Ok, let me start by saying I’m not fussy or overly picky as a rule. And yes, I’ve eaten Thai food all over the world, including in Thailand. BUT I just spend nearly £30 on a starter, main and rice via Deliveroo and it wasn’t worth a third of that.
I picked this restaurant as it advertises gluten-free choices on its menu, which is fantastic and a big plus. I wanted delivery as a treat on my final night in Brighton.
The food did come within the allotted one-hour slot, but was really disappointing. The chicken satay was soggy and dull, and just three sticks for £6.50. The tamarind duck (ordered cos of rave reviews on here) was very meaty but somehow limp and unenjoyable - no crispy skin or fragrant juices. Maybe I should’ve got a curry.
The coconut rice seemed like a good idea, but in an attempt to eat it alone after I gave up on the meat dishes I was shocked to find it had TONNES of salt in, like as if there were huge salt crystals in each mouthful (and again, I’m not the sort of doofus who normally moans that takeaway food is too salty - this was something different).
So, overpriced, oversalty, unenjoyable. But a star for labelling the menu well and a star for... um... giving me an hour of thinking I was gonna have a lovely dinner while I waited for the delivery!
