We came here on a busy night in early December before going to the cinema. I phoned ahead to make a reservation for two and asked whether we would be served quickly to make our film. We booked for 7pm so a little earlier than the party bookings. The tables were a bit close together. However, even though they were busy we were served really quickly and finished in time to walk to the cinema for 7.45.
The starters were overpriced for what they were in my opinion. We ordered a portion of garlic prawns on skewers - we got four prawns and a dipping sauce for around 8 pounds and they didn't taste of anything.
For mains we ordered the crispy sea bream with red curry sauce from the specialities menu and the prawn yellow curry. The sea bream came as two fillets drizzled with sauce. It was definitely not fresh. It tasted very fishy and was a bit overcooked. The dish was lacking in sauce so quite dry.
The yellow curry sauce was amazing. The prawn portion was generous and there was a lot of extra sauce which we used to mask the sea bream on the other dish. It just needed a few more vegetables in the pot to complete the dish.
We ordered a portion of rice and it was quite large - enough for two with rest of our food. We had a side dish of roti canai. The roti were tasty. There was not enough sauce for the two rotis so we used the sauce from our curry.
Overall, we ate well and made it to the cinema on time. The service was fast and friendly. I'm glad we came at the time we did, as when we were leaving, there was a queue for tables all the way up the stairs.
If we came here again we would skip starters and order a couple of different curries and some extra vegetables and enjoy ourselves.
Probably the unhappiest Thai people you will ever meet. But then again they work in Canary Wharf, so can you blame them?
Having only had a takeaway from here during lunch, it's not fair to give it a full review, so 3.5 will have to do, for now.
The food (Rendang) was nice enough but it needed more depth. It was a touch cold but that has to be expected with takeaway.
Would like to sit in next time.
