Amaranth in Wandsworth

This was a really great restaurant but sadly not as good as it once was. Service was poor, orders were mixed up and the cost is much more than it is worth. Food is still high quality but a little gem is no longer sparkling.

A real shame as it's my local Thai and has substantially gone downhill. Both the red and panang curries were filled with too much coconut milk lacking flavour. The beef was dry and over cooked. I have lived here for 14 years and that was definitely not the case before.

Simple, bland and uninspiring food seemingly made without much love and served in a similar manner. In no rush to return which is a shame because it's probably the best of the local offerring

Got a seat next to a heater, really great service and the food was excellent. Only downside was the cocktails which either didn’t have enough alcohol or were probably far too diluted. Would definitely visit again minus the cocktails!

I have been going here for years and of the dishes I have tried, most have been delicious and full of flavour. My favourites are the chicken laksa and massaman beef curry. I would recommend this place. The portions are big and the price is fair for the area.

Can't add to the other reviews on the service as have only ordered online. Thought the food was really good, has become my go-to Thai.

Absolutely awful. The customer service is appalling and additionally we were made to feel rushed and frantic. Would not recommend.

I flooded the bathroom owing to the liberal use of a powerful tap, I got a sinking feeling it may have been my fault but then remember the basics of fluid dynamics and plumbing theory , what comes out, must go down. I won't slip up and make the same mistake again!

We have been frequenting Amaranth for years, either eating in the restaurant or ordering takeaway. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and high quality. This really is a hidden gem.

I would recommend not ordering online turned up for my order and they hadn’t even turned on their tablet so hadn’t never recorded it. With restaurant and Deliveroo they have spread themselves too thin and unfortunately customer service has dropped. Shame been coming here for years and one never go back.

After several successful visits over the last year or so, tonight was a disappointment and bordering on poor rather than average, so I am being generous with 3 stars. The food was tasty enough and the wine very drinkable. When we arrived the restaurant was full and despite reserving a table well in advance, we were given what must have been the worst table in the place. If it wasn't for the fact that we were hungry and were on a time limit we would have walked. The table was next to the toilet, opposite a store cupboard, had a view of a rubbish bin and was also next to the washing up room with clattering dishes all night. Service was surly to say the least, one waitress was OK the other was rude, dismissive and clearly didn't want to be there. Sadly, the overall experience tonight means that we won't return and will look next time towards Clapham Junction where we know there are some Thai restaurants that actually want your custom. I seriously considered removing the added automatic 12.5% service charge from the bill but couldn't be bothered with the hassle so just paid up and left. Disappointing in the extreme!

I am seriously taken aback when I see some positive reviews on this restaurant - the food is all microwaved or pre-prepared, totally lacks flavour and is overpriced. It has been like that for a few years now and when I have it a new chance last week I wish I had not. If you have no clue about the beautiful flavours of honest Thai food, by all means go and have some overpriced rice, but if you like and understand Thai, don’t even consider it! If I could give zero, I would.

Being new to the area we needed somewhere to have a local meal and our preferred option had fallen through, after checking out the menu online we decided to try Cafe Amaranth, and it surpassed all expectations. First of all, we both ordered dishes with chicken and unlike those restaurants that will only put 2 or 3 pieces of meat in your main dish, both the stir fried noodles and the noodle soup had a considerable amount! Portions were also great for the price, in other Thai restaurants I have tried the portions have been small, which kept me away from Thai restaurants for quite some time, but now we have found this place we will definitely be going back. I had the Laksa noodle soup, and it was amazing. The two staff members who looked after us during our visit were also so polite and friendly. The man who I think was the manager came to check that we were enjoying our meal and he seemed genuinely so pleased that we were happy with it.

We got a takeaway from here and the food was nice and tasty. My only complaint would be that some of the curries didn't have a veggie option and that meant that as a veggie there wasn't a huge amount of choice! Also, I ordered online and asked for tofu to be added to my veggie green curry but it wasn't. I would happily go or get another takeaway from there again though.

