Anissa's Thai Kitchen 74 High Street, Lyndhurst SO43 7BJ

"This restaurant came highly recommended by a friend who lives in the area. I booked a table for one as I was visiting the seaside on the day. Booking system is via texts/WhatsApp outside of opening hours (5pm it open on a weekday). The restaurant is right on the small high street so no parking available, however this spot is still a short walk from parking at the New Forest bit. First, I was asked leave as I walked in with my dog and was opting for the take away menu. As we were standing outside the owner popped out from the kitchen and greeted us and welcomed us in whilst choosing from the menu. Following this the waitress came back and offered us to stay in for a meal as that night (Wednesday) wasn't too busy. I sat with my dog by the window far from everyone else closed him in the corner with his treats and little rug. I was happy that I could stay with my dog in the end have a meal. I ended up having 2 starters and a soup as the duck dish I was after they didn't have. The crispy octopus was perfect, and the pork jerky wasn't too bad either. Tom kha was a bit too sweet to my liking, however the prawns were cooked well and had specialty mushrooms in it which was a great twist to the usual. All in all we had a great time after a long day at the beaches with the pup and just delighted that I didn't have to have a take away in plastic tubs in my car in the dark before driving back home."

"Second time visiting with my family. Absolutely amazing food! Worth every penny. Staff & owner made it even better with how friendly they are. Go on, spend that extra ££ for the lamb ;)"

"An absolute delight! Chef Sutti is welcoming and knows what he's up to. We were there for a special event - a chef's table (5 course) specializing jn Northern thai cuisine and we came away happy, full and ready to go back. The portion sizes were perfect, with each dish carefully selected for taste, spice and different types of ingredients. They were paired beautifully one-after-another! I will be back !"

"Amazing menu. We had an fantastic meal trying the different starters, you won’t find jerky on many Thai menus, but we popped back the next day just to buy some to snack on with a bottle of red. The steamed dumplings were to die for and the drunken noodles were so tasty with loads of crispy veg. If only we lived closer Anissa’s would be a weekly treat. Thanks for a great evening."
