Journalist Richard Jackson said, ” Green chicken curry … is the default dish when I eat Thai food and any place worth its salt needs to get it right. This one really hits the spot. The meat was soft and tender and the sauce was fragant - the coconutty base perked up with basil and coriander - and pleasingly spicy. Alongside were stir-fried beef (with a kick of chilli) and pork (with a mild garlic flavour). Both were simple but beautifully cooked dishes …”

Thai Edge in Brindley Place will be marking Songkran, the Thai New Year festival next month.

Thai New Year

Songkran, the traditional Thai New Year, is from the 13th - 15th April. The date marks the end of a 12-month cycle and the beginning of a new solar year, as the sun moves into Aries in April.

Songkran is officially a three-day festival. On the first day, firecrackers are usually lit to send the old year on its way and ward off evil spirits, whilst homes and gardens are given a good cleaning. The most important aspect of the day is the cleaning of Buddha images.

The second day belongs to neither the new year or the old year and it is thought to be particularly bad luck to argue on this day. This day is also used to prepare food, which will be given the following day to monks and temples for merit making.

The third day is the equivalent of New Year’s Day in the West. It is also the last opportunity for people to let their hair down and the party starts early and continues until dusk.

Traditionally, celebrations will commence with a Buddhist priest performing a simple good luck ceremony. Buddhist monks will perform a symbolic gesture washing statues of Buddha to bring good luck.

Water is also definitely at the heart of the Songkran festival In Thailand. The enthusiastic water-throwing that fills the streets is symbolic of washing away sins and bad luck at this time, providing a clean slate for the new year ahead. It is normal to see people soaked with water, which is welcome relief from the April heat in Thailand, but not so much in cooler Brum!

Customer Testimonial

Yesterday evening my brother and I took my elderly mother to your restaurant for her birthday

The food and surroundings were excellent but what made it so special was the staff who did so much to make it special for her. She loved you all singing happy birthday!

Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved.

Best wishes to you all,
Bridget & Stuart Robbins

March’s Twenty Four Seven magazine review says, “Thai Edge restaurant is a great place to dine out for anybody who likes their food to feature a sophisticated range of flavours. Quiet, contemporary, and blessed with staff who are friendly and attentive yet know how to keep their distance, the eatery is a great place to enjoy a thoroughly rewarding dining-out experience. It’s not the cheapest, but you’re likely to leave feeling that you’ve had value-for-money. You’re also likely to want to pay a return visit some time soon.”
