Tumnan Thai

Looking for a perfect family dining spot? We found it! I recently visited Tumnan Thai with my children and was blown away by the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a family meal. The food was absolutely outstanding! Everything we ordered was delicious - fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and flavors that had us all cleaning our plates. We left feeling like we'd found our new favorite local spot. If you're looking for amazing food and a place that truly welcomes families, don't hesitate to visit Tumnan Thai. We can't wait to return!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Had a dinner here tonight and was so impressed with the food and general vibe! Really good value for money and authentic food. Had the dumplings, rice noodles dish and green curry. Mango sticky rice for dessert. All really delicious and flavoursome. Will definitely be coming here again!

Always a beautiful experience. Like no many other places, the setting, the staff and the dishes carry something easy and comforting. Flavours are genuinely delicious and you can taste the freshness of the food. The owners are always attentive and kind. A bit of Thailand behind the corner :)

Lovely Thai restaurant, with beautiful decor. The food was delicious and service very fast and friendly.

Been coming here for months and everything just SUPERB!!! - Great food : well presented , tasty. I have tried the whole starter dishes! All amazing. ( I seriously can’t fault anything, believe me - I am very picky!!). Love papaya salad, crying Tiger , Beef massaman is a must! - wonderful service : Patty is so friendly and yet attentive, staff are cheerful and always have nice smiles 😊 ; - plus relaxed atmosphere. I always felt like I am back in Bangkok having dinner in a restaurant behind the Royal Palace. Thank you again Tumnam Thai! Can’t wait to come back for more!

Very authentic and delicious Thai cuisine ! We order duck red curry, coconut rice, seafood fried rice and Kai pao pork all of them are beyond my expectation😋 The owner and the staff also very welcoming ! Good food good service 👍🏻

What a fantastic place! Been a long time since I've been to Lavender Hill and our friends said this is the best Thai food in London After visiting, we can only agree! The food was amazing the staff are friendly, helpful and happy. Service was amazing and the price VERY affordable. Cannot recommend enough

Hands down the best Thai I’ve had in London! Authentic, fresh and flavorful. I’ve had some pretty good Thai food in London but Tumnan is the best for a couple of important reasons: - Very authentic menu with some great choices - Thai-style wooden interior that is inviting and warm - Excellent service!

Really great food and service Nelly my favourite salmon and curry prawns see you again on sunday

I personally judge a Thai restaurant on their somtam thai, yes, that crispy green papaya salad that strikes fear into the mouths and buttholes of most people but makes my mouth water. Tumnan Thai's somtam thai is properly flavored (read: actually salty and fishy!), just spicy enough to make you hurt a little but not need a tissue box, and is perfect either as a side to some curries or as a light meal in itself. The other dishes we had were mere bridesmaids to the papaya salad but were still nothing to scoff at. Panang curry was solid, tom yum soup maybe could have been more sour, but all in all solid, not-too-greasy Thai meal. Also, the service here is very attentive and it's just a chill atmosphere.

I came here last night for a birthday it was a Monday night and we were the only people in the place but it was good because we got a bit loud. I ordered the duck curry which was so yum, I only wish it had a little more spice but other then that flawless!! All my friends loved their meals too and the way it was presented and crockery was really pretty and made a nice touch. The service was really great, they went above and beyond! We gave them a cake earlier in the evening and when they bought it out they turned off every light in the restaurant while we sang happy birthday and my friend blew out the candles. Even the waiter was singing. It helped make the night a really nice and special occasion and I will definitely be going back.

This Thai place was mediocre, the food was a bit greasy and it lacked some of the things I am used to getting in a vegetarian pad Thai. For example, usually I see broccoli, cabbage, tofu, and carrots in a usual Pad Thai. This pad Thai was over cooked and had a lot of oil in the food and only had string beans and green onions. That's not to say the food wasn't good, it was just not the best Thai food I've had. Considering it was fast and they had friendly service it was a good experience. They also had ice in the their drinks which was a plus! Their fried spring rolls were good though. Overall it was a decent experience.

