The Thai Bar & Restaurant in Glasgow City

A fantastic greeting on arrival. The Thai Bar & Restaurant is a clean and modern place with views of the Kitchen where you can see the food being prepared and cooked. My wife had Fish Cakes and I had Tom Yum for starters which were great, for mains we had Prawn Yellow Curry, Duck Pad Kra Pow & Papaya Salad. On this occasion we had Jasmine Tea but our next visit will be by train so we can sample the interesting Cocktail list. Having had food cooked by Benjarwan before (Bens Kitchen) her team at The Thai Bar &: Restaurant follow her great standards. At the end of our meal we were extremely surprised to find that our table had been selected at random and our total bill was on the house. A big thanks to the Thai Bar & Restaurant, Benjarwan & her staff. The restaurant is a 48 mile return journey for us but we will be back ขอบคุณ 🙏

Excelente experiencia! Tuvimos un gran tiempo visitando The Thai - la comida era excepcional, el servicio era rápido, el personal era acogedor y el ambiente en general era genial! Lo recomendaría encarecidamente

Been a few times now and love it. Food is great and staff are excellent. Very friendly place.

Amazing food, Beautiful atmosphere, will absolutely return

I have visited Thailand numerous times in my life and when back home I often get cravings for authentic Thai food. Up until my visit to The Thai in Shawlands I have never yet found a restaurant I could recommend that manages to capture the flavours that I remember so well. For instance one dish I tried was the Green curry. In other restaurants it always tends to be watery and no real depth of flavour from the coconut cream, spices and true Thai heat. In The Thai it is packed with flavour. We tied a few dishes Chicken Satay, Fish Cakes, Chicken Green Curry, Prawn Red Curry and the homemade cheesecake and each and every one was amazing. I would not hesitate to go back and am already looking forward to my next visit.

We had lunch in The Thai Bar & restaurant and we had the best lunch we have had in ages. True authentic Thai food and the staff where friendly and talkative. We will be back here again in the near future. Highly recommended for people who love authentic Thai cuisine.

Food so yummy best I've been town. Staff friendly

Great find! Authentic taste came through with quality ingredients, and excellent service. My wife and I felt we were back in Thailand 😁

Party of 4 that all enjoyed their meal. They adjusted their spice levels to suit everybody and had a great choice of mocktails. The service was extremely friendly and helpful

Amazing freshly cooked food, from a big open kitchen. Fresh ingredients, super tasty. The chef was very keen to make sure we enjoyed our food, and the service was great. Would highly recommend.

An intimate dining experience in a modern setting. Welcoming and friendly staff. Fresh tasting food at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be back!

Visited for dinner. Enjoyed great tasting food and quick service. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout

Went there for a surprise birthday dinner with a group of 7 and it was the best experience and customer service I have ever experienced. Staff went beyond expectations and had put out birthday balloons and banners and sang happy birthday. The cocktails tasted great, and the food was so tasty. Will definitely be coming back!

Went there for a birthday dinner and the staff were very friendly, even put out balloons and a birthday banner.

Great food and very warm, friendly service when we wen there with a large group for a birthday dinner. Good range of drinks on the menu.

First time trying this lovely place, excellent food ,gluten free and vegan options required . Server advised and guided us 5hrough the menu,visually very colourful and tasted excellent. My wife said Chicken and Cashew was best ever tasted . Thank you we will return

The food and service were top class! Lovely decor. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices too. Can not fault. Will definitely be going back. P.s. The sticky toffee pudding is AMAZING 😍😍😍. I had chicken wontons and massaman curry also and they were exceptional. Will look forward to returning

This restaurant has an excellent menu with suitable options for vegans and vegetarians. Portions are generous and sides are usually included with the reasonably priced dishes. Plenty of choice of starters and mains. Food is beautifully presented. Service is prompt and friendly, we were a group of 10 and any minor mix up was quickly sorted. There’s a semi private area upstairs which is good for larger parties. We would definitely return!

Recently had a dinner from here. The food was excellent and would recommend it to friends. I ll certainly be back. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Tried this Thai restaurant for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last. The food is just delicious. We tried a lot of different dishes and they were all superb. The service was great and the staff were lovely. Can’t wait to visit again

Had dinner here with friends such a lovely restaurant. The food was delicious the service was fab and the staff lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back

Can't recommend enough! Authentic Thai food at a great price. Restaurant is run by the lovely Ben, who kindly gave me a tub of sweet chilli to take home for my parents. So kind! Cocktails are also outstanding...recommend the coco killa (like a spicy marg with a coconut hit). Will tell anyone who will listen to visit...a proper hidden gem 💎

Highly recommended, fantastic food

Thai bar restaurant is the my favorite place and food first time been here the food were amazing and staff very friendly more welcome I recommend to come back here again

Haven't been in to see you for a few weeks but hope to be back soon to enjoy a great meal.

