Sunitra's Thai Restaurant in Richmondshire

Best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand it was fantastic. The TomYum soup was so nice ! We also had starters of the fish cakes and satay chicken both cooked lovely and we had a bowl of TomYum soup each some with this, for mains I went for the jungle curry and my partner had Panang curry with shared a rice and some chips! We were completely stuffed and so looking forward to coming again! Service was fab too!

Fantastic authentic Thai , in lovely surroundings. The food was beautiful , the restaurant is cosy and relaxed and our waitress was superb

We had friends visiting, and decided to try our first ever takeaway from Sunitra's last night. It was easily the tastiest Thai meal I've had. The food was delicious, authentic Thai food, very nicely cooked, with excellent flavours. We all enjoyed it very much, and will certainly return.

Had Sunitras recommended when we stayed in Richmond while walking the Coast 2 Coast. Our first visit while on the walk was terrific, the setting, service and food excellent. The menu may not be as extensive as other mainstream restaurants but the menu selection is great. Back in Richmond for a family get together so rude not to try Sunitras again, and once again it was perfect. Thanks Dave for managing to fit us in on the Friday evening. We will be back…….

Food is freshly prepared and cooked. Nicely presented. Plentiful portions. Friendly staff. Worth visiting. Recommend booking 👌

Really lovely small family Thai restaurant Great service came for my birthday with a group of 7 and food came out at the same time Lovely authentic food no complaints

Had takeaway from here while visiting friends who are regulars. Food was ready at the agreed time and service was friendly. We had a Pad Thai, a stir fry, and a Penang Curry. It was the best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand.

Lovely restaurant that is family owned and run. The Thai cook does an amazing job of bringing the authentic tastes of Thailand to Richmond. I will definitely be back. Be sure to text for a reservation.

Delicious food and friendly service.

The food here is amazing—authentic and of fantastic quality. This lovely family-run business genuinely strives to provide a fantastic experience. I've been coming here for years, and it’s always consistently great.

I ordered the chicken satays to start with the chicken pad prik and sticky rice for mains. It was the tastiest takeaway I’ve had in years. Everything was made fresh and came out presented well and with some lovely sauces and chilli on the side! Will definitely be returning!

Good food and decent portion sizes. There is a massive selection of dishes and they're bound to be something for everyone. The food tasted fantastic with an amazing blend of flavors.

I had the chicken massaman, and i’m an extremely fussy eater, I don’t like spices or anything spicy, but I can honestly say that it was one of the nicest dishes i’ve ever had. Not spicy, very mild and everything was cooked to absolute perfection! Definitely recommend the restaurant as the staff are so lovely and then to top it all off the dishes are absolutely beautiful!

Well, I am going to go out on a limb here and say this was the best Thai food I have ever had in this country. I am not an aficionado, but have had plenty of Thai meals. This was excellent. We were the first in the restaurant on a cold and windy Thursday evening, but the food was super fresh and piping hot as it had just been cooked. Starters good, but my main course of chicken and prawn pad Thai was excellent, as was the chicken penang. The main man was charming and chatted to us about Richmond and in particular the beautiful building we were in after I had expressed an interest in the architecture ( such beautiful windows) , the rest of the service was good, lovely young waitress. Restaurant became pretty full as the evening went on, which was nice and a little surprising given it was a cold, windy and potentially wet night. I would certainly return and would be more than happy if the restaurant was near where I live.

Wow fabulous food definitely recommend to everyone. Staff great customer service. Will definitely be back. Love the food

Great food and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Very accommodating on a quiet evening stayed open for our party of 4. Well worth a visit in Richmond .

Amazing meal . Fresh produce . Lovely atmosphere. Staff friendly . Would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant.

Lovely find ! Food was absolutely delicious - small friendly vibe.

What a lovely little find, we found ourselves looking for dinner on an overnight stop on route to Scotland, a quick Google search and we found Sunitras, the restaurant was small, but the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, almost like dining in a friend's lounge, the staff were fantastic and very attentive, then we got to the food, the menu is small, but certainly not lacking in options, between the 4 of us we had 3 different starters and 4 different mains, all were packed full of flavour and tasted amazing, if it wasn't for the 4 hour drive, we would certainly become regular customers, although we do intend to be back some day.

Absolutely Amazing! Food made fresh, nicest meal I’ve ever been for! Took my boyfriend for date night and it was amazing, definitely coming back again! Thai food like never before, for me anyway!

