    Went last night with my parents after paying it frequently finally thought we'd give it a go. Went…read morefor the fixed price menu for the of us £19.95 each. Mixed starters was great, then came the main course, thai green curry, beef and veg and a mixed veg side dish and rice. Plenty of rice, but to be honest the other dishes are what you'd get per person in any other restaurant, but these were between 4 of us, so we had to eat bearing in mind there was 3 others to eat also. Quite uncomfortable. We then had deserts (not included in price). My husband had a Ferrero ice cream, so when he found crunchy bits in it he thought it was nuts but no it was broken glass!!!! The edge of the bowl had been smashed. We immediately pointed this out to the staff who seen bewildered . My husband went to the restrooms to spit out the glass and rinse his mouth. They replaced the desert which he then enjoyed. We followed this with the included coffees which were also good. We were however extremely surprised when the bill came and we had been charged for everything. At a minimum I would have thought they'd have discounted my husband's desert and maybe as a gesture of goodwill maybe even his whole meal. But no. We had to convince them it was the right thing to do. But they said ohh it was an accident, but ok by you, but one of your customers ingested broken glass. We were made to feel like it was our fault that we'd done it on purpose. What for £6 of a £180 bill??? Shame but we won't be returning.

    Nice food, well spiced, though very small portions and quite expensive…read more The staff were friendly and helpful.

    What a great and authentic Thai restaurant. We did and recommend making reservations even mid…read moreweek. Staff is friendly, professional & the women are lovely. Food is superb. Service is great. Nice furnishings. Please do ask them to add spice if you love a more exciting version of certain dishes that would've been made milder for local palates.

    After spending a couple of days at Ashridge university, I wanted to explore Berkhamsted town and…read moregrab a hot lunch before catching the train back to London. I avoid chain restaurants when I can and this one had a good rating on yelp. It was a fixed lunch offer only (no a la carte) with one soup or starter and one main course served with rice. I ordered the sticky pork ribs as a starter - they were very well cooked and were almost falling off the bone, but the sauce on them was sickly sweet. My main course was a beef stir fry (I asked for a spicy option and the server recommended this) Again the meat was well cooked, but it was so salty! While main courses are normally served with rice, I requested if I could substitute the rice for noodles. The egg noodles that were served with the beef was very tasty (and they weren't even on the menu) The place was quite full in the noon and most people in there were locals. The staff was really sweet and obliging. However the food was a disappointment. I just ate the noodles and picked at the beef and pork. Even mixed with the noodles the sweetness was cloying and the saltiness overwhelming. Next time I think I'll just eat at Ashridge before leaving, the buffets there were amazing.
