The Thai Corner Cafe

[merylmcmillan]

Don't really think the thai corner cafe needs anyone raving about it but it was an absolute delight to bring my Mum up to check it out a couple of weekends ago. Probably some of the best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand and such lovely staff. Just as good takeaway service too and a ridiculously good price. Worth booking as it's so busy!!!

Didn't realise they did delivery/takeaways.

That's Saturday night sorted for the Dopamines.

really...delivery Great!!!

I must say I was a little disappointed with the food I had delivered on Saturday night. Starters were great but the main curry was underwhelming. Maybe I'm too used to the westernised version of Thai food.

In my experience (and I have been to Thailand), sadly the Thai Corner Cafe IS the westernised version of Thai food.

It has been very variable since it opened, but I finally stopped going there after I had a dish which tasted like watery marmite :( I would be delighted if it really has improved - have they got a new chef perhaps?

If you want really excellent Thai food locally, the Begging Bowl in Bellenden Road is the place to go, in my opinion. More expensive than the Thai Corner Cafe, but worth every penny.

Sadly I've only been able to afford to go there once, on my partner's birthday :(

I have only been The TCC once. When it first opened..

Was not impressed. Was Very expensive very crowded. virtually sitting on each others laps.

Food was no better that the Supermarket Thai Selection packages.

You know. 12 Thai spring rolls/ 12 Tempura battered king prawns / Thai green/red curry kits.

It's standard fare at TCC but - let's be realistic - the begging bowl is 3x the price.

Yep, TCC is cheap and cheerful westernised Thai. Not sure I could say with any authority that BB is more authentic but it's certainly a lot nicer.

Agree. TCC is fine for basic Anglicised Thai but you'll never think any of it is amazing. Begging Bowl a different league really but too cramped inside. I'd only go in the summer when you can sit outside.

Went once in TCC and found it average food with a lot of hassle and no space to move around the place.

Anyone who has been to Thailand and thinks TCC is 'authentic' Thai food must have been vacationing in Pattaya !
