"Reviews seemed to suggest that the restaurant can veganize most dishes. However, on checking, my partner and I were informed that only the Thai yellow curry and pad thai were truly vegan. All other sauces/fries contained shrimp paste and/or oyster sauce. The head-staff then informed us that she could make most dishes vegan by removing the shrimp paste and when we chose one such dish, she told us it would taste bland as by being vegan, we had lost out on the Thai flavours. This was quite an unsettling statement for us and left us feeling alienated and upset. Having had truckloads of authentic Thai food outside and at home, it is no secret that seafood is absolutely unnecessary to emulate Thai flavours. Most asian restaurants, even in small towns, are shifting to plant based ingredients where possible to be inclusive. In such an atmosphere, this restaurant seems to be lagging far behind. We did eventually have the Veg Tempura with sweet chilli sauce and the Thai yellow curry with Jasmine rice. Both dishes tasted very good and the portion sizes were decent. However, the lack of inclusivity and their inability to make most dishes suitable to those who are plant based goes directly against what was advertised."

perhaps the best Thai restaurant where I was in Thailand. my children in the age of 9 11 years have been talking about it since, they loved thinner ribs and tears.

loved our padthai and escape with sweetness! portion could be a little small if they are really hungry. Otherwise, eating the personal and the ambiente are excellent.

I had yellow tofu curry and coconut rice and a vegan pad Thai. By far the best Thai meal I've ever had. Came to about £12 and was more than 2 of us could eat for one meal. Highly recommend this takeaway.

Takeaway or delivery restaurant in Buxton. Was excited to see lots of clearly labelled vegan options on menu but deflated to hear that they were out of tofu that day! This was only minutes after opening time too. Considering most of the vegan dishes had it at their heart this was disappointing. Had the green curry and sticky rice which was nice.

Website is a waste of time. Says they serve until 10pm, which is totally fictitious. Ring them at 9pm and they tell you kitchen is closed. A Saturday night too. Utterly ridiculous, so don't bother : Actually the whole of Buxton is a waste of time for eating at a reasonable time. Don't bother to look for food after 9pm as noone can be bothered to serve anyone after then. How embarrassing if you are a tourist in this country. Shame on all of you in a supposedly tourist town :

Didn't prebook but I'd recommend you do if you want to visit as every table was taken or about to be.. we arrived early on a Friday evening 6pm so grabbed a table before an 8pm booking. Large menu. We shared the Thai fish cakes and chicken Satay. Both were ok. We shared the grilled sirloin steak, chicken Pad Thai, jasmine rice, pork Pad Kra Pao and Lamb massaman. The pork dish didn't have enough chilli heat so I asked for fresh chilli which was quickly brought to the table. The lamb was quite dry as if it had been cooked separately from the sauce. Friendly service, nice food and we ate it all but I have to say it's Thai food tailored for English tastebuds as so many Thai restaurants do.

Unfortunately a strange and not too pleasant eating experience. We picked up a range of dishes as a takeaway, and the staff in both the restaurant and the takeaway shop were lovely. The food however was odd, and not very good. The good points; the sticky rice and coconut rice were good, the tofu was pretty nice. The issues; the ‘dry’ red Thai curry was a tupperware full of a thin watery liquid much thinner than coconut milk, the marinated mixed vegetable skewers were uncooked vegetables with no chargrilling and almost no visible marinade, the stir fried vegetable dish was also very watery with almost raw vegetables. For almost 40 this was really disappointing, so although the restaurant may...
