A long-running local favourite for Thai food near the Pavilion, praised for good vegan/veggie options, a cosy and usually quiet setting, and fair prices. A few Redditors rate Tooktas or Unithai as more authentic, and it was called out for allegedly running unpaid 'trial shift' scams on staff.

What locals say
…and has outdoor seating if the weather is good but it's quite big so usually a bit busy but not too bad if you go earlier. Same for Planet India which is all vegetarian - when it's less busy it's very chill but on a busy night it gets packed and pretty loud as it's very small. Sabai Thai is maybe not quite so romantic but they usually do very nice Thai food and I've always found it fairly quiet in there even when it's busy. Nice service too. Hope that helps a bit…
Not super fancy but The Chilli Pickle (Indian), Sabai (Thai), Moonstone (Sri Lankan) and Pho (Vietnamese) have some great vegan options and are quite "ambient", definitely wouldn't look silly to dress up a bit. Also Purezza is all-vegan and lovely especially if you manage to get one of the booths, a bit more casual but really nice. Enjoy!
Great list - you missed out Thai though - Sabai Thai is probably the best, but the two at the Dials are also good (and BYO too) - Thai Pad Thai and Red Snapper.
I did it twice whilst at uni, scummy way to get a few hours of few labour out of desperate young people. Riddle & Finns and Sabai Thai -…