We visited Amaranth last night following a good experience a while ago. I had booked in advance requesting a window table and we were fortunate that on a warm night, we had a table next to the fully opening sliding windows. House wine by the glass is very well priced and drinkable so we had a few! Between the three of us we ordered the supreme mixed platter for 2 plus a separate portion of Edamame Beans. This was a perfect way to start the meal with delicious prawns, chicken satay, duck spring rolls etc. The Edamame beans were salty and delicious. For a main course my wife opted for a salad that although we asked for it to have little heat, came quite hot and spicy. Perhaps next time we will say no heat! The other diners in our group opted for the Chicken Stir Fry with cashew nuts, one with Jasmine Rice whilst I opted for fried rice. The stir fry and the rice were both delicious. The restaurant on a Thursday evening was totally full plus many take aways were being collected and delivered, judging by the quality of the food I can see why. The total bill including service charge, wine and generous and tasty food was £27 a person. A bargain and one we will repeat.

This is our local Thai and over 7 years in the area it remains a firm favourite . Consistently good food and friendly service plus is very well priced .

Elegante y acogedor a la vez, con toques verdes. Encantador para ir durante la semana, para un bocado rápido en el almuerzo o cualquier noche de cócteles y aperitivos con amigos. A pesar de ser delicada, la comida aquí es muy sabrosa y equilibrada. La mayoría de los platos probados hasta ahora, han sido literalmente deliciosos. Gama de porciones, satisfaciendo a todos y el precio es honesto.

. . . Y no para bien. Normalmente en una noche de viernes este restaurante está empacado. . . no lo era y poco a poco se hizo evidente por qué. No estoy seguro de si se trata de un cambio o gestión o chef, pero los sabores han cambiado. He estado yendo a este restaurante desde 2008 y estoy bastante versado en los platos que me gustan y los sabores que contienen. La sopa de Tom Kar ha cambiado, menos ingredientes y color y sabor muy suaves. Algunos platos ahora también se sirven en platos de hojalata, creo que están tratando de estar a la moda y se ve. . . apagado. El Pad Thai seguía siendo genial, el curry rojo no tan bueno. Este fue un tailandés tan bueno, espero que vuelva a ser como era.

As well as choosing from a menu, you can get a selection of dishes to share, great value, at either £15 or £20. The food was great, really tasty, great variety of colour and texture, and really well presented. And when a bowl is empty, they will just top it up for you. Bring your own and no corkage charge.

We went to Amaranth on a quiet Monday evening as we wanted to eat local and a Thai meal suited. Service was very friendly and we ordered House white, red and rose wine. All were very drinkable and reasonably priced. We had a range of shared starters comprising Edamame beans, Chicken Satay and Ginger Chicken skewers, all of which were delicious. My wife ordered a salad for a main course and be warned, it is served spicy so if you don't want it too chilli hot, make sure you stress this when ordering. My daughter and I both went for chicken stir fry dishes with Jasmine rice - delicious. The bill, that included 12.5% service charge, was extremely reasonable and we all left saying we had a pleasant meal and would happily return.

Sorprendentemente mal para llevar esta noche. Deben servir comida diferente en el restaurante para la comida para llevar, ya que el lugar siempre está ocupado.

Un amigo nos llevó a Amaranth y yo era escéptico de no haber disfrutado especialmente la comida vegetariana o vegana. Pero esto era diferente. Mezclas sutiles de sabores de Sri Lanka / sur de la India con un poco de influencia tailandesa, deliciosas ensaladas y para personas de mediana edad porciones muy generosas. Notamos que el grupo de 20 a 30 años de edad estaba acaparando sus porciones principalmente con facilidad. Si no puede comer todo lo que ha pedido, el propietario lo enviará a casa con una comida para llevar. Gran ambiente, personal encantador, super comida, puedo decir poco más. Bien hecho amaranto sigue así

No habíamos estado aquí durante años, ya que tenemos otro restaurante tailandés cerca de nuestra casa, pero mi esposo y yo queríamos un cambio. Nos alegramos mucho de haberlo hecho: teníamos deliciosos rollitos de verduras y tempura de hortalizas, seguidos de un delicioso curry rojo de verduras (picante pero justo) y un sabroso plato vegetariano. Acompañados por un delicioso cóctel, tuvimos una cena encantadora, y volveremos.

