After walking through the central shopping district, I was worried I might be forced to lunch at a…read morechain restaurant or at a chippy/falafal/discount burger joint with no character. So when I saw what looked to be a unique Thai place, I decided to roll the dice - even though there were no Yelp reviews. Thankfully the owners of Siam Cottage really want to provide a memorable experience. This is first evident in the decor... the furniture, statues, paintings ad other art leave no doubt you are (temporarily) in Thailand. The service is prompt and friendly, plus the food hits the spot. Is it insanely, authentic, spicy/pungent Thai like you might fine in Chiang Mai? No. But this is Chelmsford. I found it tasty and they serve chiles if you want to kick things up a notch. It's also a big place. If you live near, I'd consider throwing a party here. As mentioned, the staff are friendly and I thought it was funny that after finishing my entree, I was served a cute little mince pie as a holiday treat. I was also impressed that the restrooms were insanely clean. Back in a another life I used to manage hotels so I pay attention to side things cause they indicate how much effort the management makes. I didn't meet any Essex girls in Chelmsford, but definitely found a place I'd love to visit again.

The curries all taste distinctly different which I don't always find to be the case elsewhere. The stag are always helpful and polite. I had take away once and that wasn't as good.

Myself and partner collected a takeaway from here tonight, the duck wasn't fresh, the sauce that…read morecame with was extremely vinegary and the pad Thai and green curry was inedible, didn't taste like any Thai food I have ever tasted. When I took the food back and quietly explained my reasoning I was met with extreme rudeness from the owner/manager who basically told me to leave the food and to never come back, whilst huffily throwing the food I had returned back into the bag. I thought this behaviour was completely unwarranted and created an uncomfortable atmosphere for both myself and other diners when I was trying to keep the matter calm and quiet so as not to cause a scene and put others off their food. Wouldnt go back if you paid me, awful food, only outdone by the manager/owners awful behaviour. Avoid.
