"Really good service, I have to say. Prices also reasonable. But I’ve never had a chicken doner wrap at a place that has no pickles. The flavour was just imbalanced. I asked for pickles but they said they don’t have any at all. Not that they had run out, they just don’t serve them. Very strange. And this did impact my enjoyment of the meal."

"After eating in the sukohthai 30 times this year,I have cancelled my old 4 review to write a new 5 review. This is without doubt one of the best Thai restaurants that me and my partner have eaten in in England. The food is always to a very high standard whoever has been doing the cooking, the service always first class and it's always clean and friendly inside..top marks for a first class restaurant,I and my partner are always happy to eat in or order takeaway."

"Pre booked . On arrival the man behind the bar just pointed to a table when we walked in..didn’t even speak ! We ordered drinks while looking at the menu these seemed to take ages to arrive. The man behind the bar was talking on the phone taking orders not making the drinks that’s why they were taking so long to arrive ! We ordered our our food from a waiter who looked like he wished he was somewhere else, not serving us.. No customer service or social skills .. The food arrived as did the hot plates. The mixed grill was a tad burnt , but tasty. The food was all very nice. We felt like the place just lacked any atmosphere."

"Visit with friends. Arrived and the restaurant was very empty at that time of the evening. Shown to a table that had been allocated to us. Asked if we could move to another and I was initially given the impression that that might be difficult. Just to say again that the tables were allocated rather than reserved. Another customer was making a similar request and after some back and forth we could both move. Not the greatest of starts. This restaurant specialises in Punjabi cuisine. That is what attracted us in the first place when reviewing the menu online before we booked. Starters were of a generous size but rather stodgy. Perhaps more filling for a starter than you might expect particularly if you had ordered a main course and were intending to have a dessert. In contrast my wives dessert was very small for the price charged. The main courses were very spicy even though we requested mild. I appreciate that is a preference on our parts but my wife felt the same. We went with a friend who was visibly sweating. He comment on his main fish course was that under the spice it was a little bland. A lady I took to be the owner asked if we were enjoying our main couse? We commented on how spicy they were and asked for some yoghurt to cool them down. This was supplied with no issues and in fact my wife's prawns (only three found sadly) and my lamb main course were taken back to the kitchen to have I assume some of the chillies taken out or additional yoghurt added. This was done very politely and efficiently. Just to add we have absolutely no issues with regional food differences whether they may be. Perhaps our preference in this instance for less spice takes away from the experience the restaurant seeks to give. However requesting when ordering a mild version, and when asked what we preferred as well, makes the customer right. To drink. A beer for me and our friend. A cranberry juice for my wife which apparently tasted like a squash. Service left something to be desired as well I am afraid. On our initial table three menus supplied. On the second only one and had to ask for two more. Table wiped down after our main courses but only one corner? Had to ask several times for the bill, having asked the lady above who dealt with the spicy food issues. In fact she was eating her evening meal behind us with other customers and jumped up and apologised when she realised she had not let us have our bill. The waitress who we dealt with initially about our table allocation asked at the end of our meal if we had enjoyed it and if we would return. Afraid we said no to both. We had a mutually respectable conversation as to why not and discussed the issues above and others. So a disappointing evening I am afraid. However this is a true reflection of our experience from our perspectives."

"This restaurant provides an excellent dining experience. The service is top-notch, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner. The price per person falls between £20-30. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a high rating of 5. The Chicken Kebab was a standout dish, and the vegetarian options are clearly labeled, although we would only somewhat recommend them."
