Mama Thai

Stumbled upon this place by chance, but my god is it a hidden gem. This may not be Thai food, but indeed more Indian like others have said. Not that it matters much, as the food is extremely delicious (tried the lamb curry), people are friendly and the prices are very reasonable (5£ for a veggie curry and 6£ for one with meat). My new favourite go-to place for lunch :)

Was recommended this place by my local cousin. Walked in at about noon yesterday and was a bit wary as there was no one else there and it was small and not very done-up inside. The owner (I think... older man) explained all the dishes they had that day. Basically you get rice and then add your curries or dhal etc. They ask you if the rice is sufficient before piling on curries. So there were two of us and we got: Me- rice, dhal, spinach and potato dish, spicy lamb curry, poppadum Man- rice, cauliflower stir fry, coconut beef, chilli chicken, poppadum The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Just like mum's cooking. Insanely good. I had a ginger beer n the man had green tea. We also had some free onion salad. Man also had a second serving of rice and coconut beef. My cousin popped in and had a hot tea. In all, it came up to about £17. Excellent value. At the end of the meal, you take your plate to a bin n clear off any leftovers yourself and put your plate away. So impressed that man booked lunch for ten people this afternoon, his leaving lunch will be held there. Full capacity is only about 15-20 pax as it's a small space. From 12pm, the place got packed.

Probably the best curries... in the world... ever. Mama Thai do the most amazing home cooked curries. Thai-Indian fusion food that isn't too sugary like most Thai curries. The veggie ones are outta this world- pumpkin, chic pea, spinach, Okra, Aubergine, Lentil- they've got it all. You choose which ones take your fancy and they fill it right up to the top. Hugely filling and fantastic value served by the smiliest family. Don't be deceived by the exterior, this place is amazing.
