Bangkok Thai 44-48 Saint James Street, Cheltenham GL52 2SH

"Great food, however the service is inconsistent. Our drinks and soups were forgotten, and we were blamed for not receiving either of them. I gave 4 stars for the service and not 3 because they did turn it around in the end. The atmosphere upstairs is very depressing and it's freezing. I appreciate they got us at the last minute, but if you're not offering the same level of service then don't bother, it will ruin the experience for customers and it'll only go against you."

"Best Thai in Cheltenham by far! I grew up in Southeast Asia and have been to Thailand over 15 times, and I can say that the food we had at this restaurant was as authentic as it gets! Papaya salad was perfect, as was the massaman and jungle curry. The waiters even accommodated go our spice requirements and made both dishes more spicy that initially advertised. The service was great - the lady who served us was smiley, funny and attentive. I ordered a pot of jasmine tea, and got a full cup of tea + full pot on order; it’s the little things that set great establishments from the average. Overall amazing ambience, we will definitely be back again."

"First time in Cheltenham and was looking for a Thai place for dinner - first went into the The Vine but was ignored so went up the road and found this restaurant. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted, warmly welcomed, and seated at a lovely table for one. The ambience and decor is just splendid here and there's a feeling if unpretentious class so I didn't feel uncomfortable not having dressed up. Tom yum soup for starter with plump mushrooms and a generous serving of 5 king prawns. The broth was spicy and hot which was surprisingly refreshing. The tofu Pad Thai for mains was filling, piping hot and well cooked. Compliments to the chef. I heard a number of other diners praising their meals too. And one of the customers when leaving hugged the lady host... The whole place has such a lovely feel to it. Highly recommended."

"We’ve visited Bangkok Thai several times. Reasonable price, absolutely lovely staff, and of course authentic Thai food. Highly recommend to those who are craving for a Thai feast."

"Incredible experience, wonderful service and even better food!! I've been here twice since the refurb and both times have exceeded expectations. All of the staff are super welcoming and chatty. Every dish was super tasty- definitely the best Thai I've had in and around Cheltenham. My second visit was on my birthday and the team went above and beyond to make it a special night, going as far to adding decorations to our table and even a birthday cake. Cannot thank you all enough for a perfect birthday celebration and will be recommending you to as many people as possible. Many thanks Rachel"
