Tana Thai in Bedford

Amazing meal, once again. Tana Thai has fast become our family favourite for its superb freshness, wonderful presentation, and distinctive flavours. The service is excellent, and the options plentiful. Thank you again, Tana Thai! 10/10 once again.

A very nice traditional Thai restaurant. As it is small I recommend booking but you can get takeaway as well. 6 of us, good price very tasty. Will be going back

We visited for my dad’s birthday, the restaurant is small but the noise didn’t carry. The food was delicious, best Thai food I have had in a long time. We had starter main and dessert all very nice. The staff were all very friendly. Would recommend this restaurant.

Traditional Thai restaurant, curries with coconut milk. All the food was fresh and very tasty. The restaurant is small in size, booking recommended but they also do takeaway. Lots of vegetarian options

Fantastic food, fantastic service. Booked a table for Valentines Day at short notice, and the team couldn't have been more helpful after the website crashed, and I called to confirm my booking. We had difficulty finding a space, and they quickly provided a solution to get our night off to a great start. Starter's arrived in good time followed by the main course and both were piping hot. For my first Thai experience, it couldn't have been much better. We will be back 😀👍🏿

I have lived in Bedford for many years but have never ventured into this restaurant. Well what a shame as i didnt realise what ive been missing all these years. What absolutely lovely food it was and great service. I shall definitely be returning here as both my wife and i were very impressed. Highly recommend

Lovely thai food, great atmoshpere, friendly staff. Big portions though so be prepared for a feast (and to take some home with you for tomorrow!)

Visited for the first time today. Outstanding food and amazing service. We ordered the set menu for two and it was good value for money. To top it all off the atmosphere is lovely and a wonderful evening out. Can't wait to return!

Once again Tana Thai pulled out all the stops. I hadn't dined at Tana for a few months, however eating there on Friday made me realise what I had missed. This is truly the best Thai restaurant in Bedford and possibly in my opinion Bedfordshire. Excellent service great flavoursome authentic Thai cuisine, at a reasonable price, what more could you ask for. I love this place, as do those people I have recommended Tana Thai to. If you love Thai food and you've never been, I strongly recommend that you do!!!!

Was pleasantly surprised by Tana Thai. I was expecting the same run of the mill establishment as others with mediocre food, but I was wrong. Firstly was warmly welcomed by the staff when we arrived and they sat us down taking our drinks order. I would firstly recommend that you book in advance as it's not the biggest venue but seems to be popular and lots of people are coming in on the off chance but not being successful with getting a table. The menu is just right with everything you expect, but on this occasion, we went for the set menu that had a bit of everything, and we ended up ordering some extra bits on the side. We were given complementary prawn crackers with some sauces, which I thought was a nice touch and very moreish. Service was spot on, and the food was not disappointing. Presented nicely, looked and tasted fresh, and portions were the right size, too. Waitresses were friendly and helpful, making sure everything was OK and making sure that we were OK for food and drink. I can't fault Tana Thai, my experience here was good and I would recommend anyone to try it if you haven't already. It's a nice little venue for a nice meal out and maybe a small group of friends. Definitely pre book your table, and honestly, enjoy your experience there as I did.

🇹🇭🙏Tana thai is the best Authentic thai food ever so tasty and delicious definitely recommend thank you so much will come back again !!

Excellent menu and brilliant gluten free selection. Ideal for vegetarians too. The food was extremely tasty and when they give it 3 chillis for spice - assume it's going to be very hot. Jasmine tea was an excellent accompaniment and the sticky toffee pudding was lovely and gluten free. Parking across the road in College car park. Free for blue badge holders. Staff helpful and friendly. Toilets clean and modern. If you're in a wheelchair then the toilets would be too narrow to transfer and there are 2 large steps to reach them. Would definitely eat here again.

All was excellent! A bit of a wait between courses, but so worth it! My favourite was the King prawn Pat Thai.

Lovely friendly service but unfortunately, I'm sorry, but the food was very bland and not very hot. Had the set menu for two people which was great but more expensive with less courses then previously had.

Delicious authentic food, good service and reasonably priced!

Small well furnished restaurant on edge of town. Super service and food was excellent. Fully recommend.

Absolutely brilliant Thai restaurant, great food and service.

Booked a table last minute on a Friday. Lovely little restaurant with friendly staff and an excellent meal. I had the crispy sea bass which was just incredible. My lovely lady had the beef Pad Grapao which is on the menu as very spicy (this is accurate 🥵) Fully recommend, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed

Wasn't really for us, the tables are so close together it was like you were sitting with the people next to you. The food didn't have a much flavour as other restaurants we've tried in the past. It does get busy in there so lots of people enjoy it, it just wasn't for us on that night.

