Rated  Went to this place since felt like trying on Chinese and a Thai cuisines. It has Shisha also and that is not that expensive. Prawn crackers are served complimentary. The Tom Yum prawn soup is well prepared and tastes good. For starters we ordered Chicken and Basil dimsums, Rice and Mushroom dimsums and Crunchy Chicken Wontons in a Tom Yum spiced Creme. All the dishes were well appreciated. Main course was Lamb in Black pepper sauce, Chili Garlic Chicken, Prawns in Thai Green curry with Jasmine rice, Pad Thai Chicken noodles and Vegetable Chow Mein. Servings are just enough - can be shared between two. The place has a nice ambience - though we found it to be dimly lit - but was complimenting the decor. Service was courteous. Price wise can be placed in the moderate bracket. Parking is available in the basement. One can definitely visit this place if fond of Chinese or Thai cuisine. zomatoguru.wordpress.com

Rated  visited this place for lunch on a Saturday.. to begin with the sitting experience we sat on the outside near the near... i found the wooden sitting uncomfortable.. also the legroom was not all tht great.. infact i hit my knees 2 times..& this was when we were jus 2 on a table or four. The service was the best part of our afternoon lunch here.. The hostess was quick & attentive.. now coming to the food .. It was a major disappointment.. Apart from the dim sum that we had rest everything was below average:..

Rated  A great place for a romantic dinner. Food is really tasty and the shisha choices are decent. Prices may be on higher side, but the service and taste makes up for it !

Rated  We went on a Thursday evening for dinner, and ordered the Chicken wings in Black Pepper Sauce, the Pad Thai and the Garlic Chilly Chicken. The Chicken wings were perfectly battered and had a medium spicy taste, the gravy used was delicious. Total of 4.5/5 The Pad Thai had a good blend of sweet and spicy-ness, the noodles were cooked properly and were so soft. The gravy used was tangy but spicy at the same time. We had to keep sipping water time and again because it was so amazingly spicy. (Lover of spice here, please avoid the chili flakes if you’re not a spice lover!) total of 5/5 The Chilly Garlic Chicken was good and it complimented the Pad Thai, but on its own it’s an average dish. The vegetables added along with it were a great combination! Total of 3.5/5 The staff were really kind and gave a fast Service. The place is very cozy and perfect for dates. Loved the color palette of the interiors, the oriental ambiance and the touch of orchids! Definitely coming back here again!

Rated  Thursday evening my wife suggested “let us try Thai cuisine this week”. Zomatoing around and asking for recommendations with close friends we came across a name ‘The Royal Orchid’ Downtown Dubai. Shaved and showered it was now time to shine. We reached ‘Royal Orchid’ with real high expectations. The menu boasted of a unique culinary experience for discerning palates with three of the most popular far eastern cuisines – Thai, Chinese and Mongolian. We were greeted by their smiling and pleasant manager Subhash. We requested to be seated outside since I was planning to blow some sheesha smoke. The outside sitting area looks pretty cozy and comfortable ( perfect for Dubai winters). The busy street and lit up trees  keep you entertained while you wait for your order to arrive, which was real quick inspite of the restaurant being fairly full. ...Read full post on umeshpherwani.com

Rated  In the mood for some Thai food in Downtown Dubai and we decided to visit Royal Orchid also because they serve shisha. The interiors of this place are so great and authentic which makes it a great ambience to dine in. Moreover, the service is also decent. The shisha though is under average. Moved swiftly on to the food as we were very hungry. The RED THAI CURRY CHICKEN was also well below average. The gravy was a little too thick and didn’t mix well with rice at all. The SINGAPORE CHILI PRAWNS on the other hand was delicious and cooked perfectly. Could have a little more spice though. Everything was paired with the well seasoned EGG FRIED RICE. Decent overall. 3/5

Rated  We ordered our dinner here, the food was ok, while everything was huge in portion. The minced chicken was quite delicious, but a bit too oily. The stirred fry with lamb and oyster sauce had a very westernised Chinese taste, but was also good. The nasi goreng was quite delicious, however, we received our chicken skewers (the ones that came with the dish) being raw!

Rated  This is downtown based restaurant famous for its Chinese and Thai cuisine..Ambience of feel of restaurant is good as interiors are nice..Service and quality of food is commendable..Though the only thing which I feel is their restrictive menu..They have very limited options in starters..i had to choose two different types of chicken with one with malt salt and other with black pepper sauce..The salt one was not at all good..Though everything I tried in black pepper sauce be it starter or main food was wonderful..
