"Oh dear, where do I start We had horses we own running at Newton Abbot and having made the journey from Salisbury by train, decided to look for a restaurant on the way back and were pleased when The Thai Orchid took our online booking...A short while after booking we took a call asking us to delay our booking slot due to a large party arriving simultaneously, no problem I said. Anyway with our taxi already booked we arrived in the lovely Cathedral Close setting at around and enjoyed drinks outside an neighbouring bar. With no sign of the large party arrival at just after we enquired as to the availability of our booked table, but readily agreed to our previously agreed delayal On sitting at our table at around it became apparent that the proprietor (an ageing plump and goatee bearded gent) was a rather stressed. We were presented with foldered menus and a wine list as well as a tatty single sheet ‘temporary wine list’, ordering from the more elaborate list seemed to irritate ‘mine host’ , explaining he had issues with his normal supplier, hence the temporary offering, one wonders why on earth we were tempted by the normal offerings and subsequently questioned the nature of said dispute! Anyway a perfectly acceptable bottle arrived followed by our starters, part of the set meal we chose An hour later, my wife gently enquired as to the likely arrival of our main course, with it now being and our train departure being She was chastised by the proprietor for not making him aware of our ‘tight timescale’. I would not have thought an booking to catch a train at a station nearby was overly reckless On quietly discussing this with my wife, I mentioned that I thought our chosen venue appeared to be rather ‘a shambles’ This seemed to light the proverbial touch paper… ‘did somebody say the word shambles’, muttered our host, through gritted teeth… I duly admitted, explaining our disappointment, quietly and rationally, only to be roared at… telling us to get out and that we a year old couple) were banned for life My wife was consoled by what appeared to be a senior waitress, ‘oh no, not again’ she said, a history check on this very site, proving such aggressive outbursts are not uncommon here. We were escorted to the door where our charming host told me how keen he was to ‘knock my f…… block off’ Please do review my history here on Trip Advisor and judge my rationale . Never, ever have I been treated like this… This man is indeed A SHAMBLES"

Really enjoyed our laab salad minced meat of different types with spices. It was the most authentic dish we ate so well recommended. Would make a nice lunch with rice!
Yasmine
A quiet lunchtime, but made very welcome, and the food was great, plenty of food, and a very reasonable lunch menu, lovely friendly service, a must on a visit to exeter !!
Susan
Friendly staff and wonderful food. It was quite quiet and we ended up being the last customers left so had time to chat with the staff. A great evening and will definitely be back soon. Visualizza piatti

We weren’t sure what to order so went for one of the set menus. It was brilliant. We ended up with plates of food we would never have ordered but so glad it gave us a chance to try it. Would definitely recommend.

Wildly disappointed in service. Been here sporadically a few times over and tonight was worst service and it was for a special birthday. Had to ask for starter to be chased up and been sat in seat in excess of an hour. Then had...to ask for main course to be chased up after in the seat and gave up on dessert etc. Shame food was lovely when arrived but service spoilt it somewhat dreadful service

Am sitting in this restaurant right now. We have been here for one and a half hours. So far they only have managed to produce starters for of us both delivered at different times. After asking numerous times I was told mine was “difficult...to cook” when it came it was deep fried frozen breaded sea food with a standard sweet chilli dip. Not difficult to cook at all. My partners starter of mushroom satay was pretty dull too. Dreadful service and so far pretty mediocre food. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone Visualizza piatti

We booked online and had this confirmed in an email. We turned up on time having driven miles to Exeter, then Park and Ride and finally a ten minute walk to arrive spot on Wed December for our Thia experience. How dissapointing...to find the restaraunt CLOSED. No notice with any explanation. I rang the number to hear an answering machine. Just as we wre leaving we saw a man come out and we obviously asked what was going on. He said he was a chef and there was illness at the restaraunt. NO NOTICE ON DOOR NO E-MAIL We are not well pleased !

Have eaten at the Thai Orchid many times, the food and service has always been excellent. However, today was very different! We booked a table for lunch and had an emailed confirmation several days ago. After a mile drive, we arrived at the restaurant...at the agreed time to find the door locked and lights off. Knocking the door brought a man who said they wern't open despite our booking. He closed and locked the door not very professional! Some minutes later, we managed to attract the attention of a lady who turned out to be the chef. She was far more polite than the previous man, contacted the owner, who, from the conversation didn't seem to care. The chef said we could go inside, but she...