This lovely little restaurant provides a warm welcome and excellent food at reasonable prices. Thank you for a super evening - and for sorting out a taxi to get us back!

Excellent service in a relaxed atmosphere. Our food was delicious, in line with all of our previous visits. One of the best around

Great food, nice clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Plenty of vegan options but you do have to ask for them.

Simply wonderful - the food was delicious, possibly the nicest Thai food I’ve had outside of Asia and the portion sizes were big!

It was a busy bank holiday Saturday and we booked a week in advance and were asked to provide our menu choices the night before, owing to being such a large party. The welcome was warm, the drinks, including cocktails, were well made and beautifully presented and the food was immaculately served to all of us on time. The service couldn't have been bettered. We will be back.

Excellent meal. Very good service. Reasonable price. I couldn’t ask for more. Great to meet the chef owner Tanya’s well. As a vegetarian, I found the quality and variety of veg used in my meal and the perfect standard of cooking fantastic. The Tom Yum soup was at the ideal level of spiciness and just sharp enough for my taste. The veg Pad Thai was a perfect follow on main course. I would recommend this for a quality mean at a reasonable price.

Excellent food, great quality and excellent service, cannot fault a thing. Highly recommended for a romantic meal out, nice booths and tables well spaced out.

Good place to share and enjoy Thai food, good service and very good attention, highly recommended.

My husband and I visited this place a few days ago and I must say, this is one of the best thai places that we’ve ever been to. We didn’t have any booking as it wasn’t planned; Also it was quite late at night already....

1st time visiting so opted for the Thai experience menu which gave us a good selection to try. Lovely range of starters which came out after enjoying a nice bowl of Thai crackers and sweet chilli dip. Main courses were delicious and hot and the...

Incredible food whenever we go. Staff always very friendly and helpful

Excellent food freshly cooked. Very attentive service. Lovely surroundings. Pretty dishes with carved vegetables to decorate. A lot of effort goes into the guest feeling well fed and cared for. Reasonably priced for the quality of service received. It was very busy when we went....

Wow what a brilliant Thai meal. The staff were really knowledgeable and happy to adapt meals to suit dietary requirements. The food was incredibly fresh, served piping hot and within good time. The best vegetable spring rolls and curries we’ve had in years! We would...

My husband and I enjoyed a meal at this restaurant recently and it truly lived up to not only the reviews but our expectations. The food was delicious, with large portions and plenty of options on the menu. The service was also superb. We would...

Our first visit to Tana Thai was excellent. The food and service were both outstanding. (Cautionary note: when a dish is described as 'very hot' it really is. I love hot and spicy food, but this was towards the upper limit of my tolerance). Our food was served quickly by a very friendly, constantly smiling, young lady. The presentation was stunning, as were the flavour combinations. My wife's Massaman curry was tweaked to add a bit extra spice - delicious! Good value, a really tasty meal and great service will definitely tempt us to return.

My partner and I aim to do a date night once a month at a non chain restaurant and keep it a surprise from the other. This was my choice and to be truly honest, this place was absolutely amazing! Really friendly staff, stunning interior and the food was just amazing!

We ordered a takeaway- didn't dine in. What a huge disappointment- I was really looking forward to this based on reviews but definitely not authentic Thai. I swear the fishcakes didn't even contain fish! They were flat chewy pancakes that tasted like massively overcooked omelette...

Never disspointed..same fresh food with authentic Thai flavours .

Food, very tasty, very authentic thai great customer service recommend loved it❤️❤️❤️❤️

Small bit perfectly formed with incredible tasting food. A winner every time (been many!)

Excellent authentic Thai food. Freshly prepared, well cooked meals with delicious flavours reminds you of being in Thailand.

Rice portions are far too small compared to the main dish. The quality of the food however is very high. They got our order incorrect twice 😔

Our friends took us to Tana last night for our first time ...we have had take aways but never eaten in . What an expierience beautiful clean restaurant, food was so fresh well presented and delicious , service and staff were excellent even though was so busy . So friendly met the chef and her husband as my friends know them ...lovely people and to top it allhad a complimentary lemoncello shot at the end ! Highly recommend we will be going back..Thank you Tana Tai

Excellent food, excellent service and an excellent night all round! I would highly recommend the massaman lamb shank. Thank you all for a lovely evening.

I had takeaways, so I got to taste the mouth-watering meal when I got home 🏡. Everything was delicious 😋

Eaten all over Asia and right across the UK. Read the rave reviews, totally puzzled. Food really lacked authenticity. Mixed starter tasted pre-cooked out of a packet and heated up. Main courses, sauce probably out of a bottle just didn't taste of any Thai dish...

