About Thai Cafe - London Road
We serve Thai food as it is meant to be eaten—uncompromised and authentic. Our menu does not follow the standard takeaway style of toned-down flavours. We cook with the same ingredients, the same preparation methods, and the same heat levels you would encounter in Thailand. If you are looking for a standard takeaway experience, you will not find it here. A Note on Spice: We prioritize flavour integrity, which includes the heat. Expect authentic spice levels across the menu. [🌶️] Spicy: A noticeable kick. [🌶️🌶️] Hot: Traditional heat intensity. [🌶️🌶️🌶️] Thai Hot: Extreme heat. Recommended only if you have a high tolerance for spice. We do not dilute our recipes to accommodate standard takeaway expectations; please order according to your personal tolerance.
