Prices are cheap and the food is authentic. It is a popular little take-out so be prepared to wait.. totally worth it though
I've no idea how this place got such good reviews. To start with, the whole place is very greasy. I ordered red curry and there's literally only 3 tiny strips of chicken. Had to have a second lunch We ordered eat in, but they gave us take out, because it's 20 minutes before the closing time. If your opening hour is till 2, then close at 2, don't kick your customers out so you can make sure your shop is definitely closed at 2 sharp.
Great Thai at an affordable price. Just be aware they are crazy busy as a result! Food may take up to an hour to be ready after ordering cause they're so flat out but if you're well planned you'll have a great dinner!
Fantastic and consistently good Thai at reasonable prices. I wish it wasn't so great because so many people know about it now that there is often a long wait. So order early, especially on Friday and Saturday evening.
Pros:
Soooo much food for value (I can get 2 and a half meals out of one curry)
Tastes good, a lot of meat!
Cons:
Service is average
Windows are a bit dirty and the premises are a bit dated
Long wait times (up to an hour on Friday night)
A couple of times the curry has been a little flavourless, and is not always consistent.
Best thai takeaway in Chch by a country mile
Very well made take away food. Good values as well.
I ordered Tom Kah but my Thai friend said it was more like Tom Yum. Still tasty and good value
You will not find a better intersection of value for money and taste in all Christchurch's Thai food offerings (believe me I've tried so many!)
ZAB THAI IS FIRE.
THIS PLACE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND WITH IT'S AMAZING FLAVOURS AND GREAT PRICES AND PORTION SIZES.
FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T TURN OFF CAPS LOCK.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES, 5 AND A HALF STARS.
Bad phone orders, told we can use our own glass container, we arrived there on time which booked the time to drop it in, and they said the food are done and good to go, OMG that is not the want we were asking for. we have asked them to recook them and put them to glass container, they did not want to recook again, if you want you can take the old ordered/foods, otherwise you can leave the restaurant and go somewhere else. i not recommend this to everyone.
