Thai Tunnel in Charnwood

First class service from such a welcoming Chinese lady. Thank you. We all enjoyed the food thoroughly. The ambience is excellent with a lot of comfort and interesting Thai decor. On entry to the restaurant, or when visiting the little room, means passing by the strange poorly decorated "take away" waffle bar at the far end of the room; it's on the same floor and it detracts from the total experience, but once seated that is soon forgotten. Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

absolutely fabulous, food was amazing, and the staff could not do anymore. Jasmine our hostess was over and above all

Wow what a gem! I went in late on my own whilst working away and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent, decent portions, incredibly tasty and very well presented.

Visited here numerous times. Friendly staff, great service and the food is very authentic. Best in the area. Would recommend.

Bought chicken paeng curry … paid £14.90!!! Half a plate of white rice with egg and half a chicken breast…with watery curry sauce … and a thin slice of carrot Menu says £10..95 but be careful … rice is 3.95 !! Curry tasted average ! Too late /far to return food but very average ! What a rip off …

Can not fault the food or service and they even modified the dish to my liking (adding a fried egg, a traditional touch). The spice level was not as high as I'd normally have, but thats understandable as you can add more chilli, but can't take it out. I will definitely be back. Why not 5* .... simply because it was very quiet when we went and it lacked a bit of atmosphere .... But, the food was first class.

Wonderful food and friendly staff would definitely recommend.

Amazing Food all fresh I’ll 100% be ordering from here again… YUMMY

Faultless. A wonderful evening in lovely restaurant, food and service exceptional. Will certainly return. Thank you.

Absolutely delicious food! We had delivery last night, tempura vegetables, gyozo, coconut rice and chicken massaman curry (chefs normal spice). Oh the curry was just DEVINE! Love that you can pick the spice level of the currys. Delivery was on time. Would really recommend. My only niggle is that they only accept cash. Would be great if they’d accept card payments and save us a trip to the cash machine :) we would order more often if they did

Excellent food, highly recommend

Very tasty food with generous portions. Lots of vegan options available.

Excellent food,. I rival service and not bad prices

Always enjoy a Thai meal and this one was no exception. Very generous portions, we had the shared platter starter which was almost a meal in itself. Couldn’t finish the tasty phad Thai mains. Nice Singh a beer to accompany. Efficient, friendly service.

Unbelievably over priced for what it was. The food was tasteless and dry, never knew a Thai meal could be so bad. We spent a lot of money on a celebratory birthday meal (a take away) and were left so disappointed. If you are a fan of Thai food do not eat here. No other option than to pay cash either. We will not be returning and would definitely not recommend. Sadly may have put our kids off Thai food for a while.

First time customers and the staff were friendly, the food delicious, and the menu choices excellent. The quality was first rate and the fare authentic.

Went for a birthday dinner and was really disappointed! Ordered som tam papaya salad which was from the fridge and not freshly prepared!!? It’s one of my favourite s and I was at £11:00 expecting it to be freshly prepared!! Then came the green curry which had hardly cooked vegetables in it and not much flavour let’s say I have tried better Thai green curry !!! The stir fried I ordered was also the same and it’s really a shame that I went to this restaurant as per reviews? Shan’t be going there again or would not recommend it to anyone absolutely appalling service only one young lady running the show! Waste of money and time Very disappointing

Food was good however quite expensive for the service. I walked in to order and was told call them to order? So I did and when I got the food they'd given me two massaman curries instead of a pad Thai and massaman curry.. (because people just order 2 of the same curry) rice was £3 for a small plate which was quite surprising also. The food we did get was really good, however really disappointed they messed our order up because we live far away. So that night curry with curry and expensive boiled rice.. Will probably skip next time because £48 for three dishes with rice is too expensive for a take out experience

The woman that runs the restaurant is the reason this place is so good. I hope she continues. Happy, polite and makes sure everyone gets good service. The food was absolutely brilliant! The only downside was the restaurant itself. Looks a bit drab and for some reason half the room is now taken up by some Dessert bar which looks like McDonald’s

I like this place. Have eaten in on many occasions but in the current circumstances I have been getting takeaways and although good they are crazy expensive for a takeaway. Couple of starts, mains and rice and you are looking at £50. Same amount of food from a local curry house or Chinese you are looking at £25ish. Discount for takeaway would be great. But don't get me wrong food is good and staff friendly

The food was so tasty and fresh. Nice atmosphere and the staff as always in Thai restaurants where immaculate and tentative. Highly recommended.

