May's Thai Malaysian Cafe - Leeds

Nice food but ridiculous policy of charging for condiments . never ever seen before in thai restuarant . 30 p for one chilli ?

I’ve not had a pad Thai that good since I was in Bangkok in 2007. Absolutely perfect, just like the street vendors in Thailand. The tofu Tom Yum soup and the Green curry were also delicious. Thanks, I’ll be returning!

This is my favourite place to eat. No fuss, no frills, just tasty fresh authentic food, served quickly and at a very reasonable price. Really can 't fault it. It 's great for a quick lunch, evening meal or takeaway. ' I can only echo the restaurant 's comments out the previous reviewer being uneducated- they clearly didn 't have a clue what they were ordering. The aged chicken leg they refer to is a fantastic dish called Nasi Lemak- one of my absolute favourites (it is Malaysian, not Thai, which it does clearly state on the menu) and is as good as I have had actually in Malaysia! May 's/Nan 's staff- keep doing what you do, I love it. Every single person I have taken here for food has been back and taken more people along. Says it all really

If the food wasn’t disappointing enough the people were even worse. Where do I start? My housemates and I were looking forward to a lovely Thai meal- as we so often enjoy and decided to try a new eatery. Big mistake. We ordered £40 worth of Thai food and were so excited. Food was ready in 15 minutes, we picked it up and began to plate up! A list of what was wrong with the food: Beef was barely cooked, curry sauce was watered down, satay chicken smelt of feet, coconut rice had no hint of coconut, soggy chips, the amount of chilli was enough to use in serval dishes and the worst meal was what appeared to be a 3 day old chicken leg served on a bed of microwaved rice and crispy anchovies. We were not happy. We rang up immediately and politely explained we were hugely disappointed, only to be told that they did not care for what we had to say, that we would not get a full refund, aggressive words with which we eventually bargained for an 80% refund and no apology. It doesn’t stop there. When we went back to get the refund we were told we were uneducated and to not order from their restaurant again if we did not know how to eat Thai food, we were told to F*CK off and were hurried out of the restaurant before we even had a chance to speak! We were also given old English money as the refund so had to go back a third time to get money we could actually use again. Never in my life have I been more embarrassed for an establishment, do not go here!!

My son, who is in uni digs close by, was keen to take us to this popular student eatery. The eating space has a mix of chairs, benches and cafeteria tables and felt rather strange like eating in someone's kitchen especially as when we arrived all the cafe workers were tucking into their evening meal round one of the tables. Most of our food was good my wife was disappointed with her chow mein, but our mixed starters did the job and I enjoyed my king prawn stir fry with noodles which had fresh ingredients and nice flavours. Similarly my son was very satisfied with his red thai curry. Being excellent value it's not surprising this is a good place to eat.