For those local to Earlsfield (London) this is a must visit for authentic Thai food. The venue is simple, faultless food, reasonably priced and nice wines, and overall great value! Ideal for groups, families and informal occasions!

I love this restaurant, and eat there or takeaway at least a couple of times a month. They will make you a vegetarian green (or red) curry to order - but you have to ask specifically, as the vegetable green and red curry on the menu is made with fish sauce. Ask for tofu too - no extra charge. It is absolutely delicious and very authentic. They do scrumptious vegetarian spring rolls too.

I would strongly recommend not ordering from this restaurant. We have had very late deliveries before but our most recent order was 90 mins late from the estimated time. Despite calling 9 times, the calls to the restaurant were diverted to a voicemail that was never responded to (on a Friday night!!). My husband then drove to to see what was happening as we had paid online and was offered a 20% discount off our next order.....no level of customer service, the order would have never arrived and no apology.

Went in to collect takeaway, was ready a full 10 mins later than estimated on the phone, and only after I asked several times how long it would be. Wouldn’t be so bad to wait 10 extra mins for good food but gosh it’s the worst pad Thai I’ve had in a long time - tastes like they’ve got a pre-mixed sauce they tip over noodles and a bit of chicken. Kitchens and wait staff all seemed a bit chaotic and multiple delivery drivers coming in to collect orders so appears they’re compromising on quality to serve too many customers at once.

Excellent, excellent, excellent - what more can I say....! Perfect service, perfect surroundings and the food was excellent and very reasonably priced too. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant - a real gem.

Fuimos por casualidad cuando estábamos viendo un concierto de Lou Stone en el pub a la vuelta de la esquina. Realmente excelente comida - la gamba especial fue excepcional. Me gustó la cerveza de jengibre Amaranth especial con chili y hierba de limón también - suena extraño pero muy agradable. Servicio encantador también - recomendado.

The place is good, nice food, nice staff, the service is slow, but it can be visited once atleast good.

Me encantó la comida, la última vez que tuve Thai que estaba delicioso en Bangkok! El personal era extremadamente amable, eficiente y muy servicial. Entramos cuando todo estaba tranquilo a las 7 pm pero el restaurante pronto se llenó y puedo ver por qué es un favorito local. No puedo esperar para volver!

Bright setting with outside seating and friendly staff. Yellow and green chicken curries were tasty, but the chicken was a little over cooked and would have been better combined with some vegetables. Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.

Met a friend for a meal one evening. Good choices to please both of us, and the service was absolutely excellent. The prices are very good and I will definitely eat there again.

Entramos a una cálida bienvenida y un bonito restaurante, habíamos reservado y nos llevaron a asientos junto a la ventana, así que buen comienzo

Came on a weeknight and despite being busy the service was quick. We had the samui set menu and both really liked the coconut chicken soup, I loved the prawn salad. Nothing else was stand out. For £55 for two (incl service charge and 1 x beer each) you get a lot of food, which is quite tasty, but not exceptional.

A great Thai restaurant that I can’t stop going back to! They do a great sharing starter, which followed by one main and some rice to share is more than enough for two. We love this place on a Sunday night, it’s always heaving though so try and book. I don’t recommend sitting downstairs. It’s nothing fancy, with the decor in need of some TLC but they care and the staff are friendly and efficient. I’d strongly recommend.

cuisine excellente, gouteuse à souhait, avec de vrais parfums, j'aime! en plus service agréable tout cela pour un prix raisonnable.

There are no frills or fancy presentation, just good tasty Thai food with friendly service . The set menu offers good value with a variety of dishes and generous portions. Wine is average but not expensive, would recommend for a weekday catch up but not for an impressive date night .

We have been coming here for years and love the food . Friendly staff , a varied menu and great consistency in the quality of what is delivered . The owner is great also always stops for a chat . A wonderful local restaurant .