Yup, I'm a fan. If only just for the great service. We got here with 20 minutes to spare before a show at Battersea Arts Theatre a few doors down. Staff: Super helpful, attentive and great customer service. Maybe it's the New Yorker in me, but there are days when I want to be left alone to have a nice lax meal, and days where I am in a hurry but still want to enjoy what I can in a short period of time. This place seems to have both. There was a couple seated a ways back from us (at this point the only other people in the restaurant given the time of day) - and they were clearly enjoying a laid back meal with service attentive when necessary. Food - Yum! I'm on a health kick lately and there were only fried spring rolls so we opted for dumplings instead and they did not disappoint. I normally have quite high standards given the delicious offerings in chinatown, but these were bite size and yummy. Both my date and I had had the chicken pad thai - I may have opted for a few more pieces of chicken, but all in all this was pretty good. We had the house white wine alongside our meal - which made for a great pairing - cool and crisp alongside the nutty dish. We will definitely pop by here again in ever in the Clapham Junction area - if only for a good ambiance and great service!

We were there on Friday with live jazz! The music made the restaurant lively and was nice, but at the same time it got quite loud (it was trumpet and piano duo) We could hardly hear our conversation even from the farthest table. The restaurant was much brighter than other thai places i've been to. The staff was friendly and helpful. My favorite food there was Tord Mun Khao Phod. it's deep fried sweetcorn cakes with chopped cucumber sauce. It was so tasty that I almost wanted that to be the main dish! The mushroom coconut milk soup Tom Kha Hed was also nice for those who like sour flavor. I had a bite of Talay Phad Cha, spicy seafood mix stir fry and it was pretty tasty with chili ginger. It was poured into a sizzling iron dish at the table! My Pad Thai was a little heavy on the sauce and was salty for me, but it was still decent. We had the fruit pancake for dessert. It looked rather like fruits wrapped by crepe. The orange butter sauce was a little sour and salty and very interesting. It came with slices of kiwi, apple and cantaloupe. I enjoyed the overall dinner experience. It wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had but still pretty good.

Tumnam Thai = delicious thai. Ok so it's not your absolute authentic, 'we've just got back from Thailand so we'll only eat things we learnt at cookery school in Chiang Mai' type place, but as London thai menus go, this is very good. I've been twice to the restaurant itself where the service was customary and friendly and polite. Can you beat Thai restaurants for this? Not sure you can. Lovely settings, slightly strange attempt at a Thai temple on the outside, but we'll forgive them that is it looks decent. However, this place mainly gets my money from the takeaway service. Impressive online menu makes it easier to order and they're quick too. It'll be at your door, piping hot, with free prawn crackers within 30 mins I reckon. The curries are top notch, and I'll happily fall back on the beef red curry with coconut rice for those days when not feeling inventive, but I've moved on to their wok offers these days. The garlic and herbs stir fry chicken is amazing. Yeah it is. I'd happily cull 50 facebook friends for their tord mun fish cakes too.

