Cafe de Thai

Awfull! Food was clearly reheated and old, served on freezing cold plates. Beer was warm and prawn crackers were stale. Fish tasted decidely off. When we questioned the waiter we were told "this is how it is in Thailand"?!. We were forced to pay for an inedible meal with the waiter telling us if we didn't pay his boss would charge him. There are plenty of great Thai restaurants in the area so there is absolutely no reason to ever visit this one.

PLEASE AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

I don't normally write reviews but this restaurant has got to be the worst I've been to in London. We went there on a KGB deal. I ordered a diet Coke, and it tasted as though it had been diluted with water! One of the starters was tempura. What we got was three small broccoli florets and half an onion leaf (!!) deep fried in batter! The plate of sauce that came with the 'platter' looks as though another customer had used it. The tom yum soup and curry looked like leftovers. The waiter that night could not even bother to clear our dishes. This restaurant does not even deserve to stay open!

I went this restaurant after the wedding, which's been recommended from my friend. We do really enjoy with the food for our party. It's so tasty!!

On the other hand, we found the defect of their customer, the body is of interest, was making matters a lot by complain your chillies isn't hot, no coconut in the jungle curry. She said, have been to Thailand and don't lie to the customer.

It's so pity for the poor waiter. That lady also convinced colleagues not to pay service charge and some dishes because she wanna safe a few quids. I cannot accept this matter.

Avoid this restaurant - the waiter is very unfriendly. The food is disgusting - avoid the yellow curry at all cost - it tastes awful. We went on a Kgb deal and were not given a choice of what to eat - they just started serving food whether we liked it or not - on the main menu had a choice only of different curry's but if you didn't like curry or were allergic - then too bad. Really awful - spoilt my family's outing.

The food was disgusting. This is the worst place I have ever eaten. There was one waiter running around doing everything. The food was from the freezer to the micro wave and then the table, mine still frozen in the middle and really bland, I could hear the micro bell ping from my table. I went on one of those kgb deal coupon and everyone in the cafe had the same coupon we did. They ask you to order drinks first, but i know now why, you need to be drunk to eat there, then it wouldnt matter what the food taste like. The soup looked and taste nasty, the second course had 3 prawns and you got onion and carrot in batter. i could hear comment from the other table saying they not going to complain as they were afraid.

I really think I should have had a refund from kgb deal, but the cafe looked like they need the money.

We were very impressed with this restaurant! The service was excellent from the moment we entered the restaurant and our waiter was very attentive. The setting is lovely, modern and intimate.

We had the set menu and it was very nice! The food looked good, was well presented and tasted good.

It is easy to get to from the tube station and if we are ever in this part of London again then we will pay them another visit!

Thank you very much to the staff for making our evening so enjoyable.

Recently, I visit this Thai restaurant in Notting hill area with my colleagues. I've been there quite a few times,

because I do like the taste of the food, comfortable place and affordable prices with the discount opportunity on the tastecard.

we're enjoyable with the food and the simple service from 3 waiters. We gave them the service charge and also extra as well.

This is my fathers favourite restaurant and I can now see why.

As you walk in to a rather unassuming restaurant you are greeted by waiters with smiles all round.

The food is amazing. I would suggest always trying the specials on the menu. Barbeque duck or Drunken duck salad is fresh and delicious!

There is green garden view where you can sit and enjoy a brandy or a jasmine tea after dinner to let all the delicious food digest. The atmosphere can be buzzing on certain week nights but other nights it can be very romantic.

The service charge only 10% of the food and drink,but I gave them more as they serve us a great meal. A must try for all Londoners!

The service and food was awful! I don't normally complain about the service and food in restaurants. But there was only one person serving us and others as the girl that greeted us initially didn't know how to communicate with us.

I had to wait at least 15 minutes for my pineapple and coconut drink which tasted so watered down, when my boyfriend got his glass of wine within 5 minutes. Our menu was handwritten as we came on a voucher deal, although we ended up spending more than what we paid for the voucher on drinks - 2 glasses of wine and glass of juice + service charge. They add service charge on everything.

I came there optimistically despite seeing all the negative reviews just before going.

Was told when booking over the phone that they only take cash, but when we got there, they had a card machine and we paid with the card for the extras.

The two girls sitting next to us was moaning about their food to each other. Their salad was over-peppered..you could even see the thickly peppered part on the lettuce leaves.
