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
Diners repeatedly point to the Pad Thai and the Thai green curry as standouts, with several describing the cooking as full of flavor and freshly made with big portions. Close behind, the rooftop setting draws consistent mention, with reviewers citing the Guildford city and castle views and one describing a sunset seen from the terrace at no extra cost. Multiple reviewers also note small touches from staff, including free ice cream with a candle for a birthday and other unprompted gestures during anniversary and celebration dinners. Service is called friendly and accommodating across several reviews, with one noting staff checked a dish for allergies. Against this, one reviewer found the food overpriced for the portions and described a crispy tofu dish arriving on iceberg lettuce and frozen vegetables, not actually crispy, with rice charged separately. Another reviewer found the chicken skewer portion small and the green curry too spicy for their taste, though still recommended the Pad Thai and called the overall visit enjoyable.

“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”