I don't know why I have left it so long to write a review for this restaurant, or more to the point, why it took me so long to re-visit it. I blame London's cold/dark post-work evenings. But even then, there is no excuse in the name of good, authentic and affordable food which is literally ONE train stop from my humble abode. Tunman Thai - I used to frequent this place mid-week as I lived on Wandsworth Road so it was literally a stone's throw away. However, since moving to Balham I've gotten lazy. About 2 weeks ago I went back and was insistent on having a feast, and a feast did we have. In weeks running up to our re-visit I had a craving for 'som tum thai' (spicy raw sliced green papaya salad with sliced tomatoes and green beans topped with peanuts and doused in lime juice) which exactly what I ordered to start with. The other half had the 'peed kai yad sai' which consisted of deep fried boneless chicken wings stuffed with spicy minced pork and herbs served with a chilli sauce. Both were just perfect and to my taste, i.e. not too spicy or bland - the right balance. My salad had a good crunch to the fresh papaya and the sour lime juice was offset with the salty peanuts and spicy chilli. I ordered the Keang Massaman (slow cooked mild beef curry with potato, peanuts onions and coconut milk) with plain rice for my main. The portions were hefty (but not too big) and the rice portions were generous (think rice vat for two as opposed to the norm of two measly small rice bowls with lots of left over sauce). My taste is usually more attracted to spicy food, but as far as mild curries go, a Massaman has to be my favourite. I think it's the peanuts and creamy coconut milk texture that do it for me. Now at this point we were both pretty full - he had ordered the 'pannag ped' which consisted of slices of roast duck stir fried in red curry paste and coconut milk. Judging by the way the plate was cleaned, I think I'm safe to assume that it was pretty good. But did fullness stop us for ordering desserts? No, of course not. I went for the banana fritters with coconut ice cream. Now, all I really wanted was the ice cream, but I thought why not throw in the fritters? I'm not usually keen on fritters as I think they are typically on menus from takeaways or Asian restaurants that offer every Asian cuisine under the sun (think Chinese and Japanese offered in a restaurant with a sprinkling of Thai curries and Singapore noodles - I despise places such as these). But these, oh these fritters were different. So delectably caramelised on the outside batter and crispy with that soft mushy banana consistency on the inside with a topping of sesame seeds was just the perfect match with the coconut ice cream. 3 courses each with a coke and a beer and tip/tax came to a total of £40 - a bargain I'm sure you'd agree. I left feel almost ill from over-eating (in a good way). In fact, I'm revisiting tomorrow with my old house mate hoping to convert her. The only reason for the 4 and not 5 stars was the fact that Thai ice tea and mango was sticky rice were not offered on the menu, two personal favourites of mine. But other than that, a solid 4 stars!

I love Thai food! We went here just yesterday and I found it to be very very god. It's a bit further up Lavender Hill from Clapham Junction so, even on a Sunday afternoon, it was nice and quiet. We ordered 5 dishes plus rice for 4 adults and it was about enough. The food was tasty, the spicy dishes spicy, and the service was also very good. The only reason it's 4 stars for me is because the portion sizes were very small. I'm used to Thai food portions being quite large, especially something like Pad Thai, but we ordered 5 dishes and 4 portions of rice (originally ordered 2 but had to order 2 more) and, had we been really hungry, it definitely wouldn't have been enough. Considering the dishes are £7-10, that's not all that cheap. Still, it is tasty so I would go again!

Absolutely delicious, authentic Thai food. Reasonably priced and good sized portions, quality not quantity. We ordered Thai fish cake starters that were so tasty and came with a peanut dipping sauce, so delicious. We also had spring rolls which I'm pretty sure were handmade as the taste and texture were fresh and not stodgy. For mains we shared a Thai red beef main - different from a curry in that the sauce was thicker, I preferred it this way. We had this with chicken noodle dish that accompanied it well. I was really impressed with the standard of this for a takeaway place and would definitely order again.

The waitress was very sweet, respectful and an honour to be hosted by. As for the food, it is one of the best Thai food I've had. Couldn't recommend enough.

Not the best Thai restaurant I have ever had, but a very good deal: tasty food, lovely service and decent price. I go there often and I have never been disappointed, each time I try something new it is always a pleasure. definitely a place to go if you are on Lavender Hill.

Fantastic service and lovely staff - great food - would recommend coming here definitely :-)

Great food - perfect Pad Thai with just the right portion size. The service is good and the ambience varies from vibrant during rush hour to calm later or during weekdays. It's very well priced (meal with starter and wine for two around £30). It's also very convenient for us as it's very close to home. Love it!

Love this Thai restaurant. Always busy so has a good atmosphere, the food always is served quickly and the menu is incredibly expensive. The chicken and beef masaman are both exceptional - find it hard to choose anything else. Drinks and food both great value for money.

Maybe the best Thai I've tasted. My first time in London and the food was delicious. The service I will give a 3 but overall the food a 4.

I know that London isn't known for great Thai food, but this place seems especially mediocre. I ordered Pad See Eiw, which is pretty basic and on every menu. It's normally a wide noodle, but this dish was made on a skinny noodle which I didn't expect at all and just didn't taste right. Also had the duck curry, which was decent enough. If you can make it other there, I greatly prefer Addies in Earls Court.

On first visit, pretty good. Good mixed platter starter and decent main course of 'crying tiger' beef. Decor not bad and service polite. Needs more tests but is certainly not a fail.
