Thai Tamarind in Ancaster is a delightful hidden gem—modest from the outside, but inside you’ll find clean, cozy surroundings and genuinely warm service. The food is the real star: fresh, flavorful, and authentically Thai, from sweet Pad Thai to vibrant curries and standout options like Mango Fish or Tamarind Fish. Portions are generous and prices fair

It was a rather disappointing meal. The spicy stir fry in coconut milk, as far as we can taste or see had no coconut milk. The ginger shrimp barely had any ginger flavour. Generally not much flavour at all. I am allergic to bell peppers, so asked that they leave out the bell peppers, but the dish arrived with bell peppers. Neither dish had mushrooms as indicated. The broccoli and cauliflower were barely cooked.

Had lunch at Thai Tamarind, and it was fantastic. It started with a hot bowl of tom yum soup-flavourful, just the right amount of spice, and super comforting—plus a crispy spring roll that hit the spot. Then came the Pad Thai, which was exactly how it should be—savoury, a little sweet, and full of fresh ingredients. Portions were great, and the service was quick and friendly, perfect for a lunch break. Definitely coming back to try more!

If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in Ancaster, Thai Tamarind is the spot. This place is a true hidden gem — tucked away but absolutely worth finding. The flavors are bold, fresh, and beautifully balanced. You can really taste the care and authenticity in every bite.

From the rich curries to the perfectly spiced pad Thai and crispy spring rolls, everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, and the presentation is on point too.

What really stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely take pride in what they do. They were helpful with recommendations and made sure we felt taken care of throughout the meal.

I haven’t gagged like this since college. There’s a reason it is beside a gas station. Just go to Bangkok Spoon if you are wanting good Thai. Chicken was like chewing on a piece of bark. The pad Thai was sickly sweet and tasted like soy sauce and brown sugar. Only good item was the fresh spring roll. That was good. Oh and they forgot to give us the rice. Tamarind trouble.

So incredibly delicious, mum says she “has no words”. We try a new dish every time we come here and each one is better than the last. The peanut curry is a must!

Authentic Thai food. The spring rolls were crispy and piping hot just the way I like them. The mango salad was crispy and tasty. My chicken was a little too crispy but tasty. Group of twelve and we all got food hot, prompt service and weren’t rushed out the door.
