What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Tongdam Thai Restaurant is widely celebrated for its exceptional and authentic Thai cuisine, with many hailing it as the best they've tasted, even in Thailand. Diners particularly love the personalized service, the cozy outdoor courtyard, and the impressive handling of dietary needs. However, one review detailed a significantly negative experience with poor organization and customer service during a busy period, leading to a very disappointing evening.
"Thai has always been my favourite cuisine but no matter where I go in the UK, nothing compares to this little slice of paradise. The food is exceptional and the setting unrivalled. It’s the only place me and my husband go to without speaking - because we are too busy eating. Don’t question it. Just book it!"

"We wanted a takeaway to celebrate our Anniversary, we were not disappointed at all. We were able to book and pay over the phone, and walk around and collect from our campsite. The food was exceptional and taste delicious. Beautiful presentation even though it was takeaway. They also catered for gluten intolerance too. Thank you"

"We have been a few times when on holiday and this place has always pleased and has just got better and better. Our recent visit was superb. We sat outside in a beautiful outdoor courtyard and were treated to excellent service from the two friendly local girls who served us with the excellent food which I can honestly describe as perfection and certainly the best i have tasred outside of Thailand. If you can find it give this place a go, you will not be dissapointed"

Dulverton | A Visitor's Guide
If you’re looking for something spicier than quintessential British pub food, we recommend Tongdam Thai, in the heart of Dulverton. It’s in a classic Exmoor white washed cottage building, but has touches of the oriental decor inside. There’s also some lovely outdoor seating underneath a pergola lush with green vines & wise old wisteria.
