Al Fassia

In one respect at least I tend to think of restaurants rather as I do of my fellow human beings. Flashy on the outside can lead to subsequent disappointment. A trifle drab on the exterior can often reveal hidden pleasures.

Aroy Thai

Aroy Thai restaurant in Maidenhead has gained a great reputation as the place to go for fresh, traditional Thai cooking in the heart of the town. This contemporary dining room is a million miles from the poor quality fuggy Thai-down-the-pub, as wooden floors, leather seating, dressed tables and white walls all come together to create a smart, relaxed space for a meal out, and, with Aroy Thai open until late, a perfect spot for the end of an evening out.

Art of Siam

A thoroughly authentic, in the nicest way, Far Eastern restaurant, with a wide range of enticing Thai dishes. Some of the ingredients arrive direct from Thailand. The menu indicates by means of a chilli rating system the strength of each particular dish.
