Narai Thai Palace in Maidstone

Ate dinner here and had lovely authentic Thai food. Staff were friendly and helpful and food was lovely. Also a good selection for vegetarians . Recommended.

Absolutely incredible food, the best I have had in a very long time and really friendly service too.

Great traditional food particularly when you ask for proper Thai spice. Staff are great and some good wines too.

Lunch time visit quality quick service very cheap and as always beautiful food , small environment making it intimate and warm welcoming highly recommended

I have a peanut allergy and I told them not to put any nuts in the food, because I am deathly allergic to nuts but they still put cashews in it. If it was not in a container I might have eaten it and had a severe reaction. i recomeend you not to come here.

Always enjoy dining out in this little gem of a restaurant. The food is always so yummy and my husband and sons always want to come here to eat. Staff are always very polite and helpful. Just wanted to say that tonight’s service was exceptional and very thoughtful. On learning it was our Anniversary the owner/manager gave us a small glass of complimentary fizz and also a small dessert too. Such lovely and thoughtful gestures that were much appreciated.

Cannot believe the shocking service of this restaurant. We booked a table for 3 of us for 6pm and when we arrived we were abruptly told we would have to leave by 7.30pm as they said they had a big table arriving (no hello or welcome) which we agreed to as we felt this was enough time. The waitress took our drinks order and then asked for our food order within 5 minutes of arriving, and we asked for a few more minutes. She came back after 30 seconds and we asked for a few more minutes, and she would not leave us, so she stood over us whilst we tried to hastily make a decision. Which is a shame as we planned to have 6 or 7 starters between us so we could all share and try bits.. but we had 1 each instead.We ordered our starters and mains.Food came out quickly and tasted good. No complaints about the food. As soon as one of us finished, the plate was taken and this meant leaning over the person still eating to get to it!The mains came out quickly and two waitresses hovered around us looking at our places and then kept looking at the clock. They stood in very close proximity to us the entire time. They seemed very anxious to have us gone, even though there was plenty of time. At no point did anyone ask us how the food was or if we wanted more drinks. Again, as soon as a plate or bowl was empty, it was gone, and again lots of leaning right over the person eating.When the meal was finished, all plates were gone and the bill was brought out swiftly without us asking for it. No offer of dessert or coffees.. it was 7.10pm at this point.. so we weren't sure of the rush and only 1 other table was occupied the whole time we were there.We came here because we were having a catch up after a long time and wanted to have a lovely experience, we chose this restaurant because we thought the reviews indicated it was one of the best. Really confused at why our service was so bad. We ended up having to find a place for a drink after so we could chat. We certainly will not be back here...!!

Very quite as I was the only one at the restaurant that evening. Possibly because a little late. Good food. I did not really understand the bill and when enquired I received unclear explanation. Possibly I will return again

I can count on one hand the amount of Thai meals that I’ve had this side of the Land of Smiles, and this is largely due to the fact that the Thai cuisine we get over here, just doesn’t come close to what you get over there. Narai Thai Palace however, is really very good. We had a fantastic meal with every dish arriving quickly, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The prices are reasonable, the service is good and the tastes are authentic. Would certainly recommend. The Seafood Salad was a particular favourite

I remember when I was a child, my family and I would go out for a meal at a restaurant that we all knew we‘d enjoyed. We knew the owners, the menu was like the back of our hands. Narai Thai Palace is just one of those places. You walk in, speak on first names terms with the staff. You walk to the cosy seating area and have a good old chin wag with friends and family. It’s an old school British Thai food institution.
