this restaurant has never failed to impress ! dined here last night and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. the service has always been exceptional which i feel simply lifts up the whole experience of 'eating out'. ordered my staples and as usual everything was yum, even after all the food that we ordered ( and completely polished off), we still managed to clean out the dark chocolate ice cream too simply because it was so yummy !!!

this place is bae❤❤❤❤❤..coconut and water chestnut dessert is mind blowing.. the springs rolls are delicious and the mushrooms and papaya salad are fingerlickin good💓

probably one of the most consistent and authentic restaurants in the city. i have never been to this restaurant and left disappointed.
so yesterday we went here again after a few months. the place is buzzing as usual.. we get our table and for appetisers we order the white prawns and chicken wrapped in pandas leaves and a couple of glasses of wine. the service has been always polite and quick. but today it was lightning fast... trust me i have waited longer in mcd lines. the starters came perfectly done great fresh shrimps with this pungent fiery sauce with a hint of sweetness to it. the chicken was... fried chicken you never go wrong with that

for mains we ordered a green curry chicken and steamed rice. my only concern was the curry was a lot more spicy than usual... apart from that it hit the spot perfectly.

less than perfect rating is just because the space felt very cramped for a star hotel restaurant... i could easily without even moving more than a couple of inches serve myself from the neighbouring table. although this made up for some funny eavesdropping on interesting conversations around our table. ??.

bhooka rating:
four thumbs up to this restaurant ????

the best thai food in mumbai period! the flavored are authentic and the ingredients are brought all the way from thailand. i am a regular at this place and must tryouts are the thai dim sums with vegetables, raw mango with water chestnut salads and the green curry!

thai pavilion at taj president cuffe parade was mumbai's first thai restaurant .. a true fine dine, this place has the most amazing and authentic thai royal cuisine that i've ever had. no wonder thai pavilion gets rated as india's best thai restaurant year after year ..

the dim lightings and ambience set the mood for a perfect plush evening. their service is excellent and you truly feel treated 5 star standards. do not miss their green curry, papaya salad at any cost, they are the best you'll find anywhere.. they have a good selection of wines, however if you are not the wine types then do try they iced tea.

this place is steep and a meal for two will cost you about 2000 - 2500 bucks but its surely worth a special evening. most of the weekends the tables are sold out and one should definitely not go without prior booking.

location -cuffe parade › vivanta by taj president, 90, cuffe parade, mumbai.

to begin with , i had dined at thai pavilion for my birthday which turned out super good. thai pavilion is the best destination for thai food in mumbai. pure genuine thai food is what you get here. you won’t be disappointed at all. everything was perfect from the ambience ,staff , food and desserts. the only worth 5 star restaurant in mumbai in terms of everything :) i felt so good and relived memories of bangkok and pattaya. i highly recommend this restaurant to visit atleast once and then you won’t stop revisiting it :p

every dish was unique and the flavours were so strong and real. kudos to the chef, you are truly amazing. as i told the staff it’s my birthday , they send a huge slice of strawberry cheesecake at the end and yes it was toothsome. truly a merry experience out here.

we had 1 mocktail, 2 appetizers, 1 rice ,1 curry and 1 dessert platter..

mocktail

farang marry (450) which is a super blend of guava and chilly , it’s yum. highly recommend .

appetizers

red snapper cakes (900)- oh my god , it was super delicious.  
marinated chicken with peanut sauce (900)- just about okie, nothing great. 
main course

spicy fried rice with roast curry paste and basil. (950)- prefect and full-flavoured.
kho pnp kai (950) – divine with full of flavours. 
we took the dessert platter , which had assorted mini desserts. now all of them aren’t that great specially the chocolate ones , but omg water chestnut, pumpkin and creme brûlée is just too good. priced at 600.

 sub total – 4750 .. total tax – 863 grand total – 5613.

no doubt it’s expensive , but totally worth it once in a while…

all round excellent thai food. honestly the best in south mumbai, i cant speak for the north. also for being in a taj hotels property it is not exorbitant, especially if you can keep the alcohol to a minimum. that being said, for all you cocktail lovers, please ask the staff if they can serve cocktails from 'wink' which is a lounge bar just a few steps down from the thai pavilion, known for its cocktails. they usually oblige.

getting back to the food, the soft shell crab with pomelo is amazing, the classic papaya salad of course, grilled scallops, chicken satay and the tom yum however you like it. 
the jasmine rice goes perfectly with both the red and green curries. first timers i recommend the green curry. delicious. the grilled pork chop with mint and cucumber sauce is also great. do order a morning glory, the vegetables are fresh and crunchy and go perfectly with the entire meal. never eaten the desserts here so apologies for not recommending any.

