Tana Thai in Bedford

We went to Tana Thai for our anniversary. Wife had spring rolls for starters, which was essentially pastry with very little filling.For some reason I was a bit disappointed with the meal and also with the limited menu. We have had lot better meals previously at Tana Thai.

This is my favourite Thai restaurant in the whole of Bedford as well as London to be fair, and I have tried a few. The dishes here have a lot of flavour and the ingredients are quality and fresh. My favourite thing here is the Yum Woon Sen but not every one may order it due to the smell of the fish sauce or the dried prawns but absolutely delicious. Shame they do not have parking anymore but there is access to the paid car park in Bedford College which is opposite to them.

I don't normally write bad reviews but our experience here was not great.It was my birthday so we came here as it was suggested on the buyagift website. We had a dining experience bought for us as a gift before covid and we decided to use it there. Which was obviously not welcome because the older woman who dealt with us was really abrasive and rude the entire time. She didn't give us a chance to read the menu to see what was included she just shouted at us "buyagift is this one" and snatched the menus back. So we had no idea what we were about to eat.The younger waitress was so nice, but the older waitress only seemed to be nice to the other (only 2) guests. When we were finished we were waiting for the bill but she also said "why are you still here, what are you waiting for?", we did buy another drink that was over the allowance of the experience and so she slapped £6.45 gratuity on top of that drink, which resulted in 1 drink costing £9.99. ironically we had more cash than 6 quid to give as a tip but seeming as we were forced to pay gratuity for rude service we kept it.Despite this horrible experience on my birthday the food was good, couldn't tell you what we had because we didn't have a chance to read it. I have lived in Thailand and I was really hoping this would become somewhere I can continue to visit, because good Thai food is hard to find in the UK.But I wouldn't pay to be treated like that again. I will also make sure this experience is spoken about on all of my social media.

This is an outstanding restaurant. I arrived late, near closing time, and was warmly welcomed and shown to a comfortable seat.Sipping my Singha, I looked through the compact but well put-together menu.I chose the chicken satay and steamed sea bass. Both were excellent.The satay was beautifully presented with four large pieces of expertly-cooked chicken in a light, flavourful sauce and a crunchy salad on the side.My main course - the sea bass - was a masterpiece. Steamed to perfection and expertly filleted, it came in a simple, light, and deliciously spicy sauce, with perfectly cooked jasmine rice.The entire experience was a rare pleasure and the bill very reasonable. I will return and I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Bedford.

Food was great loads of flavour 😋

Lovely little place. Very friendly staff and excellent service. We had the Thai experience for 2 which was £27 per person and is ideal if you want to try out different dishes.

Nice Thai restaurant. Good menu selection. I had Chicken Pad Kee Mao which was spicy and great for my palette, my daughter had Chicken Gaeng Massaman Curry which was delicious. Lots of Chicken which was very tender. They do lots of takeaway which was slowing service for those dining in it seemed.

My previous experience dining at Tana Thai was nothing short of faultless and second to none in both service and the quality of authentic Thai food served. So I had high expectations for my second visit and was not left disappointed. We ordered the Thai experience for 2 for £27, which in my opinion was excellent value for money.The staff once again were welcoming and accomodating ensuring we had an enjoyable and pleasant dining experience. Tana Thai manages to deliver a varied menu with generous portion sizes. If your looking for authentic Thai flavours with subtle flavour combinations of hot, spicy, sweet, and sour then Thana Thai gets a A+ from me every time. We will definitely back in the future.My friend and I dined at Tana Thai for the first time tonight, we were not disappointed. We have dined at other Thai restaurants in Bedford and would certainly place Tana Thai along side the best of them for flavour and authenticity. The service from the staff was both friendly and prompt. The mixed starter for two was filling and tasty, with the Thai spring rolls certainly being the star of the show. We ordered beef in black bean sauce with egg fried rice and a mixed seafood pad thai. The beef was succulent and tender and the seafood was cooked perfectly with a mixture of crushed nuts on the side for texture. An excellent meal and excellent service, thank you.

Forgive the bright purple exterior and you will have an amazing meal here. The food and service was top class. I had special ribs which were delicious and a decent size starter portion and it was a treat to have some Thai desserts on the menu too, banana fritters were awesome!

Brilliant place, really lovely service from the minute we have entered until we have left. The atmosphere was really cosy, right vole of music and lighting.The food, needless to say, was fantastic, we had starters, main and desert and everything was tasty. I would consider it is priced well, and the quality is extra.
