WELCOME TO THAI EDGE RESTAURANTS
Arguably the best Thai restaurant chain in the UK, Thai edge is offering a world class restaurant in a unique setting which complements Thai culture within modern oriental design.
Our Head chef Jeensanthai Mit (Taiman) has created the menu at Thai Edge which is a marriage of centuries old Oriental and European influences harmoniously combined with a unique taste, full of colour and vibrancy where the high of the fresh ingredients is never disguised.
At Thai Edge, we aim to provide the very best in Thai cuisine in a special contemporary Oriental setting, providing the most exciting and memorable dining experience outside of Asia
Thai cuisine is popular for its subtle blending of flavours, utilising herbs and roots such as lemon grass, basil, coriander, galangal, krachai, ginger, garlic and chillies.
THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT TRADITIONAL STYLES OF THAI COOKING, EACH PREPARED, COOKED AND PRESENTED IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH THE SURROUNDINGS
NORTHERN CUISINE is rich and mild, making good use of coconut milk and green curry.
NORTH-EASTERN CUISINE is spicy. Dried chillies feature in the red curry, an influence of both Laos and Cambodia.
CENTRAL CUISINE for those with a mild palate, concentrates on the use of coconut,lemon and basil leaves (influenced by the Chinese).
SOUTHERN CUISINE the spiciest food of all, influenced by Malaysia and India.Thai cuisine has no strict rules about eating, and there are no set courses as in the West. All the dishes are served at the same time, allowing everyone around the table to choose from a variety of flavours and textures. Dishes are not eaten in any particular order. The dishes should be as varied as possible-mild with spicy, grilled with soupy and fish accompanying meat. The rule of thumb is the more variety the better. The absolute minimum is a soup and two main dishes – with rice of course.
Rice is the essential component of any meal, and because of the effort Thai farmers put into growing it, it is regarded with respect, not to be wasted – every last grain to be eaten.
NOT ALL THAI FOOD IS SPICY OR HOT, HOWEVER, WE HAVE INDICATED USING A CHILLI RATING, WHERE NECESSARY, HOW SPICY YOUR DISH WILL BE.
= Very spicy,
= Moderately spicy,
= Mildly spicy
We can adjust the spiciness of your food to suit all palates. Please ask
Please note that many Thai dishes are prepared with peanuts, or contain nut products.
