Extremely delicious authentic Thai food. The resturaunt is set in a bar which is a bit of a shame, but it's separated off to the side. Fantastic service. Will be coming back!

Had a super tasty Thai meal at This restraunt the other night! The food was fresh and full of flavor—especially the Pad Thai and Green Curry. Everything came out hot and just the right amount of spicy. Our server, Apple, was amazing. Super friendly, quick with service, and gave some great recommendations. She made us feel really welcome and checked in just enough without hovering. All around, a great spot for Thai food. Definitely going back—and if you go, ask for Apple. She’s the best!

Okay, listen up, Watford! My Sunday just went from drab to dazzling thanks to 'Real Thai Kitchen @ The Dome Bar'. The food? Still dreaming about that perfect fried rice, the zesty Tom Yum Prawn, and those fiery chicken wings. And meeting Apple, the amazing owner, just made the whole experience even warmer. BUT THEN... the Thai real coconut ice cream with honey arrived. Seriously, it just melted away all my Sunday blues. Creamy, dreamy, and the honey drizzle was the perfect touch. This place is a full-on five-star experience, from the incredible food to the wonderful Apple and that blissful ice cream. Get yourself to The Dome Bar ASAP!

It was our first time there and it was lovely. The food was delicious, the taste remind me vacation in Thailand 100%. The staff was kind and very helpful. I am sure I will come more often and try more of the food.

Recently discovered this Thai food place and everything we tried here was tasty and fresh. Even my toddler who refuses to eat everything at restaurants unless it is pizza, relished chicken satay and prawn toast. Service was prompt and Apple was a warm and attentive host. So happy to have found this place. Looking forward to bring extended family for next get together. Got only a few pictures of the main course and starters were polished off quite quickly as they arrived.

Had another lovely meal. This is our 4th time visiting Apple. The food is constantly good, absolutely full off flavour. There is now a chefs special that changes but also a great menu. Apple is am excellent host and we look forward to visiting Real Thai at the Dome.

Authentic Thai food straight out of the top draw, at The Dome Bar. I ordered a takeaway so can't comment on the service or atmosphere. But the lovely lady who served my food was charming and extraordinarily polite! Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu.
