Very disappointing - went here on a Saturday night. Was told they were very busy (had only just opened so were empty), but we could have a table if we were quick. We did.Themes of the food were that the portions were very small and hardly any meat in the curries. The starters were (no other way to describe this) a joke in terms of portion size. Thai milky ice tea was clearly just powder and water mixed with 2/3 a glass of ice cubes, no actual condensed milk - which should be the whole base of that drink. Basically paid for a glass of ice cubes and spoonful of powder in water. Service was disjointed. Asked 4 times by three staff during the mains alone if the meal was ok. No offer of a desert, had to ask for the menu as we were still hungry. It was lacklustre so we just paid and left - having first been shocked how much they charged for a rubbish meal. Wouldn’t return. Poor value for money and left hungry

Lovely food but very disjointed service, would give them the benefit of returning hoping we just visited on an off day.

This is one of the best Thai restaurants in the UK. I have travelled extensively across Thailand and the food at Battle Thai Orchid is so authentic, served so nicely is a superb taste. From the slow cooked lamb in the massaman curry to the tender beef in yam nuae it is all wonderful and freshly prepared. The take away delivery is also a joy with Tim always having a smile and chat even when all you want to do is unwrap his wife's beautiful cooking.

After regularly visiting Thai Orchard, my wife and I decided to book our wedding dinner there. Tim & his wife couldn't be better hosts. Not only was the food amazing as always, but the service and attention to detail was second to none. Can't thank them both and their team enough for making our special day run so smoothly! The whole family was extremely impressed.?

From the initial booking through to our exit everything was awesome. Great location, food gorgeous, staff just at the right level of attentiveness. We will be back!

Lovely restaurant, say in the eves of an old building, very nice food, good selection, would return.

If you want a horrific experience, this is the ideal venue. Take your kids for added discomfort.We were offered a Diet Coke on the house for the displeasure of waiting an hour between courses. Refused. Billed paid (in full).Absolute car crash. Never again.
The starters were very good, the meat on the rib just fell off. However, the wait was way too long. Over 40 minutes for starters.The main was also a long while, I was expecting more, the portion was quite small. I had pad Thai, it was OK, I would try something different if I had a chance.

Phenomenal food, served by an amazing team, in a wonderful setting, with superb ownership.Such pleasant people, I can't recommend this place enough.

Visited tonight. The food was absolutely great. We ate extremely well and the larger portions of rice and noodles were more than enough to share.The service at the restaurant was also beyond our expectations.I'd recommend a visit or two.
