Jasmine is far more than your average high-street Thai restaurant. For a start, their meat is carefully and ethically sourced, which indicates a high level of care and attention to the quality of the food. Secondly, the service is genuinely among the best I've experienced in the UK friendly, attentive, informative and helpful (for example, they asked if we wanted a whole steamed fish or whether we'd like the chef to prepare just a fillet). Of course this would all be for nothing if the food wasn't really, really good which it is! Flavours are amazingly fresh (I've eaten at enough just-OK places, where the food is pleasantly sweet and salty but not much more, to really notice a difference here), and the meat in my lamb curry was soft and tender. The coconut rice actually tasted of coconut (often you can just detect a hint). Prices are reasonable, particularly when compared with prices and quality at other comparable restaurants nearby. Oh, and the thing that really marked it out as a winner from the start: they give you a basket of both kinds of prawn crackers the spicy crunchy kind as well as the normal white kind so you don't even have to choose between them. Awesome. I can't recommend this place highly enough and would love to come back to try more of their dishes.
