Quick info
About Naka Thai
Naka Thai is a Thai restaurant on an industrial estate in Colchester, with a garden on the premises offering outdoor seating. The kitchen works through the familiar Thai spread, covering tom yum soup and panang curry alongside other house plates, and caters to vegans with a separate menu of options. Cocktails and mocktails run alongside the food, and easy parking makes drop-in visits straightforward. The format is walk-in throughout service, with no booking posture set, and the garden is the room that draws repeat visits in warmer months.

“The food was delicious and the place had great atmosphere - we loved the outdoor seating area which was really pretty and made for a perfect relaxed summer’s evening. And the cocktails were stunning!!”
- Jonathan Cadogan
“An absolute gem. We stopped in on our way home to London. Slightly odd location but don't be put off. It has a wonderful garden and really nicely presented inside, too. Fantastic vegan selection. Fresh, high quality ingredients and authentic flavours and spices. The Tom Yum soup was delicious and the Panang curry had a proper kick to it. Good variety of drinks and the mocktail we tried was yummy, too. We'll definitely stop again.”
