Fantasic Thai food. Everything is made fresh and you can watch and ask questions if you want. You can also buy Asian food ingredients in the shop. If you want actual Thai food, this is the place to go. Lovely staff /owners too.

We got 3 starters and 4 mains to take away. All were really big portions and well worth the 45 min wait and the £70. If you love genuine Thai food (not Chinese chefs making Thai food) then you'll love this place. They also have a little shop within their takeaway too. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. If we're ever in Barnstaple again, we'll definitely come again.

This is a little gem hidden away off the High Street, but well worth hunting for. The food is always excellent, and totally Thai. The supermarket is an Aladdin's cave with ingredients for all types of Asian cooking. Was delighted to find all the familiar brands of fish sauce and oyster sauce, and also Japanese mochi. Fresh ingredients also. Excellent store.

Was in the area for the weekend and needed somewhere for Friday night dinner. My husband and I fancied Thai and the restaurant had good reviews so we gave it a go. Arrived at 7.30pm and were the only ones there, it got busier as the meal progressed. Portions were large, we filled up on the thai crackers and the ducks spring roll which were lovely so we’re pretty full when our mains arrived. I had the panang chicken with coconut rice and my husband has the pad Thai - both were lovely! Service was great throughout. Cost us £45 for two beers each, plus starters and mains so good value. Only issue was the restaurant was feeezing! We had to ask for the heater to be moved to warm us up we were so cold.

Had been looking forward to eating here for some time but greatly disappointed.Appears to be understaffed but food deliveries were going out all the time,while many were waiting to be served at the tables.We ordered the set menu which was a lovely starter,very tasty but after that the soup was bland and the main course inedible.It was over two hours from our arrival before the main course was served.We were warned about our dinner plates being hot but they were stone cold by the time we were served half hour later.The vegetables were hard and the beef was tough,so we hardly touched it.Tried to explain to the woman I assume was the owner,whilst paying,that we couldnt eat the mains as it wasnt to our taste and she thought we meant too hot.She apologised about the long wait but I find it difficult to believe with so many deliveries going out of the door.

Didn't smell that good when I stepped in. The lady was nice but did reach over me to give stuff to the person next to me when she could easily have walked two steps and given it to him with out doing that. She did that a couple of times. I don't think there were any vegetarian or vegan main meals that I could have had. I had to have green Thai curry made with shrimp paste. I asked if I could have it without but was told no. So I had that. It was not delicious. The veg did not seem fresh and had an over cooked feel and no flavour. One or two bits of veg were actually not very nice. Alot of money for a disappointing evening.

We were all delighted with everything, especially after a less than excellent Thai experience in Braunton. Service is not speedy but at least you know that they are cooking your meal for you. And we got to take our really funky Lucky Buddha beer bottles home with us! Totally recommend and wish we had found it earlier in our holiday.

We was not disappointed with the quality and quantity of food. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The menu is extensive offering all of the classic Thai dishes. They highlighted that the currys will often contain shrimp paste so to ask which are suitable for vegetarians. Vegan dishes also offered. They offered chicken and duck substitute as well as the normal tofu and vegetables alongside normal meat dishes. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. The sauces were delicious, our plates were left clean. If we lived locally this would be our new favourite.

Tasty Thai food but the restaurant was very quiet. Ate here on a Tuesday evening and was greeted by a friendly waitress who gave us the menus and took our drinks order. Went for a mix of dishes, Thai red chicken curry, prawn green curry, crispy duck in tamarind sauce, vegetable noodles and coconut rice plus some prawn crackers. All really tasty and just the right amount. Service was good the only disappointment was that we were the only people in the restaurant so it lacked atmosphere, a real shame as it is a lovely restaurant. Will definitely try it again, hopefully on a busier night.

Thai food has many options, coming from the crossroads of SE Aisa, there are options to suit those travelling through. When I visited you could ask for changes to meet your taste, their hottest is VERY spicy, their flavour is very variable and so I learnt to ask for the options. The silver tree does a number of vegetarian options that do not appear on the menu. The level of spice can be adjusted, and be warned they mean hot when they say hot. Using real Thai ingredients makes this restaurant one to revisit.

An evening visit allowed service to be quick and efficient, only a few tables being used. The menu, as a good restaurant should have, listed many dishes and choosing one was difficult. The starters list was pretty good, as well, but as is usual with many restaurants (and especially Thai), a little expensive. i opted for the Dim Sum & main of Rendang Curry which arrived in a bowl half full, accompanied by coconut rice. My initial reaction was that i would have a lot of rice left over. But it was deceiving there was plenty of beef and plenty of a delicious sauce. The coconut rice was relatively mild, i have had it almost straight out the coconut and was far too rich, but this was okay. Beer is a little steep for only a small bottle which ate into the budget meaning no dessert. At about £25 its a good meal.

