"Came across this Thai restaurant whilst venturing around Upper Street in Islington Angel. This is not a cafe, this is an exquisite Thai restaurant that serves supurb Thai food in a lovely setting. We hadn't booked but were fortunate to be allocated a table, their is seating outside at the front of the restaurant, lots of seating inside but then it opens into this lovely outdoor garden area which really gives this place an unique and stylish atmosphere, it has a lovely ambiance with fantastic hosts so attentive and so professional. We chose The Chicken Dumplings £6.65 and the Spring Onion Pancake £3.00 as our starters, incidentally served very quickly. They were slightly greasy and luke warm but nevertheless you could taste the thai flavours oozing through every bite so we didn't mind. Our main courses were the Grilled Chicken Curry £12.90 and the Massaman Beef Cheek Curry £13.80 were both delicious. Succulent chicken and the beef was just so tender it was absolutely perfect, the flavours infused with every mouthful made these dishes. We both had the egg fried rice served with our curries which were reasonably priced at £3.50. The drinks served here are on the tad pricey side but that being said in fairness if you expect quality food, perfect ambiance you expect to pay slightly more for your drinks. The only negative criticism I can give is that the seating in the outdoor area could do with being more comfortable hence the 4 star review. In conclusion a lovely Thai restaurant not sure why they call it a cafe though as the name does not do it any favours as this establishment certainly doesn't look like a cafe, it doesn't feel like a cafe and it definitely doesn't charge cafe prices as the restaurant includes a 12.5% service charge. Highly recommend opens ever day 12.noon to 23.00. We noted that it closes 10.pm on Sunday's so beware."

"For some people in Falmouth when they think of Thailand they might look back to touristy traps like the full moon parties with buckets of booze, 7/11 cheese toasties and Chang beer vests, well they’ve got it all wrong. If you’re like me, I was so swept up in the wave of youth that I didn’t pay real attention to the edible delicacies, so thank god when I stumbled across Thai Orchid that the heavens gave me a second shot. The night began with a couple of crisp Singha Beers which were in the cutest half pint glasses, accompanied by a couple of crackers vegan friendly, yet bursting with that classic flavour. This wet the whistle and egged us on to order more than we thought humanly possible…how little did we know that fateful night. I know what you’re thinking, get the food review…all in good time my fair feathered Google friend, now for the decor review. The atmosphere feels cosy, yet celebratory, embracing modern art and traditional Thai interior alike. The ceiling draped in something akin to muslin makes for the sound chatter to be deliciously smoothed and intimate. The hospitality here is also clearly second to none, we felt truly cared for, our every requirement granted and dietary desire stimulated. To start, we ordered the vegan cauliflower wings and dumplings which came on an impressive serving platter, crispy on the outside, tender on the inner. The dipping sauces left nothing to the imagination, and were accompanied by beautifully dressed beds of salad. Next we had Tom Kha (or maybe Tom Yam) soup also vegan which, put as simply as I can, although humble it was a precise concoction of flavours executed to a magical perfection. Really tasty. For our mains we had the massaman curry with no worry, chicken for me and the lady had tofu (which came deep fried). Made in accordance to the chefs regional Thai cooking style, it had no potatoes but embraced a peanutty flavour with a freshness that was bold and despite eating lots, left us wanting more. Truly a fantastic spot, which shall be a culinary highlight of our holiday to Cornwall, we will always be salivating in memory of Thai Orchid. Thank you to the entire restaurant team."
