Customer Review Summary
Starters draw the most praise, with vegan crackers and platters singled out as standouts, while curries split opinion, one diner found them bland like packet ramen, others called their red Thai curry delicious. Service ranged from attentive and fast to messy, with plates cleared mid-meal and a dessert menu that never arrived.

“Booked last minute table on a Saturday at 5.30pm.. wasn't too busy at that time. Service was excellent, very attentive and polite and just wanted us to have a nice time. Vegan crackers were lovely, and colourful! I had vegan red thai curry, …”

“Delicious- best I've had outside of Thailand. Very vegan friendly. Not too kind when you're sat in the back of the restaurant. Fast service even when busy.”

“Food was incredible! Can recommend getting the platters they were fantastic!”

“Ate in restaurant for first time over weekend (after ordering takeaway multiple times over last few years). Positives: - Starters were very good. Exactly the flavour profiles we love in thai food. Negatives: - The main courses (curry dishes) were average. Tasted like the powder from a packet of ramen. It wasn’t, but just not tasty. - The tables are really small, and the serving plates are huge! As such, it’s really awkward to share dishes and eat from small sideplates. - Wine selection very poor. - Service is a bit messy. During starters, the server removed plates (and my sideplate, cutlery etc) while partner still eating. Almost happened again during main courses. And then a dessert menu was requested but never arrived. Was also asked 3x (3 different servers) if my starters were okay within 1 minute of food arriving at table. Friendly, but messy. Overall, I’d go back for starters / street food and a beer.”

“Chilli is the best Thai restaurant around! The menu is varied and exciting, and there are always special dishes and drinks available. The restaurant is beautiful, bright and contemporary and the food is just as colourful. The team are always welcoming, friendly and so helpful. An absolute gem!”
