Gorgeous little restaurant however I would have liked a little more meat in the massaman. The ginger curry had plenty of duck though. I would have liked a bigger selection of soft drinks too. The portions and taste were great though and we especially liked the carrot and peanut salad.

Staying in the area for a weeks holiday we fancied a takeaway and glad there was a thai willing to deliver. Service was prompt and efficient and arrived in the estimated time unlike those local to us. We found the mixed starters were a little deep fried and lacking in flavour relying on the accompanied dips. The satay sauce was the best thing amongst them. The complimentary? prawn crackers were like that of a Chinese takeaway disappointing and bland. Starters not VFM for me. The Pad thai was pleasantly average, with the stand out dishes being the Massaman and the green curries. The only question marks were how many pieces of the beef in the Massaman were actually stewed or were some just boiled for a while to make up the quantity but that’s nitpicking. We were also disappointed and surprised it didn’t come with the rice like it would in the restaurant, that feels a bit stingy for the sake of rice. A mixed delivery bag therefore value for money wise with the overall feeling like it was a touch too expensive as a takeaway for what we received and so if we lived here we wouldn’t be buying it regularly. The restaurant maybe a different story.

Deliciously fresh Thai food in a gently lit below ground restaurant. Excellent service, polite staff. Wide menu range - took a while to choose from lots of options! Settled on chicken stir fry with ginger and Prawn Pad Thai plus spring roll and fish cake starters. Beautifully presented and tasty. Would visit again.

We needed to find somewhere vegetarian friendly. Wow. We had the mixed veg starter and it was to die for! Delicious! The only problem was there was too much and so neither of us could finish our equally delicious pad thai. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the restaurant caters for vegetarians just as generously as for those who love meat (as we had both in our group). The starters are tasty, generous and attractive, but the show stoppers are the main courses, which are packed full of flavour. The food was so delicious, everyone in our group voted to go back a second time within a week to try some of the alternative dishes they felt they had missed out on! This allowed people to try stir fry and curry options. I would also encourage people to check out the set menu, which has a good balance of dishes if one is struggling to make up their mind. We were too full for puddings, so can't comment on these sadly!

We had a takeaway and were very disappointed. Order was incorrect with missing item, although not charged. The lemon chicken, which was basically 4 chicken nuggets served with chips?? And a cold pot of dip, (£14.95). The rice was half a takeaway container full, still in the boil in the bag. Grilled prawns were 4 prawns on a base of wilted lettuce for £14. Overall, poor value for money and quality.

Me and my partner love Thai food but this was unacceptable! First the waitress was really rude and looked like she didn’t want to serve us as they were about to close in 30 minutes which is enough time to eat and make food. Secondly, when asking for a recommendation the lady took one look at me and gave me the most mild food ever and then continued to ask me about how spicy I like my food and then finially she was like okay you will like the green curry after I had ordered the yellow curry. She then kept saying oh it has onions and portatoes in and I had to say I love these or I wouldn’t have ordered it to get her to stop being rude. My partner had satay and pad Thai which stained his hands yellow for a few days!!! I don’t know what they put in it! The pad Thai’s chicken was obviously cooked separately as it was bland. My yellow curry was okay except it was so sweet I couldn’t finish it and then the waitress looked annoyed at the fact that I didn’t like the food despite explaining to her several times that it was too sweet and sickly, my food was definatly cooked separately too as the portatoes had no flavour. I paid roughly £13.95 for this and it was not worth a penny!!! When the bill arrived she didn’t even give us a discount or anything off the bill despite several complaints. The waitress overall was rude and looked like she didn’t want to be there and it definatly was not authentic Thai food as everything was cooked separately. I will never ever ever go there again after this experience and I would say to other people not to go either.

We have eaten in a lot of Thai restaurants in the Midlands and enjoyed the cuisine but the experience over the weekend was the worst by far. Heavy fat ladened so called prawn toasts on thick bread completely in edible main course again heavy ladened with rancid fat along with poor quality ingredients.. One of the waitresses chewing gum throughout the evening whilst serving customers crowned it all.By the time I got home I was suffering with stomach cramps which lasted the rest of the weekend. My suggestion avoid this place like the plague

I have visited this restaurant many times. The food was excellent as always. On this occasion, I was a little disappointed with the service. I had pre booked a table for 4. When we were shown to the table, it was only set up for 3. We had to ask for the extra cutlery, etc. When we came to pay the bill, it was delivered to the table with only 3 chocolates, yet they had been serving 4 of us for over 2 and a half hours!!! However, I will still go back as the food made up for the lack of attention to detail on service.

Lovely food. What let the place down was the fact that we ate in a barrel vaulted room which carried the sound from the other tables, so you could hear their conversations as if they were sitting next to you.

KEEP AWAY!!!!! After looking online places to eat we thought this would be the perfect place and we were absolutely WRONG!!! We arrived at 8:05 and as soon as we walked trough the door there was two girls chatting at the bar and gave us the evil look saying the restaurant closes at 9pm even though the restaurant was full. You would think after restaurants struggling because of Covid they would want people to come through the door and the staff would be happier to have a job, but certainly not this girls working there. They were absolutely rude and unwelcoming. I think if the owners want to keep the doors open they definitely should rethink who they should employ as they are killing the business. I do NOT recommend and will NEVER be back!!!!!

Small Thai restaurant, good atmosphere in the vaulted basement. The staff were friendly and the food was good. We had the mixed starter followed by the red and green curries this offered a good selection. I would visit again if I was in the Ashbourne...

We were really looking forward to eating here as we all love Thai food. My parents went to pick up the takeaway and didn't get a particularly warm welcome. They also forgot one of our dishes which they had to wait for. Apology was offhand. However, the worst part was our prawn pad Thai that had chicken in it. 2 of our party are pescetarian so couldn't eat it, despite this being the dish we had ordered to share. I actually ate some of the chicken before I realised, which I was furious about as I don't eat chicken. The rest of the food was fine, but this really overshadowed our meal. Would never go back and wanted to warn people

After visiting the Thor's Cave, my friend and I came across this place. We thought you can't go wrong with Thai food can you? How wrong we were! We walked in and whilst waiting to be seated, a lady was wiping the dishes and staring at us with no "Welcome, someone will be with you shortly". The decor in this place looks like it has not been revamped since the 90's. The carpets worn out and the one bathroom in dyer need of a refurbishment. We finally got seated and asked the waitress a very basic dietary question to her response "I don't know". You would think she would have double checked with the chef, but that was to inconvenient for her. I digress, for starters my friend had the battered prawns and I had the Chicken Satay (picture attached, you can see just how luxurious the table cloths are). My friend commented on how off the prawns tasted. Mine was basic, but bearable enough to eat. The mains however came and the smell was so PUNGENT. I cant explain it, the noodles were drenched in sauce and smelt really fishy and off. I commented that there may be a lot of fish sauce in it, however the manager (or owner) informed us there was no fish sauce in the dish. Am I really in a Thai restaurant who doesn't have fish sauce in their Pad Thai? Anyway we tried our first bite and it was disappointing and inedible. I have never taken my food back, but this was horrific. I paid for our inedible food and left! This really ruined our evening.

Excellent ! I've eaten at the one in Nottingham several lunch times, always good and the Matlock one more than lived up to expectations. All very good, can't fault it, definitely recommended.