This is a well located, authentically decorated Thai restaurant in Barnstaple centre. We shared 3 starters & 3 mains and couldn't fault any of it. Thai is my favourite cuisine and this is one of the best I've had - it was incredible quality food. All in all, including 4 drinks, it cost £60, so was good value in my mind (especially as one of the main was steak). It opens for lunch & dinner and has a lunch deal & pre theatre menu from 6-6:30pm. They do rake aways but don't deliver. I've eaten there several times since it opened under different ownership a few years ago and it has been 'up & down' in my opinion. I mention this as I think it reinforces my current high score & maybe explains some of the poorer reviews when it first opened under the new ownership.

This restaurant is so under used, the only reason we can think of is because the building doesn't stand out in the lower half of Boutport Street. Just look and you will find The Silver Tree just down past Joy Street. Clearly the best Thai restaurant out side Thailand. Thank you for making my birthday so prefect.

We decided to come to our favourite Local restaurant for a birthday meal.A warm welcome from the host and attentive service.We started with the mixed Thai starter for two, which has to be the best I have ever experienced in a Thai restaurant, both for presentation and taste. Colourful, hot, fresh and very tasty. (Love the fresh Satay)For my main I experienced the "Goong Pad Ka Prow". Stir Fried Prawns, served with Fresh Chilli, Garlic, French beans and Thai Basil leaves. Again the presentation and visual impact is just stunning, the ingredients so fresh and colourful.A fairly spicy dish, with good heat from the chillis, but balanced perfectly with the basil and garlic and lovely plump juicy prawns.If you like good Thai food, prepared with fresh quality ingredients, you have to give the Silver Tree a visit.

we were here last week and had a very good meal. We had some shrimp crisps to nibble while we were waiting. i had a coconut rice with duck and bamboo shoots, beansprouts and mushrooms. The coconut rice wasn't very coconutty but the duck dish was delicious and very generous.The house wine was good and the staff lovely and friendly.

Formerly the Malee Thai, now under new management since last year: a Thai couple, the husband as head chef while the wife runs front of house. Comparing the menus (both are still online), they appear to have dropped the prices slightly and now offer a variety of very good value 5-course set menus which we ordered for our party of five, along with some dishes from their extensive a la carte menu. This resulted in quite a feast, with lots of tasty authentic flavours from various starters to soups, mains, dessert (ice-creams) and coffee. Service was friendly and attentive, without being overwhelming. We ordered a few bottles of house wine (again a wide choice there): quite drinkable Aussie shiraz and chardonnay. We lucked in, visiting on a quiet Tuesday evening - expect it will be a lot more busy at the weekends.Total about £30 per head for an absolute feast, including wine and before tip. To sum up: good value, excellent Thai food in pleasant, comfortable surroundings.

We were recommended to this authentic Thai Resturant when we stayed at Boreat Manor in Atherington, Devon. The food was most authentic and the service was superb. The cuisine was prepared by genuine Thai chefs which is the only way to eat authentic Thai food. We were amazed by the range of ingredients they use in their food a lot of which we have never heard of before. The whole evening was perfect and Boreat Manor arranged the booking with the resturant for us and also organised a taxi to and from Barnstaple to the Manor so we could all relax and enjoy a drink or two. This is a must for all Thai fans.

we have visited this restaurant a few times and enjoyed the food and the owners friendly attitude. We spent 4 years living in Thailand as a family and felt the food served at Silver tree was very good.

Usual fare for me. Satay skewers,red curry and sticky rice. I'm afraid because of my sensitivity to wheat I am a bit afraid of trying new things and this fare works for me. Also I am good with green curry and jasmine rice. Anyway, to cut a long story short I had my usual meal and enjoyed it very much without gut trouble. It is like my local Thai which is good. I have never had an outstanding Thai meal worthy of world class accolades so nothing else to compare it to I am afraid.

We used to go to the Mali Thai and were surprised that it had changed hands. Lunchtime today we ordered two traditional dishes with rice, but the chef advised the waitress that rice was not available! We re-ordered stir fry noodle dishes which were excellent, but like another couple (who walked out without ordering) we had looked forward to traditional Thai curry with rice! We won't risk a lunchtime visit again.

We loved our visit to the Silver Tree and will definitely go again. The flavours are simply divine. I had squid, my partner had steak and our daughter had duck. Just superb, we can't fault it and would highly recommend it.

Started off our meal with a shared Mixed starter. presentation is nothing short of stunning and it tasted divine.Followed this with Duck in Chilli and Thai basil with a portion of Coconut rice. Arrived steaming hot and again presentation was excellent. Coconut rice was perfectly cooked. My duck was prepared with obviously fresh ingredients, was full of flavour and spices.This restaurant deserves to do well, when they serve food to this standard. Will be back again
