Mike our waiter was lovely, very efficient and the food was absolutely perfect at a great price! It was very nice to just go out for breakfast and it hit the spot!

Authentic, absolutely delicious and wish I could eat here every day. We've visited so many times and its consistently wonderful. The food speaks for itself and the staff are the ? on top. Just wish my belly was big enough to try everything at once

So brilliant. Incredible food and brilliant service. Cannot believe I haven’t been before. So many vegan options. Will definitely be going again.

We went to the vegan gluten free banquet last week and once again, did not disappoint. This place is one of our favourites. The staff really know what they're doing, know all the dishes and are really personable and friendly; The restaurant is small with a lovely feel; But I have left the best til last... the food is out of this world and with every mouthful we're oohing and arhing. I can't rate them highly enough and strongly recommend this place!!

This was absolutely the best Thai food I have ever eaten and definitely one of the top restaurants I have been to. The food is fantastic….the Thai chef creates dishes that are on another level. Her enthusiasm for what she does is beyond anything you could imagine. We recently visited for a birthday and had the best evening. Trying different dishes was a delight. Limes is a must……put it on your restaurant list !

If you’re as serious about good food as I am, you want to eat at a place where the kitchen staff are knowledgeable about what they’re doing, of course. But more important, you want a restaurant where everyone, chefs and servers alike, cares deeply about the food they serve, and displays a real dedication to getting things right. Yesterday a colleague and I had lunch at a small restaurant called Limes in the high street at Lindfield, not far from Haywards Heath in East Sussex. Bit out of the way, but don’t let that deter you. Limes is the purest embodiment of the advice the Michelin Guide reserves for the very best: vaut le voyage. Well worth the trip. The chef, herself a native of Thailand, prepares everything from scratch, on the premises. No bottled sauces or tinned ingredients. No matter what we ordered, each dish was the fullest possible expression of itself. I have never eaten a better meal at any price in London, or New York, or Paris. And the prices at Limes can only be described as modest. We had a feast of a meal, with several glasses of wine, for a mere £59. The experience was so extraordinary, I had to restrain myself from leaving a tip of equal size. Highly recommended, do go.

Absolutely delicious food. We went for my husband's birthday and it was one of the best meals we had lately. Plenty of vegan options. Good service and nice chill atmosphere. Definitely recommend it.

Ordered a take away direct from the website, expected a fantastic Thai curry but was massively disappointed. All I received was an email over an hour after ordering advising they had cancelled the order. This is despite confirmation of the order when placed. Phoned the restaurant and was basically told that the way it is, we have customers in the restaurant and you don’t matter! My advice is, don’t order takeaways from here as they don’t value your custom.
Great food choice and very helpful efficient staff. Quality but not excessively expensive. The amuse-bouche was a nice touch. Some dishes are hot so take care ordering?

Delicious food. Very helpful staff. We had a two year old with us and had no problems. My massaman was very tasty and the chicken was very tender.

We set out for an 11 course tasting menu on the Thai feast night. It started off very well with (albeit with VERY small servings of wine on the meal “flight”) but the appetisers and starters seemed nice. Really hated the mackerel with noodles dish - so overbearingly salty and fishy, it wasn’t nice to eat at all. Then came the mains and they were so underwhelming - duck salad with two shavings of duck per person, the salad part the very same as had been served earlier in the evening. Chicken wings (yes, they were plump and juicy but tasted just a bit garlicky, nothing special) and then how they could call this curry is beyond me… it was a broth with a few floating cabbage leaves. We already had a lovely hot and sour soup in the starter dishes… so to take something tempered down as dish water colour-wise with a few insipid vegetables floating around… it was hardly a main course. As a group of four we said the experience was average and given the question, would we return? The answer was no. Then we asked for the bill, only to see they’d whacked on a hefty 12.5% service charge. We’d already figured £55 per head was expensive-ish for the night but that little sting in the tail we thought really took the P. The service was fine but we would have left a generous tip had it not been for the invoicing of it on the bill. And nor did it say discretionary. Bottom line, let the diners judge you accordingly. A £30 tip for many so-so courses wasn’t appropriate or justifiable.

Our first time here and we'll definitely come back! Amazing food and a really friendly atmosphere. I'd like to try lunch next time.

Warm and friendly arrival. Made to feel special. Knowledgable about the menu items and guided us in selecting some lunch options. The food was excellent, ingredients fresh, and the portion sizes were great. A really lovely atmosphere. “You get what you pay for”. Will definitely be back! Thank you Stefan for looking after us.
