Sukhothai Thai Restaurant

If you're ever wandering through Gravesend and find yourself craving something fragrant, spicy, and full of flavor, Sukhothai Thai Restaurant on 6 Windmill Street might just be your new favorite go-to. Nestled in the heart of the town, this spot brings a vibrant slice of Thailand to Kent with an inviting atmosphere, an extensive menu, and a whole lot of authentic Thai soul.

From the moment you step in, the cozy interior and subtle Thai decor set the tone-simple, warm, and perfect whether you're flying solo for dinner or meeting friends for a relaxed lunch. The seating is wheelchair-accessible, which makes it a more inclusive space for diners, and the staff are known for being both attentive and respectful of your space.

Now, let’s talk about food-because that’s really what we’re here for. The Pad Kapraow Chicken is one of those dishes that just hits all the right notes. A beautiful balance of basil, garlic, and chili, it's bold without being overwhelming and tastes just like the streets of Bangkok. The heat builds gently with every bite, and the portion size is solid-generous without being over the top.

If you’re new to Thai cuisine or just want to sample a bit of everything, the Mixed Starter is the perfect gateway. Think spring rolls, satay chicken, prawn toast-crispy, juicy, and deeply flavorful. It’s the kind of plate that gets demolished in minutes, especially when paired with a cold Chang Beer or a glass of house wine. And yes, they serve both.

For something a bit more soothing, the Chicken Red Curry offers that classic Thai comfort: creamy coconut base, tender meat, and just enough spice to keep your spoon coming back for more. It's hearty but not heavy, and pairs beautifully with jasmine rice. Want something fresher? Their Yam Talay-a seafood salad that’s zesty, citrusy, and slightly spicy-is a refreshing break from the usual curry routine.

What makes Sukhothai Thai Restaurant stand out isn’t just the food, though that’s clearly the star. It’s the flexibility in service that adds to the experience. You can sit down for a relaxed dinner, grab takeaway on a busy day, or even get your favorites delivered straight to your doorstep. Whether you’re a vegan, vegetarian, or just looking for healthier dining options, they’ve got you covered with a variety of small plates and plant-based dishes.

It’s also worth noting that they serve until late-perfect for night owls or those who get random cravings for curry at 10 PM. Plus, they offer not just beer and spirits but also coffee, so you can wrap up your meal with a strong brew or wind down with dessert and a wine pairing.

In a town filled with the usual takeaway joints and predictable dining spots, Sukhothai Thai Restaurant brings something different-bold, unapologetic flavor, warm hospitality, and a little bit of Thai magic right on Windmill Street. Whether you’re a longtime Thai food lover or just dipping your toes into the cuisine, this is the kind of place that earns a return visit. Probably many.
