If you find yourself in the English countryside but have had your fill of pubs this restaurant…read moremight make its way on to your list. The ambiance is tourist chic and the service, while generally good, is a little uneven (no big surprise for Britain). The food is reasonable although if you're familiar with Thai food you may find it a bit lacking. The Pad Thai is a bit dry and lacks the sharpness of flavours you'd expect (lime, coriander, peanut, etc.). The green curry is warm and nice but the use of courgettes is a little odd. All in all, not a bad place - just manage your expectations before heading in.

We were offered the menu cards. The waitress was unable to explain the dish types when asked specific question about the menu. I ordered Gaeng Ba Gai (Thai jungle chicken curry). It was good. I am basically from US and have tasted at various Thai places, the chicken always accompanied rice without extra cost. We were asked to order rice separately which is unusual for us which I found is a norm in UK. Overall, little crampy place with narrow entry stairs to dine in good place but good food. Our food was perfectly mellowed to the spice level we had requested. Not giving five stars due to coldness of the waitress and unable explain the menu of her own restaurant. Customer is a big deal for me, by and large !

Starters were poor…read more Mains were mediocre Because we were in a big group they decided to double charge us for starters. We paid the bill and went home. After looking through the receipt we noticed they charged us for six starters as opposed to 3, we were also charged for extra sides we didn't have. Went back to the restaurant the next day (I assume they didn't think we were staying in the lakes) and demanded a refund. Their excuse...? Well, they said they had another group that didn't pay - so, in simple words they decided to recoup their losses by sticking in our bill.

From the outside it looks basic but when you see the menu and get your food served it's far from basic! Amazing sized portions and just so authentic. We just made it through the starters before indulging into our mains. Little did I expect that my portion would be enough for 3 people instead of myself. Had to box it up and will gladly polish off tomorrow. Can't recommend this place more as it's off the main street, staff and service were so welcoming, serving was quick (albeit it was quiet) and the prices are so cheap! Total package

I'm so glad that this place has received good reviews across the board. Mine won't add much more:…read morethe exterior appearance does it few favours, the interior decor is on the way to feeling like someone's front room, but the food was great. With a couple of other people we went for one of the banquets to experience what they have to offer - I was very happy with everything. My companions felt that the starters were a little disappointing, or at least quite generic and at times lacking flavour. I thought they were great though, because I value variety over quality perhaps! We all liked the soups though, which were packed with chicken and other tasty bits. The we had a selection of mains, from prawns to beer and so on. Tender meat, interesting sauces and fresh ingredients: all fine by me.

Friendly and helpful service! More than one employee helped us, whether it was deciding on menu options or looking for sports cards. We did a couple kids meals with different rice options, a beer for the adults (the only draught), and Drunken Noodle and Pad See Ew. Full marks all around. Plenty of food, especially with the side noodles. The Drunken Noodle, my go to Thai dish, was very spicy for me. I like spice, but I'm sure some people handle it better. I was determined to finish my plate, but I was in sweaty tears by the end. Still delicious. We will probably visit this place for a meal every time we are in Newcastle.

It turned out to be not just the best meal of our vacation so far, but honestly some of the best Thai food I've had in a long time. The inside of the restaurant was nice and intimate and did not match the front exterior at all. Statues and nice decor all around. Once we were seated, we started with prawn crackers, spring rolls, and fried prawns, then moved on to our mains: pad prik beef, chicken pad Thai, and a vegetable red curry with sides of jasmine rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. I only wished they had those tiny Thai chilis in vinegar, but they did have chili oil, which was good. Service was excellent; seemed like the owner (?), chef, servers, and hosts all pitched in and helped each other, which was nice to see. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and the perfect way to wrap up our trip to Kendal.