Es una lástima que, habiendo sido un favorito local por un largo tiempo, nos entristece por nuestra visita el pasado viernes. Había reservado una mesa a través de mesa abierta para 9. 45:00 después de una obra de teatro local, que llegó a tiempo para ser recibidos con caras miserables. . Inmediatamente informó a la orden entrantes y platos principales juntos como nos tan tarde. No era problema, que era educado y comida rápida y bebidas ordenados A las 10. 40 pedimos una segunda ronda de bebidas. A las 10. 45 que estaban siendo acosados por el personal para terminar y salir como lo estaban cerrando. . . Y con la factura, que felizmente aunque nuestras bebidas estaban llenos y todavía teníamos comida en la mesa. . . . Entonces visitado por varios miembros del personal cada pocos minutos diciendo que era hora de marcharse. Como decía, cortésmente han tomado una reserva para empezar a las 9. 45 y la mayoría de los lugares nos permitiría estar 90 minutos para una, simplemente repetía que era nuestra culpa reserva tan tarde! ! Literalmente, nunca me he sentido tan distante de cualquier restaurante! ! - El mejor consejo para el restaurante - Actualice su mesa abierta a veces reserva final en 9. 30 y trata de no ser tan grosero a sus clientes, una experiencia muy desagradable. . La comida estaba bien!.

Fuimos allí por la noche. No esperábamos mucho, pero resultó alimentos realmente bueno. Creo que es seguro decir que uno de nuestros mejor Restaurante Tailandés. El restaurante conserva su Bajo perfil pero está lleno de sabor y variedad. Me encanta.

Este solía ser nuestro restaurante favorito earlsfield informal para una noche. Tengo que decir que lamentablemente desde su ampliado y parado te permite traer tu pripia bedida alcohólica también creo la comida ha empeorado y no es nada especial. También nuestra última comida para llevar estaba un poco aguado y la verdura frito eran pasada. Venga Amaranto, mejorar el nivel y volver a la cima de su juego. . por favor!

Entramos a cenar en una noche de sábado. Fuimos los primeros clientes para la noche. Pedimos el tempura de verduras, sopa y pad Thai tomyum. El tempura de verduras es una indicación de que la comida no es nada bueno. Era pasada y aceitosa y el bateador era bien gruesas. El peor fue aún por venir. El plato que llaman pad Thai fácilmente ser el peor pad Thai que he probado. Fue fideos pasada con piezas de pollo seco impregnado en una salsa repugnante. Hubiera incluso poner comida de avión a pena. Tuve unas cuantas cucharas ya que estaba hambriento y dejamos el resto. Tuve que ir a casa a comer una segunda cena.

Hemos estado viviendo en esta zona por más de 8 años. Siempre hemos hecho tomar lejos de aquí, pero nunca fuimos al restaurante para una comida servida.

Hemos comido aquí varias veces en últimos seis años. Siempre la comida genial acogida y buen tailandés. Esta noche debe haber sido una noche como la comida y el servicio estaban muy por debajo de lo esperado. Tal vez fue un dien servir y pequeña...

We have ordered twice now, the first time for a birthday gathering of 8 people, and the second time a quiet night in for two at home. Both times we ordered over the phone and went to collect, which is quicker than waiting for delivery. I have eaten in at the restaurant once, but that was several years ago.We chose a range of dishes, avoiding really hot meals. Beef, chicken and prawns all good, coconut rice excellent. Sauces were tasty, but a bit runny. Too many vegetables in the green curry for us.Would definitely buy food from Amaranth again. Lady on the phone very friendly and no mistakes with our order at all.

Visited for valentines! Wow the food is bad! Over cooked meat and watery sauces. Service is friendly, but not good enough to disguise the shameful food! Won't be going again.

40th birthday party and made really welcome. Food was great, service was very personable and knowledgeable and really nice amosphere. They made a real effort to make it a special night and very accomdating. Nut alergy not a problem and really carefull. We had a few kids and they loved it.

The food was ok, it took them over an hour to serve the main courses, one of the members of staff speaks no English. The rest of the waiting staff were really good though. I can cook better Thai food than them that's for sure.

Fantastic authentic Thai food in the heart of Earlsfield. The food is absolutely amazing however it is sometimes hard to flag down a waiter to get a drink upon arrival! A word of warning, be careful when asking for your curry extra spicy - I have made that mistake twice now!

