Oh I am so disappointed to have to write this update. After the last time we went, we thought we'd try it again. We walked in early on a Friday evening (7.15pm) and got a table (with the proviso that we could only have it for 2 hours, which was fine). We sat down and were immediately asked what we wanted - we actually needed a few minutes to settle and think, but we ordered diet coke to buy ourselves some time. We ordered some food and waited - it took quite a long time, so we ordered some prawn crackers. They arrived instantly, I mean the waitress turned round, grabbed them and put them back on our table. We were chatting away, so I dunked one in the sauce and ate it without really paying attention. The sauce tasted really odd, so I asked what it was. "Chicken and peanut" was the answer. Seeing as we had ordered vegetarian dishes, I thought that was quite a risk - also no warning about the peanut sauce? Since thai prawn crackers usually come with chilli sauce, I was slightly bemused - I assume it was someone else's mistaken order since it was ready instantly and cold. Anyway, we moved on to our main course. My sister ate some of her steamed rice and pulled a long black hair out of her mouth. It was not ours... then lifted a spoonful of the vegetarian red curry up to see another hair dangling from the spoonful. I called the manager over and explained that I would pay for the diet coke and the prawn crackers, but that we were leaving now and not paying for the main course. She agreed that our experience was unacceptable and didn't charge us for anything. We left and went next door to Joanna's, which was absolutely wonderful. We will never be going back there. read more

Wow, very mixed reviews for this place! We came in for a very early dinner and shared a bunch of dishes. Fish cakes and chicken wings were tasty. The green curry with shrimp was creamy and had a nice kick. The pad thai was also good. The only slightly odd dish was the duck. The duck breast slices were battered and deep fried and then stir fried with onions and peppers. I liked the peppercorns but the duck was of varying consistency - some were tender, others were dry and leathery, like beef jerky. It wasn't bad by any means as I quite liked both but I'm not sure what the 'normal' preparation is supposed to be like. The service was polite and attentive. Nothing bad to say about Tamnag. We had a good experience! read more

This is a beautiful restaurant. Bright, airy, clean and big. However, it suffers from poor service and average food. 6pm on a Saturday and the restaurant is deserted. The Mrs and I go in and we have to wait 10 mins at the door for the host to find a floor manager, to find another floor manager to see if we can have a table. We then get told we can have a table *ohthankyouverymuch* provided we vacate it in 2 hours and 45 mins. I doubt I've ever spent 3 hours in a restaurant just for a main. After eventually being seated, we can see a flurry of staff milling around. By the time we were approached we knew what we wanted, but they just took our drink orders. A small glass or red and an ice tea for the missus. After another tables drinks being served before ours, I get my red wine and they take our order. It takes 20 more mins and the one starter we ordered to come out before the Mrs gets her ice tea. - Apparently it was lovely. We share the spicy fish cakes. They were nice. Very lemony and a bit chewy but overall a OK from us. Before we get our mains there's a lot of faffing with tea lights and plate warmers and more cutlery. We play it safe and order a Tofu Pad Thai and Prawn Red Curry and Jasmine rice. The food came out and we were utterly underwhelmed. Bland. The portion sizes were perfect, but the food was just so uninspiring. I've paid half the price for tastier food. My tofu was so small and overcooked. The Mrs Rice like boil in a bag. This is the sort of restaurant where they have elaborate cutlery, place your napkin on your lap and serve everything in an elaborate manner. But it lacks substance and good service. By the time we left, the restaurant was not much busier. I can see why they warned us about the 2 hours 45 mins we had to vacate the table by because the entire process was unnecessarily slow. With so many staff we wonder why things took so long and was so lacklustre. I was glad service charge was not included on the bill, because in all honestly I wouldn't have paid it. It's really disappointing because the Tamnag Thai really gives off the air of fine Thai dining. The price did not reflect the quality of the food or ingredients and I doubt I'll be rushing back there when there are lots of alternatives in the area - albeit not as pretty. read more

I have known this resturant for a very long time. I remember it way back when the food was really good, I remember when it took a dip in both the quality of the food and the quality of the service. Since I have been a couple of times in recent times I felt the time was right to review. You are now able to book online via their website, they will call you to confirm the booking which I find lots of the top quality restaurants do, so perhaps they have aspirations to become a top resturant. I had the prawn toast for starters which was of a very good portion size, however I felt it was a bit to oily/grease compared to some prawn toast I have had from other thai restaurants. My main was, once again, of good portion size and definitely better than my starter. I would recommend the volcano chicken if you have never had it, just watch out for the fire show before it is served!! The surprise of the evening was that they now have a better selection of deserts which you don't usually get from thai restaurants. All in all service was ok it wasn't too loud so you cold hold a conversation. It seems that this restaurant is on its way back up but still has a way to go. read more

By the fact that it's the cuisine of my own nation, I would say this is very close to the authenticity, shame they don't have Thai desserts to offer. The service could be slow sometimes but things are good in general. I would think of this restaurant as the best one in my postcode! read more