Great food and excellent, friendly service

Love this place, the food is amazing.

Absolutely delicious food served by very caring staff.Thank you.

What can I say about Tana Thai that I haven't already said before many times over. My wifes first vist here too for her birthday, which she really enjoyed. Food and service superb atmosphere and ambiance excellent. Value for money most certainly!! The waitresses work...

Food was very nice very quick aswell

This was a very beautiful place and I loved the Thai green curry.My daughter enjoyed the food and so did my mother.I recommend this to anyone who’s seeing this!

Sorry to say but expensive and I have had better

I have always maintained we were lucky in Bedford to have three outstanding Thai restaurants. I always thought there really wasn’t much to choose between them but after last nights excellent meal at Tana Thai I have changed my mind . The meal I had...

Wow OMG!! What can I say about the food service and overall ambiance at Tana Thai. I've probably just had the best Thai meal I've ever had. On a scale of 1 to 10 I think I would have to give Tana Thai an 11....

I had some friends visit from London and we all decided to go to Tana Thai having seen the positive reviews. The restaurant is cozy and very well decorated. The staff were very friendly and offered advise on what to order. The food was absolutely...

We went to Tana Thai tonight because we're staying in a hotel for work and wanted a change. The food and service were incredible. Would definitely recommend. Especially the penang.

The food is incredible, the staff are lovely. Every time I go it reminds me of being in Thailand. Lots of gluten free options and the staff are very knowledgable when it comes to food allergies / cross contamination. Thank you!

Very tasty ...will be definitely using this place again. Strongly recommend 👌

Ordered Pad Thai, Green Curry, Tempura Prawns and other delicious dishes and it was super tasty!

The staff were lovely and the food was amazing.

Excellent service and great tasting Thai Food. Will be coming back for more.

Had a lovely meal with the wifey. Would go again in the future. Service was really good. We originally ordered some noodles but it was a bit too spicy but they were happy to remake it to be more mild. Food tasted fantastic.

Visited for the first time with a friend after she recommended. Wow, what a lovely restaurant! The food and service was great, will definitely be returning!

We had the Thai Taster and it was absolutely delicious, could not fault a single dish from Starters to Main, will definitely come back next time we visit Bedford.

We went to Tana Thai for our anniversary. Wife had spring rolls for starters, which was essentially pastry with very little filling. For some reason I was a bit disappointed with the meal and also with the limited menu. We have had lot better meals previously at Tana Thai.

This is my favourite Thai restaurant in the whole of Bedford as well as London to be fair, and I have tried a few. The dishes here have a lot of flavour and the ingredients are quality and fresh. My favourite thing here is the Yum Woon Sen but not every one may order it due to the smell of the fish sauce or the dried prawns but absolutely delicious. Shame they do not have parking anymore but there is access to the paid car park in Bedford College which is opposite to them.

I don't normally write bad reviews but our experience here was not great. It was my birthday so we came here as it was suggested on the buyagift website. We had a dining experience bought for us as a gift before covid and we decided to use it there. Which was obviously not welcome because the older woman who dealt with us was really abrasive and rude the entire time. She didn't give us a chance to read the menu to see what was included she just shouted at us "buyagift is this one" and snatched the menus back. So we had no idea what we were about to eat. The younger waitress was so nice, but the older waitress only seemed to be nice to the other (only 2) guests. When we were finished we were waiting for the bill but she also said "why are you still here, what are you waiting for?", we did buy another drink that was over the allowance of the experience and so she slapped £6.45 gratuity on top of that drink, which resulted in 1 drink costing £9.99. ironically we had more cash than 6 quid to give as a tip but seeming as we were forced to pay gratuity for rude service we kept it. Despite this horrible experience on my birthday the food was good, couldn't tell you what we had because we didn't have a chance to read it. I have lived in Thailand and I was really hoping this would become somewhere I can continue to visit, because good Thai food is hard to find in the UK. But I wouldn't pay to be treated like that again. I will also make sure this experience is spoken about on all of my social media.

This is an outstanding restaurant. I arrived late, near closing time, and was warmly welcomed and shown to a comfortable seat. Sipping my Singha, I looked through the compact but well put-together menu. I chose the chicken satay and steamed sea bass. Both were excellent. The satay was beautifully presented with four large pieces of expertly-cooked chicken in a light, flavourful sauce and a crunchy salad on the side. My main course - the sea bass - was a masterpiece. Steamed to perfection and expertly filleted, it came in a simple, light, and deliciously spicy sauce, with perfectly cooked jasmine rice. The entire experience was a rare pleasure and the bill very reasonable. I will return and I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Bedford.

