Thai Dusit is situated on Bold Lane, at the end of Sadler Gate and a stone’s throw away from Friar Gate within the classy Cathedral Quarter of the city. It is within walking distance from Derby Cathedral, Derby Museum and Art Gallery and the Guildhall Theatre. It is only a couple of minutes from the main stretch of bars and clubs and is ideally located for a meal before sampling Derby’s nightlife.
The restaurant itself is bright and airy and the tables are decorated with pink orchids and skilfully folded serviettes. The room is brightened up with the addition of leafy plants and exotic art work on the walls. The dining room forms a pleasant canvas to enjoy a truly stunning Thai meal.
The kitchen serves only the finest and freshest Thai cuisine, cooked and prepared by Thai chefs who have a wealth of experience behind them in creating and presenting beautiful Thai cuisine. The menu contains many classics that even Thai first timers will recognise such as Pad Thai and Thai Green Chicken curry. Diners are, however, recommended to look deeper in to the menu to uncover beautiful dishes such as Ped Nam Deng; stir fried roasted duck with spring onion, black mushrooms and baby corn in a light soya sauce, Pla Sam Rod; deep fried battered fish atop a tamarind sauce with onions and chillies with a slightly sweet taste, and the Chefs’ speciality of Lamb Massaman; a popular dish from Southern Thailand of lamb in a mild peanut curry of Thai herbs with coconut milk, carrots, potatoes and spring onions.
Thai Dusit is an extremely well executed restaurant that will please diners with the quality of cuisine and reasonable prices that they are offered at. It is ideal for couples and smaller parties.
