My favourite dish at Erawann Thai has been the same since I first discovered it over a decade ago. I just can't go past ordering their delicious panang red chicken curry with crushed peanuts. It's always on point and is my go-to dish when I'm working late in town. What can I say I'm a creature of habit!

Great food. Great Service. Definitely will be back

Best Tom Yam soup in the world!

Loved the food at Erawan. Was my first visit last night and really enjoyed the duck curry that I ordered. Also the food that the others at my table ordered were really well received. The service could have been better but it was quite busy. Will definitely go there again. It does get busy on a weekend night so booking in advance would be a good idea.

The food is good and the prices are reasonable. My starter of crispy fried bread with minced prawns and pork was particularly yummy. My curry was tasty too. The only negative was that for a large group the timing wasnt great in that some people in the group got their dishes well before others. Overall though I would say it was a good experience and I would go back again.

Best panang curry by miles. Beautiful surroundings and surprisingly affordable. My first choice when choosing to eat Thai.

The thing that sets it apart from the rest is the noodles. Nice, thick, perfectly cooked noodles reminiscent of my fab Thai restaurant of all time - Kanniga’s in ChCh. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and it is in a great location for picking up telephone orders.

Went there on Saturday night and the atmosphere was great but I thought the food lacked a touch. Still, a great night had by all!
