Hey all,

I often see people talking about the Bird restaurant.

Which one is it? Google tells me there is a Bird Snackbar and a Bird restaurant both on Zeejidk.

Going there for lunch so hoping for a quick reply haha!!

Same ownership. The main difference is that the restaurant is seated with table service whereas the snack bar is takeaway only.

I've never been to either myself, so I'm not sure how much - if any - variation there is between the menus.

Thanks Jimmy! Much appreciated

Well.. Gotta say... That was some of the best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand!

Actually no, not anymore. I talked to the owner of the snack bar a couple years back, he said they sold the restaurant because they were doing enough business with the snack bar and the rent on the restaurant was too high. The new owner of the restaurant kept the name because of how highly it’s rated on all the review sites. So technically, the snack bar is the “real” Bird. That’s not to say the restaurant isn’t good, I couldn’t say, I e only been to the snack bar, but they are different.

I haven't seen any decline in quality, or any significant change at all, since the main restaurant sold.
I prefer the restaurant. Much larger menu, and I prefer to sit for my meals.
The food at the snack bar is also fine, and I like to stop for soup in the winter.
In the summer is is so damn full that I never get a seat.

Weasel

I have been getting at least 1 take away a week from The Bird and the quality definitely went up during lockdown. So much so that I would recommend that if you’re in the city now it’s definitely worth the visit. I have eaten at the restaurant probably 6 or 7 times and although it is good the Takeaway is definitely better. Bon appetite
