Samphat Thai - Tübingen

Really delicious food. Everything was fresh, nice spices, nice curries and even the Pad Thai was not overly sweet which is too common. Now in Egeriaplatz...

I'm lucky to have friends in Tubingen that are real 'foodies' as they always take the time to choose the best restaurants when I am in town. The restaurant is hidden away from the main part of town but still within easy walking distance. It is small and justifiably busy so do book in advance.A welcome from the kitchen was served which was a leaf coated in sesame seeds and coconut with some chilli sauce - I could have eaten a few more - I would love to know how they made them. We then shared an appetiser of vegetarian rolls which was amazingly fresh and tasty. When the main courses arrived we were glad we only took one starter - they were huge!I had the stir fry vegetables with peanuts, again really fresh and delicious, it came served with Rice. My friend had a duck dish which I was assured was also delicious.We had no room for desert but the deep fried ice cream sounded intriguing and I need to save some space to try that next time. The menu also gave a clear explanation about spice level and you could order western spicy or Thai spicy - that's a great idea as Thai spicy is not for the faint hearted.A lovely evening with really good food!

So first of all: I highly recommend you make a reservation since space is limited - especially during seasons and days on which you cannot sit outside! You can get a blanket if you're cold outside though...The interior has a lot of style, it looks really beautiful and is very pleasant to be having delicious Thai food! Even the bathrooms are in far better shape and conditions than most other (even German) restaurants.The waitresses were very friendly and professional, never bothersome and in their kind very pleasant.The food: ... was absolutely delicious! You get a little "Gruss aus der Küche" before your meal which is a little appetizer that tastes absolutely nice.You can have your dish spiced up if you wish (make it a bit hotter).You get great, genuine Thai food that is cooked with high quality ingredients (it doesn't taste like any additives at all!!)We had K09 and K13 (I think) - both very tasty .... plus the fried ice cream.Everything is served with style and is beautiful even just to view....We will definitely come back !!!

Samphat Thai is a nice Thai restaurant which is hugely popular with the locals (if you want to go be sure to make reservations or be prepared to wait). The service is relatively quick and friendly, the food is ok. However, it is Thai food which has been watered down significantly. It is very far away from original Thai food.

Really authentic Thai food. Was fully reserved when we walked in, so we decided to take-away. Very friendly service though the price is at the higher side. Main dish costed around 20 € and side dishes around 10 €.