Went for dinner here on Thursday night place was nearly full , and a good atmosphere. Food was lovely I’m not a fan of fish so had mixed springs rolls and the coconut chicken soup. I then had the lamb curry with jasmine rice and the mango and rice pudding. All was very tasty and cooked to perfection.

I took my Mum here for lunch yesterday and she was delighted (and she's a hard lady to please!) The staff were so lovely and welcoming, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to it already 😋

Food good. . But service not good. they dont give any chopsticks. Even tissues or spoons. How we can eat ?

First time visitors and each course was so full of flavour and the staff amazingly friendly. First class all round and will be back soon. Thanks to all.

The Staff were extremely friendly and the food was outstanding, if you've never had authentic Thai food this would be the go too place. Very flavourful

Utterly amazing & authentic Thai food. Can’t believe this is my first time here. Will 100% be back. Service and food outstanding.

Had a fantastic meal here at the weekend, food was delicious and staff brilliant will 100% be back

Fantastic restaurant. Food and staff brilliant. Can see why they are winning big awards.

Great restaurant, food superb! A big thank you to Gift who was very attentive! Thank you we'll definitely be back. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was delicious, and very authentic. Lovely service from the very attentive and helpful staff. We would highly recommend The Thai Bar & Restaurant

I had such a fantastic meal here! The food was amazing, there was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were so friendly. Loved it and will be back.

Great food, lovely service, underrated in shawlands for how amazing the food was.

Amazing, fresh food cooked from scratch by their brilliant chef. Really friendly wait staff too, 10/10!

Collected a takeaway from here. Super friendly staff. The food was delicious- the red Thai curry which was spicy and fragrant and the beef massaman rich and tasty . We'll visit the restaurant to eat next time!

I found this fantastic restaurant off the beaten track in Glasgow. Just 10 minutes from central Glasgow. I took the train from central station which stops opposite. Originally from Bangkok the owners and chef cook authentic Thai food. It was superb. The staff and owner are so friendly. I would highly recommend.

Lovely people paired with lovely Thai food. So good!

Lovely restaurant with delicious food and great service. We had a baby with us in a large group of 8 and the staff were so accommodating to provide a suitable table and bring over a high chair. The satay chicken, weeping tiger and cashew chicken are all 10/10 Food is halal

The special dish designed by head chef Ben was awesome—prawn sashimi Thai style. My son loved the special menu item, Khao Soi. The ambiance was delightful, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. Every course was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. We were particularly impressed by the variety and creativity of the menu. This was a dining experience we won’t forget, and we look forward to returning soon. Highly recommended!

The staff is friendly and the food is great and authentic. Very recommended!

Very lovely staff, and delicious food. Will definitely be returning!

Generous portions and outstanding service. Highly recommendable and will definitely return!

First visit after hearing good things from a friend and we were not disappointed! Lovely staff and great food, definitely want to go back to try out other dishes!

Wonderful food and beautiful interior! I love coming here with my partner or friends. The service is great too.

The food at this restaurant is brilliant. All meat is halal and no pork on the menu. The papaya salad was divine, and the staff was so very gracious. Definitely plan on returning.

My fiance and I came here tonight, a welcoming, friendly and amazing place! Would highly recommend, quick service too! We will definitely be back!

Amazing good and equally amazing service. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Food was great - proper authentic tasty Thai dishes. Cosy, friendly atmosphere. Great wee find. Will definitely be back

So friendly and wonderful fresh delicious Thai menu. Went on a Sunday evening and still busy. We had the satay chicken and prawn wantons to start. These were the best wontons I’ve ever had. I had chicken pad Thai and the others had penang chicken. It was marked with 3 chillies, and after discussion with the server, the kitchen toned it down to 2 which was perfect. 👌 nice portions and everything was delicious. We would thoroughly recommend.

