TOR Thai Bistro

Very delicious food with generous portions. Everything tasted super fresh. Best calamari I've ever had! 10/10

Super tasty food, served in a very chill atmosphere by friendly and attentive staff. This time I tried the chicken noodle soup - can recommend, especially combined with the vinegar/pepper mixture + crushed peanuts that it arrives with.

Food was 10/10 highly quality big portions and amazing service. Great spot in Balham

Visited with friends this evening for dinner. Food was great (the drunken duck noodles were our favourite), service good and prices really reasonable. Highly recommend!

Amazing food and service in a cute little resturant! Carlo was our server for the evening and he was great! Super friendly and prompt. The food was delicious! Very fresh and flavourful. Since moving from Aus to the UK we haven’t come across a Thai place as good as this one. We will definitely be back!

Father’s Day dinner with our teens. The most delicious food. We had spring rolls and tempura prawns to start, then beef pad Thai, chicken basil, duck and rice and a Thai red curry! Kids then had Thai donuts! Everything was brilliant. The service was good but we found the waiter a little intrusive. Our table was right next to the counter and it felt a bit like he was sitting at our table!

Recently visited this Thai restaurant in trendy Balham. Took my wife out for a meal as she loves Thai food. We loved our experience. The menu was simple. The service was friendly and attentive. The wider ambience was inviting. The decor was rustic and tasteful. And the food was delicious, hot, spicy and scrumptious. We ordered the fish cakes, chicken satay and prawn Tom Yum fried rice - delicious! Will visit again.

One of the best Thai restaurants we’ve tried - the beef Panang is exceptionally good, would recommend! 🔥 They are very accommodating by catering to allergies even when ordering via Deliveroo etc.

delicious food! loved the starters, especially loved the tom yum soup. Main dish was really good ( drunken beef noodles) though beware it's a bit spicy . staff were super kind and overall just a great experience!

I’ve ordered from here twice through deliveroo & both times I got a ‘bye 1 get 1 free’ deal. This place does not disappoint, I had the chicken basil the first time, it was delicious, so much flavour & a great sized portion, I saved the free one for my work lunch the following day. Then I had the GPB Garlic Black Pepper - this was so tasty. I’m tempted to visit the restaurant after reading others reviews.

Went for dinner and found the food delicious. We were served by Carlos who was friendly and attentive! The portion sizes were generous, especially with the duck on rice I ordered, and the spring rolls were tasty. My only comment would be the high number of delivery drivers waiting outside and the door continually opening. Perhaps a curtain around the door would help solve the issue of cold air blowing in!

Great little Thai restaurant. Lovely food and nice atmosphere.

Lovely authentic Thai restaurant, curry was flavourful and very reasonably priced. Carlo was very attentive to my nut allergy too. Will definitely come back.

Great option if you like Thai food. Stopped in for a quick lunch and was very impressed with my pad thai and the service from our waiter Carlo. Great to see a local family run business open in Balham and will come back soon.

We walked in without a reservation and although the place was packed the very friendly Tony found a table for us immediately. And we were so glad he did. Wonderful, fresh summer rolls, cold beers and one of the best Massaman curries I have ever had. Lucky Balham!

The food and service was exceptional. Everything we ate was delicious will definitely be back.

Recently opened, I’m local to Balham so always exciting when something new arrives. Little date night and oh my goodness, someone find my socks because they’ve been blown off. Absolutely scrumptious Singha beer has my mouth lubed and ready. The starters came, then I came. Main courses were delicious. 10/10 experience. Would recommend.

We had such a delicious meal here. Tony looked after us so well, and the food was fantastic. Juicy dim sum, fragrant green curry and divine banana fritters. We can’t wait to come again!!!

We popped in on our way home for a quick dinner - food is really really good, staff are super friendly and service was prompt. We’ll definitely be coming back, a great new addition to Balham!

Excellent authentic Thai food, and good value for money with great lunch deals. Highly recommend the Basil Chicken Rice!

Great authentic thai food at affordable prices Best calamari in town!

Dropped in here for dinner unexpectedly and was not disappointed - it was excellent. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. Thoroughly recommend the drunken duck noodles, they were the best I’ve ever had.

Really delicious authentic thai food . We had a green curry and penang and both were delicious. Calamari starter was really nice too and great service from Carlo ! Will definitely be back .

Lovely new addition Balham. It has a lovely sweet interior with delicious, quick and fresh food - would highly recommend Side note - Had Tony as our excellent waiter!