Well what can say. We decided to eat at this venue after a long day of moving house. This would be our last meal in Earlsfield and we've always fancied trying this Thai venue. We thought we'd be able to pop in for a quick round of curry maybe even some noodles. But sadly it was not to be. We had to wait to be seated, and then left to our own devices for 20 mins we finally managed to order beers, starters and mains. The beers turned up after 10 mins, we drunk the beers and then had to wait a whole hour before we managed to get the waitresses attention to bring our food. She then forgot our starters and brought out our mains. No apologies just sticking the food in front of us. The food was good put didn't make up for the time we spent waiting. When the bill came service had been added, although we had made it quite clear that we weren't happy. A poor ending to our time in Earlsfield.

...and we never get a take away from anywhere else now! The food is consistently high quality, and really, really good. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. Authentic taste and very fair prices.

I've been here about six times and had an excellent meal each time. The lamb shank massaman is out of this world. Also the sauce used in the egg noodle stir fry is absolutely delicious. The air con and decor are lovely and the service is good.

This small family restaurant is amazing, the Red Curry is the best I have had, the specials are amazing. I had the Prawn Curry and my Mum had Scallops which were fabulously cooked and there were loads of them. The Staff are so friendly and experience is warm and relaxed. I definitely recommend a visit.

In summary the staff were great and the food was bad. I had the pad krapow which on the menu was 3 chillies. So it should have been extra spicy. Instead it was rather tasteless. The chicken was from the freezer. It was very dry. Pad krapow is supposed to made with tiny morsals of meat. This was just large chunks of boiled crubbish. Girlfriend's red duck curry was slightly better but not great. Again duck was just mass produced frozen drivel. This was spicier than my dish even though on the menu mine was supposed to be very hot. I'm not sure why this place is so highly rated. Oh and the beer was warm. Not impressed.

I came in this place recently and if I have to be honest I was expecting something more special.Food is ok, but the reason for my 2 stars is because everything was pre cooked, especially the meat, who was overcooked.This makes me think that food is not fresh but all prepared and who knows since when.I don't think I will come back.

Here is a restaurant owner that is jaded and complacent. The menu promises mostly classic authentic Thai dishes but the ingredients are those of a kitchen that can't be bothered to source and combine anything other than the most basic sources that may have come out of a bottle.Our sweet and sour spare ribs were boiled and virtually tasteless. Without the assistance of some painted on cloying source to liven then up they would have been sent back. The 'tempura' soft shell crab was soggy, the weeping sizzling beef had no trace of a Thai herb, and pullet chicken, a 'chef's special', tasted, well it tasted a like chicken and not much else. The salad upon which it rested, was acceptable.There was one bright spot in an otherwise pedestrian dining experience, the prawn salad had a conglomeration of herbs, including lemongrass, chillies, lime juice, coriander and perfectly cooked warm prawns to make it a dish worth eating. The service was indifferent. The meal for two adults and a teenager came to £73 plus service. We won't be going back.

Couple of items on the menu worth a mention - the Tangy Tamarind Crispy Duck is fantastic and their Pad Thai is excellent. Good location close to the train station and very realsonably priced - meal for two with a couple of glasses of wine came to £35.

Always such delicious food, and a great menu to choose from. I usually share lots of curries with some rice and pad thai but decided to go for the vegetarian laksa soup and it was so divine!great for take away's too.

Been here 2 times and noticed the pile of dirty plates they leave in the middle of the restaurant where everyone is seated. It just looks disgusting and i am almost certain it attracts cockroaches. During take away the food is ready in less than 5 minutes with weird tasting chicken. Have seen a lot in my life but an order of 3 different dishes being ready in less then 5 minutes tells me this place does not produce "fresh food".

Great food, good service and fantastic value for money! We had sharing plate of supreme selection of starters, for mains pad thai with prawns and chicken curry with coconut milk and rice. We will be back again!

There was lots of choice on the menu and it was clearly indicated as to what dishes were spicy and which were mild. The waitresses were friendly and welcoming. The starter of chicken satay was disappointing as a very small portion for the price. The main courses were lovely as well as complimentary prawn crackers. Overall a good find of a restaurant.

Nice atmosphere, good service, food is reasonably priced. Really enjoyed the beef oyster sauce stir fry. I will definitely go back.

