Tank123 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We went to Baan Thai on a leaving do for a Thai student at the University. I don't know what she said, but the food was completely different to anything I have had there before or since. I suspect that they can make 'authentic' food but have found that there is only a small market for it. I think you are right I have been Baan Thai before where the food was out of this world haven't had it like that since! There are no authentic Indian restaurants try London and Leicseter and you start seeing what real indian food is. It is mainly vegetarian. The South Indian dishes are all okay , none of the south Indian restaurants are great either , spices are expensive and to make authentic food you need yo put in the right amount of spices and I think that is where restaurants go wrong when producing authentic tasting food. To get authentic tasting food you have to use the right ingredients restaurants scrimp and save! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lahori Dhera on the Wicker does some pretty authentic 'north indian' stuff - try the Karela (bitter gourd) dishes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemson Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 We went to Top Thai yesterday for a family meal and it was really good. Everyone was happy with the food and they treated us really well. Surprised how quiet it was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungleboy69 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 We went to Top Thai last night. We were the only people in too. Really surprising given the quality of the food. The service was very good as usual and the staff are very friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungleboy69 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thai Orchid- Very good value for money. I think Orchid is the worst Thai restaurant in Sheffield... The food is quite bland and doesn't taste fresh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeddo Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Shouldn't be telling you this - it's hard enough getting a table as it is, but my favourite Thai restaurant in Sheffield is ALL SIAM on Ecclesall Road near the bus stop at Hunters Bar. NOTE: There are two Thai restaurants very near to each other. It is NOT the one near The Well church, Patoo something. That one has very limited choice ( Patoo thing) and quality is no better than a poor Chinese takeaway. Shocking service too, they don't understand English. Place is always empty, and very dark inside. Don't believe the Awards boasted outside. All Siam is further along nearer to Hunters Bar. Massive choice, all fantastic. You can't get a table on Saturday unless you book in advance. Booking is best during week too. Gorgeous wait staff, efficient and trad Thai behaviour. Super fresh dishes, swiftly cooked and highly decorated with carved veg on Thai patterned plates, massive enough not to skimp on actual food. Batter always thin and crispy. Superb ice cream afterward - Real pistachio, real chocolate, probably sourced from some specialist local dairy. Rich and creamy. 12 people plus tables no problem.. Recommend: Sea bass in tamarind and chillie sauce Chicken in sweet and sour sauce incl lychees All Thai curries are rich and creamy King prawns and vegetables in a sauce with ginko nuts and cashew nuts Massaman curry Could go on...