We have eaten in and ordered take away from Sunitra's. The food is really tasty and always great service. The takeaway was packed up nicely so it was hot and fresh when we got it home. The chicken panang is my favourite, nice amount of spice. The rice is also perfect. We love it. Great treat. Xx

A group of us came to this restaurant. We all ordered different meals from the menu, and everyone commented on how excellent the food was. Everything was nicely presented, the meals were delicious and cost including drinks was very reasonable making for an affordable meal out. It is a small restaurant but service was excellent and the staff were friendly, helpful and very welcoming, and regularly came back to the table to enquire if we wanted more drinks and to ensure we were enjoying our meal. Richmond has some very nice restaurants and this could well be one of the best. Certainly it is somewhere we all intend to revisit whether as a group or individually. I would definitely recommend pre booking a table as there is only limited seating. Thank you Sunitras for providing us with a really enjoyable and delicious meal in a very friendly and welcoming environment.

Team J invited Team K out for supper choosing Thai food for this month’s supper I have to say what a fabulous choice. By a country mile the best Thai food I ve ever tasted, the combination of spices and herbs are perfectly blended and presented, this is years of mums teaching daughters the art of Thai cuisine and amen to that. Richmond is blessed to have such a fab little Thai restaurant thank you 🙏 x

Friendly greeting, attentive waitressing(without being overwhelming) swift service for starters, just the right gap in between courses, and super tasty food at reasonable prices. What more is there to say. Bordering on perfection.

Went on Saturday 30 December, party if 4. Last minute booking. Excellent food. Good choice of food. Prices were good, not expensive The restaurant is small so pre booking advisable.

Second visit this year and another fab meal. Texted to book a table which worked fine. Food fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.

While the ambiance of this establishment may evoke a cozy home kitchen atmosphere, the operational aspects leave much to be desired. Regrettably, their takeaway service is quite limited, with an exceedingly narrow window of just thirty minutes for ordering. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to encounter situations where they have run out of food entirely, and attempts to place an order might go unanswered or result in being informed that takeaways are currently unavailable. It appears there might be room for improvement in aligning their operations with the expectations of a typical restaurant experience, where accessibility and a seamless ordering process are key components of customer satisfaction.

Number 38 is good it’s on the menu twice😉 The restaurant's commitment to authenticity extends to its decor, creating an atmosphere that transports diners to the heart of Thailand. The attention to detail in both the cuisine and ambiance contributes to the establishment's charm. While the menu caters to a variety of preferences, including vegetarian and vegan options, it maintains a commitment to traditional Thai flavors. Sunitra's strikes a wonderful balance between staying true to its roots and adapting to the diverse tastes of its patrons. In conclusion, Sunitra's Thai Restaurant is a culinary gem that successfully captures the essence of Thai cuisine. With its inviting ambiance, attentive service, and a menu that tantalizes taste buds, it stands out as a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and delightful Thai dining experience in Richmond North Yorkshire. We will back again soon Nige and Jess

I attempted to order a takeaway, I was abruptly put “on hold” sat and listened to a conversation with a customer for 5 minutes, then got hung up on! I called back and asked if I could order for collection, I was (abruptly) told they had “sold out”…at 5:50pm on a Saturday night…?! I think some phone manners are needed and perhaps better stock reserves!

Lovely fresh authentic Thai meal, with attentive friendly staff. Nicely redecorated in this historic building. Reasonable prices.

Really lovely food and brilliant hosting. Enjoyed the visit to this restaurant

We were lucky to be slipped in at short notice having not been under the new ownership. Very happy we could be accommodated as the food was exceptional. Service was very attentive and the whole experience spot on. The decor has been upgraded and now provides a modern relaxed atmosphere. The bill was very reasonable for the delicious food we had. I would recommend booking as the place was full by the time we left.

Great little Thai restaurant. Owner Dave is great and the chef, his lovely wife Sunitra, makes amazing Thai food. Although menu states no gluten free options, when we asked Dave he came up with loads of gluten dairy free options for me. Food was delicious, well presented and appeared quickly. I had Tom Yum Kung Soup (hot & spicy king prawns) followed by Kaeng Ka Ree Kai (yellow Thai curry) OH had Poh Pia Tod (Thai spring rolls) followed by Chicken Nammahhoi. Well worth a visit when in Richmond. Probably best to book to guarantee a table.

Just enjoyed a fantastic Thai meal at this restaurant. Forgot your Thai for the masses (giggling squid etc) try a taste of authentic Thai food reasonably priced..

We have visited our local Thai now on several occasions with friends and just us as a couple and each time the food has been amazing , we love it here and can't wait for our next visit . Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service. We love this place, it's always our first choice in Richmond. Lovely welcome, food hot and served beautifully.

Everything about Sunitra's was fantastic. The food was delicious, attractively presented, very fresh and plentiful. My friend chose a vegetarian and spicy dish and I chose a mild dish and we were both well catered for. The service was excellent, friendly and unobtrusive in a very relaxed atmosphere. We never felt rushed in any way. We would definitelty recommend Sunitra's and look forward to a return visit. Thank you all for a lovely evening.

Wonderful Thai meal - in fact, the best beef massaman curry we've ever eaten. Staff & Chef were friendly & professional. A real gem of a find whilst holidaying in Richmond, Yorkshire.