We have eaten at this restaurant many many times over the years. However, last night meal was truly awful. We sent the starter back as the prawns were still frozen. Then the main course was so very hot and spicy (and we like hot and spicy) that it was completely inedible. All in all it was a very disappointing meal and we will not return.

Great Friday evening out yesterday. Great choice of food with clear spice indication. Lovely flavours and reasonable. Quick efficient service. Best Thai in the Earlsfield area.

Food has improved again. Much better. Good value and good. Its a good local with good flavours. As a well priced place its great

Friendly Family Thai Restaurant - Great value for money - Good service (eat in and takeaway)- Good food

I had seen that this restaurant was the critics choice on Time Out, so we chose to give it a go. We ordered several different things, including the Tamarind Cod, and were really disappointed. I don't believe that what we ate was cod - it was smaller, quite boney and much stronger in flavour. The restaurant wasn't very busy, but the service was still very slow. Price was pretty high, too.

Good food, the value for the main meals is good at around £7 a meal. The price of the starters however is ridiculous. We had the mixed starter for two, which is £9. This included 2 tiny fishcakes, 2 tiny spring rolls, 2 tiny dim sums and 2 tiny satay sticks. When i say tiny i mean eat in one bite tiny. Break that down and its over £1 an item, which is ridiculous. More expensive than the main meals with about 1/4 of the food. It was a mixed starter for one, nowhere near enough for two and nowhere near enough for £9

Me and my family have been eating at Amaranth for a long time the girls are always friendly. They food is always nice and they usually chuck in the free Thai crackers. Great takeaway

After living in this area for over 30yrs and the Amaranth being there for what must be at least 20(?), I've used the shop but never visited the restaurant - now a separate business from the shop, by the way...From first glimpse of the blackboard outside we were intrigued by the Mossoman Lamb shank. We arrived unreserved on the evening of Friday 18th Dec, when the World seemed to be finishing work for the Hols, but were welcomed and directed straight to a table. On enquiring, we were assured that the shank was slow cooked to tender perfection - and it didn't disappoint.My only slight quibble is that we asked if it came with anything, as a guide to what else to order and were told it just came 'on its own'. On its arrival, we found several halves of baby potatoes reclining decadently in the delicious nut sauce! After soft-shelled crab and tempura prawns and the side orders of pak-choi & broccoli and coconut rice, this proved to be a bit of a challenge...Service was enthusiastic, efficient, prompt and nicely cheeky - "Small or Large Singha beer? - Aah - two big men must be two big beers..."Nice One, Amaranth.

the food great as always, however must check for the bill, easy they making mistake, by adding an extra dish, don't like the fact the bill is in writing and not English.

That's the place in a nutshell. Very nice food, not great but good enough but the service is terrible. Waited an hour and a half for our main course this evening! The place has expanded by about three times but still has the same number of staff. And is it just me but I can't stand it when you have waited for ever for someone to bring you a drink or food but the owner just ignores you? Tonight she spent the entire time thumbing receipts and going through the till roll. PUT THEM DOWN AND HELP OUT! A very good local restaurant is going down the pan.

Takes me back to Thailand every time. Love the place. Their set menus are great. Tempura is yummy. Pity it isn't BYOB anymore. Glad they do so well and expanding quickly.

Delicious thai food, well worth a visit, in the Earslfield area of London. Inexpensive, yummy pad thai, tamarind duck. A huge hit with all the family. They also offer takeaways too - perfect for a night in when you can't be bothered to cook!!

Lovely restaurant, the service is somewhat slow in places but the food (from what we had) can not be criticised. Very popular with local Earlsfield people.

I love Thai food and like to try different Thai restaurants and also cook it myself. The food quality here is below average. I love Thai fish cakes and make it myself so I can tell a good one from a bad one, and the ones in Amaranth, I am sorry to say were terrible. My cod dish was rubbery and dry, the sauce was awful. The curries were below average.The place feels like it needs a good clean, we sat next to a white wall which was full of dirty marks.I will not be returning and will advise you to look elsewhere if you want decent Thai.

