Gets incredibly booked up but managed to find us a table outside. Probably the best Thai food I have ever eaten. So fresh and uncomplicated

Fabulous tasty Thai with exceptional flavours of Thailand and just the right amount of spice… each dish is different with aromas from the kitchen and the quirky tables and chairs giving the quaint small restaurant great vibes. Can’t wait to revisit… thank you to the team at Olis for a superb lunch celebration 🙏🥳

A superb Thai restaurant, with excellent food, and service. I love that dishes are a little bit different. I have never had duck panang before, and it was delicious. The green curry was good, but nowhere near as good as the duck panang. We didn't have a reservation, so we showed up right at 5 pm when it opened and snagged on of the two walk-in tables.

Not local and been meaning to go. Was worth the effort. Lovely staff giving great advice as I know nothing about Thai cooking. Decent portions, made to order. Loved the subtle flavours in the curry. Will return.
