"I recently moved from Stanstead Abbotts, a beautiful little village in the valley of the river Lea. At the end of the high street is this quaint little Thai restaurant that I used to walk by and always said to myself Before I leave this village, I will book a table and have a meal So said so done. On the afternoon of my move, I asked if they had a table available (on the spot) which they did not hesitate to give me. The restaurant has 2 sections, the front is the largest. I was given a table at the back, as I 'm assuming the other tables were reserved. The menu is vast, bright and colourful, with a touch of personal personality and the price points were within my budget, plus I was giving myself a treat. I ordered 4 dishes: 1. Pad Thai chicken Ginger dish, which I thought came with noodles, but didn 't 2. Crispy sweet and sour beef 3. Thai Green curry 4. Coconut rice This was accompanied by a medium size glass of Lemonade with a slice of Lemon for garnish. The Presentation was nicely served on white plates which made the colours of the food stand out. I had two waitresses, MiMi looked after me the most and frequently asked if all was well as I ate. I was quite hungry, so she said no rush. The decore in the back of the restaurant was embellished with potted plants, hanging from the ceiling with, faux red leather benched seating and whitewashed brick walls. Where I sat (at the back) felt slightly cut off from the main hub of the restaurant, which did affect my overall experience, albeit I was grateful to be given a table, at such short notice, so I reframed that circumstance. I could hear chatter in the busy kitchen, as takeaway orders, were going out, as well as seated reservations. BACK TO THE FOOD: All dishes were served hot and well presented. My Thai curry was in a bowl, that almost tipped over, not sure if that was my haste or the design of the bowl. This tasted exquisite. The flavours bounced around my pallet and the chicken was so succulent and morrish with a touch of heat! As I stated earlier, from the illustration on the menu I ordered Pad Thai, which I assumed was a noodle dish, yet when it arrived it was just chicken and ginger in a sauce. There must have been a miscommunication when I was making my order...Never mind, I had enough in front of me and wondered if my eyes were too big for my belly ! The crispy beef was OK, a little chewy! and the coconut rice was a delight. All in all, I was full and the meal satisfied my hunger. In reflection, if I was to order all over again, I would have ordered x2 THAI GREEN CURRY and I would have been happy, The bill was brought to my table promptly, after I asked for it in a nice golden ornate-looking bowl, accompanied by two pearl mints (nice touch) Now for the hard part.. The Bill I was pleasantly surprised to pay £38.35, that afternoon, excluding a service charge (not sure if that was because I was eating alone or what) If I were to give my whole experience of dining at Khunnai Thai Cuisine a mark out of Ten, I would grade it 7/10. Room for improvement: The decore in the back part of the restaurant, maybe some soft Thai music, Change the colour of the deep red Faux leather seating to something more tropical looking, Maybe an extension for outside dining, at the back (during summer) and a little less NaCl. Comments are given all in goodwill. Thank you for a tasty meal. I would definitely eat at Kuhnnai Thai Cuisine and bring my friends or family along...Next time I will book a table for the front of the restaurant, which appeared to be a more open-plan layout with a buzzing atmosphere."

"I wasn't sure quite what to expect when I went along to The Millstream. The first time I went, it had been a choice between plain salad or chips. However, I had heard that they were celebrating World Vegan Day- which in itself is a positive- so decided to go and check out the vegan menu for myself. The waitress was warm and welcoming, talking to me in depth about all allergens within the vegan menu- since I'm allergic to both gluten and soy as well- and was able to assure me that the entire menu is made from scratch by the chef, to give it a home cooked feel. The manager herself came to speak with me and we ended up conversing for a long time. She told me that if I called in advance, the chef would be more than happy to prepare me something not on the menu- such as a vegan cheese burger. She took pride in the fact that everything is made from scratch, and that they now provide vegan cheese which is selling well. The meal itself exceeded all possible expectations. I had a chickpea curry with rice, and a side of vegetable dahl. It was mild- but with a small and pleasant kick-, warming and filling. The seasoning was balanced and perfect, and it was a rare occasion in which I didn't need to add salt or pepper. All in all, I'd give the meal 10/10 and would recommend anyone and everyone to go along."

"We held a surprise 40th Wedding Anniversary celebration at Maltons on Saturday for our parents... the evening was perfect, and better than we could have hoped for! My sister and I were particular about how we wanted the space to look as there were lots of personal touches we wanted to make. Ali was very welcoming in letting us do whatever we wanted to, he was there whenever we needed him and nothing was too much effort. Everyone commented on how lovely the food was. We had 30 guests having 3 course meals, and every sitting came out quickly and all together, the food was hot and presented beautifully. The staff were all extremely friendly and again, nothing was too much effort for them. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening at this venue. It was a beautiful surprise for our wonderful parents and the aim was to remind then of how loved and appreciated they are. Maltons certainly helped to make that happen! We will be sure to go back again soon, and would highly recommend making a visit you won't be disappointed. Thanks again to Ali and the team, we greatly appreciate it xx Price per person: £40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"I reserved a table for two on a Friday night for an early dinner. The restaurant was quite busy as the evening went on, making it very loud. We started with the bruschetta, which was not very impressive. My partner had the seafood ravioli, but it lacked sauce and was difficult to eat. I opted for the ham and cheese dish, which was also a bit dry. Overall, it was a mixed experience; I enjoyed the heavenly cake for dessert, which was good. My partner tried the Turkish dessert, a pastry drenched in hot syrup, which was tasty and very sweet. The menu had a decent range of options, but we’ve had better experiences at other Mediterranean restaurants."

"Great fish and chips with an extensive gluten free menu. The gluten free batter was better than most chip shop's regular batter which meant I could happily share with my gluten intolerant partner. The Samphire, Mushy peas and tartare sauce were top notch also. The staff were friendly and welcoming too, I would definitely go back and recommend Dietary restrictions: Gluten intolerance Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fish Chips"
