Royal Thai Orchid

Beautiful restaurant and friendly, accomodating staff. Starter for two was delicious. Main meal was very spicy despite only having a 'chilli rating' of one! Doesn't bother me as I'm a big fan of hotter dishes but others should beware! Pavlova desert was excellent. Bit pricey but hey, this is Sherborne ;)

Visited on opening night and had a fantastic meal. Shared Starter for 2 was excellent and had a wide variety of items to sample. The mains tasted wonderful and were beautifully presented. A fantastic addition to Sherborne town centre and will definitely return again soon. A definite must go place to eat, very highly recommended.

Totally disappointed. Arrived to order a takeaway at 6.30pm to a strangely rude welcome. Our order was taken in an unfriendly, awkward way, which we had to ask to be done more than once (there were two tables in the restaurant at the time so they were not busy!) Arrived home, unpacked and tasted our order (thai green prawn curry, chicken cashew, chicken satay and veg spring rolls) and it was thoroughly low grade with poor quality ingredients, and badly packaged with endless clingfilm and spillages. An expensive mistake (£35 to feed 2 people very modestly) - never again.
