Thai Silk Authentic Thai Cuisine brings a broad regional view of Thai cooking to its relaxed Mayfair dining room. Rather than presenting one uniform idea of the cuisine, the restaurant draws from the richer, milder north, the fiery east, the sweeter Chinese-influenced centre and the hot, herb-driven south. Across those traditions, dishes are built around the balance of hot, sour, sweet, salty and spicy flavours. Lunch, dinner, takeaway and table bookings make the restaurant workable for both a planned evening and a more casual meal.
The opening courses cover crisp, grilled, steamed and soupy textures. House spring rolls, chicken satay and curry puffs sit beside pork-and-chive dumplings, pork-and-prawn dim sim, coconut-crumbed scallops and tofu with a sesame-chilli tamarind sauce. Tom yum layers lemongrass, roasted chilli, tomato and lime into a hot-and-sour broth, while tom kha gai softens the profile with coconut milk and galangal. A slow-braised beef noodle soup and wonton broth offer gentler, deeply savoury alternatives.
Curries show the kitchen's regional range most clearly. Red and green curries carry coconut milk, bamboo and vegetables, yellow curry is milder with potato and carrot, and massaman adds tamarind and peanuts. Panang is creamy and aromatic with kaffir lime, while the southern curry leaves out coconut milk and uses herbs, bamboo shoots and toasted rice for a sharper finish. Seafood and hot-plate dishes add tamarind fish, crisp squid, king prawns, scallops, duck, lamb and the restaurant's marinated Thai Silk steak.
Vegetarian diners can build a full meal from chilli-basil tofu, choo-chee tofu, satay vegetables, mushroom panang and green curry, with many other dishes adaptable on request. Rice and noodle plates include pad Thai with prawns and tamarind, pineapple fried rice, a chilli-paste house fried rice and wok-fried egg noodles. The drinks list complements those flavours with Thai beer and iced tea, Hawke's Bay wines, cider, cocktails and several alcohol-free choices. Set menus for groups bring starters, curries, stir-fries, rice and dessert into a shared format.
