During my stay at the hotel beside them, I was thrilled to have tried this restaurant twice during my stay!
The food is INCREDIBLE! Never have I been so satisfied with flavours, price, atmosphere, service and concern for my allergy!
When I went first my myself, they were very kind and greeted me and didn't mind seating me alone. At the end of the meal I was offered a hot towel and a chocolate. I felt like royalty! It was so fancy!
The inside decor is stunning, so beautiful and transports you into another world entirely. So charming we will be making a special trip back just to enjoy it again for a date night!
A few nights later we ordered take out to bring back to the hotel. We ordered Chicken Phad Thai and mixed veg in soya sauce. My husband wanted to make sure it wasn't oyster sauce as they do have it on the menu and I am allergic to shellfish. I did let them know as I placed the order.
When I called back to triple check, they not only actually checked with the chefs, but also assured me it was in soya sauce and a broth, no oyster sauce and also didn't include prawn crackers for me as they wanted to be safe!!!
BEST. MIX. VEG. I've ever had in my life! The fresh garlic is outstanding and makes quite the difference and impact on flavours! My husband is a qualified chef and he was so pleased, we almost called back to place another order!
Simply divine, if you want a lovely meal with very reasonable prices, I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!! Best meal I had all holiday!
Thank you thank you can't wait to come back! <3
Vegetarian options: Some dishes can be ordered with a choice of meat or veg.
Dietary restrictions: Very careful with allergies - makes me feel safe to eat there.

Easy to get to the restaurant. Parking spaces are available adjacent to the restaurant and on the opposite road. The interior was beautiful and felt very magical! We were greeted by a lovely lady and did not have to wait very long to be seated. The staff were kind and understanding when we suddenly had to leave early during our booking. The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful. We had the thai curry, lamb pieces, chicken satay, and grilled chicken sizzler, prawn crackers and some drinks. The bill was reasonably priced. Everything but the duck is halal which we were happy about!
The only con is the seating area (very close to other tables).
Dietary restrictions: Other than the duck, everything else is halal.

Myself and my partner went in December for a very rare spontaneous date. The parking is down the side. The restaurant is honestly beautiful inside, the service with a smile and is just so nice and calming. Truly is one of the best places around milton keynes and the surrounding areas for food. I didn't get to see their nature garden due to the season but you must must try their food and atmosphere. The food is is unbelievable and there are dishes for myself and my partner who is vegetarian. Food comes in reasonable time and the price is also very reasonable. Give it a go!

Being Thai, I just wanted to try some of the thai restaurant around MK. Pop in for a family lunch. Restaurant was beautiful, shame the garden seating area was not opened,it looked so nice on their website. Food was not bad, We had mixed seafood starters and chicken satay, spicy prawn crackers, stir fried scallop, grilled sea bass in banana leaf, stri fried egg noodles with beef and sticky rice. No sign of any Thai staff at all. But the staff were impeccable, provided top notch service. Like I said before, people have different taste buds/pallet. Give it a go and see

Lovely cosy restaurant with great service and awesome food.
The only thing I would say is that, while I understand that they are trying to create a warm, elegant and cosy atmosphere, the lights are way too dim. I couldn't read my menu and had to use the flash from my camera - not ideal!
Having said that, I will be certainly be dining there again.

Had a wonderful meal at Blue Orchid last night. The outside area was beautiful and felt magical.
A big thank you to the staff for allowing us to order over the phone as we were arriving after last orders to the kitchen.
The service was great and we had a very enjoyable experience.
We are already planning to go back soon. Highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant. Booked here for my daughters birthday and graduation. The restaurant reserved us the special table in the middle of the Koi pond which was very nice of them. Great ambiance, service, food and overall experience.

I was so lucky to find this lovely Thai restaurant whilst on my business trip to Milton Keynes. The food was one of the best I have had in any Thai restaurants. I ordered grilled prawns for starter and steamed seabass as the main course. Both dishes were delicious, cooked to perfection with great seasoning.
The service was brilliant too. My waiter made some recommendations when I couldn't make up my mind on which dish to order. At the end of the meal a very nice lady came to my table to ask about my experience. The dishes were also readonably price making this restaurant a great choice for a high quality food.
