Ban Thai Restaurant in Darmstadt

Finally, a Thai restaurant where you don't get a stomach ache after eating Pad Thai! There are plenty of vegan options.

Today we went out to eat again and, as always, were looking forward to the food. Unfortunately, this time it was a total disappointment. I'm adjusting my rating from 5* to 2*. The quality has declined considerably. When I inquired, I was told that a new chef was now working. I hope things will improve. What a shame...

High recommend this restaurant if you like Thai food

Warm hospitality and great food. It was birthday and they made my evening to an amazing warm and pleasant one !!

Freundlicher Service und leckeres Essen, dazu einen Thai-Eistee, was will man mehr. Etwas Luft nach oben ist noch, aber ein Besuch lohnt sich definitiv. Tisch vorbestellen ist wichtig, denn hier ist es abends immer voll.

Unfortunately, this evening wasn't a brilliant performance. Firstly, the drinks took a very long time to arrive, and secondly, 25% of the food was forgotten. The food arrived so late for three people that the first person was almost finished by the time the second person received their food, and the third person's food was completely forgotten. Unfortunately, the taste wasn't great either. Rather below average. I hope this was just a very bad day and others have better experiences.

I always order Pad Thai to go..unfortunately the quality has gone down a bit for the same price..no longer the typical Pad Thai as I know it..a pity...it used to be a bit wider noodle and nicely fried..this time it was like a normal fried noodle 🥴

Very Good atmosphere and the food was tasting so nice

Ordered takeaway food...was told to wait 45 minutes...still not ready after 60 minutes

Very delicious food, definitely recommended! The staff is also very friendly.

Been going there for few times now. Always ordered the same thing and loved it. This time, the rice was undercooked. I tried a few spoons and I couldn’t eat it. Mentioned it to waitress and response was “we don’t have other rice”. No solutions, alternatives, nothing . Paid and left hungry.

Highly recommended! The food tastes delicious and the service is great! We'll definitely be back😊

I've been eating here for years and it's the place to go when I want to enjoy Thai food.

A very authentic Thai restaurant. You feel like you're in Thailand. You can sit at a regular table or take a "Thai table" and sit traditionally on the floor (with comfortable cushions, of course). The food was delicious and truly authentic Thai cuisine! They even offer vegetarian and vegan dishes, so everyone is welcome and can enjoy the delights of Thai cuisine. The staff was also very friendly, helpful, and extremely hospitable. They had no problem with any special requests and always made sure everything was in order. I highly recommend this restaurant! You're missing out if you haven't been there! ;)

It feels a bit like Thailand. Suuuupi

Even after many years, it's still a great Thai restaurant - the curries are especially recommended!

Very delicious food. I really enjoy picking up food here, but you can also sit in the restaurant and enjoy the delicious food.

Warning! Parking is almost nonexistent! Hence, another point deducted for that! Now for the food... the food was really great! I can recommend it, but what I didn't like was the wait to get a seat... and then they sat us right next to the restrooms. The smell was so awful... I couldn't enjoy the food... hence, another point deducted.

The food is always delicious and good there. I recommend the papaya salad.

The chicken curry was delicious. Finding a seat, ordering, and paying—everything went smoothly. The portion was just too large. A curry is best eaten by two people. The restaurant's interior is beautifully decorated. But it's located in the ugly part of Darmstadt. So, it's best to look inside ;)

Very tasty food and good value for money.

This was the first restaurant I tried when I came to Darmstadt while looking for a good curry spot. The food was super tasty and the portions were generous. I especially loved the curry and pad thai. The Thai lemon tea is my absolute favorite drink. The place gets quite busy, so it’s a good idea to book a table in advance.

Absolutely recommended. A lot of Thais eat here. Good atmosphere, delicious food, lots of vegetarian dishes and very nice staff. Always my pleasure.

Best Thai restaurant in Darmstadt. Super nice service. Delicious food. Diverse offer. I always enjoy coming to Ban Thai.

Very nice atmosphere. The food is excellent. The best Thai food I've eaten in Germany so far. Highly recommended

Best place in the area to get Thai food. Truly authentic and during their lunch hours/take out, they have incredibly reasonable prices for their high quality. 10/10. I go there every few weeks and have never been disappointed. The staff, the atmosphere —just everything is great.

