being thai i think i know what good thai food is about . as a local i regularly order take away from here but under one condition! it has to be the sister of the owner who cooks it or else your food could be rather disappointing. that is my only advice.

Just to say that after eating here regularly for many years and recommending it, I went back after being out of the country for some time last week. Sad news I;m afraid!! The crispy chilli fish was absolutely AWFUL, tiny overcooked pieces of very inferior fish swamped in "chinese style" sticky gloop with piles of bulking out veg! Really not good guys... come on! Also I thought that the protions sizes had got smaller...the curries were well executed but were in tiny bowls...I just felt that it was not quite as good as it has been...watch out talad, there are other good places catching up! Remember lots of people regularly travel in thailand with work or business, you can't bluff us anymore..we know what the real stuff looks like!!

Great food as you would get in a Bangkok cafe'. Papaya salad is uncompromisingly authentic with the bird eye chili twist and the fresh papaya zang. Close your eyes...and you could be on the beach in koh lanta! Most tender and succulent duck stir fry with basil...Talad Thai is a place where the prime ingredients are of prime quality.

I have always experienced the service as good and unimposing.

Mmmhhh? I guess that overall it is a YES! from me.

We live locally and have been to this little gem of a restaurant four times now (have only lived there for 5 months!) We went again last night and I felt the need to write a review. The food is easily the best Thai food we have had. It is divine and very authentic. If you enjoy Thai food then you MUST go - trust me you will love it. Not as fancy as some, but do not be put off by the decor - its the food that is important and it will blow you away. Looking forward to my next visit already. Was surprised to read the other comments about the service as we have always found them to be pleasant and very helpful.

Authentic Thai cuisine in an authentic Thai atmosphere and prices as cheap as Bangkok. Don't be put of by the "little lamb lost in the wilderness", this delicately spiced dish is delicious. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection and the fishcakes were excellent. The slightly erratic service only added to the charm of the place.

Had a friend over from Thailand who bought a book with her, which had a page dedicated to Thai eateries in London, included was the Talad Thai. So we decided to go there. I must admit at first that I was a bit sceptical, as all other Thai resaurants that I have been to in the UK have not exactly been Thai - too Westernised. But I was pleasently surprised. The food was excellent and service very good. It really was authentic, and if you know real Thai food then you will know it was 'pet', and it had all the authentic flavours with it. Not too expensive, but that would come secondary anyway. Excellent, will be going back again.