Had the chicken satay to start then the chicken gaeng massaman 2 chillies in strength and jasmine rice,been here about 6months ago still as good as ever

Great food from Tana Thai. Caring customer service! I ordered sea bass from the restaurant and it was absolutely phenomenal.

Food was great loads of flavour 😋

Busy little Thai restaurant with excellent food, great service and reasonable. Will definitely go again.

Lovely little place. Very friendly staff and excellent service. We had the Thai experience for 2 which was £27 per person and is ideal if you want to try out different dishes.

Wow. Their special duck dish was so delicious. The chicken satay was stunning. Very much recommend

My expectations about this restaurant were high, and fortunately I have not been disappointed. The food is really delectable and the portions are big, I was pleasantly sated. Besides, the staff is very friendly and efficient, always asking if everything was to our liking. 100%...

Delicious meal and catered well for allergy - thank you 😊

Great service and delicious food...

We booked for 16 family members for boxing day ..we prebooked our menu and offered the back room.when arrived they were so accommodating allowing us to sit in square so we were able to enjoy each others company. The drinks and food were given promtly with no problem at all. Everyone couldnt speak high enough of the quality of food. They supplied us with karaoke machine which was such good fun thankyou for lovely night.

I ate here with my 2 daughters in Christmas eve. The food was absolutely wonderful. We so enjoyed the evening. The waiter was lovely. Cannot fault anything.

Nice Thai, Was a very nice meal but could improve if the staff offered well informed recommendations

food was amazing! authentic, delicious, however, we were seated near the door so hat the Saturday night takeaway queue standing right next to us watching us eat, so lost a star for that

Delicious. Flavorful and nicely balanced with a medium amount of heat (I didn't ask for mild, hot, just wanted to try it 'how it came'). Not the cheapest out there, but was in no way disappointed.

Excellent service, great food. Left Happy and full.

Nice Thai restaurant. Good menu selection. I had Chicken Pad Kee Mao which was spicy and great for my palette, my daughter had Chicken Gaeng Massaman Curry which was delicious. Lots of Chicken which was very tender. They do lots of takeaway which was slowing service for those dining in it seemed.

My daughter and I love Thai food and so we went for a Saturday night dinner to 'Tana Thai' in Bedford. The restaurant is not big, (it can seat about 30 people), but it has a nice ambiance. The menus were the placemats and there...

Dined here recently with my wife and the food again was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. I have now dined here about 4 times and have nothing but praise for this restaurant. I had pork ribs and the pad Thai as...

What a find !!! (And thanks Tripadvisor !!!) Last minute decision to enjoy a kid free trip to the cinema meant we needed somewhere to eat first… table booked in less time that it took to decide what film we were seeing. Everything about Tana...

My previous experience dining at Tana Thai was nothing short of faultless and second to none in both service and the quality of authentic Thai food served. So I had high expectations for my second visit and was not left disappointed. We ordered the Thai experience for 2 for £27, which in my opinion was excellent value for money. The staff once again were welcoming and accomodating ensuring we had an enjoyable and pleasant dining experience. Tana Thai manages to deliver a varied menu with generous portion sizes. If your looking for authentic Thai flavours with subtle flavour combinations of hot, spicy, sweet, and sour then Thana Thai gets a A+ from me every time. We will definitely back in the future. My friend and I dined at Tana Thai for the first time tonight, we were not disappointed. We have dined at other Thai restaurants in Bedford and would certainly place Tana Thai along side the best of them for flavour and authenticity. The service from the staff was both friendly and prompt. The mixed starter for two was filling and tasty, with the Thai spring rolls certainly being the star of the show. We ordered beef in black bean sauce with egg fried rice and a mixed seafood pad thai. The beef was succulent and tender and the seafood was cooked perfectly with a mixture of crushed nuts on the side for texture. An excellent meal and excellent service, thank you.

Attentive and friendly staff serving delicious fresh and authentic Thai food. Great meal and shall return when we visit the area again. Thankyou

First time at Tana Thai and will be back. Lovely, flavoursome food, in a relaxed atmosphere, definitely worth a visit

Lovely food , great staff , nice compact restaurant .. will definitely be going again .

Ordered a takeaway , prompt service and pleasant waiting staff Wasn’t overly impressed with the take out - curry’s both tasteless and bulked up with many vegetables, both curry lacked flavour Starter was poor quality and disappointing Very expensive for what was received (2 curries...

Honestly the best Thai food I have had since actually being in Thailand! Sooo delicious and lots of flavours. Friendly staff and chefs and the inside of restaurant is nice. Thank you to all!

Great place, the best tasting massaman curry we have had in the UK. So clean and fresh, very friendly staff a great place. Our goto for Thai food.

Really excellent food - both in terms of portion and taste. We split the steamed sea bass and mixed starters
