Authentic Thai food- actually even better than I have had in Thailand because they have mastered their families’ recipes. The owners will enthusiastically explain the various menu options. Our favorites were the SENLEK MIXED BEEF which is a SLOW cooked all day beef noodle soup, the Papaya salad perfection- not too sweet an perfect crunch AND – had pork rinds served with it which I haven’t had except in Thailand, and th spring rolls were mouth watering. I strongly recommend! Note- be sure to note their early closing time so you don’t miss if you are looking for dinner.’m

We were passing through Birmingham and looking for Thai food. We went to Senlek based upon the reviews and the friendly staff. We were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is very new, well decorated and very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and very attentive. We had two different rice dishes and a papaya salad. All was great, We’ll certainly come back!
Update…. Fast forward almost three weeks and we’re traveling through Birmingham again. We had to make another stop at Senlek for a bite to eat. Once again, we were totally amazed with the food quality, restaurant, cleanliness, and extreme friendliness of the staff. Senlek is only a couple miles off I-65. It’s certainly worth a short side trip to have some quality Thai food with friendly service.

I am from bangkok and live in nyc with family down here and am so thrilled to have found a legitimately authentic Thai restaurant in the area!!! I was excited just by seeing what they offered on their menu and was not disappointed. We had the fried meatballs, papaya salad, yum beef with rice and boat noodle soup. We already planning to come back in an hour or two to order takeout for dinner and when to bring my father in law back for a taste of good thai in his area. Thank you for opening up shop

This place is downright amazing and is a hidden gem. The owner, Nop, And his wife run the restaurant and they’re the nicest people you could ask for. Every dish we’ve had here has been top-notch. When you look at the menu, you just want to say yes to everything. After you try a few things you’ll know that everything on there is worth ordering. I happily recommend the boat noodle bowl! It’s hard to go wrong here. Everything is so fresh and clearly made to order.

The food was delicious and the place felt like a warm, family owned restaurant. Easily the best Thai food I’ve had in recent times, you can feel their passion for Thai cuisine when you eat here. The small menu is a big plus because everything is clearly made with care. Everything tasted authentic and reminded me of the food I’ve had in Thailand. Will definitely keep coming back.

We picked Senlek Thai for our date night this evening based on glowing google/facebook reviews and I’m so glad we did! We were welcomed very warmly upon entrance by the owner Nop and seated immediately. He asked us a few questions about our experience with Thai food and made several dish recommendations based on customer favorites and what we said we liked. He also accommodated spice preference and assured us they could adjust the levels for almost every dish on the menu, which was great because I have family members who can’t handle any spice, while I love it! The menu had so many good items we ended up ordering several dishes and every one of them was incredible! For this trip we went with the steamed dumplings, papaya salad, spring rolls, the sticky rice with crispy pork belly, and the Thai basil stir fried noodle special. We loved all the food and couldn’t decide which dish was our favorite because all five were flavorful and kept us going back for more. We can’t wait to bring more people to this gem of a family owned business and will be working our way through the fantastic menu!

This place is awesome, one of the most wholesome restaurants I’ve ever eaten in, top to bottom. Very clean and fresh, genuine Thai food. Every time you walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile from the lovely family who runs it. Take care of this treasure of Hoover. I recommend the pork belly! Thank you Nop!

The tom zap is unbelievable. The most tender braised beef you could imagine with tendon (cooked to a lovely, delicate texture) in a broth I would bathe in.
The owner Nop is a true professional of service – he makes you feel welcome and I get the feeling he wouldn’t let you leave the restaurant dissatisfied.
Support your local businesses, especially this one! Best Thai on this side of town!
