Top Thai Restaurants (timesonline.co.uk April 2007)

This is the Jewel of the local oriental restaurants, perched on the edge of the river with fine views of the cathederal, where master chef Pong Donchai creates dishes of unbeatable freshness, piquancy and spontaneity of flavours.

Try the tom kha kai (a spicey chicken soup with coconut milk, lemongrass, chilli, galagal, coriander and lime leaves) for a taster, before moving on to seafood phat phed (stir-fried mixed seafood with curry paste and coconut), stir-fried green mussels with sweet chilli paste and vegetables or roast duck curry (keang phed ped yang)

Numjai started life in Durham and quickly gained a reputation for its outstanding location, fine Thai cuisine, and a grand Thai atmosphere.

At Numjai Restaurant a great deal of thought has been placed into developing a special Numjai ambiance by creating an interior design utilising a traditional Thai setting.

There are a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes included on all of our menus together with extensive vegetarian dishes prepared of course using only the freshest and finest ingredients available. Both restaurants are designed to allow a perfect opportunity for relaxing with friends, entertaining corporate guests or treating that someone special in your life. Indeed every event, function or party is catered for.

Due to the growing popularity of the Numjai advanced reservations are a normal occurrence. Christmas is drawing ever nearer therefore advanced reservations are strongly advised to avoid disappointment of this exceptional culinary experience.

Ample parking is available near both venues to relieve you of the daily stresses and enable you to enjoy our finest Thai cuisine and way of life, Thai style!

With the menu created by Mr. Pong Donchai our expert head chef of over 40 years experience, we are sure that dining at the Numjai will be a memorable experience. Our highly trained Thai staff will attend to your every wish. Please don’t be afraid to ask any of our staff if you require your dishes extra spicy or just a little spicy.

We hope that you will pay us a visit and see for yourself, we know that you will be thoroughly impressed. Once you have sampled Thai cuisine and hospitality at the Numjai, you won’t settle for anything less!
