The Little Buddha

I now know why the Buddha is little - hunger.

We ordered online through eatnowbrighton.co.uk and got three phone calls because the driver was lost. This is even more unimpressive since the restaurant is about a three minute walk away.

The food was luke warm. We ordered: 2 x Pad-Ka-Pao (Chilli Sauce Dish), Khow-Plaw (Steamed Rice), Peek-Kai-Tod (Chicken Wings)

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GET THE CHICKEN WINGS! Three tiny pieces of bone. Half of the container has some deep-fried unidentifiable vegetables so that they could maximise their £4.

The Pad-Ka-Pao didn't taste awful, but were watery and full of limp vegetables and curled up bits of bland. Also, each dish was about £6 and you got about a third of what you would if you were to order an equivalent dish from an Indian.

Basically, we ordered a small amount of low-quality food for £18.

I love Thai food, but this was horrendous. It took the delivery man ages to find our place, even though it was very close to the restaurant and on a main, well lit street, so the food was somewhat cold by the time it got to us. The portions were tiny for what they charged and they used far, far too many onions. They were also both very watery even though there were not curries, and Thai non-curries are rarely liquid at all. Also, the chicken wings seemed to include seafood even though it didn't state that anywhere.

It is a pity as I'd love a good Thai takeaway in Brighton, but I think I will be sticking with sit down restaurants unless somewhere new and good pops up.

Came in here recently, food was ok, service was ok, but there was a big group next to us. Had our meal, then we got the bill... Anyone that knows 7 dials may know there is a big board outside saying "buy one get one free main courses 7 days a week". On a busy Friday night, which this was, the sign had vanished and we were being charged full price for the meals. When we confronted the waiter about this, he argued that the offer hadn't been run for a couple of months, even though my friend who walks past it every day had seen it there the day before and was also back outside on the following Monday. It left a bitter taste in the mouth. So if you're going to run a 7 day a week offer, don't decide when you're going to honour it.

Was really disapointed with the food.I gueess if you are a student or want a cheap night out then this place might suit (You could probably get a job there as a chef if you went more than once). All in all there are many better places to eat thai in Brighton and i cant think of any that are worse,so use the guide and avoid dissapointment.
