The best restaurants serving Thai food in Colchester East of England

Food was great in taste, but was very small portions for the price. We spent more than we ever do at other Thai restaurants in Colchester and didn't even have leftovers to take home like we usually would. £24.99 for tamarind prawns is steep, but thought we would try it as it was in the 'Large Plates' section. When It arrived, it was just 6 prawns. No advice was given when ordering as to the portion sizes or what comes with rice etc so it was a complete guessing game. We ordered 3 meals for 2 of us and left feeling unsatisfied. The drinks were great, venue is nicely decorated but lacked atmosphere. Bright lights and sparse tables left it feeling a bit like we were there when they hadn't fully opened yet.

We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Our first time visiting the restaurant in the new location. It was lovely. Sadly, we had a 45 min. wait before our starters even arrived and another lengthy wait for our main dishes. The food though was excellent and very well presented and service couldn’t be faulted. On a busy Saturday evening, I did think the takeaways were taking too much of the kitchen’s time. Maybe this should be confined to weekdays only?