An amazing meal. Thai green and red curries were creamy with a fantastic flavour. Chicken massaman and coconut curries also a hit. Swrvice was prompt and food still very hot when it arrived. Would recommend but they do prefer cash x

We have used the Thai Tunnel a few times during lockdown and the take away is every bit as good as the food when you eat in. The food has always been ready on time and covid safety observed. We can highly recommend the mixed starters and any of the curries.

13 Feb 21. Ordered meal at 1730h for delivery at 1930h. Received email confirmation from Thai Tunnel (TT). Order was not received by 2045h so I tried to phone TT only to hear recorded message that they were not taking phone orders but to use web site for ordering. I cancelled order by email. TT had my phone number but they did not phone at any time. Not the way to run a take-away. Very bad service. I will not use them again. Zero star rating.

We've eaten here a few times, both dining in and takeaway/delivery. However the last two times we've received really bad service. The time before last they only gave us 1 rice even though we ordered 2. We only found out when we got home so had to cook our own whilst the order got cold. The last time, we ordered online and got the email confirmation with a 1h15 wait for the food which we didn't necessarily mind. But when it was 15 minutes late we called them. They'd missed our order somehow and gave an excuse about 'the machine'. No discount or compensation was offered as an apology. It then took an extra half an hour to be cooked and delivered. So 2 hour wait in total. The delivery driver said it was because they were very busy. So 2 conflicting excuses. We have a 1 year old who was very hungry and grizzly by the time our driver actually came. Giving 3 stars as the food is always really nice and in generous portions.

We want to support local businesses during the current CV19 situation, however we're still not keen on dining inside. We have previously enjoyed meals at the Thai Tunnel, and decided to support the restaurant by ordering a take way. Everything was overcooked and dry, and a word of warning the discount only applies on email orders! We paid the same price (£77.00 for 4 meals) as though we had dined in? I complained and was offered a discount on our next order, sadly we won't be in any hurry to return.

The only reason I’ve given a rating of three is because when the food did eventually come out it was really nice. But getting to the point of enjoying a meal was a one and half hour wait filled with basic error. These include: No Drinks or food menu on the table A waiter who really no doubt was a last minute step No alcohol free beer available Being Served warm Coka Cola. Served the wrong started, one plate to share amongst three with enough on the plate to fill a cat. Waiting one and a half hours for the main course to arrive And the finally a vegetarian main course that contained a price of chicken. The other mains were just fine and tasted really nice. Will go back to this, absolutely not. If you can’t get the basics right the. What else are you short cutting on.

Just ordered a massaman from here and I felt I had to review it as it tasted delightful. The best one I have had by far! We will be back for sure and Sooner rather than later! Thank you

Great food very authentic. Had a delivery during lockdown. Good online order system and PayPal payment made it easy. Thank you.

Through a tunnel and then upstairs then a nice greeting from two Thai ladies A table for 8 in a secluded corner,a wide variety to chose fro all of us enjoyed our meals. It was not busy but a friendly atmosphere ,we liked the place Brian

Had take out from here recently and it was pretty good, be warned that the menu prices on the website are wrong so I had a bit of a shock when I collected and paid!

Friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended!

We were looking forward to another visit, this time on a Saturday night with the family. What a disappointment, we had the same friendly welcome from the staff, drinks came quickly but then the wait came, we arrived at 19:30 and our food arrived at 21:30! The problem was they were full, they have three people serving but only one person taking orders, I don't know how many working in the kitchen, but clearly not enough. It did not help they were doing take aways as well! They really do need to get their act together. We noticed one couple asked for their bill three times and in the end they got up and walked out! Thats how bad it was. No amount of apologies and drinks on the house made up for the poor service. The food was good when it arrived. Moral of the story, don't go on Saturday night!!! Will we go again, yes, but not on a weekend!

