absolute thai

i'm a veggie by birth and choice... just enjoyed the dishes.... one request...pls increase the appetizer quantity... staff suggestion of main course was relishing..... being in india u can expect the dishes to favour our taste buds.... but it's more thai and less indian.

went for a casual dining. ordered phad gai khimao. spaghetti plus minced chicken and tender pepper corns.

good blend of spice. would visit again for other dishes . 😊

poor service, forgot one of our order, and mocked at us at the end saying kitchen is closed... although the food good, hotel needs better attenders ..

nice ambience, courteous waiters....

food wise bit on the spicier side, the tom yum soup that i ordered was a bit spicy for my liking....

one thing gotto mention was the mixed veggies stir fry that we ordered, i always assumed that stirfries were smokey and well " stir fried" but it came in a bowl in a peanut gravy.... for crying out loud it was personally recommend by the guy himself.... when asked about it he said that's how it is....so lesson learnt- stick to the menu and don't hesitate to ask questions ( not to mention the dish cost 450 rs. total waste)...loved the fried rice though.....

overall i felt it was only on the okay side...(maybe i expected a bit more from all the zomato rating)

p.s : as soon as we entered the restaurant the aroma of lemon grass was so soothing and totally loved it, but a complimentary lemongrass tea and lemongrass in every dish we ordered rt from soup to everything we ordered , well let's just say ....huh... hmm ... " overkill" .....

weekday dinner.
when i stepped in. the wonderful lemmongrasss smell was filled.
ambiance and service was great.
food -we got
tom yum - spicy. loved it.
glass noodles -was good
money bag - was crispy and excellent.
corn tartlet - exploded . awesome one.
we got a noodles as our main which was full of vegetables.
last got a dessert from the cafe for a friend's birthday.
it was an absolute treat !!
the whole costed 1800 nearly for 2 people. which i feel is expensive but the food was amazing.

chicken meat seems to be a scarcity in this restaurant. my friend and i ordered an exorbitantly priced red thai curry, chicken spring rolls and jasmine rice (bill totaled up around 1.5k) and we were on a scavenger hunt for the meat.

we sent the spring rolls back to double check on the meat filling, so it came back affirmative that the meat is scarce, if not invisible. maybe they thought we could use some extra veggies.

the pro is that there's a lot of gravy in the curry along with some bitter seeds that i haven't ever cooked a thai curry with. fyi, i took a legit cooking lesson in thailand making the same curry and there were no seeds.

overall, it was pretty disappointing to have a rating as high and not get what you ordered and dish out more than it would cost to eat somewhere more authentic. the 3 rating is for the nice touches of baby spinach diy wraps, ginger tasting lemon shots and the lemongrass tea we were served at the end.

it was a early lunch on a weekend. place is calm. ambience is good. food was good.

my daughter insisted on money bag. it is real good.

pricing is on a higher side, but the overall experience is good.

had heard a lot of hype about this place so decided to give it a shot. we were welcomed by a welcome drink and a classic savoury betal leaf platter. it had a some groundnuts, ginger, chillis, onions, lime and coconut. typical in the thai scene, it was quite refreshing. started off with a tom yum prawn soup. the soup was delicious and the broth was very well made. the flavour were perfect.
next, we ordered their absolute thai combo which had sone spring rolls, money bags, tempura prawns and fish cakes. the fish cake was quite disappointing to be honest and was bland. the other three starters were pretty decent.
the main course was phad khimao flat noodles along with a phad bai krapi. the noodles were nice and fresh and the chicken well cooked. nothing too great but nothin bad about the dish as well
finally for our dessert, we had tub tim grod, i.e the water chestnuts in coconut milk, a thai staple and khao niew mamauns, the sticky rice but with a blueberry flavouring as opposed to the mango in the menu, another thai classic. the desserts were fantastic. not overly sweet. the rice was perfectly cooked and had a beautiful texture . we enjoyed the desserts

food: 4/5
ambience: 4.5/5
service: 4/5

one of my favorite places in chennai to have best thai food. i love their thai red curry "chicken " & prawn tempura. when the mango season comes u should definitely try mango with coconut sticky rice

i have had thai food but never in an exclusive thai place. when i entered i was welcomed by an array of fairy lights. the restaurant was brightly lit. the restaurant was roomy enough! as we got to the table, they gave us a lemon ginger drink and then a tray with a betel leaf like and a few accompaniments for it such as groundnut, dried coconut, ginger, lemon, red chilly and onions with jaggery sauce. we can customise it as our wish. damn! it was so refreshing. we ordered two starters, both of them were so good. the spring roll was filled with glass noodles and it was amazing. the chicken starter was soft, tender and juicy. we ordered a burnt garlic fried rice - the best fried rice i've ever had. and a gravy noodle which was also good. we had an lemon iced tea to soothe the palate. at the end, the served us a lemongrass tea, which so great and also complimentary. it was a great experience. and i would love to visit again.❤️

one of the best places in the city to have south east asian thai food. it is pretty much easily identifiable from the main road but one has to take a long stretch of two u-turns if you are coming from omr. parking is easily achievable as they allow to park on the roadside if you are going by 2-wheeler and it would be inside if you are going by 4-wheeler. i guess they have valet parking available too. this place has two different tangents of food - thai, sushi and french. thai and sushi are part of one building and french (cafe de paris) is part of different one. the one which we went has absolute thai and sushi in box in same building but different floors. the ambience of at is lit up well and ample seating is available assuming it not be a rush hour place. we were offered a complimentary drink which had ginger and lime finch and then they offered the typical thai munching stuff (a betel leaf, peanuts, dried coconut scrappers). in the meantime we had given our order for tom yam soup (veg and non veg) thai garlic fried rice (veg and non veg). in about 20 min initially came the soup with mind blowing flavours oozing out of the soup which locked my mind and stomach to fully concentrate on it. it was one of the best ty soups i had so far. then within minutes we were served with fried rice which was sumptuously spicy and did test my taste buds to the core. my eyes, nose and mouth were completely filled with water. may be they should have reduced the spicyness a bit. we took a hard stop at this juncture and asked them to present the cheque. bill amount was pretty expensive (900 per head) but it is worth a try for the amount being spent. service needs a bit of push but they were courteous through out our dining experience.

the tempura was very heavily breaded - tempura batter should be very light. the tofu satay was good but the marinade was lacking in flavor.

terrible food. ordered for stir fried vegetables came batter fried. the desert water chestnut had to be returned because it was horrible. the restaurant was so noisy.

thai red curry is insanely amazing

expired taste 😡🤬🥵
