Erawan

Turned up without a booking at 8.30pm and they were very accommodating. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Food came out quickly. Flavoursome and authentic. Extremely good value for money. We went all out with food and the bill was less than £125 including service. Recommend the beef and noodle dishes I ordered, they were great.

Great meal, served quickly, no greasy at all and amazing flavours. As vegetarians/ pescatarians there were plenty of options and love that it's BYOB

My husband and I recently visited Erawan for our anniversary dinner, and we were thoroughly impressed. Thai cuisine is our favorite, and we’ve dined at many Thai restaurants over the years, Erawan came very close to being our absolute favorite! The food was absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was also excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome. The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small and gets very busy, so it was quite loud, making it hard to have a proper conversation. Despite that, we would definitely go back because the food alone is worth it! Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Thai cuisine.

Hidden gem in lewes, food came quick & service was great. Everything was fantastic, the duck in particular was amazing. Will be back!

This is by far the best and most authentic Thai food I have experienced in the UK! My wife is half Thai and has lived there and even she was amazed at some of the dishes available here that we haven't found anywhere else except Thailand itself. Its a BYOB, which we didn't mind at all. There is a corkage fee but it wasn't over the top by any means. The staff were lovely and were very quick to accommodate anything we asked for, including things like providing small bowls so we could share a larger soup like a starter and other random requests. If you are a fan of Asian food or especially Thai food and can get over to this restaurant I cannot recommend it enough! The venue is small, however, so it's best to book in advance as there's no guarantee you could get a table otherwise.

Id accept a cold reception, cramped conditions, having a 1hr15min window and being rushed to order, eat and leave if the food was exceptional but this isn't the case and the duck starter had freezer damage. There also wasn't another customer waiting so the hurry felt unecessary

Tiny BYOB Thai restaurant with an amazing wood decor. The food was fantastic and the service was faultless. Great little atmosphere. I would book to ensure a table. Love it!

Me and my wife booked a table for dinner, both ordered a chicken massaman curry, one with sticky rice, the other with coconut rice. My wife is coeliac and they catered for her with no issues, she felt fine afterwards and the day after. Also bear in mind, they do only have benches, no chairs with backs, some benches are against walls though. It was the best curry we've ever had, and we go to Thai restaurants everywhere we go, it was just incredible, we even ordered 2 more chicken massamans to take away for dinner the day after, if you're in Lewes and looking for somewhere to eat, eat here!

This is a small, inevitably crowded restaurant so have patience and get there early if you can. That said, the food could hardly be faulted - it's better than many a so-called Thai restaurant in East Sussex. There are photos to show their style. We enjoyed the food, and the wine from next door (Erawan is a BYO restaurant), not to mention its proximity to Lewes railway station. Two of us ate Thai duck, Vegetable Tempura, Red Thai Curry and Pad Thai, in no particular order (see the photos). The main downside was two 'jack-in-a-box' women crowding us by non-step texting, even whilst eating, and leaping up every few minutes for a confab in the corridor, plus a slightly disruptive but pleasant party on our other side moving between two tables. We'll be back soon.
