I visited the restaurant early evening on a Wednesday (i was in Southend on business) so it was fairly quiet. First impression was that it is a very nicely decorated restaurant with lots of wood paneling and tasteful additions. I was greeted by a Thai lady dressed in traditional costume who could not have been more lovely. My food was... More

My brother and I first went to Tara Thai over a year ago having purchased a deal on groupon and we haven't looked back! Everytime we eat we have a brilliant meal. Lovely staff who are always welcoming and the food is the best Thai either of us have ever have and we love it! We have been back many... More

I went to this restaurant recently and would say that the food was very acceptable without being exceptional.The service was to a very good level and the ambience good. Bearing in mind how many restaurants there are in this area it is not so easy to find a good one but I will definitely go back to this one although... More

Spent yesterday evening at the Tara Thai and experienced beautiful food with some of the most attentive pleasant staff that we have ever found in a restaurant. Thank you Peggy for making the evening so special for my daughter and future son-in-law. The menu has a great choice. I am not a lover of hot spicy food like everyone else... More

Very friendly staff who will give you a culture/history lesson with every opportunity. The food was very good and the duck fillet was awesome!

The set lunch costs £7, 95 for a starter and main course, which are served together on the same plate.This is a great idea when... More

This must be one of the best & authentic Thai restaurants in the vicinity of Leigh. I've been to Thailand & the food at Tara Thai is on par. The owners have turned a once tired Shaba Thai restaurant from your usual Thai cuisines to offer something with more authenticity to it. New owners with new directions. The usuals are... More

I have been here a few times now and each and every time it's been by far the best Thai in the area! Amazing flavours and detail to all dishes! Michelle is an amazing chef, and Peggy and co great on front of house, the ambience is lovely and staff all dress authentic which adds to the flavour, considering the... More

Been here a few times now when in Southend and has been excellent every time. Lovely restaurant with attractive decor plus friendly and welcoming staff. The food is fresh and high quality all for a reasonable price. The coconut rice is some of the best I've ever tasted and there is an excellent selection of dishes on the menu, the... More
