I was totally blow away by their special steamed Sea Bassdish, it tasted exactly like my father in-law's home cooking! The appetizer sampler is the way to go if you are not sure what to order, or just want food with drinks. The portion is enough to feel satisfied for two person that's not too hungry. Be aware, all special dishes (more home cooking style) are on the sweeter side, so if you are one with savory preference, you may want to stay on the safe side with regular Thai curry dishes.

The decoration is basic (alot of it seems to be left from the Irish pub that was here before), and it is very much a no frills kind of place, but it is one of the most popular places to eat in Ricky for a reason. The curries are amazing, both the green and my personal favourite, the red. The green is alot spicier, so beware if you're wimpy like me. The chicken satay is amazing, in fact, all the starters are pretty good. I would recommend Tamarind Thai to anyone, as long as you don't care about decor too much.

Bear with me, this is definitely a review for Lemongrass, but I'm just setting the scene for you first... So, as I was saying, great food and service at Tamarind, but that makes for a very popular eatery, and if you're thinking of heading here without a reservation - forget it! So with that in mind, let's move on to Lemongrass, the beautiful but unloved sister of Tamarind. The Cinderella of Rickmansworth's Thais, if you will. We happened upon Lemongrass one disorganised Saturday. We'd called Tamarind to make a reservation, but too late. It was for this reason that we rather reluctantly went for what we imagined to be an inferior substitute - Lemongrass. When we arrived, my mother looked through the window and very nearly turned back. She thought it looked less cosy and friendly then Tamarind. But in we went, and do you know what...? Just as good, and in some ways even better! Food was just as cheap, just as delicious. Staff just as friendly, with great service. And on top of that, the decor is much nicer. That's actually what led the mama to think it wasn't as nice when she peeked through the glass. What I mean is that Tamarind is a fairly shabby little cafe, which somehow makes it seem more friendly. From outside, Lemongrass looked too nice to be cosy, but once we were in there, we realised the place was buzzing and the staff lovely. And you'll find yourself a table much more easily. Not sure why - as far as I can see, there's absolutely no reason why this place shouldn't be all booked up. It's a great little place! Just don't tell all the Tamarindites, in case they steal our table. I love you, Cinderella, and you look just beautiful in that glass slipper. xxx

For around £10.00 you can get a meal for 2 including rice and a starter. Depends on how greedy you are. The food is cooked fast and fresh, you can see the chefs in the back.

After waiting for 1 hour and 10 minutes for our food to arrive we had high expectations wrongly…read morethinking that Paya would have been beavering away cooking our food from scratch. How disappointed we were. My wife ordered Peppercorn Salt Tofu and I had it with chicken. Both were re-fried and dried out layered in almost raw onions and carrots. I had the Chicken in Black Bean Sauce which was tasteless and gloopy, like they had just thickened a watery sauce with cornflower. My wife's Szechuan Stir Fry Tofu was again tasteless and floating in almost raw vegetables as was her Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables. Now, I'm no Ken Hom but believe me I know how few ingredients go into making a takeaway Chow Mein Chicken. In my 60 years on this planet I had never had a bad Chow Mein until last night. Raw carrots, raw onions, tasteless and a pointless game of spot the chicken. My Pork Ribs in Sweet Peking Sauce were small, bite size lumps of gristle that resembled ribs in the same way a pebble resembles the white cliffs of Dover. In fact the only two edible items on our £70+ bill were the Crispy Vegetable Rolls and the Egg Fried Rice. In the past we've always received a bag of prawn crackers but not this time. We have been ordering from Paya for almost 10 years but will never do so again.

The comparative in the other local Chinese/Thai is £12. Quite some difference. I went with it though thinking that what they have to order must be yummy. I was wrong. The Singapore noodle had a spicy - as in hot temperature - taste to them, which only served as to try and mask the fact that they were decidedly lacking flavour and were really dry, it was an effort to eat through them, so I only managed half a tub. The sweet and sour chicken balls were not too bad actually. Although the chicken was a bit tough, at least you know it was cooked properly. The Pad Thai was a complete disaster. It was like no Pad Thai I have had before, or would ever want again. The boyff didn't like it, I didn't, even the dog left it. We got some chopsticks though :) For for nearly £20 on 3 items of not good at all food, this is a fail and I won't be using them again.