We had a lovely business dinner in here tonight and I can honestly say the meet was amazing! Best restaurant meal I have had in years!! There is something for everyone here, staff were so friendly, the atmosphere was very relaxed. I would highly recommend anyone to try it. Thank you Thai Restaurant and bar 🫶🏻

I tried my first Thai yellow curry tonight and it didn’t disappoint. You can taste the freshness of ingredients in every bite. A beautiful mild spice dish clearly made with passion. Thank you for this experience I will definitely be back to try more of the menu with my husband Iain. The staff are wonderful and attentive with a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Great food and excellent service by friendly staff

Amazing Thai food and wonderful service

Spent a fabulous afternoon at The Thai Bar & Restaurant with friends. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food SO good. We all thought it was exceptional. Gift was amazing and looked after us so well. Can't wait to go back 😋❤️

Fabulous food, fresh and full of flavour, truly the Thai experience. Friendly and welcoming staff. Well worth travelling for.

Took my mum and dad here and we absolutely loved it! The food is absolutely beautiful, the service is on point and I can't wait to come back. Thank you.

Solid meal and about as authentic as it's possible to do with UK ingredients - crispy chicken was amazing and the green curry also pretty good, not as spicy as Thailand but enjoyable.

My wife & I just had an impromptu weeknight dinner at The Thai. We had fishcakes & chicken wings then my wife had Green Curry, I had Penang Curry & deep fried ice cream for dessert. This place is fantastic, service excellent, food sensational SO MUCH FLAVOUR & just enough spice! There's not a lot of good Thai places around & this place is the real deal: the Thai chef Ben came over & chatted to us after our meal. And they also do take-away for collection & Uber-Eats. Do yourself a favour - give this place a try, you'll be glad you did 🤩

Beautiful authentic Thai food. All the elements, sweet, sour, salt and spice and an incredible welcome too. So glad we have a proper Thai restaurant in the southside and a bonus that it is very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back again soon.

I’ve had take away from The Thai a few times and had the Penang curry which is always fantastic. The staff are always lovely also. However, this time I tried the tofu Tom yum soup and my mum had the tofu Tom kha soup and I was disappointed and little nervous. The Tom kha looked correct, creamy coconut soup with tofu, onions mushrooms (all listed on the online menu). However the Tom yum was a beige colour and looked curdled and the menu doesn’t say it contains mushrooms or onions but it contained both? It had a strange curdled appearance to it (not clear as I thought it would be) but the ingredients do not list coconut milk or any other dairy so I’m not sure what would have given it this split look. And since I can clearly see some of the ingredients that were in it were not listed on the menu I’m a bit worried about what I’ve eaten as I’m pregnant and having to be more cautious. I would love to know the ingredients list for the tofu tom yum as they don’t appear to all be listed on the menu!

Food was absolutely brilliant, shared a good amount of food with a friend and we both had plenty and it was very authentic. Also very reasonably priced. Good atmosphere in a clean modern environment. The service was excellent, attentive and had a great laugh! Couldn’t recommend this place enough

Fantastic find in Shawlands! They fitted us in last minute and the food was fantastic. The Massaman curry was fantastic. 2 starters, 2 mains and a bottle of wine for £80... Well worth it

Very friendly staff and tasty food!

Amazing Place! The food is delicious and the personnel is very friendly. If you are in Glasgow is worth to be visited!

Great fresh food. Tasted amazing.

This is a wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious. Lots of choice as a vegan. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. We were there for a birthday and they had decorated the table as a surprise to us all to celebrate. They took time and care for everything. 100% reccomend!

First visit to The Thai and we will definitely be back! The food was excellent, really fresh and fragrant and all home cooked. I had the larp salad and it was the best I’ve tasted, my partner had the pad Thai with king prawns which he thought was really flavoursome. We started with thai fish cakes and prawn wontons, both delicious and very generous portions. Service was friendly and very welcoming and the space was light and airy. Highly recommended!

Meal was a tad disappointing. I ordered a steak salad and steak was quite raw. Friend’s meal was average. I think meal overall was overpriced. Not sure I’d be back . Waiting staff and owner were lovely .

The most authentic thai food I have eaten in Scotland. Its so so so so delicious! This is going to become my go-to dinner destination!

Lovely chicken wings, satay, curries and dessert. Casual, comfortable surroundings and good service. We will be back!

Absolutely beautiful food, great atmosphere and warm friendly staff 🥰

Once again a brilliant meal and wonderful service from all staff Well worth the 2 hour round trip to eat here .Food freshly cooked and always a service with a smile .

Just a bit nippy! The food was excellent but unfortunately just a bit too spicy for us which is a shame as I thought we eat alot of spicy food! Flavour was lovely and service excellent. We had Penang and Thai Red currys.