I've just had an early dinner with my friend in Earlsfield - we went to this amazing Thai place .. The Thai beef salad was just brilliant .. A couple of cold beers and the scallops .. Glorious day outside .. Some nice chatter inside and great atmosphere .. My friend had the fish tamarind which I tasted and it was equally impressive - when the bill came it was great value . I will definitely be back and can recommend this place 100% - what a gem and right near the tube ...

i have been going here for over 9 years now, i think it was called noodle bowl before, food is always excellent and so is the service, my favourite was fresh coconut prawn stir fry with jasmine rice, bring your own bottle too,

I used yo visit here years ago when I lived in the area, so as I was passing I thought I'd introduce the place to my partner. If was lunchtime and it seemed closed, but on further inspection we saw a staff member who then opened the side door for us. We had a mixed starter for two, followed by Laksa & chicken green curry. Both dishes were flavourful but the Laksa was very special. The right amount of heat from the chilli and sweetness from the coconut.As I have been here many times before I didn't take notice of the reviews here, so I'm surprised to read so many negative ones now. It's a shame because both the restaurant and shop serve good quality product. But I agree the service at the restaurant is not great, but in the shop across the road (where we went to purchase ingredients to recreate our meal at home) was superb.

A friend of mine has recently moved to the area, and as we both like thai food, we went to try this place. The restaurant was pretty much empty, yet all the staff was completely ignoring us and it took ages before someone took our orders. The food was alright, but rather average. When we wanted to order a dessert, they were all ignoring us again, so after about half an hour we just gave up.

We live nearby and have visited two or three times. The service is consistently slow, the food is fine: nice, but not incredible, with occasional disappointments, and now it is no longer BYO it isn't particularly good value either. We want it to be great, but sadly it just isn't. No more chances!

It was my first experience to Amaranth and I have to say that me and my family really enjoy the dinner. The starter that we share was very tasty, I love it. Pak thai (i hope I wrote correctly) was very nice and the soup spicy and yummy. The girls were very polite and service was on perfect timing. Next time I fancy thai definately I will go back to Amaranth.

Amaranth used to be a lovely restaurant with a good vibe and good fresh Thai food.... Over the last 4/5 years it has gone worse and worse.... starters are re - heated in the microwave and mains taste oriental(-ish) but certainly not Thai. It is ok for dinner with a large group of friends for the sake of grabbing something quick and average, but it is certainly not where to go for good food. There are lots of great restaurants in Earlsfield and this is by far the worst.

This is a reveiw for the takeaway of thsi restaurant in Earlsfield. We have had food from here many times, and it has generally always been pretty good. Last night however, after eating a Pad Thai, my wife began to feel unwell about three hours afterwards, and then spent the whole night up with faily agressive food poisoning. I had different dish and was fine. My wife called the restaurant today to let them know. NOt because we were looking for a freebie, but so that they could perhaps check the Pad Thai, or perhaps see if the particular staff memmeber who made it was unwell etc. so that they don't do the same to someone else. She was given the brush off, with them stating that "the chicken for both meals was from same batch, and no one else has complained, so can't be us". This is a disgraceful attitude for any restaurant/takeaway. Firstly, there is egg in a pad thai that may well have been the difference, but regardless, I would expect any restaurant to take a customers notice that they had been unwell, serious enough to at least say they will investigate. Clearly throwing away a batch of pad thai, checking on staff and cleaning down a few surfaces for that section is more hassle for them that its worth to mitigate the risk of potentially poisoning a few other people. Shame as this was a nice local takeaway we enjoyed often, but I can't consider eating here again when they respond with this kind of attiude.

Turned up at ten past 9pm to be given an admonishing look with a 'You booked for 8.30' in a quarter full restaurant. (I had in fact rung to say we'd arrive at 9pm). A table by faulty air-con was pointed out to our group of four - (very different from being shown to your table). Various people fiddled with the air-con next to us but it was freezing so we moved to the adjoining room. I sat at a table for 4 but it had a diary on it and was told not to sit there. I pushed two tables together to make a four. A waitress came over and gave us menus though we'd already placed our order. We did kind of know at this point that this wasn't going to work out. Our restaurant radar is pretty sharp and we had a brief conversation about bailing out, cutting our losses and leaving. We didn't - big mistake.The food is terrible, the service poor and unwelcoming. We left half the food and got out quickly. £90 quid for four including a cold bottle of Malbec. My daughter felt unwell and was ill in the night - which probably cannot be attributed to the restaurant - as the rest of us weren't sick. My advice - if you know a place doesn't feel right - trust your instincts and leave! (I wish I'd trusted mine). Best avoid this place.

