Thai Orchid Banbury - Cherwell

Have driven past multiple times in the last year and always wondered what it would be like. Well I am not disappointed in the least. Food was sensational, beautifully decorated environment and pleasant attentitive staff. Will definitely return!

Visited on a Monday evening in July and we had a great meal. Lovely decor inside and great service. The food was so fresh, 2 of us had the set meal at £33 a head which was good value for the amount and quality of the food served. Would recommend and would definitely go back again if in the area.

Went to eat here as we were visiting a friend in Banbury, The decor looks okay but very dated. The my partner and our friend are both gluten intolerant and were given a gluten free menu, but several of the dishes on that menu are on the regular menu and are several pounds cheaper. The dishes that were served were luke warm and smelled either sweaty or of pee ! My partner wanted the strawberries and meringue for dessert, but was told by the waitress that it contained sponge! very unusual and not entirely believable. The dessert he finally chose was Thai custard, which was actually creme caramel. The toilets had ivy growing through the window and was not very clean. When we were paying the bill with one of the several miserable waitresses, she asked how much we were going to leave as a tip, so she could add it to the bill. I said I would tip in cash, as I usually do, to make sure the staff get it. I am a bit silly and should not have tipped at all as it was not worth a tip because of the unhelpful staff, but anyway, as we got up to leave a Thai man was hovering next to us to see if we left a tip on the table. As soon as we moved, he pounced to see what we had left. Thank goodness, we found a nice little place across the road to eat ,next time we visit , as the place needs drastic improvement. !!

A group of 19 (and a baby), we had a really fantastic meal here. Food was exceptional and the service was very very good. They were well organised and friendly and nothing was a bother. We will absolutely be back and cannot recommend highly enough.

With friends on a Monday night, not very busy but excellent Thai food. We chose a couple of the set menu's and they were perfect. There was just the right amount of food and it was very well presented. Interesting restaurant that seemed to go back quite away with plenty of seating and unusual decor.
