iFood Thai Taste

iFood Thai Taste sits on Sidwell Street, one of Exeter's main routes for cheap, fast, genuinely good food, and it's built its reputation on Thai street-food classics done properly rather than a westernised set menu. Tom yum soup, green curry with beef, pad Thai chicken noodle and massaman curry all show up, alongside stir-fried dishes like sweet and sour and spicy chilli and basil leaves that regulars order by name. Crispy wontons and a seafood salad round out the starters.

It's a small, functional operation geared toward dine-in, takeaway and delivery rather than a long, lingering meal - most mains land under a tenner, which keeps it busy with students and workers from the surrounding streets as much as visitors passing through. The wok work is the strong point: dishes arrive hot, fast, and with the kind of chilli heat that suggests the kitchen isn't dialing things down for a British palate. It's the kind of place locals return to on a weekly basis rather than save for a special occasion, and the reviews reflect that consistency.
