Fresh food, friendly customer service. Hot pot is a great option for groups and family. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to come back again. Alan and family. 😊

The food and service here are far beyond my expectations. The decor and settings inside are really nice, but its all about the food! The menu is very big but whatever they serve, its blew me out the park. Spices, flavours and presentation are just astounding. Highly recommended!

Lovely, cosy restaurant that was clean and good care was taken to abide by the Covid rules. The food was amazing, very tasty and it was piping hot when it came! The staff were very friendly and wore a mask at all times. The only reason for deducting a star is because we had to wait a while from when we were seated to when someone came to take our order. After a while, I noticed that a couple that came after us were served their starters before us. When I raised this with a member of staff, she said it was coming shortly but she will chase it up. They soon realised that our starters had gone to the table with the couple that came after us however we werent given an apology and had to wait for a while again before our starters came and we werent even given an apology for it.

Amazing food, good service given by a lady. When asked for suggestion - was really helpful. I would have to come back again to try more. As soon as you enter this restaurant it smells amazing. Fell in love with the smell and absolutely clean place. Highly recommend. But the only downside is if you have not booked during the weekend it is a bit tough to get in. So please book to avoid any disappointment

This place is my number one site. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. everytime I I need a fair lunch, this is the place that comes immediately to my head. Great and all sorts of food and a large menu.generous team, and pleasant vibes. Also, the bill is honest. I sent my friends to this place with pleasure.

In my opinion this is the best restaurant in Enfield. Food is spectacular, decor is lovely, the staff are all so helpful and friendly. I recommend the pork ribs starter, I could eat them even for a main course.

A good Thai place.The Tom Yum soup was amazing and authentic; had a brilliant heat with excellent balance of flavours.The Thai green curry was good although a slight disappointment. I LOVE Thai green curry, and this just didnt seem to be quite what it should be. I cant put my finger on it exactly, although I think it wasnt quite spicy enough. The chicken was a little tough too. Nevertheless, it was good, but it didnt deliver what I call my happy food vibe, which Thai green curry should do.The papaya salad was very good (despite not being authentic).Nice staff, decor and the place welcoming and well heated.This was our second visit and we will be going again. Thank you.

I went back to The Meeting this evening for the first time since lockdown and Im very happy to say that nothings changed. Yes they check your temperature and there are less tables but all the important things are still there. The staff are still helpful and friendly and the food is still delicious and reasonably priced. I went with a friend who had never been there before - she is now a convert and will be going back. Or should I say another convert - Ive taken several friends there and every one of them has loved it as much as I do. Great job folks - thank you!

A tasty local experience. Starters were greasy however and the main dishes could have been more generous with the meat in them. Other than that we will definitely be returning, as the food was enjoyable and the prices were reasonable.

Great local thai restaurant. this place clearly used to be a pub and they have converted it to a full on restaurant.Came here on a Sunday night and good thing we booked as it was very busy. Ordered the classics such as Pad Thai and Green Curry, they were scrumptious.

As a vegetarian, I would definitely recommend here. One of the waitors is vegan himself and that gives confidence in knowing your food is meat and fish free! They have a section of vegetarian dishes and so far everything has been delicious! The staff are lovely, the food is great and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Went in here for lunch without knowing what to expect. Was very pleasantly surprised. Last time I went in there it was a mediocre pub now its a very nice restaurant and the food was delicious and the lunchtime menu costs £6-95.

Ive been coming here for several years and have really enjoyed my visits. Staff are very friendly, the restaurant is spotless and nicely decorated and the food very good. The only drawback I would say is the location but perfect if you want to go for a meal before or after the cinema (just across the road)

Review №42

Definitely worth a trip or 2. The crispy duck was crispy and delicious. Yellow curry ... Again delicous. Most dishes are spicy. So if you like a good fire definitely a good choice..Im allergic to chili but still ate. Made me a little sick but TOTALLY WORTH IT :) dessert was really good. Banana fritters had a really tasty crispy costing.

