Gaab Kao Thai Restaurant in Tonbridge and Malling

We enjoyed lunch, red curry with chicken and rice and Thai rice with chicken both sided by spring rolls, and Jasmine tea. The place was clean, quiet and with good service. The food was mildly spiced with good flavor and served hot and fresh.

Food was amazing, atmosphere was lovely and chilled and the service was quick and friendly! Will definitely recommend! The sabai sabai cocktails are a must and go perfectly with the jungle curry!

Nice Thai food , good service. Friday night was busy though and with only two front of house staff to cope , inevitably things slowed down a bit as the evening progressed. Food was very tasty though .

Had a delicious take away from here. They have options for gluten free - highly recommend the drunken man noodles

Very tasty food indeed with an excellent lunch menu. Great service too - we’ll definitely keep coming back!

We went late on Tuesday knowing we were pushing it to get food before the kitchen closed. There was no problem, and I can honestly say that the food was some of the best food, or any cuisine, I've ever eaten. Fantastic. Service was wonderful too.

Nice Thai restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat... Fast and friendly service...

Avoid if vegetarian. Good service considering we were a large group. The food is really good, HOWEVER some apparent veggie options on the menu are not vegetarian which I have only realised after reading another review which states the other reviewer double checked what was veggie/ vegan and none of the mains are veggie let alone vegan as they contain fish or shrimp paste! Including the veggie spring rolls which I am sure were labelled vegetarian. I told the waitress when we ordered that myself and my partner are vegetarian and she said nothing about the food not being veggie which I think is completely out of order. Had I realised at the time I would not have ordered the curry or the spring rolls. We asked for tempura vegetables which was not on the menu but they did it anyway (hopefully that actually was veggie). No vegan options on the menu at all. They need more detail on their menu such as allergens and whether something is actually veggie or vegan as they offer vegetable options with the currys but it's not clear to the customer the curry sauce is NOT vegetarian. I mean they must realise that most people asking for a curry with vegetables is going to be a vegetarian! It does say on the menu to ask them if you have allergies (not if you are vegan/ veggie). It would be fairer and more respectful to customers to see that information up front and much less misleading. If they could do a sauce or main without the shrimp paste I would go back but otherwise I will not be returning as it is not a vegetarian or vegan friendly place and they basically intentionally mislead you as another reviewer has complained about the same thing and they have done nothing about it.-With regards to the response below I am still not happy I told the waitress we were vegetarians, I didn't realise that I needed to give her a speech on exactly what that means and what 'type' of vegetarian we are! Vegetarians do not eat fish if you eat fish you are not a vegetarian - that is a fact! Pescatarian is the term for people who eat fish but not other meat. Your menu is poorly labelled why don't you just make it clear on the menu - is that really so hard to do? You have had two lots of feedback about this but are still insisting that vegetarians need to have a discussion with you about their diet and exactly what they will or won't eat instead of clearly being able to read what your food contains on your menu like 99% of other restaurants so they can make an informed choice. And the spring rolls were advertised as vegetarian when they are not so that is lying. I'm so unhappy with the response below I wouldn't trust this place if you are veggie or have allergies.

This is an excellent place to eat in our little town. I’ve been here several times and it’s my # 1 recommended place in Tonbridge.Last time I visited, I was joined by a friend who used to live in Thailand and she found it very good and authentic.My absolute favourite is the papaya salad but no matter what you order I’m sure you will get it just right.

Really, really pleasantly surprised! Food is awesome, service is very friendly and fast! Wanted something very hot and spacy and was not disappointed at all! Rarely repeat the same restaurant when traveling, but this one will do... Definitely!
