The Lombok

Established in 1984 as the fifth Thai restaurant in all of England, Oh Boy has amassed a loyal roster of patrons. With praise from the Good Food Guide, the Time-Out Eating and Drink Guide and Egon Ronay, guests at Oh Boy can expect each and every dish ordered to be utterly delicious. Housed in a modest sized venue, Oh Boy can comfortably seat any party size and still retain a cosy atmosphere. Begin the experience with one of the exemplary appetisers, including the irresistible Oh Duck Rolls, made with crispy shredded duck, shiitake mushrooms and a tangy sauce, the delectable Khanom Cheeb, steamed parcels of crab, shrimp and minced pork covered in a soy and garlic sauce, and the sumptuous Khanom Pang Na Gai, spiced chicken spread on deep fried bread. An array of traditional Thai dishes, covering both curries and stir fries, make up most of the menu, yet the truly merit worthy dishes worth considering can be found in the Oh Boy Supreme section. Main courses that are sure to delight are the King Prawn and Scallop Nam Prig Poaw, stir fried with a roasted garlic and chilli sauce, and the Panang Goong, a fiery curry made with black tiger prawns, ground peanuts and lime leaves. A wealth of vegetarian options are available for the meat averse as well as a dessert section for any diner seeking to conclude the meal on a sweet note. Truly a Thai lovers paradise, visit the Oh Boy and see why the name applies so aptly.
