Restaurant Profile

We are situated above the DIAMOND CINEMA. The stairs is to the left of the cinema entrance. (Don't let the entrance deceive you as this is not a true reading of what lies ahead. On entering THAI ORCHID AWARD WINNING RESTAURANT the decor is stunningly amazing. One forgets that they are in Navan, Co. Meath, but instead imagines they are transported to a magical tropical garden restaurant, with exotic atmosphere and ambience. Our water featrues and ponds are truly brillant. The weeping wall is a must see. A table by the beautifully colourful fish tank is in great demand with both children and adults, as are the waterside tables (when available). The owners travelled to Thailand, and personally hand picked all the antique furniture and the wide varity of artifacts . Everywhere you look there is something new to wonder at. Now to our food. Our team of Thai chefs have the glorious task of creating and preparing the mouth watering menus that we have to offer. Our menu includes a variety of sizzling dishes, curries served in traditional Thai clay curry pots and amazing stir fries, all served with hand carved sculptures, carved by our talanted chefs. The best steaks around are served for all you guys and girls who cant resist the temptation. Our food brings people back time and time again with their families and friends. Our staff have a very genuine Thai warm welcome for old and new customers. We even have a Baby Grand Piano for anybody who feels like giving the ivories a tinkle THAI ORCHID NOT JUST A MEAL OUT BUT A UNIQUE DINING EXPERIENCE

The Thai Orchid is a favourite haunt, love the food and the service is always excellent. Was pleasantly suprised when ate here on Friday night. I was always put off by the entrance to the restuarant (upstairs and accessed through what was a very dingy stair well) however, please to say that the entrance has been redecorated in bright cream with rattan panels added, the lighting has also been improved..well done! In terms of the food, excellent as always. They are now doing an early bird menu all night at 17.95 for 2 courses from the standard menu or 19.95 if you add a glass of wine. They also allow you to choose Chefs speical dishes for an additional nominal charge.Great value, great dishes and a great night out! Would recommend.

Excellent lunch menu! I ate here for the first time with a large group of colleagues last friday. There was a wide range of dishes on offer,that appealed to all of the group, ranging in spiciness. My panang chicken curry was one of the best I have had outside of Thailand, and my colleagues were pleased were their main courses too. while the starters weren't as big a hit, overall it was great tasty value for money

we eat ere a cuple of weeks ago. the place is fab in side. the food was ok the service was ok. but there was no atmosphere in the restaurant. we had a disappointing nite i have to say as i have heard good reviews about the place, the best ting about the restaurant is the deco, its fab but food and service is more important, and i found it very expensive as there are other restaurants offering the same quality food for cheeper.i dont think i could return fot the deco. its a shame that there isnt any other entrance to the restaurant. i wish them look.

There are pluses and minuses to the Thai Orchid. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is beautiful. The minuses are the location and the price of the food. I always go for a sizzling Weeping Tiger steak when I go there. The sauce is delicious. My wife loves Thai green chicken curry. We have had lovely starters too. Spring rolls are gorgeous. Last time I had the chicken salad and it was very fiery but gorgeous. Unfortunately this place is far from busy even on a Friday night. I would be afraid its days could be numbered. Half the problem is the location. Tucked in beside the Diamond cinema, upstairs beside a disused snooker hall. I don't think everyone is aware that the restaurant is even there. It's a great pity. They could do with lowering their prices a bit too. If they did a few specials and advertised more, they would get people flocking in.
