    The food was amazing as usual but after the initial drinks order and then ordering the banquet, the service was non existent. This wasn’t even a busy time either so lots of servers available with not many tables full and no one approached our table of 7. After entrees there was a bit of a wait for mains and again no offer to take drink orders. While we were halfway through eating our mains two servers came over separately to tell us they needed the table in 5 mins. We asked for take away containers and attempted to finish our meals in time. While paying there was no attempt to quickly clear the table even though they suggested they needed it. There were also other tables available for others to use. Such a shame as this is not the experience I’ve had before.

    We booked a table for 4 at Thaiger Temple and were happy to be seated outside as it was a very warm evening. The traffic noise was a little tricky at times, but otherwise fine. Our wait staff were fabulous, the first lovely young lady giving us lots of menu suggestions which were excellent (duck curry, pork with chilli and basil, beef mussaman). We chose entrees of money bags and curry puffs which were fine but a little over-fried. The wine list is good without being a novel and not hellishly overpriced. At $50pp (including a 10% tip) for 2 entrees, 3 mains, rice and a bottle of white, it was very reasonable on the wallet. A definite repeat visit coming up, and once again, can't rave enough about the service - happy, friendly staff who know their menu.

    We are frequent visitors to Thaiger Temple. Our family sat outside this warm summer night to celebrate a birthday. Staff are happy for us to bring along a cake, keep it refrigerated till needed, and then present it to our table with the candles lit. Favourite entree is crispy soft shell crab, and favourite mains include porkbelly pad thai, Penang duck curry, and chicken pad see ew.

    Was impressed with the efficiency of the wait staff and then the serving sizes and more importantly the tastiness of the dishes. Well done team!

    Amazing food, Massaman lamb shank the best, we had the coconut ice cream to share for dessert and it was delicious. The cocktails were what you would expect at a five star establishment. Zoe the hostess was fabulous, nothing was to much trouble for her and her team.

    We had a great time at Thaiger Temple. The service and atmosphere was fantastic and the food delicious. We loved the duck spring rolls, pork belly pad see ew and crispy soft shell crab. The fried chicken was pretty good, but we wouldn’t order it again as it wasn’t a stand out. We aren’t local but I hope we can eat here again one day!

    Food and service were excellent as always. Only criticism was the time difference in the four mains coming out. Would still highly recommend.
