Taste of authentic Thai at Thai Xpress
All of this happened when a talented 22 year old studying in Canada came to Bangladesh for his vacation. Thai Xpress, the brainchild of Alif Hasan is a brand new restaurant which debuted as he fostered the idea of sharing his fascination of Thai food with the people of Bangladesh.
While talking about his venture into the culinary industry, Alif said, "I had some time on my hands and I was looking for a challenge. I have been to Thai Xpress in Canada, Singapore and Malaysia and I absolutely love their food. Since they have no plans of branching out here in Bangladesh, I decided to bring that taste into something very similar. My intention is to offer the quintessential taste of authentic Thai food in a very reasonable price range."
Situated at the bustling heart of central Gulshan, Badda and Niketon, Thai Xpress is located at a corner of the 5th floor of Police Concord Plaza. And since its inauguration which was held on 26 December, 2016, this place has already won the hearts of many people.
The very first thing about this pace that catches the eye is its themed decor. As you enter the restaurant, you can see a live kitchen where the chef is preparing the dishes right in front of everyone. With excellent lighting, fine seating arrangements and the innovative wall painting along with the colorful lanterns hanging across the rooms, the places gives off the essence of the streets of Thailand.
Of authentic Thai cuisine, their menu includes a myriad scrumptious dishes like Thai curry and dishes in delectable variations of chicken, prawn and beef, delicious appetisers including papaya prawn, chicken wings, soups, salads and dumplings, and of course Pad Thai. The flavoursome dumplings with a zesty dip was definitely one of their best dishes.
The assortment of fresh vegetables incorporated in their fried rice says a lot about the quality of their food. But the highlight of their menu is the Holy Basil which is also a personal favourite of the owner himself. Commenting about the food, Alif said, "Our chef has 18 years of expertise in Thai cuisine. He has experience working at many Thai restaurants. And in order to maintain the authenticity, a lot of ingredients that we use are imported from Thailand."
The greatest thing about this place is the accessibility of the world famous cuisine in such reasonable prices. Their excellent service is also worth mentioning as they tend to each customer with ample care and patience.
When asked about the future plans regarding this place, Alif said, "I have high hopes regarding my restaurant and I wish to create a brand that sells quality food. In a lot of cases, emerging restaurants often fail to maintain their quality. We don't want to profit much, we just want to provide great service."
Very soon they will be available on Foodpanda and Hungrynaki services.
For anyone eager to taste great food with friends and family, Thai Xpress provides the best Thai food experience. For the undeniable taste of their world famous cuisine provides absolute value for money.
Thai Xpress is located at Police Concord Plaza, Gulshan 1. Working hours: 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.
