Lantern By Nu

Great service, cool location and good vibes inside. The oysters were incredible, as was the squid. The crispy beef with sprinklings of dragon fruit was delicious 😍 Not sure if just tonight, but two of our dishes were inedible due to the chilli levels. I'm a massive chilli fan but this was....wow. Will be back to try other dishes but highly recommend giving this place a miss if you have the slightest aversion to heat.

Visited Lantern by Nu again last week and this being one of our favourite restaurants in Adelaide, we felt the food was far better the first time we visited compared to the second. But it doesn't mean the food was bad but the food choice specifically the flavour in tiger prawn was not to our liking. But overall it's still one of our favourite restaurants.

I have been to several Thai restaurants before but I don't think any of them can measure up to Lantern by Nu. When I first walked in, I loved the vibe of the restaurant, it is just esthetically pleasing to look at. The staff members are so welcoming as everyone greets you and you just feel so comfortable being here. Now let's talk about the food, which was what blew my mind. Every single dish that was severed to us was amazing. We did the feed me menu which was $65. The amount of food we got versus the quality, it was out of this world. Everything was cooked perfectly, balanced with the Thai herbs and spices that complemented every single dish that came out, from beef cheek curry, lamb curry, salt and pepper squid to the oysters. I was told this restaurant was great, but this literally blew my mind. I'm so coming back here again.

How good is this place? Very! I didn't even know this place existed, if you don't know it's there you will drive/ walk right by. We had a large group and pretty much had everything on the menu and there were no complaints. Beef cheeks, lamb curry, eggplant and chicken wings were the stand outs. The cocktails were really good as well. As good as the food was the service, the waitresses was helpful and honest. We will be coming back or at the least ordering for takeout!!

From the moment I made my booking I knew we'd be looked after here. The owner is just divine. Its like she's welcoming you in to her home. The restaurant is like nothing else I've ever been to. Hidden away on a side street, but well worth seeking out! There were 12 of us and we had the $65 ph banquet. We were all so full and content at the end, and left with containers of left overs too! Already dreaming about my next visit, and everyone else in our party felt the same. Best restaurant experience overall that I've had in years. No pics, as we were all too busy enjoying our meal!
