We had a family meal here. We learned that Jim and his wife are the owners. They are lovely and really friendly. The menu is varied but not at all complicated which is brilliant and you have the taste choice of mild medium or hot for the meal you choose. The food was freshly cooked and tasted fab.
There is no parking at the restaurant, but there are carparks close by, so not a problem.
There was a larger group having a birthday party when we got there but it didn’t interfere with our group and added to the fun atmosphere.
We will be going back again and happily recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat good food in Taunton.

We were travelling up from Cornwall to visit family in the North and wanted a Thai meal to break up the journey, we googled ‘best Thai food near Junction 26 on the M5 ‘ and opted for The Lotus Flower . Wow were we impressed. A no nonsense, family run , restaurant , where we were treated like old friends and served the most delicious food . A menu that wasn’t overly complicated but had something for everyone. The food was served hot, the portion sizes were ample, all our dishes were well cooked and delicious. Price wise – very competitive at under £60 for 2 soft drinks, 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 different rice dishes . We couldn’t fault anything , if we could give 6 stars we would . We would whole heartedly recommend you pay a visit and we will definitely be back .

The lotus flower offers the best most authentic Thai food. Over the years I’ve been having takeaway or being in the restaurant, the food has been exceptional!
Always fresh, clean, full of flavours and doesn’t make you feel heavy after the meal.
I know people love Chinese and Indian takeaway, but I believe Thai is better than both.
If you have dietary requirements or want to swap any ingredients in the meals, they always accommodate. As well as accommodating the level of spice.
If you want to support a local business in taunton or if you’ve never tried Thai but love a takeaway, this is the place to order from!

The most amazing service and incredible authentic food. Vegan/vegetarian menu has a lot of choice. We have had takeaway from here plenty of times but sat in for the first time tonight and it was definitely worth it. Our spend per person includes food sides and a couple of alcoholic drinks. Extremely good value for money.

Stopped in this place while cycling through and it was really excellent. Service from the owners was really attentive and personal. Good was fresh and super tasty. I also left my coat and they were super helpful the next day. Great place!

The food was sadly very bland although hot, but hey, fair enough, it’s a long way from Thailand to Taunton and perhaps the flavours got lost in translation. The service however was wonderful. The restaurant itself was very sad-looking and had an odd musty smell of damp. We visited in Niv 2025..
