Thai Orchid in Exeter

Absolutely lovely food and atmosphere

Been here lots before, though not for a while until tonight. Always been very good, but tonight was superb. The food is incredible, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant has a lovely feeling to it. Thank you to all the team. 😊

This was a good find, service great really friendly staff. Enjoyed the complimentary crackers whilst we chose our dishes. I went for the King Prawn Massaman curry with jasmine rice. What a good choice, the flavours were amazing. Got to be one of the nicest Thai restaurants I've been to, a shame it's a five hour drive away. It's a must if you are visiting the city.

This was the first time I've had Thai food and it was AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

First visit to Thai Orchid and I am blown away, the staff are all so friendly and the food was absolutely outstanding. I left very full but extremely satisfied!

Really nice and authentic food, reasonably priced and service was great too.

beautiful food and friendly service. Reccomend the set menu

fabulous authentic cuisine served immaculately in a lovely atmosphere and surrounding 🙏❤️

Very good, had lots of curry. Please refrain from clearing plates until everyone at the table is finished👍👍. Overall amazing time with family and friends

We visited on a quiet Monday evening and had the set menu 'Bangkok'. The prawn toast was the best I've ever had. The Thai red curry was a particular highlight too. We had a lovely evening, the staff are all very attentive and sweet. Would highly recommend !

Amazing experience!!!! Great experience. Even better service! What a place. Must visit in Exeter.

We had visited Exeter a few times before but never been to this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Certainly a hidden gem. Will definitely visit again.

Amazing food and service. Always a pleasure.

Lived up to a special occasion... Great food, atmosphere and service!

A wonderful little restaurant, tasty food, great service

I just had a wonderful birthday meal at Thai Orchard! It's a really cosy atmosphere and the staff are lovely. Thank you to Mary and all the team - I will definitely come back!

I had a lovely dinner at Thai Orchid, such friendly staff, a nice relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. I had the Pad Thai and it was fab. Highly recommended!

Delicious authentic food, very cosy atmosphere, and very friendly and accommodating staff! Perfect for a meal out with friends

Avoid. Maybe the Christmas Market has caused problems, but the outside of this restaurant has become party central/a public toilet. The unmistakable aromas of weed, spice (not the good type), urine and feces permeate the ground ground floor. Not the restaurants fault you might think, but they can certainly chose how to respond. And their response? You still have to give them money despite not ordering, receiving any food or drinks. They call the police on customers who after walking in decide that perhaps no, they don't want to sit by a window someone is urinating against. I expect the police at any moment.

The C set course was superb , great value for money and very tasty food!

so gorgeous !! Brought my mum and her best friend here and it was a win for everyone! The Thai green curry was fabulous!

We love this restaurant. The atmosphere accompanies the good food. Highly recommended!!

This resteruant is extreamly irresponsible. I worked here for a while and found that the owners often pay the wages late. Until now, I've been out for over three months but they haven’t paid some of my wages to me. I have been asked the owners about this but they didn't have any enthusiasm to pay me, just said that they gonna check. This resteruant might have good test of food or another things else but they are completely exploitative and selfish.

Lovely food. A nice evening out 😊

Have thought of going in this restaurant a few times when I’ve visited Exeter. I took the plunge this week and so glad I did. Wonderful service and very friendly and the food was excellent. Will definitely return when next in Exeter

Amazing food. Return visit after 20 years of living abroad and it’s still as good as I remember when we used to come in back then. Great staff. So friendly. Great chat with the owners. Would highly recommend for a meal out, or a take away.

Food was very well presented and delicious!

Fantastic food and amazing service. An amazing place to eat in Exeter.

Lovely food. Best pad Thai for a long time. Chilled atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Great to support an independent restaurant in Exeter. Excellent tasty food and great service.

Fabulous place. Great food and amazing people.

We had a lovely meal here, the food was beautifully flavoured and was abviously of high quality. One of the better Thai meals we've had. Hope to come again before we leave Exeter.

Lovely food lovely staff, slightly small area to sit if in the window! Great fun though. Will be back!

First time here after reading other reviews and we were not disappointed. Absolutely delicious food amd will definitely be returning 😋

Lovely food in a lovely setting. Great night out

One of the best Thai meals I’ve had in the U.K. Potentially even better than the food in. Thailand.

Place is great and the food is amazing! The staff are so lovely. Highly recommend.

Once again a lovely meal here! We always pop in when in Exeter. The best Thai :)

The food was very nice and the staff were superb. Probably some music in the background would help the atmosphere a little. I would definitely recommend this place and would return if I was in the area again

One of the best restaurants of Exeter, lovely and friendly people, great atmosphere and most important fantastic food!!

Lovely cosy restaurant with good table service (although a few I think were new) food was delicious, could have done with having soft drinks on the drink menu though.

Booked online for a reservation... Checked online with their website all seemed available. Arrived at the booking time and it was closed. Waste of journey and time. Please update your systems if you are closed.

A true authentic Thai restaurant. The best in the city. Brilliant food and outstanding customer service .

Excellent service and great food. Really enjoyable evening.

The nicest Thai food EVER! Great service, thank you.

Food was great although some of the portion sizes were small for the price because it’s not very cheap. Great service and very friendly, would definitely go back.

First time coming here and it was so nice I couldn't fault anything. Food was lovely everything was hot as expected. Flavour was out of this world.

Was a lovely meal for our break away, we had come here a long time ago but just as special.....

Food was absolutely delicious, couldn't fault any of it. Really lovely meal all round.

Beautiful food and incredibly friendly staff!

Incredible authentic food. Staff were very kind and attentive, will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Excellent food, would recommend!

Great food and good service. Thanks very much

My work takes me up and down the country on a weekly basis and so consequently I use a lot of food outlets. The restaurant is very well presented on the outside and lovely and cozy on the inside, and on stepping inside I found the service to be exceptional, the best I’ve experienced anywhere in the country. If only more places in general provided their level of service. I ordered a take away and I’m happy to say that the food backed up everything I experienced and was beautiful, so all in all a very positive experience and I’m definitely going back next time I’m in the area.

Had set meals C and D and food was amazing. Green curry was very very good and staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Would defintaley recommend for any occasion

One of the best Thai green curries I have ever had... Lovely, friendly and attentive service with a nice and cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended

A gem by the cathedral; excellent portion size and amazing service!

We love coming here, food is superb and friendly staff .

Best Thai food in long time! Bon Bon the owner was amazing with our daughter All staff super friendly and polite