Excellent Thai food and great choice on the menu. A very cosy place to eat with very friendly staff. We have been going here for 5 years and the quality is always excellent.

We went with relatives for dinner at that awkward time between Christmas and New Year when not many people go out, however, there were only a couple of tables with dinners, the food was absolutely delicious, but I am afraid the service once we had finished eating was lacking, I think the staff were having a major conversation as we could hear them but not see them, in fact when it came to the time we wanted to leave we had to go and find them! We will go back when it's busier.

This is that rare beast: home cooked Thai. Crisp veg and sauces that didn't come out of a jar. Especially love the yellow curry (pictured). Also the service is personable and friendly.

Ordered takeaway for a family with kids. Starters were nice and tasty. We had a chicken main and rice was extra, plus another chicken main. Overall food was flavoursome, if a little greasy. Wonder if the chef could have used less oil for a nicer after taste. Main was perfectly spiced. Overall for just short of £30 it was over priced, which might be the Quorn factor.

Good quality Thai food that stands up well against other local Thai restaurants. Unfortunate that the lovely front of house was on her own and a little rushed. The slow initial service was the only minor downside.

Lovely food, never had a bad meal here

Ate here for the first time recently for a family celebration. The food was authentic, delicious and from a very varied menu. Between us we found absolutely nothing that detracted from our delightful evening and we will be returning as soon as possible.

It was my first time at the restaurant and I cannot fault the place! highly recommended the food was fantastic. The waitress Apple was so lovely and helpful, she made us extremely welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. She was helpful with food choices as well. I had seafood which was fresh and delicious! Our group will be visiting again in the near future for sure

i visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago, all i can say is WOW i will be returning very soon.i am a severe nut allergy sufferer therefore have never been able to eat Thai food as it was always too risky something would contain nuts. before we booked the table the woman on front of house ensured me that i would be able to eat at this restaurant and would tell me what i can and cant eat.when i arrived that evening with my family we all ordered our food as we was all sharing, every single food item that was ordered she told me if i could or couldnt have it. Things like this go along way with nut allergy sufferers like myself.The service we had was great and the food we eaten was incredible! i will certainly be returning VERY VERY soon.

We love this place and probably eat here (or takeaway) at least once a month. Everything is delicious and we’ve never had a bad meal. The service is always friendly and prompt and I really can’t find fault with it.

We have been here several times and you always get spot on service and some fantastic dishes... the king prawns are awesome.

4 people for dinner last night, nice restaurant inside and friendly welcome, quick drinks order, food order taken promptly, unfortunately it all seemed to go downhill from here!

I stopped by here on my way home recently for a takeaway for myself, I originally wanted a set meal, however I was told this wasn't available for 1 person. So I ended up ordering a beef masaman (my fave thai curry) and I was very disappointed, the beef was chewy and cut in to pieces that had to be cut up (I much prefer bite size pieces) and it was tough to cut through the fat. Even though the masaman is supposed to be sweet, I found this dish a bit sickly, it was very very creamy. I also had a mushroom Tom Yum and there was not a single oriental mushroom in it, just made with button mushrooms. I had been introduced to this restaurant by a friend and I really enjoyed my first experience so I'm very sad to say I won't be returning.

Lovely takeaway. Beef in black bean sauce was beautifully rich. Chicken phad med ma muang him ma parn had just the right amount of spice and wasn't greasy at all.

One of the best Thai places around with above and beyond customer service! my friend recently placed an order not realising it was collection only and when he called to explain the situation they arranged a delivery despite not having delivery drivers on duty. Not their problem at all but still fixed it and weren’t even going to ask for any money for the delivery! the food was delicious as usual

Got one of our orders wrong, but the food was excellent so not a massive issue!

Got one of our orders wrong, but the food was excellent so not a massive issue!

