Bua Thai Caterham Restaurant

The Bua Thai in Caterham Valley is just at the end of the row of shops going towards Whyteleafe, and we're very lucky to have such a great and authentic family run Thai restaurant in Caterham.

The food is consistently wonderful and fresh and always nicely presented. Sallie and her team are always friendly and helpful too.

If you've not tried Thai food before, think of it as a cross between Indian food, which is typically heavier, and Chinese food which can be gloopy and sometimes not the best quality; while Thai food is light and full of natural flavours.

Bua Thai is definitely worth a visit.

So last Saturday we ordered a meal for all of us, and the food (probably one of the nicest Thai red duck curries) was fantastic! Really good. The flavours were amazing.

This evening, ordered the same and it was terrible. It was honestly as though it was cooked by a completely different restaurant!Maybe it was a one off, but we were a little disappointed.

We love this restaurant.
Excellent authentic, freshly cooked food. We visit regularly and taken many friends.
Sally is a superb host and can’t recommend her, Tony and their team highly enough.

Really disappointed. First time ordering from here for delivery. Waited 45 minutes and the wrong order was sent. Had to wait an additional 20 minutes for the right one to come. Then when it did my order was wrong and had onion when I am allergic so had to wait again for them to send one. The food was not great for how expensive it was £90 for a family of 4 starter and main.

Staff friendly, food, not as good as last time, service sluggish, but put this down to a large table. The owner/manager comes across as brash and cocky. We left £4 on a £40 bill and asked if we could add an extra £2 she snidely laughed and said forget it it’s not worth it, it will cost me more in tax.
OK.
We will not be returning!
Very rude
Her attitude was cocky and hostile restaurant interior could do with an update.

Lovely meal again in this little gem. Super service, food was tasty and quick to arrive over we had decided what we wanted from the extensive menu. Particularly enjoyed the tilapia in a sweet spicy peanut sauce and the soft shell crab special. Good support and options for our vegetarian memer of the party.

We enjoyed a lovely evening here - attentive service and delicious food! After recently moving to the area, we have been looking to explore more local restaurants and thai cuisine is an absolute favourite of ours - very happy to say that we will definitely be returning!
We tried the prawn toast & duck spring rolls for starter (don't forget the mixed crackers) - all amazing. As well as red Thai curry and a duck curry special for main!! Highly recommend you try this restaurant 😍

Great restaurant! I love the food, very tasty and yummy. The staff is very kind and the ambient very cosy. Really recommended 👌
