We wanted to have something a bit different for Shabbat so
I ordered food from Thai Bar.
I went for the "deal" that they offered – receiving
a portion of noodles with vegetables for buying two main courses, at 42
The entire bill, for the three of us, came to 168.70
It was not until I had completed my order that the man who
took my order told me that the 30% off that they give on Fridays was not
effective because of the "deal".
As a result, I paid about 28
When the "Pagoda" restaurant in Tiberius was
kosher I ate there any number of times. I never thought twice about the price,
because the food was very nicely prepared and presented in a lovely ambience.
I am told that there is a very good, kosher, reasonably-priced
Thai restaurant in the new mall in Carmiel.
I would suggest that you go to either of those restaurants,
in accordance with your kashrut observance or lack
thereof, if you enjoy a good meal and like to feel that your money has been
well-spent.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a meal that is a
perfect balance of uninspired food, grit in unwashed vegetables, a 42 NIS a la
carte portion of "lemon chicken" that turns out to be nothing more
than schnitzel cut into strips with a side of sauce that doesn't resemble lemon
and the feeling of having been totally ripped off, then there is a restaurant
for you – Thai Bar in the She'arei HaIr Mall in Tzfat.
Before writing this notice to the public I called Thai Bar. I spoke to a waitress and told her why I was
dissatisfied. She told me that one of
the managers would be in touch with me. No
one called. Their generalized disdain for the public is expressed in so-so food
at exorbitant prices, "deals" that turn out to be rip-offs and a too-bad-if-you-don't-like-it
attitude.
This restaurant deserves a moon – not a star.
