absolute thai

an excellent place for authentic asian cuisine.

we had a great experience here. the hospitality was amazing. this was our first time trying thai cuisine. and i must say, i am eager to try more.
we used zomato gold and got a great deal too.

we went here accidentally and found that the place offers really amazing food on a slightly expensive side. i loved the tofu fried wrapped in bania leaves. the garlic fried rice and noodles were nice as well. i wish i had time to try many other options on their menu.

ripon

the ambience is quite calm as the crowd is limited.
we ordered
tohu tempura :must try! would definitely order again
steamed rice and chicken green gravy: the taste was great and i liked everything!

courteous staff and it gives out a nice vibe.

would i visit again? yes

good place to have a cozy sunday dinner with friends. the starters and soup was great. food was good too, though the menu was not understandable, vegetarian dishes had quite some varieties. definitely a different type of cuisine to try.

very rude staff. no sense of customer service at all

tasty food with authentic spices and thai palate. the sea food combo was excellent. the spiciness is done with red real chillies so you may want to remove them. two main course were diffident for the three of us. expensive though. shall visit next year :-)

the food was average at best . the phad bai krapao gai was dry . thr minced chicken was seperate from the stir fry gravy , i guess the chicken was not fresh . the phad bami gai was soggy i am pretty sure noodles arent supposed to be like this.

the servers were loud , they crowed and spoke loudly quiet a turn off when you dine .

i would not prefer to dine here again. i wonder how this place is rated 4.4 . its a flat 2 !

would not visit again. reasons below

a) poor service. had to struggle to call the waiter to order more food. was never asked for water. hand towel was selectively not placed in our table, had to ask for tissue paper. people serving food were confused what food was being served. chopsticks was not served, had to ask for it. not an authentic thai experience by a long long distance

b) food quantity is very low. stir fry was literally so little that, even for one person we had to order more than one. 2 of us shared a full portion of fried rice, stir fry and steam rice, still not enough. we are not even big eaters

c) the taste itself is not authentic thai. i have tasted thai food across the world, multiple times across multiple cities in thailand. this is by far the least authentic thai food from a thai restaurant. at best you can call this "indian thai"

overall not a good experience. the experience overall is over priced and not much value for money. would not revisit. thanks

they served us chicken thai curry instead of veg thai curry. they said sorry as if that fixes everything. also gravy was watery. service was delayed.

the food tastes pretty indianized. the food was decent but didn't match the expectations of a 4.2 rated zomato gold restaurant.

what to do when two best friends have the birthday at same day, we go out and celebrate by eating thai food :) and this time we chose absolute thai after reading all reviews. booked table through zomato and used zomato gold :)

soup - tom kha - has good flavours with lot of vegetables and it was the best of most of the thai places i had in chennai.

starters - money bag, crispy corn, tofu tempura and spring roll. all were equally good and the tempura was the best. the crispy corn and spring roll was perfect with texture and taste. money bag alone we felt it was little oily but tasted good. and the portions were neither small nor huge and was enough for 4 people.

main course - ordered one basil fried rice and thai green curry with white rice. basil fried rice was little spicy but tasted good. thai curry no complaints over there. and the portions were enough for again 4 people

desserts - banana fritters, water chestnut and one rice ball in milk. fritters was good, water chestnut and rice ball one was huge. and tasted good too.

overall a good experience with whatever we ordered. we couldn’t order non veg since it was lord krishna’s bday too :) will def visit to taste their non veg menu too. price was around 2.7k for 4 people including zomato gold discount which was pretty decent.

food - 4.5/5

service - 4/5

price - 4.5/5

overall - 4.5/5

for some tangy and spicy lovers !!!

the ambience is simply superb. its very calm to dine in. they have very mild lighting and spacious dining. to talk about food on my plate was -tod mun khao pod (baby corn starter)
this was very crunchy kind of canopes. the filling was lil sweet and spicy and well caramalised.
-khao phat bai krapao (basil fried rice)
the rice was perfectly cooked and it tasted medium spicy.
-pad khimao
this is flat noodles with basil flavored and with tender pepper corn.
over all its perfect place to dine in and to those who have feel that we cant taste thai food... its definitely not, u must try it over here !!!
