Phusiam Takeaway - Shetland Islands

I had a delicious meal at a reasonable price. The restaurant was warm and welcoming, and I would definitely return. It's one of the few Thai restaurants in Shetland.

We enjoy eating Thai food, so we decided to give this restaurant a try since it had good reviews. However, the ambiance was disappointing with bright lighting and melamine tables adorned with Thai-style runners. I ordered a glass of house white wine, but it had a strange aftertaste and wasn't very enjoyable. My husband ordered a half of Tiger beer, but they brought a pint instead, which had to be returned. For our main courses, I ordered a Massaman curry with salmon and my husband ordered a prawn red curry. Unfortunately, both sauces tasted very similar and weren't very appetizing. My curry was overly sweet and contained large slices of potato, which is not a common Thai vegetable, along with a few tomatoes. Overall, we were not satisfied with our experience and will not be returning to this restaurant.

If you enjoy Thai cuisine, then this restaurant in Lerwick is a great choice. The interior is very clean and the staff are polite and friendly. The menu offers a good variety and is perfect for those new to Thai food as it is not too spicy. However, as experienced Thai food enthusiasts, we found the dishes to be slightly lacking in spice. The Thai fish cakes were enjoyable but could have used more flavor. The chicken satay was served cold, which was a bit unusual. On the other hand, the chicken massaman was delicious and the sirloin steak choo chee was also tasty, though a bit under-seasoned. The restaurant is popular with locals and offers a good takeaway option. It is worth noting that it is open on Mondays, which is uncommon in Shetland.

We both started with hot and sour soup and then had a vegan stir fry and a chicken red curry, all full of flavour, washed down with a decent bottle of wine. Good price, a bit basic room and decor, but the food was excellent.

Absolutely awful food. Cold dry chicken satay. Something that was supposed to be a Massaman curry terrible. Even my drink was flat
