Malagor Fine Thai Cuisine - Wakefield

Despite advertising on here and on Google that they are open Sunday from 12-8:30pm (Google) and 12-9pm on here they are not. I travelled to the restaurant and called at 2:20pm to order a takeaway (I was sat in the carpark) only to be told that the kitchen was closed until 5pm. When I offered this as a review on Google I received a very unprofessional reply from the restaurant. If this is an indication of how they treat people I will give this place a miss.

The restaurant has lot of parking outside and is a large, grandly-decorated venue to enjoy some good Thai food, as well as tasty quality drinks. It looked a great place for parties/groups to dine in and they have a pretty terrace for when it’s warmer, to enjoy dining Al Fresco. When I arrived just after opening time on a Saturday I was the first in the building! Unfortunately it didn’t get much busier on our visit, with other another party of about 6 people attending lunch time. Even though it wasn’t busy, service was a tad slow at times, but apart from that we couldn’t fault our visit. We all opted for the Thai Tapas Weekend Lunch offering; 3 mini Thai dishes and a side for £9.95. This is a real bargain as we were all satisfying full – great value for money. I went with; Chicken Satay – yummy but I would have liked more peanut sauce without asking for extra as it was fairly dry Duck Spring Rolls – crispy and tasty Sweetcorn Cakes – a popular choice as we all went with these and they were delicious! Soft Noodles – my favourite and these were cooked with a little egg spring onion and were so good, especially mixed with the sweet spicy dip the dish came with. I ate just about every last bit and washed it down with a virgin Mojito – YUM YUM!

I have dined at this restaurant in the past and have always enjoyed the freshly made and diverse dishes. However, I must admit that I was quite disappointed during my most recent visit. My dining companion and I ordered the banquet for two, which was not cheap. The first course was decent, though nothing out of the ordinary, but the main courses were extremely disappointing. The food was not served hot enough and the meat dishes were overcooked. The stir-fried vegetables seemed like they had been reheated and nothing appeared to be freshly prepared. The overall experience felt more like a low-quality takeout meal rather than a dining experience at a restaurant. As a result, we decided against ordering a dessert.

Very disappointed. The restaurant was cold remained cold. Turn on or turn up the heating! Our table was in a draft. The staff were attentive friendly. The decor is nice. I did not like the background music. I prefer authentic music. It was more pop/disco. The food was not the best thai I've had and underwhelmed really. We used to go regularly feel that it is not as good since it changed hands.

The service was lacking, but the food was good. We were instructed by a young server to sit at the bar while she checked for seating upstairs. After waiting 15 minutes and seeing her chatting with another staff member, it was clear she had forgotten about us. It took a customer at the bar to remind her, and when she finally returned, she couldn't give us a clear answer on when a table would be available and offered no apology for the oversight. We will not be returning as it only takes a few seconds to check for table availability.