Amazing food! The chicken basil is hands down my favourite — fresh, flavourful, and perfectly spiced. I had a great experience here from the food to the friendly staff. I’ll definitely be back!

There were 2 of us and it was Delicious and exquisite Thai food indeed. Holy WOW. The only bad thing were artificial plants which are not appropriate to create a natural atmosphere as for good vibrations. Nature rules always my best piece of advice. I'm much appreciated all above all food and high standards customer service.

HIGHLY recommend! Lovely staff that went above and beyond and were so kind! Food was delicious and came out quickly! A great new local spot for us. Xx

Haven’t been inside yet but definitely will be passing by in the summer for the Thai iced tea with oat milk, ordered it about 3 times this past week, kind of obsessed as it’s not easy to find a good Thai iced Tea in London . Also the vegan basil is delicious and Will on the phone adjusted my order perfectly . Thank you soooo much!

Food was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and attentive and the space was really lovely. Can’t wait to return and try some other dishes. Super vegetarian / vegan friendly. Love this local spot !

lovely little thai spot. staff were attentive and kind, shared recommendations etc. food was delish!! cosy vibe. tempura prawns and the chicken cashew dish were very flavourful. Banana fritter was nice and light to top it off! would go back

Decent place. Really enjoyed the papaya salad but pad Thai didn’t hit the same spot for me and I feel that it was slightly more fusion with the drunken noodles being udon instead of rice noodles. Like that the menu was super clear with having a portion that’s vegan. Good portion size too

New restaurant in Balham and recently has very good soft launch deal with 50% off! I ordered the herbal tea with coconut milk, a bit too sweet but was good, I enjoyed it. We had Panang beef curry, GBP chicken, tofu pad Thai and fried rice. Lovely people and whilst they are working on a few small issues every restaurant has when they first open, I’m sure it will be great over time.

Very nice and attentive staff who gave excellent service and made us feel welcomed. Food was nice and portion sizes are good.

The veggie spring rolls were perfectly cooked. The duck drunken noodles were not spicy enough not did it have enough Thai basil. I've had my fair share of drunken noodles (it's my favourite) both in the UK and in Thailand so I expect this dish to have a bit of a kick. To be fair, the waiter offered me more chillies (which I declined) but he shouldn't have had to. I did provide feedback to the restaurant. Hopefully the next time I go, this dish will have upped its game. The service was great and I felt well looked after.

A mixed experience visiting one of the new kids on the Balham block. 3 of us were sat down and ignored for 15 minutes. When a member of staff did approach us it was to ask if we were ready to order food, despite it bring obvious we were sat with no glasses or drinks at out table. Drinks and food were ordered together eith a fairly long wait. Two dishes came but the third did not arrive until we were on the last mouthfuls of our dishes, meaning one of us was just starting to eat as our other plates were cleared. We asked if the delay could be reflected in the bill, even just take off one of the drinks, but no reduction was given. The style of the venue is a little odd, nothing inside suggests it is Thai, a very generic setting. On the plus side, and it's a big plus, the food is excellent. Three different mains and all were top notch. They also have Singha on draft, which i prefer to bottled Thai lager. It feels like there are tweaks to be made to improve things but presently I think I'd swerve the venue and order takeaways.

underwhleming but not awful calamari was large but no flavour green curry was more of a soup

Not authentic Thai at all. We had takeaway, so can’t comment on the restaurant itself but the food really did not hit the spot. The pad Thai was a bright red and didn’t quite taste like a traditional pad Thai. The portion of corn cakes were heavily battered with not a lot of corn. The green curry didn’t taste like any green curry I have ever had (in Thai land or the uk) it was under seasoned, lacked any flavour and had zero spice. It felt like a very home cooked English version with red peppers and regular aubergine, not the usual specialty Thai variety which I would expect a restaurant to source. The coconut rice again didn’t have a lot of coconut flavour compared to others I have tried. I understand my order is a very anglicised/tourist version of Thai food to begin with but I would still expect more and have had better even in the uk. We were left very disappointed to say the least.

The restaurant offers basic service with simple but decent quality at a fair price. However, despite having seating for around 20 guests, it does not provide restroom facilities for customers. Patrons are instead directed to use toilets at nearby businesses, which is inconvenient and unusual for a dining establishment.

I ordered from a food delivery app with the delivery estimation being 30 minutes. I called the restaurant twice when this time had passed, and each time I was told it would be delivered in the 'next 15 minutes'. Our food was delivered 2 hours after ordering and was underwhelming. I would have appreciated honesty from the restaurant each time we contacted them.

Food was terrible, customer service was atrocious. Better Thai restaurants around balham.
