Having seen and heard all the glowing reviews of this place, and having not visited it in about four years (usually I walk straight past into Long Feng which is a personal favourite of mine), we decided to give Royal Thai a try. As the first step, I called the hotel (Cinnamon Lakeside) to place a reservation. The operator quickly... More

The food, service, value for money and atmosphere is perfect! I was highly disappointed to find all restaurants in Sri Lanka that claim to be Thai are far from it or more Chinese. This restaurant is the only one in Sri Lanka that I have come across that serves excellent Thai food that actually tastes and smells like Thai. Highly... More

Royal Thai easily has the best Thai food I have ever had. The food is simply exquisite, never had better tasting food anywhere else. The restaurant is in a great hotel, and so meeting for a few drinks before a meal in a place with a great atmosphere is possible. The restaurant has a really authentic decor, and the staff... More

The Royal Thai has continued along its serene way, through the many changes of ownership at what is now the Cinnamon Lakeside. Throughout all those changes - at least three that I can think of - the restaurant has consistently delivered high quality Thai food. Not cheap, but very good.

Authentic Thai food at its best. The ambience truly makes you feel like Royalty and the food doesn't disappoint. The Tom Kha Ghai (Chicken soup in coconut milk) is one of my personal favourites and is well worth the Rs. 500+ it costs. The Thai papaya and mango salads are also highly recommended for those who love some sugary sourness... More