Really enjoyed. Nice meal certainly recommend Would advise trying to book as was busy when we went on a Thursday night but they did manage to fit us in.

Wonderful warm welcome and stunning tasting meals. Excellent balance of spices, great advice given on level of heat. All meats were succulent, vegetables fresh and tender, both cooked to perfection.

My wife and myself have just started our evening by ordering and thoroughly enjoying the hand made chilled Chicken Salad Spring Rolls with sweet soy dipping sauce. Delicious..

After having had Sunitra's recommended by a work colleague, we turned up unannounced as the owner unlocked the door, we were welcomed in and offered a table in the window. Perfect. The service was brilliant, the food, all home made, was wonderful, hot, fresh and tasty. Not overpriced either we didn't think, altho nothing is cheap these days! We will be back!!!

Lovely Thai food. It tastes authentic and great value. Service is lovely. Very happy with our meals

Fantastic choice and great tasting food served with a smile in quaint, quintessential building. Between us we had; fish cakes, chicken satay, spicy papaya salad, followed by chicken & cashews, phad prik, jungle curry & phad thai, washed down with the house sauv blanc & thai beers. Service, food, ambience was spot on! A great place for a celebration meal or a quick bite of loveliness to eat. We all LOVED it and will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our food here and the team were very warm and welcoming. Pad Thai was very good and very enjoyable. Lots of choice on the menu and the food was elegantly served. A fun a friendly place to go for Thai.

The best Thai food. Accommodated a late booking thank you.

Biannual visit to Richmond, third visit to Sunitras. Did not disappoint, excellent food ,good service and friendly hosts. Highly recommend !!

Fantastic restaurant. Quality food. Loved it

Fantastic meal, fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. The owners were very welcoming, service was friendly and efficient. I’d say it was the best Thai food I’ve eaten.

We loved our meal here. I had the red curry, my son had green curry and my wife had prawn noodles. When I first saw the curries my heart sank a little because they looked slightly watery but I needn't have worried - they both tasted sensational. Both the meat and the veg in the curry were deliciously succulent. The quality and taste were superb. My wife loved hers too. Nice ambience. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful restaurant, with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The food presentation was excellent, and it tasted delicious. Excellent service from the staff and the owner came over to see how we were doing. Some of his spices are imported from his father in laws farm in Thailand, and everything is made fresh. The prices are very reasonable and I’ll definitely be visiting again soon. 😋.

Wow! What an amazing little restaurant Sunitra's is. From the minute you walk in, the cosy atmosphere and welcoming vibe is very inviting and you immediately feel relaxed. The service and attention to detail was spot on. Then there's the food, again Wow! It was absolutely incredible! Extremely tasty, well presented and cooked to perfection. I could not recommend this restaurant highly enough and cannot wait to return, which will be very soon.

Amazing Thai food .This is the best Thai food restaurant around. Sunitra’s food and presentation is exceptional.I love the service. Always very friendly with the guests, offering the best quality food. I highly recommend this restaurant. Val Clement

Had a takeaway from here last night. First one I had since changing hands and I wasn’t disappointed. Food was fresh, flavoursome and delicious. Will be returning for a sit down meal very soon.

Had a meal in the restaurant last night with my family and it was beautiful. Lovely fresh food and excellent service. Will be back.

The food was amazing, great staff very welcoming. Lovely atmosphere was fab and we will definitely be going back again soon.

Called in a few times with my daughter and the food is always fantastic. The service is good and very welcoming. It’s a hidden little gem in Richmond and I am looking forward to returning.

Great food great atmosphere..Richmond lad.. remember this as grey friars cafe..owned by my best mates parent..now run by David..great host..but now owned by my old school as parents moved on to Cafe heaven

Lovely Place! Beautiful building! Food is Proper Thai. And the service is very friendly. Good value!

Very tasty! This is a good, local Thai restaurant. The food tasted very fresh and well-cooked. Portion sizes were Perfect and everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend a takeaway. The restaurant looked very pretty.

Please be aware when reading reviews for Sunitras - they have been open just under a year. The previous restaurant using the same premises was called Taste of Thailand. Some reviews relate to the previous restaurant ( check the dates) and they retired last year. The restaurant has been very tastefully updated & is very clean and fresh - all new furniture. The food is fantastic, authentic Thai food cooked by Sunitra - and waitresses are lovely and very attentive. Give it a try - you won’t be disappointed.

Great food, really friendly staff who were incredibly accommodating, and the prices were really reasonable for the quality and serving sizes.

Me and a group of 21 friends and family celebrated my 30th birthday in Richmond. I came across Sunitra’s and from the get go, Dave was incredibly communicative, professional and helpful also taking time to help familiarise me with the local area. The menu is...

