The food here is delicious! Eaten in and had a take away several times and the food never fails to disappoint full of flavour and a large menu to choose from. The restaurant itself is very quirky and rustic, but I like it and the staff are all lovely. Cannot recommend highly enough!

The restaurant was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint at all. We were on a tight schedule, but they accommodated us wonderfully. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff lovely, and I would definitely go back again next time I'm in Basingstoke. Thank you so much

One of the best Thai food I've had in a long time. The variety offered for the seafood starter platter was perfect and the red curry with king prawns is a must try! Good value for money. The improvements i'd recommend are to have the meat chicken dishes made halal and to have some background oriental background music to give it a thai feel. Overall, a great experience.
