If you're ever wandering around Hitchin and craving a flavorful mix of Southeast Asian cuisine, Sukawatee Malaysia & Thai Restaurant is one spot that absolutely deserves your attention. Nestled at 88 Hermitage Rd, Hitchin SG5 1DG, United Kingdom, this charming eatery effortlessly brings together the bold spices of Malaysian cooking with the comforting warmth of Thai dishes. Whether you’re dining in, grabbing a takeaway, or having it delivered straight to your door, Sukawatee hits that sweet spot of authenticity, value, and downright deliciousness.
Let’s talk food-because that’s why you’re really here, right?
The Thai Green Curry here is an all-time favorite. It's got that perfect balance of creamy coconut milk, spicy green chili, and aromatic herbs. Pair it with their Egg Fried Rice or Prawn Fried Rice, and you’re set for a meal that’ll make you forget you're in the UK. Vegetarians and vegans aren’t left out either-the Drunken Noodle with Vegetables and Tofu is both hearty and flavorful, cooked just right to soak up all those rich, garlicky sauces.
If you’re someone who likes variety on a plate, the Mixed Starter is a solid choice. Think Prawn Spring Rolls, Duck Spring Rolls, Satay Chicken, and more-all in one go. It’s the kind of dish you order when you can’t decide, and it never disappoints.
Seafood lovers, take note: the Sea Bass is a standout, especially when paired with Jungle Curry for a fiery kick. On the milder end, the Panang Curry Chicken offers a rich, nutty depth that's seriously comforting.
And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, the Deep Fried Ice Cream is a must-try. Crispy on the outside, cold and creamy on the inside-it’s the kind of dessert that makes an impression. Wash it all down with their Delish Refresh Pineapple Drink or Mango Drink, which are tropical, light, and refreshing.
Beyond the food, what really elevates the experience at Sukawatee is the ambiance and service. It’s a wheelchair-accessible restaurant with thoughtful touches, offering both accessible seating and entrance, making it inclusive and comfortable for all diners. It's also a great option if you’re flying solo-thanks to its cozy setup and quick, attentive service. You’ll feel welcome whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at lunch or settling in for a relaxed dinner.
The restaurant is also popular for late-night food runs and small group dinners. It caters to different cravings and occasions. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite, a proper sit-down meal, or even a healthy food fix (yes, they've got those too), Sukawatee delivers on all fronts.
Another thing to appreciate: the drink selection. Beer, wine, spirits, and coffee are all available. Want to spice up your Thai curry with a cold brew or wind down with a glass of wine? No problem. And if you’re a fan of small plates, you’ll enjoy nibbling through their diverse menu with options that let you try a little bit of everything.
One of the things that sets Sukawatee Malaysia & Thai Restaurant apart from competitors is its authentic blend of Malaysian street food flair and classic Thai comfort dishes. It's not just another pan-Asian fusion place-it stays true to the roots of each cuisine, which is something you can taste in every dish. Plus, they don’t shy away from spice when it’s called for (hello, Drunken Noodles), but there’s always a balance that caters to different palates.
So, whether you're in it for a curry fix, craving something crispy and fried, or just want a fresh, zingy Papaya Salad to liven up your day, Sukawatee’s menu has you covered. It’s this kind of variety and authenticity that keeps people coming back, and if you haven’t been yet, you’re definitely missing out.
