food . I’ve been to Thailand many times and eat Thai food regulatory . Food here is aweful, no layers of flavours , half a tonne of chilli poured into the meal by the chef , watery . Small portions on small plates , one of us had 3 prawns and 2 small pieces of squid for a £19 dish ! (Rice was extra cost on top of that ! ) we won’t be back

Not sure where it got its 4.6 Google review but came here on a Friday night and it was dire. Took 1.5.hrs to get mains and restaurant wasnt that busy. Stingy portions vis a vis the £. Not authentic. Sent dishes back. Would say from flavours that it was made with packets sauces. Yuck. I have visited Thailand multiple times, so have a good idea of how things should taste and this was like a cheap chinese takeaway. Go to Jean's Bistro in Bristol instead.

Basil without basil leaves haha. When you can eat, eat a lot and you'll be full. Don't expect the taste.

Food was really nice and the service was exceptional

We had the best Thai experience that we have ever had . The service and food were superb Geoff & Carol .

I read the reports and decided to have lunch here with friends. Positives: - Warm welcome - Good friendly service Disappointments: - Rather dark room in need of renovation - Cutlery stuffed into a box on the table - 1 unisex toilet with old fittings, dirty and definitely in need of renovating - We choose 3 different dishes on the lunch menu. All were small portions and tasteless. Broccoli, carrots and cauliflower are NOT in traditional Thai dishes. Hardly any spices. In some reviews, customers said that they had lived in Thailand and this was genuine Thai food similar to what they would get there. I strongly disagree. Were they friends of the owner writing a 'good' review, I wonder?? If you really know Thai food, don't come here!!!

Service quick and pleasant. Delicious food came out fast. Red curry had so many flavours in it - absolute must.

The food was incredible and such good value for money using the early dinner menu (2 courses for £16.95). The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food came quickly and was piping hot.

Great value on the early evening meal menu. Well portioned and delicious. Ask for it ‘Thai spicy’ and it will deliver 💥 Nice big restaurant family run with good service.

Early dinner menu is great value and well portioned. Satay chicken starter & Thai green curry main was delicious ask for it spicy and it won’t disappoint 💥
