I went here for lunch on Saturday. To be honest the only reason we went was because town was mad and there were queues out the door for every other place that we tried. My dining partner had been to Dusit before so we gave it a go for lunch.

Dusit is beautifully presented and they do a lunchtime menu for £10.95 for 2 courses. I started with a lovely Thai salad which was just the right size for a starter, for my main I had a chicken curry which was quite spicy! The food was good but it came at funny times... I had my main about 5 mins before my dining companion did which was a bit annoying.

The staff were very pleasant but there were far too many on. It's obviously good to have attentive service - but it was a bit excessive.

I would still definitely recommend Dusit and would like to go for an evening meal. If Thai is your thing and you fancy reasonable lunch - I would recommend Songkran over Dusit.

I have been here for dinner twice and have always had a good meal. The platters to share that they do for starters are amazing as can give everyone a taster of things and doesn't fill you up too much. The staff are very attentive but as jcaughey said they are almost too attenttive. Sometimes you just want to be left to eat your meal. The restuarant is always very busy in the evenings so you will need to book in advance.

The food is good but the prices are also high. If you don't get a special deal (2 courses for £10.95 etc) you will pay but it is worth it for a special occasion or a treat.
