Narong Thai - Basingstoke and Deane

I ordered through Just Eat and the delivery estimate was 45 minutes. 2 hours later and the food eventually arrived. Apparently traffic was bad! I live less than 1 mile from the restaurant and it was 10:30 at night. Don’t order any fried items as they arrive soggy you have to put them in the oven when they arrive. Eating in the “restaurant” is a bad idea... it’s a dodgy pub complete with sticky carpet and pissed up locals. Avoid!

Shame that when you try and order almost half hour before said/stated close time phone is left ringing. Why state a time then dont comply? If you dont want to take a order at the latter time dont advertise being open to stated time. Shame because the food; although expensive, is lovely!

Read the reviews and was going to order in but my “carer” fancied an outing. The pub is a sports pub with multiple TVs and a pool table. We sat in the upstairs area , which is a drab place, and ordered our meals at the bar. The food was okay, the presentation was below okay, so I can understand the better reviews on takeaway. If I fancied Thai again , it would be the Thai Lounge at Ropley. The quality of food and presentation would make the journey worthwhile.

A last minute decision to have a take away here proved a good decision. Som tam papaya salad had a nice kick of heat. As did Gang pet yang duck curry. Nice amount of meat in a tasty spicy sauce. Pad thai gai was pleasant and a decent portion. Nothing to complain about here. Well worth a visit. Pub itself is nicely laid out too.

Had a fabulous takeaway ordered on JustEat while visiting some friends in Basingstoke. It was four of us and everyone has had a very enjoyable meal. It was so great, that we have decided to make another trip to Basingstoke to have lunch at Narong Thai. I called ahead to check on the food serving times and I was welcomed with open arms to visit on the following day. Lunch was delicious and the gentleman serving us has done marvellously to make it a very pleasant experience. Thanks for reading and i hope you enjoy the food as much as we did when you go there
