A very good and tasty alternative to burgers etc. There are enough gluten-free versions. We particularly liked the sushi. But the soups were also very good. Plus a Japanese beer on tap. A rather rare find. The service is very nice. The prices are reasonable. We'd love to come back.
RAI D’OR THAI-CUISINE TAKE-AWAY SERVICE
Some time ago, some of our friends told us how much they had enjoyed a Thai-cuisine meal in Salisbury’s Rai d’Or pub. They recommended we should try one also but we never got around to it before the ongoing lock-down started. So, we tried a home delivery meal instead.
When pre-ordering our meal, we found that the Thai reception staff of the Rai d’Or were pleasant, polite and patient – essential, if like us you are an OAP who is unfamiliar with Thai cuisine. We ordered a small selection of starters. For our main course, we ordered a selection of chicken, pork and prawn dishes both stir-fried and curried with jasmine rice. We were most impressed that the Rai d’Or catering staff were most willing to deal with dietary requirements such as gluten-free and mild curry tastes very successfully. Our order was delivered promptly, politely in individual polystyrene containers carefully packed within a larger container so it was hot and unspilled on arrival. As we were unfamiliar with Thai cuisine, it would have been helpful if the containers were labelled.
Neither ourselves nor our guests had tasted Thai cuisine before. We all enjoyed the subtle tastes of the carefully-cooked diverse-range of reasonably-generous Thai food throughout our meal and thought well worth repeating our experience. We thoroughly recommend that Rai d’Or Thai-cuisine take-away service to you. We think that it is one of Salisbury’s hidden gems.

Had a truly outstanding takeaway from here. I'm vegetarian and often the veggie dishes in restaurants lack flavour. Not here! The Tarka Dahl was one of the best I've ever had, the vegetable Korai and Bhuna were delicious, and so was the mushroom rice. Lots of vegan and gluten-free options too.
Staff were very friendly and the newly refurbished restaurant looks great. Can't wait to go back and eat there.