We went here as a group of four on a Tuesday night. We made a reservation and it was good that we did as it was quite busy there. I love the decor of this restaurant, lots of Thai umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and nice dark wood furniture. The lighting is low without being too dark which gives a nice intimate atmosphere. The food here is very reasonably priced and flavour wise is pretty good. I had the mixed appetiser and the pineapple fried rice and they were both really nice. The portions are pretty big here too so come hungry! My friends all really enjoyed their food as well and we will definitely be back! read more

Very nice place to eat, can be very busy at times abit like bangkok but it adds to the atmosphere, very traditional design and staff, adds a real feal of thialand. very nice food and lots to choose from, the service is good and quick enough. the only bad point is its abit small but its not worth skipping for that point! read more

In the last few years I have come to realise that Thai is one of my favourite cuisines. Chief among my reasons is the fact that I like my food with some spice and in some cases the spicier the better. I have tried many Thai restaurants and Tamnag Thai is way up on my list. After visiting Thailand in 2010 I am convinced this has been one of my most authentic as I can now compare dishes from Thailand to what is served elsewhere. It offers amazing Green Papaya salad (which I love) with the right amount of spice and a wide selection of Thai dishes and you can have it as spicy as I do or tone it down to suit your taste buds. I took my mom there for her 70th b-day dinner and she is now a fan as well. My best friend who arrives in London in a few days will also sample its delights. It is also a 10 min walk from where I live so eat in or take away I am Thai there. read more

Good place to eat. Service was a little slow and abrupt but the food was delicious - although avoid the mango salad starter as it's pretty much a main course all of it's own! read more

Great to have such a great thai so close to home. The service is usually excellent, but on my last visit was very slow (nearly 20 mins before they even took a drinks order!). The food was worth the wait however. Really nice sized portions and reasonably priced too. Loved all the traditional umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. read more

Love this place. Been there a number of times over the years and the food has always been really very good and excellent quality. Decent cocktails too. Been with the wife, couples and in a large group and always had a good time Actually saying that I've not been in around a year but going on Friday with the wife... read more

Good Thai food, terrible service. Waited 40 minutes for my starter, then another 40 for my main on a Saturday afternoon with only about three other tables in the whole restaurant! The waitress made an error on our bill; when we queried it, we got nothing but attitude from both the waitress and the manager. Hideous customer service, go elsewhere if you mean to eat in a timely manner (especially if they're remotely busy!) read more

I love this beautiful Thai restaurant for the authentic food and atmosphere several visits with my companion/work friend have always been very pleasant indeed not least for the attentive customer service, traditional food and exceptional decor. I highly recommend Tamnag Thai and feel quite fortunate to have this in my locality as it is a great choice to take your loved one or family/friends for a real Thai dining experience. My personal favourites include the seafood medley, sweet and sour chicken, Thai green chicken curry along with one of the great cocktails i.e. Blue Hawaii. Don't miss the beautiful colourful parasols hanging overhead along with the authentic wood carvings dotted around the restaurant and look out for the friendly barman. read more

We went here for a rare Saturday night out and it was a really great evening. The food was really good and reasonably priced. It was busy but the waiting staff were attentive and helpful. We shared a platter for starters which came with some really good dips and our main courses were equally as delicious. I'd highly recommend for a night out. For parties of more than two on a Friday or Saturday I'd definitely recommend booking in advance. read more

Went here last month for my fathers birthday. It was my fist time here trying tie food and i had a very pleasant experience. The flavors were rich and the tie beer was great, although I cant remember the name of which one i had! read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times over a few years & always found the food to be amazing & tasty. But my latest visit which was on a Saturday at 6pm was very disappointing. I never order curry at Chinese or Thai restaurants but never having had a bad meal here I thought why not so my friend & I ordered the mixed shared starter & for my main I ordered the jungle beef curry with jasmine rice. Ordered a bottle of rosé, the starter came No wine, then after nearly finishing our starter the waitress stated the rose is not cold would you like to order something else bizarre reason not have our choice, but we chose a white, which came in an cooler, so not sure why the rose couldn't have been placed in an ice filled cooler??? The starter was VERY greasy & luke warm, that helped my decision to not order my usual wok fried noodles with a fish dish. Anyway the jungle curry of choice was also lacking in heat, some of the beef was very chewy, one piece so much so I had remove it from my mouth after a long attempt to chew, not very lady like or good manners, but thankfully my friend knew I would not have done so otherwise! Disappointedyes.would I returnno. I think this place has had it's best times, I have had great meals in the past, and this was soo far off the mark. Seemed like eating in a totally different establishment. I hate giving poor ratings but it is what it is. read more

This has been my favourite Thai restaurant outside of Thailand and consider it to be better than The Blue Elephant.

What a positive find. Bank Holiday early evening, the place half full already. Calm atmosphere, speedy service, brilliant food, portion size good, price acceptably middle of the road. Shame that not all staff are wearing authentic clothing - it would have made five stars. read more