Havemt eaten in there many times before food every good. Went in one evening food was disgusting. Could not eat any of it. The manager wasnt very helpful, didnt want to know. Have vowed never to eat in there again

Really nice place, with lovely atmosphere, even nicer staff and very good food. Hard not to come out of here feeling stuffed as the food is so good. Reasonably priced (for London).

We visited here for the first time yesterday.Thai green curry was bland. Thai beef salad was atrocious. Beef was as tough as leather. I asked for a knife and it was incredibly difficult to cut. I suspect it was a cut of beef more suitable for braising than flash frying.The place was very busy and we can't really work out why.We will not go there again.

The restaurant recently expanded- There are 2 rooms on the ground floor and 1 room in the basement.On the other side of Earlsfield station there is it's Take-Away and Store branch.I love Thai food and the food that is offered at this restaurant is very tasty ad fresh.There is a good choice of dishes on the menu.The service is good and quick. The prices are reasonable, not the cheapest I've seen for this sort of food but neither were they overpriced. The reason I will not give 5 starts is that the restaurant is no longer BYO.

really good thai food and very low prices. The service is excellent. It also have BYO policy. You must book however because it is very busy!!

I like Thai food a lot and was not disappointed! The menu was well thought out and not too large. The food was excellent and not over spiced. I would definitely recommend the Amaranth.

Food has gone from being amazballs to really kinda average. Brought Sydney friends in 2013 who sung its praises! Starters too small and pad thai dissapointing. Aramanth sort it out

Really good Thai food, served with a smile. The only thing was I didn't think it had enough spice but thats just a personal preference. Value whys it was £20 per head for 2 courses and drinks which isn't half bad in London. We will be going back.

Recommended to us so were expecting a really authentic experience. Cooked beef and chicken had just been added to sauces and not marinated or cooked in them. Asked for glasses of water which were warm. Service was over efficient initially and then became non existent, except for the persistent desire to top up our wine - our finished plates sat in front of us for over twenty minutes until we asked for the bill.We were just visiting the area and live 'out in the sticks' in North East Essex but we certainly enjoy better Thai meals out there than this offering.

not bad flavours here... cheapish and good portions... BYOW options and that reduces the bill... they recently expanded so must be doing well but nothing special.

We had been to this restaurant several times before, but not in the last 18 months. Since our last visit, the restaurant has expanded significantly and now has a booze licence (it is no longer BYO). Although the food was very tasty and reasonably priced, the portions were a bit on the small size. My wife and I had two starters, two mains, and rice and were left a bit hungry. But, the food was very good.Although the BYO aspect was not the main attraction to us, it was always a benefit. Since this change and the expansion, there is little that makes this restaurant stand out above others in the area.

I've visited Amaranth many times and their take-away it's always good. if know what you want to order, call them 10 minutes before you show up and beat the queue in the evening. I haven't been to the restaurant recently, so I can't comment but it used to be good and offer a different menu. Really upset to hear that they don't let you BYO wine anymore. However I personally prefer booking downstairs - saves you from getting your clothes smelly because of sitting near the kitchen upstairs.

Once packed and buzzing this place expanded, did away with its BYO booze policy and seems to have crashed and burned. Having been back twice since the changes the food was nice enough but the service quite poor verging on rude and the new wine list not impressive. Serving stale prawn crackers isn't a great idea either. Oh dear.

Amaranth is a great place for Thai food. A very comprehensive menu that will appease any customer and for good value. Up until recently, this used to be BYOB (Bring your own booze) and has since changed to not being so. However, the sign on the door says BYO with tiny small print (lesson to be learned here) that states that it no longer does this. Of course when you pitch up with a bottle of wine unknowingly, you will be turned away. We drank the wine outside and went in afterwards, after all it was an honest mistake. Overall, good food, NOT BYO, and well priced. Try not to reserve a table downstairs as it's a bit dingy in the basement.