Just off the market square in Richmond. Great decor, clean restaurant, friendly and efficient staff, small menu but good tasty and freshly made food. Highly recommended.

Sunitras is the place to eat in Richmond. Eaten here on several occasions. Always delicious food and presentation . Brilliant atmosphere. Service is always excellent and friendly. Would highly recommend.

We had a really excellent meal of mixed starters and mains. The food was great and the service friendly and attentive despite a big party being in the restaurant at the same time.

It was my wife's birthday and 18 of us went too the restaurant which we have been before ,the staff we amazing and the good was loved by everyone ❤️ gorgeous gem in Richmond North Yorkshire its a must

Best Thai food and customer service/ambience ever. A definite must on your dining experience in Richmond.

We had an excellent meal. Service was efficient and well timed. Pleasant staff. Food delicious and portions good.

They only do takeaways until 6:30 apparently…turned my order down at 6:15.. such a shame but they’re obviously busy enough with dine-ins and don’t need our business…

Wonderful freshly prepared food, and very accommodating of the needs of our elderly parents. Owner was very knowledgable about the area and keen to share his appreciation of Richmond. Really appreciated the fact they had noticed one of us (my father, following a stroke) was...

Delicious Thai food with generous portion size. Good service and lovely atmosphere.

Delicious food, great service, perfect location! Had the fish cakes and papaya salad (got some free prawn crackers too) was super well presented, tasty, great spicing, and reasonably priced would highly recommend!! I was on my own and they were super attentive :)

Lovely experience great food and excellent service. Very tasty and a great environment to eat in. Could make life a bit easier with booking though can only book via text.

Fantastic as always. Really fresh authentic Thai food.

First visit, and will certainly return the flavours are amazing, gorgeous food, and very helpful staff, a must if your in the area

Never have we ever .. felt so intimidated and pressured making a restaurant booking ! From the moment of hearing on the answering machine NOT to leave a message to the several missed calls half an hour before our booking .. assuming to make sure...

Really great food. You need to book. Small restaurant - very pleasant space.

Delicious food and a really nice ambiance to the place

Recommended by ourB&B hosts, it was a very good choice. Very welcoming hosts, the menu was varied and good. All 8 of us enjoyed our choices. Finished off with an unexpected digestif

First thing to note is, that this restaurant used to be called Taste of Thailand under different ownership. The new owners have had it since Jan 2022, so only reviews since then will be relevant. I stayed in Richmond for one night and was looking...

Tried this restaurant while visiting Richmond. Superb Thai food. Genuinely good. Reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Amazing food, nice and relaxed atmosphere, not rushed at all. Felt very welcomed, will definitely go again - thank you 😊

Looks like this place is under new management from last time we visited and since then, portions are small and prices are higher - too high for me. One other point - we were greeted by a gentleman who I can only assume was the...

Liked the decor here - fresh and modern and in a lovely building and the food was very good, really enjoyed our dinner.

We eat here regularly and the food is always amazing. We’ve tried most things on the menu and each one has been delicious. Restaurant is squeaky clean and staff super friendly Highly recommended

Squeezed us in last minute. Friendly staff. Lovely food.

Service and food were both exceptional and the owner took great care and pride to make sure we were well looked after and even provided a complimentary drink after our meal

Have eaten here a few times since it opened and ordered takeaways from the mobile van before that. Last night it was as good as ever - Sunitra's food is freshly cooked and beautifully flavoured and spiced - the soup and chicken penang and stir...

We came for long weekend from the Isle of Wight to see friends. Staff very helpful and attentive. The food was excellent, good size portions and very tasty. The best thai food outside of Thailand.. Highly recommend this restaurant... Definitely return next time we are in Richmond..

The food at Sunitras is brilliant, very fresh and incredibly tasty. The staff are very warm and welcoming. Sunitra herself is so lovely and you can tell she is passionate about her food and the restaurant! We have tried the king prawns and Tom yum soup - both so good we’ve had them twice! For mains we have tried the jungle curry and the pad Thai which were both delicious. We also tried the lamb shank in a massaman sauce which was so rich in flavour, I cannot stop thinking about it! I cannot wait for our next visit ☺️

A lovely experience from start to finish. Friendly and efficient service and the food was excellent. We took our own wine but I think they will soon be fully licenced. Certainly be back.

A lovely meal in relaxing surroundings with great service with delicious authentic Thai food.

Tha tastiest food i have ever eaten in a restaurant. Delicious

Really enjoyed my meal at this lovely restaurant. Dishy were freshly prepared with an element of spice. Will be coming again

Take away only at the moment, but amazing food. Very busy, be prepared to wait for bigger orders.

Stayed in Richmond 2 nights and ate here twice. Great food and friendly service. A good option for vegan food.

Fantastic food, very reasonably priced

Food was amazing and staff where friendly and welcoming. Brilliant value for money aswell
