Quick info
About The Thai Terrace - Rooftop Restaurant & Cocktail Bar
On the 7th floor in Guildford, The Thai Terrace serves Thai food from a rooftop dining room with a lily pond, and the terrace looks out over the city and Guildford Castle. Seating runs inside or outside, and it takes walk-ins rather than reservations. The menu covers Pad Thai and Thai green curry, with a chicken skewer offered as a starter and a crispy tofu dish that arrives with rice on the side. Staff will check dishes for allergies on request, useful for anyone dining with dietary restrictions. Birthdays get a free ice cream with a candle. Between the plants, the pond and the castle views from the terrace, the setting extends beyond the plates themselves, and diners can choose whether to sit under cover or out in the open air.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the food at The Thai Terrace, with the Pad Thai singled out by name and several calling the flavours authentic, one saying it recalled time living in Thailand. Close behind are the rooftop setting, with its Guildford city and castle views and a sunset one diner saw, and the service, described as friendly, accommodating and helpful with the menu, including a waitress who checked a dish against an allergy. Desserts are praised as rich but not overly sweet, and one birthday party received free ice cream with a candle. Others mention the choice of drinks and the option to sit inside or out on the terrace. The criticism is specific. One reviewer found the crispy tofu came on iceberg lettuce with frozen vegetables, was not crispy, and was overpriced with rice charged separately. Others found the chicken skewer portion small, the green curry too spicy, and the room noisy when busy. One returning diner had feared poor service as the place grew popular, yet found a Monday night as good as ever.

“I hadn’t been to the Thai Terrace for several years as I’ve always felt it became too busy with increasingly poor service as its popularity grew and grew. However we decided to give it a go on a Monday night and it was as superb as ever: lovely people, great food and wonderful surroundings. We also witnessed this beautiful sunset for no extra cost!”

“Food was good! Although the chicken skewer portion size was quite small 😅. Food was really tasty definitely recommend the Pad Thai. Thai green curry was a bit too spicy for me. Came here to celebrate with friends, about £30 per person. A little noisy since it was quite busy. Service was good, the waitress made sure to check the food for my allergies. Overall really enjoyed it, and had a great time 😊”

“Food was over priced and poor ingredients. Ordered crispy tofu which came on a bed of iceberg lettece and frozen veg along with tofu that wasn't crispy and wrapped in some sort of egg ingredient. Rice comes seperatly. Considering the price it should be included. Staff was nice, view was ok. But Not worth it”