We couldn't get into our usual Thai restaurant so decided to try here. What a mistake! £22 for greasy deep fried starters. Main courses were lacking spice and really heavy and creamy. I felt leaving hungry, sick and ripped off! Never again.

Never been disappointed. Always a warm welcome, treated to some good courses of food with refreshing and clean flavours served by attentive staff.

A little expensive but worth every penny.

Best Thai food delivery in Leicestershire. Why can't you deliver every day?

Best Thai food delivery in Leicestershire. Why can't you deliver every day?

Have been a regular customer here over the past year since moving to the area. The last 2 orders we placed for delivery have taken between an hour and 40 mins, and 2 hours to arrive. Last night we ordered our usual including a portion of golden bags. The golden bags contained frozen sweet corn and peas, not the usual minced vegetable filling, wrapped in a won ton wrapper, and there was no sauce, and I paid £5.50 for the privilege, not impressed! Especially as we waited 2 hours for it to arrive. After our recent experiences, I won’t be placing anymore orders here.

After previous good experience here had called up to check they could still do vegan options. Staff literally laughed down the phone. Told fish sauce in everything, even in vegetarian options. Avoid if any dietary requirements.

True hidden gem. Great food. Shame no disabled access.

Food nice.. was quiet for a friday night untill about 8:30-9

I sited this restaurant on a Thursday evening on a solo business trip.

I have eaten take away and eaten in this place. Lately the take away has been not so brilliant BUT i have to say this evening was incredible. The prawns were amazing.the duck was incredible plus all starters fresh and tasty .

We walked in off the street, having been badly let down by another restaurant in Quorn, and were made most welcome.

Nice food generally quiet restaurant

Yo vivo cerca y vaya aquí un montón. Nunca he tenido un plato mal y soy un poco fan de la comida tailandesa es uno de los mejores en los que he estado. El servicio es estupendo, amable y atento, aunque batalle un poco cuando es inesperadamente lleno (pero donde no). No podría recomendar este restaurante más y el hecho de que llevar es fantástico.

Always great food. Only had delivery a couple of times but has always been on time or early. recommend this place for Thai food

The food was really tasty, the yellow chicken curry had just the right amount of spicyness! The delivery driver was very pleasant and called me upon arrival as requested. Thank you for a wonderful takeaway for my first night in my new flat. I will definitely be ordering again.

The food was exquisite and ready within the time stipulated. It's a bit pricey so i don't go there very often but when i do I'm never disappointed. Food heaven, there's nothing as tasty as Thai.

One word --- Delious. Thank you.

Food was excellent, had a home cooked quality. Service was also friendly and attentive - will be going again!

Not had a takeaway from here before although eaten in a few times. Food always good but sometimes lacking in atmosphere and number of diners. Always hot and cooked to perfection. We will return.

Food on time which is great. Thai green and red curries were very average but nice and would eat again. Chicken sate was very dry and very disapponting. Worst I've ever had from a Thai. Tom Kha soup was very sweet and had whole tomatos in it, how odd... Very expensive for average food.

Precioso restaurante en el pueblo de Quorn encima de la India. . nos dio la bienvenida y sentado el director encantador dueño/que me y nos aconsejó sobre las especialidades en el menú y la comida cuando salio estaba caliente, fresco y totalmente gorgus. . Sin duda lo recomendaría y volvería sin duda visitar de nuevo. . . Por recomendación de nuestra anfitriona, si prefiere comer en paz relativa, entonces debe comer temprano, ya que hace bastante concurrida y ruidosa de 7. 30 en adelante

Really tasty Thai meal with good quality ingredients

always high quality food and service!!!

Fabulous and extremely tasty, thank you!

Delicious and either always early or on time!

First time I have had food from here - was very good and I'll certainly use them again. Collection took a little longer than hoped for but it was on a Saturday evening!

Great food but massaman had no spice to it :( still nice though

Lovely food, a very friendly place to eat. And they spoiled my little one 😊

The food was horrific. I would give 0 stars if I could. My partner is currently gargling lucozade to try and remove the taste from his mouth.

the meal was fantastic and very high quality...excellent service and i will keep using for sure

As always perfect meal and service.

