    Cheap and cheerful Thai food. Stick to the green curries. Good range of gluten-free options. Quick service.

    Booked here for a friends Birthday for 8 people, Although the food tasted good (curries were relatively authentic and coconut rice was very good) and the price was good (about £20 a head) the management made us feel very unwelcome and the service was slow. The restaurant lacked ambiance and the manager had a go at me in front of the party and said that I owed him money (£2.50) because two of our party had to cancel last minute. We spent over £100 and the manager still treated us with distain, ignoring us when we tried to get his attention and serving other customers instead. There are so many other places where I can get good food and good service in Brixton that even though we did think the food was good we won't be going back there.

    The staff at the restaurant were lovely and the food was excellent. I would definitely go again and have since recommended to friends.The only thing I'd suggest is playing some music as it felt a bit too quiet when we first arrived.

    First visit, and it will not be the last. One of the best Thai meals I have had for a while, lovely flavours and well prepared. Very good service too.

    Terribly poor quality food. Ordered a jungle curry. It tasted worse than an Uncle Bens ready meal. Poor service. Expensive for the quality of food

    We visited Baan Thai last week. The restaurant doesn't look much from the outside but the staff were very good - friendly and efficient - and the food was excellent. Really enjoyed it.

    Had a lovely meal here before going to the Brixton Academy for a concert. Especially liked the vegetarian broccoli dish.

    The staff was attentive and food quality/quantity was good. The shame is that it lacks in atmosphere. Good for easy lunch or dinner but not for special occasions.
