service - 4.5/5
ambience - 4/5

total damage done rs 3900... totally worth it

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 agreencurry 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 thegreencurry!

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 theirgreencurry, 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.

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 andgreencurries. first timers i recommend thegreencurry. 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 withgreenand red thai curry with steamed rice and stir fry vegetables. thegreencurry 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.

a place that never let's you down. it has the best thai food in mumbai. thegreencurry 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.

its very rightly one of the best in india. the serive and ambience is of class. its lke an international.michelin stat feeling. live the decor and the intense enviorment. pandan leaves chicken and spring rolls are a must try. thegreenthai cuŕry is spicy. and lipdnacking. beverages are ok. be it the cocktails or the pungent thai cooler. its a must try . .

with the title of the best thai place in town, thai pavilion had great expectations to be fulfilled as i walked through the place in anticipation. truth be told, i have had minor interactions with thai food, but nothing major and certainly not something at a taj offering. i was supremely excited for the same and decided to choose trattoria, with its italian offering a miss for this oriental treat.
the ambience of the place is classically modern. there is a live kitchen counter, where almost all the dishes are cooked from the soups to the desserts. it's a very different from a lot of other places, but i must say that seeing the wok sizzle is very pleasing almost cathartic. the stream of desserts that fly off the counter are pleasing and you can wait till you reach the end.
the service is impeccable, but i have a bone to pick with the establishment as i will explain later.
as we seated, we were offered two fried veg wontons as a starter from their side. i think it was their way to showcase the sauces they had on offer. we started with the tom kha soup, spicy and hitting you right up the nose with its ginger and lemongrass. the portion size of the soup was pretty small though. next up we had the lobster in pepper and butter. it was amazing. the sauce was heavily full of garlic and went amazing with the deshelled lobster. and finally we opted for thaigreencurry as the main course. the taste of the curry was really good, however we found a few bits of uncooked chicken in our meal. at this point, given the level of place we are at, i expected that they would ask for a replacement or not charge it at all. however, we were disappointed when they waiter just high handedly took it away and said that i can have another portion of the same dish. i argued that i would not want to eat the same thing, fearing the outcome,but he did not respond further at which i just asked for the cheque. i was disappointed and could not even try the desserts they had to offer.
the whole experience hit so many high notes and was let down because of one bad one. i don't know why all of this happened,but it was weird and i expected better from a place rated 4.6,not to mention one that is hosted by taj.

we ordered starters like steamed thai dim sums, prawn spring rolls, thai-style chicken morsels wrapped in pandarus leaves, which were all very good. the salads were okay. we also had the famous pad thai, both in red sauce as well asgreensauce. the desserts were delicious. we tried crème brûlée and warm toffee pudding. there was also plenty of wine options to choose from.

great ambiance, excellent food and very friendly staff. our server joe was really good and suggested food based on our likings and taste. we ordered papaya salad, corn cake, grilled chicken in starters, veg tom yum soup,veggreencurry, veg pad thai & something in minced chicken for main courses. everything was good except the corn cake as it had no flavor. semmifraddo for desserts was just too good and a must try. overall loved the place and would definitely go back again

we had a fantastic time this afternoon at thai pavilion. though all the four of us were vegetarians, the extremely courteous staff made it so easy for us to arrange a varied and well balanced menu . the raw papaya salad and the dimsum were outstanding; not to mention the signature thaigreencurry ! the bamboo shoot and lotus stem curry was out of the world ! the icing on the cake ( literally) was when they organised a delicious chocolate mousse cake and ice cream to celebrate my birthday ..that made my day ! a truly great experience..the warm welcoming service made the difference! strongly recommended!

thai food is all about the spices

thai pavilion is an all time favourite. i have been visiting thai pavilion for over 7 years now and it has always been a very pleasant experience. the complimentary starter they start you off with, is one of the best in the world. followed up with an incredible phad thai jae andgreencurry. the service here is always great (also want to add that the staff is incredibly knowledgeable too) and adds to the charm of the restaurant. there is only one suggestion i have for anyone who wants to eat here. call up and reserve. this place gets booked up really quickly, so always best to go in with a reservation.

thai pavillion offers a fantastic range of thai food. we love the papaya salad, the chicken in pandanus leaves and the thaigreencurry. the fish is to die for. service is always with a smile abs joe is amazing.
