Great food, well presented with fab taste. Please note they do shove a service charge on the Bill though even with a group of 4/5 ! I expect a service charge for a large group not for a family meal ! Food gread, service charge pants

It was our first time visiting naka thai since they moved to haven road , it is such an improvement from the previous restaurant. The food has always been amazing and the service very good . But the new location is walking distance for us so we can have a couple of cocktails with our meal without trying to get a taxi home . Will definitely visit again soon

Lovely interior and lovely waiter unfortunately everything had a rather sweet taste to it …my pork stir fry had no heat to it even though it showed two chillies on the menu. Weeping tiger steak was very underwhelming I made it at home and it was far superior!! Unfortunately not for us thought we try a different Thai restaurant from our usual one glad we did but they need to improve their dishes possibly far too large a menu to get every dish spot on!

We all had a brilliant experience at Naka Thai a few weeks ago. A large group of us (12) went for my father's birthday. They were nothing but accommodating, letting us have our table (large enough for our group and not crowded) all evening if we wanted. They also allowed us a small table outside the sit with for drinks whilst waiting for guests and again later in the evening with more drinks. They let us bring our own cake, even adding the candles for us and bringing it out when ready. And the service for such a large group was top notch, everyone had all the drinks they wanted when they wanted, food was out quickly and nothing was incorrect. The food itself was some of the best Thai food we had all ever had. Big hits at the table included the dragon wings and tom kha soup. We loved the variety in the menu with enough alcoholic free cocktails and vegetarian dishes to suit all different dietary requirements. Everyone enjoyed every bite of their dinner and plans are already being made for a repeat trip. One of the best things about Naka Thai is the décor. It is beautiful. Many Instagram worthy photos were taken and it truly felt like we were in a high class restaurant, making it easy to ignore the fact it is actually right by an industrial estate! Overall it was a perfect meal out and we will eagerly return again not just for the food but for the amazing service they provided.

Nice bright spacious setting with friendly staff and attentive service. Extensive menu with appealing options to suit all tastes. The ribs and eggplant entrees were delicious but the sealbass chu chi was beautifully presented and divine to taste. The green chicken curry was generous and flavoursome. Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.

Had a lovely meal here with friends. We had set meal B and the food was delicious. Lovely new venue , just in a strange off the beat location . However we got the bus from Colchester High St both ways , ( bus stop 3 min walk) . Would def go again
We've eaten at this lovely restaurant numerous times and had a couple of significant birthdays there too - it's always been top notch. Sadly, this time was very disappointing: the duck was full of fat and SKIN....we each had to leave about a third of it. This isn't what we expect from Naka Thai. The young waitress (we haven't met her before) didn't really seem to know what she was doing. They even added a service charge to the bill and there were only three of us! What a shame, we love this place normally. :(

Amazing!\\nThe lovely people at Naka Thai have done an outstanding job on decorating and setting the mood for an authentic experience. The service and food was absolutely on point. All six of us were more than pleased with our food and the girls Mojito cocktails were the best they have ever had.\\nA solid 5*\\nCan't wait to go back.
