It was pretty quiet on Sunday evening, even though the restaurant across the road was full packed. We decided to give it a try and ordered Tom Kha Goong, Khao Pad, and Phad Nam Prig Pao.The soup was on another level really rich and flavourful, with a good-sized king prawn. Was almost full just from that. The Phad Nam Prig Pao was also quite nice.Sakin looked after us and was great! very friendly and checked in a couple of times to make sure everything was okay.Will definitely be back, especially for the the soup 💥

I recently visited this restaurant and tried several dishes — Kiew Wahn, Pad Thai, spicy chicken wings, and Kanom Jeep dumplings — and every one of them was fantastic. The flavors were bold and authentic, especially the Kiew Wahn, which had just the right balance of sweetness and spice. The Pad Thai was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked, and the dumplings were tender with a flavorful filling. Overall, I’d rate the food an 8/10 — definitely a place I’d come back to just for the dishes alone. That said, the service could use some improvement. Staff seemed a bit unorganized and slow to check in, which slightly took away from the overall experience. Still, the quality of the food makes it worth visiting — just hope they tighten up the service to match the excellent kitchen.

I was just walking past and noticed Black Lotus Thai – this was my very first time trying Thai cuisine. I ordered only one starter (Black Lotus Hors D’oeuvre) as I was craving a snack, and I absolutely loved it! The mix of flavours was amazing and everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. Even though I’m new to Thai food, this starter really impressed me and now I’m excited to try more, especially Pad Thai since it’s listed as their #1 most liked dish. Looking forward to coming back soon to explore more of their menu.

Had dinner at Black Lotus – honestly 5 stars across the board. The food was full of flavour – we had the mixed platter, spicy prawn rice, red chicken curry, and egg fried rice, and every dish hit the mark. Staff were lovely, really attentive without being over the top. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing meal. Everything is halal and there is a prayer room at the back which was a really thoughtful touch. Will definitely be back again, insha’Allah – highly recommended!
