Blue Orchid Restaurant in Coventry

Reviews

   Just had a Thai Set meal takeaway. I thought "Oh! This is going to be a mistake" Well how wrong can you be? We weren't taken by the menu anywhere else and we wanted to try Blue Orchid. I don't really like Thai Green Curry as it's always a bit watery and bland (basically coconut milk). This was the best I've ever tasted. Beaitufully seasoned with authentic ingredients. The Beef in Oyster sauce was better than any Chinese I've had. Tender meat and nicely flavoured. Dishes are not bulked up with chopped carrot and onion like a lot of places. The Starter selection was very good. Nice accompaniments. All beautifully presented and arrived (despite a wait) still Hot enough that it didn't need reheating. Really pleased we chose this meal. Very much looking forward to visiting the restaurant in person.

   We didn't fancy cooking so decided to try the Blue Orchid as they offer delivery. Online ordering was easy. We opted for the Thai Set Menu. Food took just over an hour to arrive (but we live on the edge of Coventry so that's understandable). It was still hot. Mixed starters were delicious especially the chicken satay and fish cake. The green chicken curry had a good bit of spice and lovely flavour of Thai basil. The beef and oyster sauce was also lovely. All in all, a very nice meal - and great to have it delivered. A good first impression. Next time, we might eat in the restaurant itself.

   Nice restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, plus plenty of parking. The service was good and the food was nicely presented. However, the Thai dishes were milder and less authentic than expected — more suited for those new to Asian flavors. A pleasant place overall, but not the spot if you’re after truly traditional Thai spice and taste.

   Don't judge a book by it's cover. Found this amazing restaurant out walking. From outside you have no idea. Once inside, The Blue Orchid was clean & spacious. Great Thai food (only exception was I didn't ask for my pad grapow to diced up. Beef salad was amazing. Great service.

   Great dishes and service. The way the food is served and the garnishing on the garlic chicken tikka specially was a treat.They considered food intolerances and preferences as well which is a plus.

   A warm, welcoming atmosphere and busier than expected given it was a Monday. The waiter was very patient with us, as we struggled to pick from the large menu which contained two cuisines (Indian and Thai). Throughout the service was excellent and they were very hospitable. For starters, we ordered the mixed meat and veg platter. The onion bhajis were a highlight. The samosas needed a bit more flavour and punch, the meats were well cooked and tasted nice. For mains, we ordered the veg korma and duck Red Thai curry. Both were huge portions! The korma was well balanced, sweet and tasted great. The red Thai curry was on another level. A beautiful balance of spice, sweetness from the coconut and acidity from the lime. I was impressed by the amount of vegetables in both curries and the duck melted in the mouth. Given that we booked through the fork app (50% off food) it was great value. The portions were very large, waiters were excellent and the mains were fantastic.

   Very nice, first time I've been there and the food was really good and served quite fast. The restaurant is bigger than it seams and there is a nice, quite music in the background. There is also a very useful wireless system on each table to call for service, drinks, bill etc. Will definitely visit again!

   The staff was very courteous, attentative and provided good services. The Thai part of the food was good but the Indian curry wasn't the best. We had ordered few fish dishes and they were all delicious apart form one which was lacking in seasoning a bit. They sicky rice was so sticky that it wasn't edible. All in all decent evening. I defo recommended their sea food options abut avoid curries.
