S	Simon Wellborne on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Thai Country Cafe is a real gem of Tawa. Good menu with plenty of choices. Generous meal size without being stupidly large and they'll doggy-bag any remainder.
P	Phill Hart on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've read some of the reviews tonight before reviewing. We had a pleasant meal here. The food was Ok, a little under generous on the meat I'd say, especially compared to some other places that I've eaten. Also we both found the mains we ordered were a little lacking in wow factor. I feel bad pointing this out but perhaps it would be good to ask customers about spice level so it can be catered for on a case by case. Ours were completely lacking in any kind of heat or any punch flavors. For some this will be a blessing, but for me I'd rather have the option. On to the good parts: the Atmosphere was lovely. The place was clean and tidy. The service was very good too. Attentive and friendly. Also the food came out promptly. There were lots of menu options (probably too many in my opinion) and the price was reasonable but we did have to pay extra for rice which (as I've already seen commented on) is not a "biggie" but should be incorporated into the meal price - I think. Parking was readily available. It's hard being in the restaurant business. There is a lot of competition and the margins are difficult. This place has a lot of potential. I see a lot of hard work has already gone into making this place what it is. I feel the best way of taking it to the next step would be to zing up the food a bit more. Check out the competition out there and see what they're up to. Perhaps it was just what we ordered - but I just left wanting something more memorable. Next time - I might try the curries out of curiosity? Keep up the hard work and don't be afraid to shake things up!
R	Reon Veale on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Can't rate the food, because the whole experience was poor. Rang to order four meals for pickup and was told it would take 30 minutes. Got there and paid and was told it was going to be another 10 minutes. After 30 more minutes I was offered a single meal for someone else. They had given my order to someone else. I was offered to have my food cooked in 10 minutes, but as I had waited 60+ minutes already I was not ready to have food cooked in a third of the time originally. Could I get a refund the same way I paid? Nope. Told the error happened because they were busy. The cafe was about a quarter full. 60 plus minute wait for nothing. Disappointed.
A	Adrianna Biernacka on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very average meal, I guess you get what you pay for. It was after 8pm and we were the only customers inside so to tell us it is time to go they have turned the music up.
D	Doug Hazlewood on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good food and great service, very friendly staff, we will return soon ?
F	Ferry Hendrikx on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely atmosphere and lovely food. The dishes seem authentic, and both look and taste great. We've been here a few times and it's always been good. We'd certainly recommend this place for a nice evening out. They have a children's menu for the little ones.
C	Chris Tillman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice dinner, no booking needed on Tuesday. Very tasty food and a great house wine provided!
C	Croonyer Zoonyer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Horribly understaffed. Not prioritising people in order of arrival/ordering. Takeaways were ordered just after opening and took an hour to come out. Multiple items missing from takeout order. Zero apologies. Will not be returning.
