    Popped in for a dinner for one. Been in before. Can’t fault the place. Great decor, service always spot on and the massaman curry was exceptional. Well done Gaab Kao. I will be back

    This a good little spot, it feels as if the owners have tried to bring the feel of a City Center eatery to slightly more rural locations, and successfully done as it’s decor is very cool. The food is good, I went for the Thai Red Curry which has a slightly creamier feel to what you may be used to and was a bit hotter (no bad thing), priced reasonably at about 12.00 inc. rice. Starters may be slightly more than you would like to pay, but again it’s good food so don’t let price detract you. Ample parking near the castle just across the road and there is a lunch menu which I reckon will be a great deal.