my only grouse with this place if any is that perhaps the portions could be more generous. keep up the good work thai p! cheers.

i love the ambience and the way they have done up the place. went in the afternoon lunch on a weekday and was pretty empty. not a big thai food fan actually.

food: we were a large group so we ordered corn cakes, papaya salad, raw mango salad and spring rolls for starters. the corn cakes with the honey chili sauce and papaya salad was good. the raw mango salad and spring rolls were very average and not somehting i'd expect here. ordered a clear noodle soup. i love the way they serve it in earthen pots. but i was surprised at the quantity - pitiful and nothing really great.

in main course we went with green and red thai curry with steamed rice and stir fry vegetables. the green curry was a tad better than the red though very average and nothing to write home about. the stir fry veg was decent but then again thats a standard dish you cant go wrong with.

service: service is really good unlike a lot of five star restos. probably amongst the best ive seen. i loved the way they had this little cloth in a dish which expands when they fill it with water to wipe your face with. they made sure everything was ok and if we needed anything else.

damages: spent about rs 2000 per person after a 30% discount. of course we did have a full meal with a few drinks but still not worth the price.

after coming back atleast 2 - 3 of us had bad throats so im definately skiping this place hence forth.

the perfect place to enjoy delectable thai food. the ambiance gives you a feel like you're in a thai place. soft music soothes you while you enjoy your food.
to freshen you up, they first give you a hot towel which has lemongrass flavor.
later they serve thai flavored sushi which is complimentary.
the food is authentic and flavorful.
what we ordered-
tom yum soup
glass vermicelli soup
coconut soup
all of which had a perfect consistency and were piping hot, just the way a soup should be.
appetizers called for thai dim sum and corn cakes.
for main course we ordered pad thai noodles which had a perfect crunch of peanuts.
dessert was just superb. i called for a dark chocolate semifreddo with espresso ice cream.
overall my experience was fabulous. the service was also up to the mark.
had a great evening.

i am not new to the thai pavilion experience having seen this place in many avatars. i must also confess that i always look forward to my meals here.

so yesterday when we decided to dine here with another couple i looked forward to the evening. thai pavilion truly has a great setting in the taj vivanta nee president at cuffe parade and it sets the stage for special occasion. the interior is classy and the lighting is perfect. the service is absolutely flawless.

having said that down to the meal, unlike many other places in this category thai pavilion has a uniform pricing for all categories so if you look at the appetizer menu all of them are priced the same irrespective of the exoticness of the dish. so scallops will cost the same as chicken for example. my favorite appetizer here in the past has been the soft shell crab and unfortunately it was not available. and so we decided to call for the prawn tempura and scallops along with a raw papaya salad. the prawn tempura, what can you say was like any other prawn tempura, the accompanying sauce was suitable, but then dish is not a dish you need to come to thai pavilion for! on the other had the scallops were really delectable with just the right amount of sear and a very interesting sauce. slightly tart but lovely. the thai papaya salad in the other hand is always a winner here.

down to the mains we ordered the lamb masyman curry. i think thai pavilion makes the best masyman curry in mumbai. there is absolutely no doubt about it. you can taste the sweetness of the browned onions. amazing flavours and the lamb is cooked just at the correct level where it melts in your mouth.

so then thai pavilion is the perfect setting for a relaxed evening with fiends and family or maybe that special date. my only quibble is that the table spacing is very close for a establishment of this calibre and a potential evening spoiler if you have noisy or unruly people on the next table. not on this evening though all good!

oh yes i always get asked about the pricing a meal for two without drinks should set you back by 1500- 2000 bucks and i think that's good value!

a place that never let's you down. it has the best thai food in mumbai. the green curry is delicious and we called for the pad thai noodles. their waterchestnut starter was to die for. the cherry on the cake was the toffee dessert. perfectly warm and soft. the only thing that is disappointing is that the tables are too close to each other.

this was my favorite place for thai food in mumbai however the food quality seems to have gone down considerably.

the mango/water chestnut salad was too sour. this was despite enquiring specifically from the staff before ordering - they had assured that given the mango season it won't be too sour.

the massaman curry was a bit salty. overall the balance of flavor, which the restaurant consistently delivered earlier, was missing. given how good the food here used to be i guess the chef may have changed!
