In summary excellent food and great service in a well decorated setting. We had a really good feast for two of us, with all the food brought to us at the same time. Staff were all very friendly.Our order:- POA PIAH PED (Deep fried shredded spring roll) (starter)Very tasty and crispy. The duck & vegetables were cooked really well and good amounts of both. Complimented by a great dip.- GAENG DANG (Red Thai Curry, Chicken)First time I've had a bit of spice to a RTC which was a welcome change. This didn't detract from the rest of the flavours, you could taste the coconut and spices. I will be adding spice to my own RTCs.- WEEPING TIGER (sirloin steak)We had ours medium rare and it came out beautifully. Lovely seasoning and melt in the mouth texture! The sauce that came with it was really nice.PLA SAM ROD (battered sea bass)A new favourite for me, lovely white flakey fish in a nice batter, accompanied with some good toppings & flavours.2x Sticky Rice2x Singha beersEvery dish was well presented.Some small negatives, no papaya salad options were available and while the tables are very well decorated, I found it difficult to place my legs comfortably on the small two person table and was sitting a little awkwardly throughout.Otherwise we'll definitely be back when we're in Rugby again or near by, this is so far my favourite Thai experience.

Excellent food, great service. Lovely Thai decor with lots of traditional wood carvingsSea bass was fantastic. Cashew chicken really good too just missing a bit of sauce.We look forward to returning.

My wife and I go to Rama quite regularly in the week and have great experiences. However, we went a couple of Saturdays ago with a party of 8. Food was great as normal but the service was poor. We waited hours for our food and only had two rounds of drinks as no one offered us any more. We did not even get a chocolate/mint with the bill. I understand that sometimes staffing issues arise, but would it would be nice to acknowledge this and offer an apology.

Fantastic place. Tables are placed nicely, so you're not sitting too close to other diners. Food is exceptional! All the staff are wonderful & the place was immaculate. Thoroughly enjoyable night was had by

Although passing by many times, this was our first visit to Rama, and although a little expensive, we really enjoyed our visit.Inside, the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and ascetically is very pleasing, with lots of wood carvings making this feel quite authentic. Rama Thai is a good size too, not too big where it feels too quiet but with ample space between tables so you don't feel cramped. We went on a Friday night as a 4 and although we didn't need a reservation, there were numerous other guests which was nice. The service was lovely; charming servers and the food came out rather quickly.To start I had 'Rama Cake', deep fried chicken & prawns in breadcrumbs. The texture was a little rubbery inside but you could distantly taste each of the chicken & prawn which was very nice. You get 3 of these cakes but they are quite small, I did eat the garnish too but I'm not sure if that was meant for decoration...The main was very good, I had 'Nua Pad Prik Tai Dam' which is sirloin steak pieces with onions, peppers, mushrooms, carrots and spring onions in a black pepper sauce served on a sizzling dish. The steak was really good, excellent quality and was still pink in the middle. The black pepper sauce was quite salty but this is how I like it and the mushrooms were the standout from the veg.We also shared a 'Kao Neaw' (sticky rice) & 'Chips' between 2; this was honestly the stickiest rice I've ever had and went really well with my main. The chips were crispy & fresh but the portion was very small, definitely would not get them to share next time.Although portion sizes for the starters and sides were not quite filling enough for the price, the food on the whole was very good. With a great menu, lovely decor and friendly service (also a fantastic Mojito), we would happily return to Rama7.5/10Visited Friday 26th January 2024

First time at Rama, and we opted for the lunch time menu but were left a little disappointed with the portion sizes. We thought that ordering two Meze set meals would be a good choice and a starter for us to share but we were left feeling rather hungry. The place itself is very authentic and the staff were friendly and attentive. We could not fault the food it was just the portion sizes that we felt let it down.

Employees are outstanding, really kind and accommodating. The waiter man (whose name I regrettably don't know) made sure we had everything we needed, so much so that we wanted to come again . I definitely will return with my family. Thanks for the quality service

Waited 20 minutes for starters to arrive, 45 minutes have passed after we finished the starters and still no main. Cancelled the order and was still charged half of our meal. NEVER AGAIN! Funny how the table behind us full of Thai people was served right away despite arriving an hour after us.
Have been coming to this restaurant on and off for years but OMG how good is the food now, every single dish was absolutely delicious, can’t fault anything and to the person who recently put a review on saying it’s dated needs to get a grip as from a couple that go to Thailand every year we love it in here as it is how Thailand is/was with all the wooden carvings etc and would be so sad to see it change but more importantly the food is spot on and will be back very soon ?

Authentic, delicious & fresh Thai food, beautiful interior, with friendly & helpful staff. When walking in, feels like I’m back in Thailand with the stunning decor & relaxing background music. Would visit again! ❤️ We had the Rama special Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, chicken Massamam curry, & seafood salad Yum Talay.
