Stunning Thai restaurant in the beautiful Datai hotel. Thai cuisine so quite hot although they will tone it down if you wish. Recommend the chilli lobster!! Upmarket and men must wear long trousers although not all do. Immaculate service. Expensive but worth it.

We really enjoyed our dinner at the pavilion Datai , the restaurant is built with high wood ceiling like Malaysian traditional houses . The staff were very helpful and service passion driven , I will definitely recommend the steam white snapper with chili and lemongrass plus the spicy lamb curry which was out of the ordinary ( best to try...

We enjoyed the very special atmosphere of The Datai and this restaurant. Staff were generally gracious and helpful. There seemed to be a major problem in the kitchen the night of our special dinner visit - it took an hour and a half for main course to arrive and we were not given any warning of the problem. That major... More

Set in an outdoor restaurant in the midst of the rainforest it is an amazing setting. Food is solid your usual Thai staples. Prices are a little over the top but after all u r in a high end resort. Service can be better like most things in the hotel.

The food was gastronomical. I loved eating the must-try duck curry with the free-flow of complimentary sticky rice! The desserts were really good too. It wasn't a really spacious restaurant, so if you are heading there during the hotel's peak season, I'd recommend you make reservations first. It was a really busy night when I went there with my group... More

If you like Thai food then this place is for you. The restaurant is set in a fantastic location and the food was amazing. We were a group of 8, so ordered a variety of dishes for all to share and every dish was really really good. Whether you stay in the Datai, the Andaman or somewhere else nearby, I... More

Owing to a poor choice of other venues, we ate here more than anywhere else during our two week stay at The Datai and the Thai food was as excellent as ever, make sure that you don't miss their Lobster Night on a Wednesday. Highlights include the prawn and pomelo salad with peanuts, and the superb drunken prawns. Service is... More

We visited the Datai from the Danna where we were staying. A beautiful location in the rainforest and the best Thai food we had on our trip. The wine list was decent and well-priced and the staff were very friendly and knowledgable.The starter was a delicious soft-shell crab spiced with fresh chill and pepper - wow. My main was the...

The food was delicious, we had the beef massaman curry, the Thai red curry, steamed red snapper and tamarind roasted chicken as well as the crab and prawn cakes. Everything was exceptional, portions sizes were just right and the atmosphere is great. It is expensive but well worth it for the atmosphere and food. Service is good, just the right... More
