verona Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Not been yet but I had a look at the menu and it is expensive. You would think with them owning a Thai supermarket and cutting out the middle man they might have been at bit more competative in their pricing for that area where you can get a far cheaper meal without dipping out on quality. I know all Thai restaurants are expensive, but I can't see why now that the products and ingredients they use a far more easily available and so should now be on par with Chinese restaurants.

I don`t really think that`s that relevant. I`d say the value there is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell us what it's like and why it's reasonable value compared to all the other restaurants in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yes, and I preferred it to Baan and Inter. Our meal there came to just over £30, it was good food and our dining experience there was very pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starters, main courses, desserts, drinks. And would you say it was good value compared to the other Asian restaurants on London Road or only to the Thai restaurants on there?

The chinese food is cheaper as are kebabs and burgers on London Road. I would say Punna is good value. We`ll go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelectric Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Whenever I've cooked Thai food it requires far more ingredients and effort than Chinese. these ingredients have to be imported which makes it expencive, but well worth it. I've not yet eaten at Punna but i've looked at the menu and it looked cheaper than Bahn Thai, and there were new, different dishes to try, I'm really looking forwards to eating there.
