the only reason why overall rating is 3 stars is because i’ve been to other thai restaurants in cambridge and i prefer them compared to this one. there’s something lacking into this place but i just couldn’t figure it out what’s that. The good thing is they do offer student and nhs discounts. i’ve been here way back 2018 and in seems it was better back then. (photos are included from 2018 with my girlfriends)

We came across this Thai restaurant while walking along the river in Cambridge, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The decor was warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for our meal. A big thank you to the team for taking such great care of our dietary requirements—one of our friends has restrictions that exclude onion, garlic, aubergine, mushrooms, fish, meat, and eggs, yet they were accommodated with an excellent Pad Thai that was both flavourful and satisfying. The rest of the dishes were equally impressive, with the Red and Green Curries paired with Jasmine Rice being particular highlights. Overall, a fantastic experience that combined thoughtful service with truly delicious food.
