Quick info
About Local Thai Restaurant
Local Thai Restaurant sits on Torbay Road in Paignton and operates as a Thai restaurant with a wider menu that also reaches into Nepalese dishes, alongside a takeaway service for collection and delivery. The kitchen covers Thai staples such as stir fried chicken with cashew nuts, and the counter handles both eat-in and takeaway orders through the same setup. Receipts are handwritten on a slip of paper at the till, with the food total and drinks total noted on separate lines. The room doubles as an Asian cafe and takeaway restaurant, so customers can eat in or take food away depending on the order. It functions as a walk-in, with the team serving customers as they arrive rather than working from pre-booked tables.

“Bardzo dobre jedzenie i miła obsługa, choć dostaliśmy ciekawy rachunek, poprostu na kartce bez wyszczególnienia podaną kwota za jedzenie i druga za napoje… w sumie zapłaciliśmy o 10£ więcej, sprawdziliśmy rachunek i ceny dopiero w hotelu. Także uwaga sprawdzać na miejscu !”
