Don't believe the bad reviews. First off I'd like to say I NEVER EVER write reviews, for anything. I don't have the time and/or cannot be bothered, but I felt like this ONE time I had to, because I feel this place has unjustly been attacked with malicious negative reviews that do not at all represent what it is like.
I live down the street from cafe 209. It is a perfectly decent BYO. The food is cheap and delicious. The owner is quirky and we had several laughs with her. Those hate reviews about spoiled meat are completely untrue. The meat we had was fresh and tender. (We had huge amounts of satay chicken and various curries).
For the price this place is top notch, and great with a group of friends. The owner adds to the banter. bloody hilarious.
Don't believe the hate reviews - try it for yourself.
Ignore negative reviews, this is good. Went last night for a celebration meal and found the food fresh and tasty and Joy on excellent form. We mentioned that 2 of our party couldn't eat too much spice and everything bar the green curry was mild but with 3 different forms of chilli offered on the side for the rest of us. I cannot believe the negative reviews. The restaurant was packed and the ambience excellent. So the tables are a little close together but, hey, the bill for 3 courses was under £20 per head! What more could we wish for?
Besides the outstanding Thai food served here, which was in a perfect portion, the owners were stupendous people! The lady who took our order was extremely kind, caring, and such an amazing person to chat with! My family and I had a great experience here. Absolutely recommend.
