    This is Thai and Japanese cousins in the club area. Fancy mood and beautifully presented dishes. It doesn't have parking, you should park in the club.

    I had a delicious Pad Thai, green curry and red curry. I'm sure their other dishes are just as promising. Great service, pretty ambience, overall lovely experience. Will definitely be back !!

    This place from the outside looks like a small shop but when you get inside, the beauty and the elegance hits you, very well decorated, neat with beautiful lighting, excellent service and great food, I honestly believe this place deserve more than what they get due the outside look

    This is the best Thai restaurant I've had in a long while. The food was authentic and beautifully executed (a suggestion for the pineapple and chicken fried rice would look a lot better if it was served in a hollow pineapple bowl). The sushi was also one of the best in Pretoria , we had the salmon platter and we only had praise for it. There are, however, some room for improvement in terms of service. The waitress that served us did a great job, but it would be better if there are more people to help with the service and the light above our table keeps turning brighter and dimmer on its own and it does ruin the atmosphere a bit. With all said and done, I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for good authentic Thai food and great sushi.

    Beautiful restaurant and delicious thai food. Taking one star away because of the disinterested waiter, who could care less that we were there and we were the only one dining. the man at reception was more welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing!

    I lived in Thailand for almost 2 years and craved Thai food. This is the most authentic Thai food I have found in South Africa! It tasted like I was back in the land of smiles. Excellent! If you are looking for authentic Thai food in Pretoria this is the place to go.

    The google maps photo of the restaurant's entrance does not do this place justice. Once you've entered it's like you enter a whole nother restaurant! It's big and spacious. It even has an outdoor seating area that's quite lovely. We enjoyed the lovely decor and overall feeling of neatness, cleanliness and peacefulness. The plants everywhere made me happy, eventhough they weren't all real, they were interspersed with the real plants. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was our first time eating Thai and we had a fussy 7 year old with us, but even she enjoyed what we got for her - dumplings and cheese and sweetcorn spring rolls. Our own food was also very tasty! We started with various dumplings and a mix of starters. A great way to try a little of everything. Such a good idea! So tasty! For our mains, I had the Massaman curry with beef and it was alao very tasty. The Green Curry also got many compliments. All in all I will be back for more!

    This does not look like a restaurant from the outside, it looks like a little take away joint. But do yourself a favour and walk in, it's really neat and big. There are a lot of nicely set tables. I had sushi and dumplings, and it was the best I've had in Pretoria.

    Tastes like authentic Thai food, with well-balanced spicyness. The calming music and stunning decor makes for an enjoyable dining expereince. Nice restaurant for a date. The food was delicious and was enough for me. Do order a starter or desset if you're a big eater. On quieter days, the waiter also helps out at the bar. You might have to stand up to get attention, depending where you're sitting. Make sure to double-check your order, the names of the dishes are in another language but ingredients aren't.

    The absolute best Sushi in town. Quiet restaurant. Beautiful interior. Devine food. Nice wine. Parking maybe an issue but there are many safe options just around the corner in parking garages. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Lotus has some of the best Thai food in the province. Add a great atmosphere and beautiful decor, and you have a wonderful experience. I hope to come back very soon for their sashimi platter! The one downside was the very slow service. It took longer for a waitress to reach us so we could order than it took for our food to arrive. This evening the tables were about 75% full, so im unsure if this is common.

    Fantastic Thai! Most authentic Thai meal I’ve found yet in Pretoria. Noodle dishes in particular were excellent. Service was great. Decor is beautiful. All around good choice.

    The food is absolutely fantastic. You cannot go wrong with any of the dishes! The atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly and helpful.

    This beautiful restaurant serves delicious cuisine. All 4 of us enjoy food very much. Our waitress was kind and attentive. We will definitely visit again. There is a little bit of parking issue, it is better to park in the mall behind and walk up.

    Unassuming place from the outside, it’s tranquil when you walk inside. Food was incredible, we had the fish cakes and chicken satay for starters, both when soft and delicate and so flavourful. I had the green curry with chicken and my brother had the spicy noodles. Both were authentic Thai. A true gem in Pretoria. Will definitely be back.
