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

This place is a hidden gem. Doesn’t look that appealing from the outside, but once inside, its nice little cosy restaurant. We ordered many items, everything tasted incredible. Best thai restaurant ive been to, and best of all, food was well priced. The staff were amazing and humbled people. Highly recommend this place for high quality and delicious food.

I had time to kill before attending an event at the Ancaster Fairgrounds so I stopped here for dinner. I was very impressed with the food, the service, and the selection. I love Thai food, and this was some of the best I have ever had. Flavour was incredible, you can tell they use fresh ingredients, and serving size was more than enough, and I like big servings. The server told me it is just him and his mom taking care of everything, which made it even more impressive. This place will definitely make my rotation.

Stopped in to have lunch with friends. Didn’t think much about our restaurant pick except to find an easy way to meet up at a convenient location.
The food was so good. The ginger tea really nice. And, when the restataunt ran out of diet coke we saw our waiter go get more. Sir. You are a delight. We could have just had water.
Will definitely come back and we loved it!!!

Very disappointed in the customer service and quality of the food for the amount of money we spent for 4 people.
We had a long black hair deep fried around a spring roll. When it was brought to the attention of our server, she did not apologize for the human hair in our appetizer. We requested a replacement and then we were charged for it on our bill!
My daughter ordered fried rice and it was completely inedible. The rice was glistening with oil on arrival and there was a pool of oil under the rice that resembled soup.
We will not be returning not recommending this restaurant.

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!

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!

The food served here is unexpectedly good. Great presentation and great taste especially to the Tamarind delight and Mango fish! All the other 3 dishes we ordered tasted very good too! Don’t miss out on this place!

What a nice find this place was. We were travelling and did a google map search for food near us. The place doesn’t look like much from the outside but the positive reviews made us take the chance. Once you enter you find friendly staff, a really clean well decorated interior. The food was very good but a little sweeter than I’m used to for Thai food. Not deducting any stars for that it was delicious just different.
