Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Thai be Highly Recommended!! (I’ll get my coat…)

May 2021 • couples

Seriously one of the best Thai meals we’ve ever had. We chose the set dinner for 2 at under £20 a head, and had mixed starters, a chicken and a beef dish, stir fried veg and 2 portions of rice. The flavours were stunning and the portions very generous. We added some spare ribs, spicy crackers and a bottle of not overly expensive wine. We came out feeling very happy with life in general! The service was unobtrusive but very polite and efficient. The tables were well spaced apart and the atmosphere was cosy. We loved our couple of hours there. Super place.

Great for take away 😊 Phoned

Nov 2020 • none

Great for take away 😊 Phoned the order in from a local hotel, they immediately offered to deliver it to us there, not needed but a nice touch, order was taken over the phone and the pick up time given re how long the dishes would take. Arrived and the food appeared from the kitchen with a hand written itemised receipt, wonderful friendly staff. Food was really good, vegetable tempura, chicken satay and 2 different curries, would definitely recommend 👍

Somehow, tasteless….?

Aug 2021 • friends

My friend and I visited on Friday night and we were a little disappointed. Starters were good, crackers, prawn & chicken toast (which was hotter than the sun!) and chicken satay. For mains we opted for two noodle dishes to share which were very generous in size but a little tasteless. The pad Thai was a bit…meh I have had better and the spicy chicken noodles were fine. The Prosecco was good and the service was great, the whole meal cost £54 but I don’t think I’d likely return.

Great Thai food with cozy pub atmosphere

Jan 2020 • friends

We arranged to meet some friends in Salisbury and booked a table here, and what a good choice it was!!!! It had a lovely pub bar which we got a drink in whilst waiting for our friends. They had a good selection of real ales and wines. All the food was delicious, we all had different starters and main dishes and tried each others food. We have spent three weeks in Thailand and we felt it was good authentic Thai food. There was plenty of it and all four of thoroughly enjoyed. Staff were very lovely and we loved the mix of an old style English pub and a Thai Restaurant. If we are in Salisbury again, we would definately go back!

Look down takeaway

May 2020 • none

We live just 5 minutes walk from this lovely pub and so we were delighted to spot that they had been able to ‘open’ for take always whilst the lockdown continues. We had excellent service as usual from Simon and his staff and our order was ready and well packed for us; back home we were able to enjoy a delicious Thai meal, just as good as meals we have had in the past at the pub when things were ‘normal’. Thank you Rai D’or, see you next week for another order!

Picked up a takeaway

Nov 2020 • couples

Well...after my husband waited half an hour from the 18.15 pick up time, he finally arrived home( 5 mins max from city centre) our starters were cold and soggy...mixed h'or d'ourves. Followed by cold egg fried rice, slimey sweet n sour chicken and a very chewy duck noodle special dish. No satay sauce packed in for the starter. Extremely disappointed, definately not worth the money. Would never recommend or return. I'd have rather cooked myself but we thought we'd treat ourselves during lockdown. Shah Jhan Indian is way beyond this standard so our money and loyalty is better there. Sorry but a BIG massive fail. Going 2 bed hungry.

great place

Sept 2020 • none

Before Covid19, great Thai food freshly prepared with very good beer from specialist breweries. Now, Great Thai food. Nothing has changed except you pre-order then collect from side door. Same high standard, chef will adapt or change if necessary (Not too much chilli etc) and as food is still freshly cooked, can sill have a very good meal. Miss the ambience but hey! well done Rai d'Or

A wonderful surorise

Jan 2023 • none

We visited Salisbury for the first time this weekend and on a very cold Saturday night were looking for Thai food and good beer. The Rai d'Or does not look very impressive from the outside (an old boozer) and when we presented at the bar was fully booked. So we stopped for a beer to plan our next move. After about 5 minutes a very small table became available next to the bar and a log fire. We took it and had a truly excellent meal. The hosts were very friendly and we had an excellent early evening including providing us with a typed resume of the pub over the past 700 years. A wonderful and pleasant surprise.

Great food, as always

Jan 2021 • family

Had a home delivery last night. Sweet and sour chicken, vegetarian yellow curry, pad Thai and egg fried rice. We pre-ordered for 6.30pm. Our food arrived on time, piping hot and delicious! One of our favourite places to eat in or take out in Salisbury. The Rai D’Or never disappoints.

100% recommend

Mar 2024 • family

We went here because my sister in law loves Thai cuisine and it was recommended by more people. We really enjoyed the set meal because it was a variety of more dishes, the portions were quite generous and the aroma coming from the food was amazing! There was enough variety to please anyone, it was a good price and the dessert menu was also really nice, I will definitely come back and would recommend this to any friend or family.

Definitely worth a visit

Sept 2022 • couples

Excellent food. The restaurant was packed on the Saturday night we visited without a reservation, so lucky we got a table. Located in oldest pub in Salisbury, this restaurant serves a good, but not too wide, selection of meals. We had the Tiger Prawn Rolls as a starter, followed by a Duck Curry, Thick Fish Curry, and Special Hot Rice. All excellent however the fish was exceptional. Service efficient, bar prices as expected and wine by the glass. Nothing to fault. Happy to recommend

2nd Visit to this Fab little place

Feb 2020 • none

Went last year when we visited Salisbury for the night and enjoyed it so much we returned for this visit aswell. Lovely little restaurant/pub serving authentic Thai cuisine and some great beers. The owners and staff are welcoming and very attentive We weren’t disappointed on this occasion either, certainly just as good as before. Thoroughly recommended

Best place in Salisbury

Jun 2022 • friends

I have come here a LOT over the years. It's sort of a mix between a proper pub (with well kept local beers) and quality Thai food (I strongly recommend the thick fish curry but 'foodie' friends rave about the other dishes too). The staff are lovely and the atmosphere intimate and unique. Salisbury is lucky to have the place.

The best Thai meal I've ever had!

May 2023 • couples

Staying in Salisbury for a week. This Thai restaurant was recommended. I was a little unsure, as it appears to be a cross between a restaurant and a pub. The food was perfection, staff were all very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is friendly and informal. We both enjoyed our meals so much the first night that we booked again. I can honestly say that the soup and Beef Penang were the very best I've ever had. I would also recommend the ice cream - I had a scoop each of coconut and ginger and they were the perfect end to a perfect meal. I just wish we could take this restaurant home with us! Thoroughly recommended!