Tucked away in a lovely location, this is an absolutely wonderful restaurant with great, friendly staff and - the headline - the food is absolutely tremendous. I absolutely love Thai food, it's the best in the world (in my opinion) and finding and keeping a good restaurant hasn't always been easy in/around Glasgow. This place is among the very best, if not actually the best, and the food is up there with the food I ate in Thailand, it is that good. It's authentic, it's delicious and, if you want it to be, it's gloriously spicy but in that way that only Thai food can really be, with the tongue-tantalising array of perfectly balanced spices, sweet, sour and tart. A festival of flavour and a place I will be visiting as often as I can possibly justify it. Across the three of us we had the Chicken Panang (amazing), the Red Chicken Curry (not normally one of my favourites but it was glorious) and the Pad Kra Pao (father in law grudingly left a sliver for me to taste and it was absolutely superb and 100% what I'll be having next time). If you like Thai food, make sure you get along and try. If you don't like Thai food - try it anyway, it's THAT good. If you're not sure - go try it anyway, hopefully you'll be delighted. Tremendous.

Food was fantastic. Sooooo fresh. Staff very very friendly and made my dishes 100%vegetarian. Definitely recommend. Will be back. Red Thai curry was yummy and the vegan gado gado was superb.

Great food! Very friendly and professional staff! I really enjoy my visit

Food was amazing. They do halal and gluten free. Highly recommend

The food from here is sensational, so much so some of the food from the menu would feature on my death row last supper. Visited 15th March 2024 (3 of us) and we are all fussy eaters, and couldn’t fault the place in fact possibly my favourite meal at any restaurant in the last 5 years. Without highlighting some of the menu come and try it, it’s unfair to mention just one thing as everything we ate was spectacular but if fan of cheesecake, try the burnt cheesecake. OMG! Words can justify, must try!

Visited The Thai last night for the first time and had an excellent meal. Starters of Veg Spring Rolls and Chicken Satay were delicious. Massaman Curry and Sweet and Sour Chicken were also superb and the Burnt Cheesecake (made in-house) was exceptional. Lovely presentation, portion sizes were very generous and the staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. Clearly the ethos is to deliver the best possible customer experience and this is echoed by the visit to the table of Ben, the chef, who enthused about the cuisine and the staff. All in all a highly enjoyable evening and a very lucky find for us. Give yourself a Thai treat and make a visit your priority.

Excellent food, got takeaway, tasty fresh and relatively healthy ingredients

Visited for a mother's day lunch with the family. Such a friendly, family-run restaurant. The freshly made food was absolutely fantastic. Incredible flavours and the images of Thailand on the walls really made us feel like we were on holiday!

What a experiance, we went with the whole family, on Thursday evening, the food was delicious, very high quality products, the head chef is a Thai Lady, who knows what she cooks! Very nice ambiance and service very discreat and profesional. I would definately will be back! 5* Real Thai taste.

Amaizing food, service and atmosferę. Visited with family and definately will be back! Real Thai food,tapas selection was absolutely delicious! You can feel the chef has a clue!

Great to spend Saturday night with friends. Food was very tasty and authentic. So happy to know we have a Thai place on the Southside! Friendly and helpful staff with good understanding of Thai cuisine. Looking forward to more authentic Thai flavours in the future. Great chef and super desserts too.

Excellent food, warm & friendly staff, authentic Thai food. The chef was very friendly. Spacious , clean and warm place. Well worth the visit.

Had a lovely meal this evening at the Thai bar with my wife Lisa . It was our first time visiting but we will be definitely be back. Food was delicious, I’m a huge fan of Thai cooking and have tried most of the restaurants in Glasgow but that was the best Thai food I have tasted in a while. You could see that Ben and her team have real passion and this definitely comes across in the food and it was lovely that she came across to meet us at the end of the meal too. The place has a really nice vibe to it too and the staff were super helpful even though they were down some members after calling in sick. Would thoroughly recommended.

Lovely evening at The Thai with authentic Thai cuisine,great value meal and very friendly staff.Highly recommend a visit.

This for me is the most authentic Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to in Glasgow. I love my Thai food and I love Thailand so to have this on my doorstep in the Southside of Glasgow makes me feel very lucky! The food is outstanding! High quality ingredients, authentic flavours and the staff are the friendliest you’ll come across. Thoroughly recommend! Go visit! If you love Thai food, you’ll love the Thai bar and restaurant !

I went there for lunch, and it was amazing. I would really recommend this restaurant, especially the pan thai. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Incredible food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic dinner! Amazing food, reasonably priced and great service 😊

Fantastic Thai food - all freshly cooked / great service and very competitive pricing - a definite return visit on the cards
