Indian and Thai meet in Hexham
DINERS in Northumberland can now enjoy two different culinary tastes under one restaurant roof.
From this weekend, December 5 and 6, The Thai Royal Orchid at Priestpopple, Hexham, will be offering a new range of Indian cuisine alongside its existing Thai food menu.
The menu expansion follows the success of the Thai Royal Orchid's sister restaurant, Siam Bay, which has offered a dual menu since opening in Whitley Bay earlier this year.
Like its counterpart the 100 seat Thai Royal Orchid, which opened in August 2008, will now serve a wide range of authentic Indian dishes including a variety of tandooris, such as lamb tikka and tandoori chicken, curries from the mild korma to the hot vinadaloo and house specials such as the Garlic Tikka Masala and Tilapia Fish cooked with chillies, coriander and fresh lemon.
This will be in addition to its popular Thai menu, which already includes a range of starters such Hoi Ob Mor Din (steamed green mussels with Thai herbs cooked in a clay pot), main courses of seafood, duck, beef and chicken including Hor Mok Goong (king prawn souffl baked with thick curry, coconut milk and kaffir leaves) and a selection of Thai salads, soups and curries.
The restaurant's owner Kaddus Miah of the Miah Hospitality Group, also hopes to create a new kitchen area within the restaurant and recruit a team of additional chefs who will specialise in cooking the Indian food
