The best restaurants serving Thai food in Christchurch South West

Booked this whilst on holiday in Christchurch for a few days. I saw the 5* reviews on TripAdvisor and I have to say that they are fully justified. There is plenty of parking nearby and easy to find. When you enter the restaurant it has a really nice ambience and the tables are arranged really well, I liked the decorative screens that separated tables so you don’t feel on top of other guests creating a more intimate experience. A massive plus for this restaurant is the tall female manager. When I visit a Thai restaurant I like to see Thai people serving and cooking the food, this wasn’t the case at Nusara but I have to say the female Manager was absolutely fantastic, her knowledge of the dishes, recommendations and great ability to look after guests in an incredibly amiable way was a real credit to the business. I also liked the way she coached and looked after the younger members of staff. We had a slight mishap with the order that one of the younger members of staff took but the manager handled it with such style and class it really wasn’t a problem. The food was really very tasty and I left feeling very satisfied and wishing we had a Nusara close to home 🤣. Portion sizes are very good, two of us had a starter each and three main dishes, on reflection two starters and two main dishes would have been enough. The price was really good/fair in my opinion for a quality meal in a great environment. The manager highlighted the service charge was not compulsory, I think this was done due to the minor order mixup but it really wasn’t a problem and I was more than happy to pay. In summary / fantastic food, great service, great ambience all at a fair price.

Very friendly owners. Excellent service and superb food. If you’re looking for fresh authentic cooking I would highly recommend it.

What a great experience! Food choices excellent. Service was exceptional ... thank you Oliver. Very attentive, was at hand every time we needed anything and quick to provide for our particular requests. Eight in our party and empty plates at the end of each course. Couldn't have been better.
