Thai Country Cafe

Wow. When we entered we were greeted by a very enthusiastic waiter, the food was phenomenal. My partner said she hadn't had a proper Thai dish since being in Thailand several years ago. Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic staff.

The prices are very reasonable: 18-24$ for mains, around $8 for appetizers. I was dining alone, so just had an appetizer plate and every item was yummy. I would have been happier with a larger serving of the side sauces, and the peanut sauce was just peanut butter, albeit a good one. I stopped in because of curb appeal and how cozy it looked (and it is, btw). Service was good and I felt comfortable staying and relaxing, which some places don't foster.

As authentic to Thai cuisine as you can get in Wellington. Friendly, efficient staff. Delicious Thai food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend. We will definitely be going back to Tawa's hidden little treasure.

Beautiful hidden gem. Try them out. Tasty food. Wonderful service. Will go again.

The Thai Country Cafe is a real gem of Tawa. Good menu with plenty of choices. Generous meal size without being stupidly large and they'll doggy-bag any remainder.