Really very satisfied, the taste was great, the service and the atmosphere were good. Gladly again👍🏻

Great lunch menu, with excellent value, even on Saturdays. Friendly service and very nice decor.

Yes, the food is always very good and delicious. The prices are also very reasonable and affordable.

Highly recommended, food very tasty and above all large portions. Staff friendly and attentive 👍👍👍

very tasty food and good service. I had 2 starters and 2 main courses, the portions were large and I thought the prices were good. I paid €60 for two people with drinks. I can only recommend the restaurant.

Great Thai cuisine at fair prices. The service is great and here you can get the best Tom Kha Gai in Darmstadt.

Food is good and the service is friendly. You should make a reservation, otherwise you may not get a seat. The food is glutamate-free, very good. Only the fried food tastes fried and you should only eat it if you like that too.

Consistently good quality and large portions.

Great food! I ordered curry and it was amazing!! 100% recommended, good price.

Delicious food. Price performance is also okay. You should always reserve in advance.

Very tasty food. Good value for money.

Good and tasty, with friendly service.

Very good👍👍 everyone was very nice and friendly 🥰🥰 the food was also delicious

The most authentic Thai restaurant in the region

Super tasty, super nice and great dishes

On Friday I was in this restaurant and ordered a curry. Unfortunately, the food was relatively tasteless and very bland - the sweet and sour sauces tasted like water. Since I wasn't particularly hungry, I only ate a little of it. There was therefore a large amount left in the curry serving bowl (more than half!), while there was only a small portion on my plate. As we were about to leave the restaurant, I asked the waiter to pack up the rest of my food - especially the curry and rice in the bowls. As I said, I had eaten less than half of my curry. The waiter assured me that he would be happy to do that. However, when I got home, I noticed that he had only packed me the small amount from my plate - but not the curry and rice, which was still in the serving bowl, even though I had asked for it. I'm stunned... For a dish that costs over €20, I expect not only more taste, but also that what I didn't eat is given to me in full and not just the little leftovers on my plate tiny storage container... I find that absolutely outrageous. You pay a lot of money for a mediocre curry here and are then deprived of the food you paid for. I definitely won't visit this restaurant again. Value for money and service are simply disappointing here.

Great atmosphere, nice waiters and the food is really tasty. Authentic spiciness and especially the starter platter for several people is recommended! The furnishings are quaint, space between neighbors is sometimes a bit tight. 8.9/10 would visit again.

Ban Thai is an outstanding restaurant. I have never eaten such authentic Thai cuisine in Germany. The papaya salad is particularly recommended. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants! The ambience and the friendly staff also contribute to a successful meal. 5 stars!

The dishes are an interpretation of Thai cuisine. Too salty with an aftertaste that could have been baking soda. The cocktails are an expensive joke. They consist of a glass filled with ice with a background drink. Disappointed .

Super friendly staff, food comes reliably quickly and is extremely tasty. Highly recommended!

Picked up the food. Main course (fried vegetables in oyster sauce with chicken) was inedible. Rice was a sticky lump. Vegetables were overcooked to the max. Glass noodle salad was good. Spring rolls were good too.

The food tastes really delicious and the price-performance ratio is also good 👍🏻 I would definitely come back!

Pretty good overall. The dishes were quite good for a more than reasonable price. However, they are not really spicy, even if described as such. The service was rather average with an impatient server. The atmosphere was good but there was a strong smell from the kitchen and it was a bit heavy in the room. I still recommend eating for lunch because of the good prices and hearty dishes.

Mega authentic Thai restaurant! Super tasty food and great service. Everyone is sooo nice :)

A place with very good Thai food of unchanged quality for decades.

This is where you get the best Asian food in the area. No matter whether on site or by delivery - everything has always been great so far :)

Everything was great, but I wasn't familiar with these "deep" seats at the small tables and only realized after I put my feet under them that there was a hole for my feet.

The price-performance ratio is right here.

I visited this store today and unfortunately I have to say that it doesn't suit my taste or that of my companion either. The starters (chicken skewers and beef skewers) were hardly seasoned, the sauces for the starters were very diluted and not really tender, but rather bland. The main courses were poorly seasoned and unappetizing. The chicken in the dishes was only cooked and barely or not at all fried. All in all, I won't visit this store again. The prices take some getting used to and tend to be too high for what you get. Nevertheless, tastes are different and I ask everyone to convince themselves of this.

