We have visited this restaurant a number of times . You are always welcomed warmly and all the team are so attentive. The decor is lovely and traditional. The food is outstanding and probably one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. If you don't know what to order ask them and they happily suggest. I recommend this jewel in Caterham high st

This was our 1st visit to the restaurant last night and the 1st time my mother had ever tried Thai food. Fantastic service and very helpful explaining the menu to us. The food was so nice and very tasty, portion size was very good too. Would highly recommend this restaurant and we look forward to going there again.

What a lovely past lockdown treat… mixed starters were hot and crispy and delicious… Thai red curry and pad Thai were winners… especially accompanied by some cold Pinot Grigio… pleasant and efficient service… definitely returning soon 👍

Our personal favourite dish is NEUA YANG- The steak is cooked to perfection and the vegetables with it are so tasty! We also love the Massaman curry!!!! The staff are all so friendly and helpful with advice on the dishes and can offer some great recommendations! Thank you for being such a favourite place of ours to be! :)
