Khomkhai Thai Cuisine - High Peak

Takeaway or delivery restaurant in Buxton. Was excited to see lots of clearly labelled vegan options on menu but deflated to hear that they were out of tofu that day! This was only minutes after opening time too. Considering most of the vegan dishes had it at their heart this was disappointing. Had the green curry and sticky rice which was nice.

I had yellow tofu curry and coconut rice and a vegan pad Thai. By far the best Thai meal I've ever had. Came to about £12 and was more than 2 of us could eat for one meal. Highly recommend this takeaway.

Reviews seemed to suggest that the restaurant can veganize most dishes. However, on checking, my partner and I were informed that only the Thai yellow curry and pad thai were truly vegan. All other sauces/fries contained shrimp paste and/or oyster sauce. The head-staff then informed us that she could make most dishes vegan by removing the shrimp paste and when we chose one such dish, she told us it would taste bland as by being vegan, we had lost out on the Thai flavours. This was quite an unsettling statement for us and left us feeling alienated and upset. Having had truckloads of authentic Thai food outside and at home, it is no secret that seafood is absolutely unnecessary to emulate Thai flavours. Most asian restaurants, even in small towns, are shifting to plant based ingredients where possible to be inclusive. In such an atmosphere, this restaurant seems to be lagging far behind. We did eventually have the Veg Tempura with sweet chilli sauce and the Thai yellow curry with Jasmine rice. Both dishes tasted very good and the portion sizes were decent. However, the lack of inclusivity and their inability to make most dishes suitable to those who are plant based goes directly against what was advertised.

Perhaps the best Thai restaurant where I was in Thailand. my children in the age of 9 11 years have been talking about it since, they loved thinner ribs and tears.

Loved our padthai and escape with sweetness! portion could be a little small if they are really hungry. Otherwise, eating the personal and the ambiente are excellent.
