ABOUT

Tucked away on Magdalen Road, Oli’s Thai is one of Oxford’s most beloved small restaurants. Known for its bold flavours and ever-changing menu, the kitchen focuses on vibrant Thai dishes made with care, balance and seasonal ingredients.

The atmosphere relaxed, and the food is anything but ordinary. Expect punchy salads, fragrant curries and plates designed to share, all inspired by traditional Thai cooking but served with a fresh, modern touch.

Oli's Thai Oxford

We love running Oli’s Thai as we are able to sell and cook so may of our favourite dishes. It’s fantastic to be on Magdalen Rd, or in ‘Magdalen Village, as it has come to be known. A fantastically vibrant and exciting area.

– Ru & Ladd Thurston, Owners
