Food: Fairly seasoned, modest portions

Pookies’s array includes revered dishes like the creamy Chicken Curry and the robust and well-spiced Spicy Monsoon Noodles that have left many enamoured. However, their creativity is being questioned, as are their portion sizes. The experience on the whole is neutral, with inconsistencies in freshness but a solid variety of dishes embodying the Thai heritage.

  • Great Variety

    Diverse, extensive menu with something for everyone's taste preferences.

  • Okay Taste

    Varied experiences with food; some dishes hit or miss, but generally good.

  • Not Creative

    Creative names don't guarantee authentic, traditional culinary experience.

Vibe: Pleasant views, tired interiors

A vintage-looking interior coupled with peaceful water features and gardens do give it an endearing charm. However, the runes of time are quite visible on the interiors, which makes it appear run-down, irrespective of its popularity. In addition, the noise levels tend to mar the overall dining experience.

  • Great Views

    Peaceful water features and gardens enhance dining experience greatly.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Ambiance okay, some find it dark, but generally clean and inviting.

  • Negative Buzz

    Interior run down, needs sprucing up despite restaurant’s popularity.

Perks: Cringing parking, loud voices

Dining at Pookies comes with its own brigade of challenges, parking being the foremost. The noise levels are uncomfortably high, reservations can be problematic and the place is ill-equipped to handle large groups due to its size. However, the silver lining is their more than accommodating nature towards various dietary restrictions.

  • Great For Diets

    Many options and extremely accommodating to various dietary restrictions.

  • Bad Service

    Long waits and neglect, even with few customers, leading to frustration.