I guess average is the word for this place. Most dishes taste very similarly if lemongrass and are not very authentic.The soup was very good but the remainder of the dishes were either salty, bland or greasy.If they focused more on the quality and authenticity of their dishes rather than the vegetable flowers on the plates they would have a very nice resturant.Overall, average

Review №56

Had dinner here and I believe that this is not traditional Thai food. The food was very salty and unbalanced which is what Thai cuisine traditionally does not offer. I believe they use the same base for most of their curries.It would be beneficial for the team to concentrate on the authentic dishes and scrap the 70s food plating. The menu has far too many dishes meaning that attention cannot really be paid to those dishes which should be the stars.I guess the restaurant offers an experience to those wishing to dip their toes into Thai cuisine or who do not care to have an authentic experience.

This Thai restaurant hits the mark every time, food is always spot on, lots of choice on menu and food always prompt to the table. Staff couldnt be more helpful and attentive, would definitely recommend this place if you like your Thai food, various lagers on tap too including Stella and San Miguel which makes a nice change from just bottled offerings.

Review №58

Food was incredible.Service was the opposite.Id go back regardless.Just a shame really. No smiles, not very friendly, just like miserable robots.Had to keep going up to the bar/till when we wanted something as they avoided eye contact when moving around.Maybe they were understaffed???Did I mention the food was top notch?

Loved it. Walked in unannounced and unbooked on a soon to be incredibly busy Friday night and we were offered a table politely and with the understanding wed vacate by 8pm. No problem. The venue is gorgeous. The staff are polite and efficient. The menu is huge and, even so, the food is absolutely sensational. We were served hot fresh scrumptious food in good time. And finished dead on 8pm to let the booked guests have their table. We then nipped next door to the quiet and cosy, very small pub, to have a final couple of drinks while others drank quietly, watched TV or played pool. Eclectic mix. It worked. Definitely going back.

We enjoy eating out. Last night we arrived in this fine restaurant which we didn’t know before. We had a lovely evening there with delicious meal and a professional crew and a professional chief cook. We added this fine restaurant in our phone list and we will certainly come back very soon. Highly recommended.

Been here a few times and the food is always delicious. Authentic, full of flavours and generous portions. Friendly staff. Nice, relaxing ambience. Wouldnt have known there was such a nice Thai restaurant here if I wasnt recommended by a friend! There is parking behind the restaurant but very limited spaces and pretty tight. Can always park in the retail area just opposite and walk over though.

Came here for our anniversary and it was lovely. The food was fresh and scrumptious. The only downside I would say is the parking facilities as it was a very small narrow car park and also the prices of some dishes! Other than that, it was a nice restaurant. Service was excellent!

Open grassland, ponds and wooded walks, so much rural to see, so close to Londons west end. Parking in certain areas, public transport/busses pass by. Early Autumn colours are stunning. Beware of the Golf course/balls. Wimbledon for a day trip. After a quick bite at a local I walked over to the commons. It had rained quite a bit earlier

Awful food.Spent £160 on a takeaway for 6. Red curry was like a watery plain soup, spring onions tasted stale and had no vegetables in them, fish soup tasted like dishwasher water. Tofu was not fresh either and tasted of plastic.Tonnes of plastic waste as well with all of the containers.

Wedding anniversary dinner treat. Restaurant is quite a romantic setting although larger groups catered for as well. Lovely and varied menu. Shared 4 main dishes between 2 of us. Had pad thai, duck in ginger, chicken with veg and the crab fried rice which was amazing. Had to take home leftovers as portions are a really good size. Staff also lovely and will definitely be going back. Can also get all the same dishes via takeaway menu. 10/10

Visited this venue for the first time midweek with two business colleagues. From the outside the place looks slightly tacky and run-down. Consequently, my expectations werent that high. Inside its different and the Thai restaurant to the right as you walk in looked welcoming, clean and professional. We selected a set meal for 3, (choice D) which consisted of starters and main course. The food was excellent and it was brought to our table relatively quickly. Service was attentive and welcoming and overall we had a pleasant evening. Will definitely come back.

Whenever anyone asks for a Thai recommendation, it always seems to be the Meeting that people suggest. And if youve ever been youll know why - great food, great service. I love Thai food, and this is one of my favourite places to eat it. Especially good value if you grab the lunch menu.
