We had a takeaway and were very disappointed. Order was incorrect with missing item, although not charged. The lemon chicken, which was basically 4 chicken nuggets served with chips?? And a cold pot of dip, (£14.95). The rice was half a takeaway container full, still in the boil in the bag. Grilled prawns were 4 prawns on a base of wilted lettuce for £14. Overall, poor value for money and quality.

Outstanding food but lacking the Thai hospitality I am used to. The English server was very polite though.

Cozy and quite place with reasonable prices and wide range of menu options. Definitely will come back for another family lunch.

A charismatic little restaurant underground in the centre of town. Servers were really nice and attentive and prompt. Food was very tasty and nicely presented but I don't know, maybe anticlimactic, I was expecting more of a taste explosion.....maybe I ordered the wrong things and should return one day and order something else.

We are camping nearby and spotted this as we were driving past yesterday. We love our Thai food and just had to try it. Ordered takeaway for collection this evening and oh MY! This is hands down the best Thai food we’ve had outside of Thailand! The Pad Thai and Penang curry were so authentic. We are already planning our next day trip to Ashbourne just so we can eat in the restaurant. The decor and music was so on point we can’t wait to visit again! You MUST try this place, the food is amazing.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu was really helpful and wide range of options - so many Thai places don’t offer this or just chicken and rice ?

What a gem, hidden away in a basement. My daughter and I visited last time we went to Ashbourne charity shop bargsin shopping. The staff are lovely, the food is beautifully presented and great value for money. Perhaps if it were more visible on the main street it would get more business.Dietary restrictions: With Thai food, there are not usually dietary restrictions, as their diets are not wheat and dairy dependant like the West. So, order away, and enjoy. Good portions too

What a lucky find, it is very visible if you walk on the streets but luckly we saw it. The food was A-mazing, atmosphere was very relaxed but could be romantic as well. Staff looked a bit overwhelmed but they managed to bring quality nevertheless. Top spot to visit.Vegetarian options: they have vegetarian and gluten free option as well
I have visited this restaurant many times. The food was excellent as always. On this occasion, I was a little disappointed with the service. I had pre booked a table for 4. When we were shown to the table, it was only set up for 3. We had to ask for the extra cutlery, etc. When we came to pay the bill, it was delivered to the table with only 3 chocolates, yet they had been serving 4 of us for over 2 and a half hours!!! However, I will still go back as the food made up for the lack of attention to detail on service.

Phoned up in advance to book a meal for collection for 9 people. The team got the order spot on with nothing missing. The food was delicious and portions were great. Will definitely visit again next time we are in Ashbourne.

Arrived for the early bird menu on Sunday. Very competitive pricing, starters were served 5 minutes after ordering and main was served within 5 minutes of our starter plates being taken away. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would have been nice during our main course for someone to ask us if everything was OK with the food or if we needed anything but apart from this everything was excellent.Would highly recommend.

Mixed review of our starters - mine was lovely (soup) but my wife’s fish cakes were very disappointing…she felt that they had probably been reheated? Both main courses were good, without being up to the standard of our usual Thai restaurant Service was bordering on disinterested and the restaurant was cold when we arrived..

Wonderful Thai dinner last night at the Thai Basement with friends. Have been lots of times over the past 10 years and now getting round to writing a review.Between the 4 of us we had a number of different dishes and the mixed starters, we was all very happy with what we were served. The staff were lovely and friendly and the service was prompt.The dining room is rustic but for me that’s part of the charm. Also being in a cellar is not for everyone. But again this is part of the charm.Only criticism would be that the owner lady could try and smile a bit and should avoid telling the staff off I’m front of guests.Still giving this place 5 stars as the food and service is consistently good in what is a unique setting.Recommended authentic Thai restaurant.