Wir sind spontan zum Mittagessen hier gewesen. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und unsere Extrawünsche für die Kleinen waren auch kein Problem. Die Speisen sind wirklich gut.

A good choice and the service is good too. I ordered my meals over the phone, but it takes about half an hour to order. Other than that everything was fine. The place is clean and the food is fresh and tasty. I recommend the chicken dish A17: It consists of sliced ​​chicken strips with colorful peppers in a Thai spice cream, served with white rice. A delicious and filling dish for one person. I can only recommend it.

Been there again for a long time and it was delicious. Everything fresh and really good. The price was also right.

We waited for 20 mins in the garden area and no one attended us. I spoke to a guy at the bar and told him that we are waiting for someone to take order. Still no one came and then we just walked out to another restaurant. The place was not even that full for the waiters to be super busy to just take our order.

Very tasty food, but also a bit more expensive in terms of price. Great, authentic atmosphere.

I recently visited the Thai restaurant “Ban Thai” in Darmstadt and have to say that in my opinion it is the best Thai restaurant in the city. I've been a regular for some time and have already tried various curry dishes. Each one was a complete delight and always impressed me with its taste. The flavors are beautifully balanced and the freshness of the ingredients can be clearly tasted. We also particularly recommend the Thai iced tea, which is perfectly prepared here with its refreshing note and is a highlight every time. The ambience of “Ban Thai” is another reason why I always like to come here. The interior is lovingly and traditionally Thai, giving the restaurant a cozy and authentic atmosphere. I would particularly like to highlight the seat recesses, which offer a great alternative to conventional tables and chairs. They are perfect for smaller groups of up to four people and create an intimate, relaxed seating area that I personally really appreciate. Another plus point is the excellent service. The staff are always extremely friendly and attentive without seeming intrusive. They ensure that you as a guest feel completely comfortable and contribute significantly to the pleasant atmosphere. The location of the “Ban Thai” in downtown Darmstadt is also ideal. The restaurant is easily accessible and is ideal for a visit after a stroll through the city or a day at work. All of these factors together make Ban Thai an outstanding place for me to enjoy authentic Thai cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Prices different than on the menu

Unfortunately that was nothing! Beer and water more lukewarm than really cold. The supposedly crispy duck turned wobbly in the sauce, as did some of the mushrooms. The beef dish with beans was completely lacking (tasteless and the meat was tough as a shoe sole). Despite returning one dish, we had to pay for everything in full, and there was at least a verbal apology. We won't be coming back.

Don't order a salad!!!!!!!!!! You get soup with coriander flavor. I waited 45 minutes for a salad that wasn't even good??!?!?!!!?!?!

Wir waren am Donnerstag da ( 01.08.24) Seitdem geht mir schlecht. Ich habe Durchfall fühle mich nicht gut . Das Essen haben wir gleich bemerkt das es überhaupt nicht frisch war ( Reis , Curry ) Der Reis war so zusammen geklebt , matschig, und hat man geschmeckt das es von mindestens Vortag war. Curry war auch nicht besonders und hat alles irgendwie nach Alt geschmeckt. Wir waren zum erstmal da , und wollten wir nicht gleich was sagen . Vor allem wir werden sowieso nie wieder hin .

By far one of the restaurants in the area. My opinion: definitely worth a detour!

Terrible, terrible food. No idea why this place has such good reviews. Avoid it and go somewhere else - I struggled to finish my plate because it was so bad, really shocking a place like this is in business for so long.

Super tasty food in very large portions. The iced tea is particularly recommended. At peak times you may have to wait a bit for food, but it's worth it

Very authentic food in a nice atmosphere and with nice service. We always like to come ;)

The best Thai food I know is served here. It's shocking that there are people who give one star less because they don't like the cutlery. Extremely delicious! Great staff! I feel comfortable here and will always come back.

The food was good, service was mediocre and we were happy that we didn't want to drink anymore and paid.

Very friendly staff and the food tastes excellent. There is an extra lunch and pick-up menu. If you want to eat on site, we recommend making a reservation in good time, as the restaurant is often very busy.

