Suda

The main highlight Suda Thai has to offer has to be its fantastic variety of fresh fruit shakes and fruit cocktails. Each of these delicious drinks are concocted with a fresh blend of fruit and decorated with a slice or stem of the fruits themselves. The service and décor of the restaurant are also noticeably well attended to and pleasant. In fact the food itself seems rather complementary to the other factors rather than a highlight itself. The food is well presented and attempts to incorporate flavour, colour and variety in every dish but in reality it reaches better than average but not great heights. For example, the chicken wings are not marinated with flavour, so whilst they are golden, meaty and well cooked inside, the only flavour comes from the sweet chilli dip that accompanies it. The vegetarian rice wraps had uniquely differing textures, good colour and crispy ingredients but again was lacking in flavour and only fully enjoyable with the dip alongside them. I have had 2 different curries on separate occasions from Suda Thai and both yielded the same results of being palatable but the meat a bit too chunky and dry to be perfect. So all in all the combination that Suda Thai provides, of which the drinks are exceptional and the discount menus a worthwhile temptation has already warranted me to visit this restaurant 3 times within the past few months. Refreshing and subtle; a satisfying visit each time as long as you’re not looking for a heavy meal.