Although a little on the expensive side for a take-away, the food we had from Thai Tunnel tonight was delicious! Particularly the tempura veg - they weren't closed up in a box to get soggy!

Me encanta la comida tailandesa y encontrar que hay muy pocos restaurantes tailandeses alrededor. Fuimos con un grupo de parejas para un cumpleaños. Los camareros eran amables y atentos. Hay un montón de platos a elegir. Fuimos para una carne, vegetariano y platos combinados. Mucho donde elegir y delicioso. Mi favorito es un Massamam Curry, lo que me encantó es que el plato tenía un montón de verduras frescas mezcladas y tofu, nueces de anacardo vestidas con. Cubiertas de sésamo tostado coco precioso de arroz. El personal estaba encantado de hacer tomar cajas con las sobras.

Great food and service but not much choice of beers or wine.

Arrived within 20 mins of order and food delicious. Definitely ordering again. Perhaps as soon as tomorrow!

Comida deliciosa y un agradable ambiente de tranquilidad. El personal era educado y la comida era muy razonable!

Had a take away tonight probably worst Thai TA ever

Had a poor delivery service about a year ago so have been buying my Thai takeouts elsewhere since then but thought I'd give it another go. Pleased to say I wasn't disappointed. Food arrived within 40 minutes, still very hot and delicious. Big portion sizes too especially the Pak Tod vegetable starter. Will definitely be ordering again.

Really good Thai food. Massaman curry is epic! Defiantly will be ordering from here again!

^ personas en el grupo - todos nosotros tenían buena comida - todos tuvimos diferentes platos incluyendo vegetarianos la única crítica es que el personal era lento para tomar el primer orden de bebidas - después todo fue excelente

We visited the Thai Tunnel on a Friday night. The restaurant is modern inside and the staff are really attentive and friendly. The food was really tasty and authentic and the Thai fish cakes are really worth trying. Great value for money would recommend to anyone.

Lovely rice, noodles and exceptional curry. Delivered in good time. Nice driver

Try some of the prawns !! Massive succulent !!!Its a great restaurant with the usual Thai hospitality. A good choice for a big group or a romantic couple. Fair prices, I would say most people have it listed as a regular visit once they have been.

Had a rare night of so my husband and I decided to try here after hearing good things. It didn't dissapoint, the setting was lovely and clean and the food full of flavour. I will definitely be going back x

7pm Friday evening and the restaurant is empty....It doesn't take too long to realise why.I have had a more authentic meal from Tesco's for £10 for 2 than this restaurant. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if this is what they are serving but overcooked. This restaurant served the most over cooked starter and worst Thai Green Curry i have ever tasted. The best thing was the Chang Bottled Beer!!!! You will realise very quickly why it's empty......

Myself and my family had a delicious meal here a couple of weeks ago. The food was delicious and well presented. It was a warm atmosphere and quite quiet which was perfect for us as loud restaurants do not suite my dad. A really enjoyable evening and we will definitely be visiting again.

The food was quite tasteless in that the most over powering thing for every dish was they had made it quite spicy. I travel a lot to the far east so hot spicy for is not an issue but it needs flavour to go with it. The Chicken was very rubbery and the beef was tough. The table cloth was dirty as soon as we sat down so cleanliness is not high on the agenda. My one big complement is that they give you far far to much food so the best thing they could do is cut down on the portions and concentrate on getting the flavours and quality right. The same guy welcomed us in, took us to our table, served our drinks, brought out the food, cleared it away and brought the bill. Very strange evening all round, will I visit here again, Not really.

We love going here and it's always top of my list for my birthday. Choice is also great for vegetarians. It's not cheap but the quality is great and so is the quantity. I recently had mussels to start and had about 7/8 and my main of chicken and cashews could have fed two! Dinner for two with starters and a glass of wine and 2 beers was about £45/50. Already looking forward to going back.