Nice shop and recommended. Quality 1A. Food is freshly prepared and tastes extremely delicious. The portions are very large! You can even eat a dish for two. Large selection of authentic Thai cuisine. Slightly disappointed with the spring rolls for starters. Unfortunately, these were not homemade like you would find in other Thai restaurants. More like 0815. Unfortunately, the waiting time for the food to arrive was exactly 60 minutes. (Not the first time) Service and drinks were top and polite. Absolutely within the price range and not overpriced. The interior is a bit old and very rustic. Always my pleasure!

Good Thai cuisine in Darmstadt, fresh and delicious! Unfortunately we showed up without a reservation and were therefore only able to stay for a limited time, without dessert or cocktails, which looked delicious. Next time be sure to book a table in advance 😉

Thai food restaurant with below thai food standards,also the service not so friendly, workers are so cold no smile

Delicious! Be sure to make a reservation, it's usually pretty full here! Large portions, great value for money!

We had a wonderful meal. All the dishes tasted excellent, and we also really liked the drinks. First class service and nice ambience. We'd love to come back.

Some old server not so friendly, hoping can be improved for better experience, FnB need good attitude not just food

The food was super tasty and we both enjoyed it. The portions are very large, we almost didn't finish them. The ambience is special and the service is excellent. Had a great time there. And that's the case every time.

When we walked into the shop, we were greeted very nicely by the staff and taken to our table. The little woman with short hair was very nice and professional and gave us advice according to our taste. The food was very tasty and warm. Exactly how we wanted it. Now complaining is at a high level. You can replace the cutlery so that it cuts again. I will definitely come again. You can only recommend it.

Big fan of Ban Thai! Authentic meals and there's even space where you can sit at a lower set table without wearing your shoes. We enjoyed shrimp crackers and vegetarian spring rolls to split and I had the pad see ew. Everything was well prepared and service was very kind.

Mostly on a week day, it is not so crowded after 13:30 but making reservation is highly recommended. This is the nearest Thai restaurant to us so we have to accept it.

Consistent quality for years. Sometimes it is quite crowded on the weekend, but sometimes it is manageable. The service and the boss have always been very nice. As far as cleanliness is concerned, we have not yet had any cause for criticism. The only thing that really needs to be renovated are the toilets. I think the portions are reasonable for the price and consistently tasty. The main courses are also good (I can recommend duck in every variation). Price performance is 100% right here.

Lots of choice of food, friendly service, ambience traditional and quite dark. Food with different levels of spiciness. Dishes also vegetarian and vegan.

Good Asian food. Huge selection on the menu. Friendly staff. Reservation makes sense. Prices rather expensive.

Absolutely amazing food. Always my pleasure

A cozy Thai restaurant. The food is delicious and the portions are large. There is a large selection of food. The plate with lots of small appetizers was great to try.

Super gutes Essen! Preis Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut, auch bei den Getränken. Nette Bedienung! Gut besucht, man sollte reservieren.

Original Thai cuisine with the best ingredients, very nice ambience and friendly service, recommended

It is difficult to find a spot without booking in advance. Very good restaurant with good food. Recommended!!

Good Thai! Food very tasty! Friendly service! There is always room for improvement.

Very nice service, dishes more unusual than in a run-of-the-mill restaurant, food came super quickly and stays warm on the "grill" very well. In addition, the restaurant is simply beautifully decorated!

Tough meat, bad service. Not again.

Best Thai food in all Darmstadt, probably best restaurant in this city as well, it’s just so good, above the expectations 😍😍

Visit on February 24th, 2024, around 1 p.m. Good quality food in a well-kept, attractive atmosphere with friendly staff at very moderate prices. Cheap lunch menu also on Saturday. Rice could have been a little warmer, but otherwise great. Staff very quick. Meaty main course in an extremely filling portion size for 12 euros. Soft drink (0.4 L) for a reasonable €3.80.

Good food, service is very friendly, atmosphere is pleasant!

Went there again after a long time, the food was delicious as always.

The food is really (!!!) great, the atmosphere is authentic and beautiful. Service is good, but there are definitely two or three areas that could be improved

Firstly, even if it is shown to be wheelchair accessible, unfortunately it is not. A wheelchair won't fit through the narrow door because it's right around the corner and the door doesn't open all the way. The extremely long wait (they probably forgot about us) was worth it, it was very tasty. Oh and the toilet is also not accessible with a wheelchair (too narrow).

The food is fantastic, the portions are very large. The prices are fair, especially the lunch menu offers a great selection at good prices. The staff is very friendly and attentive.
