Samai Thai Restaurant and Cocktail Bar

From Bangkok to Birmingham, Samai Thai Restaurant and Cocktail Bar brings the pulse of the night market to the Jewellery Quarter.

It is a place alive with the hiss of sizzling woks, the perfume of lemongrass and lime leaves, and a soundtrack that moves in step with the evening. Street-food spirit meets cocktail-bar poise, making it as fitting for a quick lunch as it is for date nights and full-blown celebrations.

The kitchen leans into bold, balanced flavours: heat tempered by freshness, coconut richness brightened by herbs, smoke and sizzle from the wok. Classic comforts appear with a deft touch, from tom yum soup that tingles on the lips to green and red curries layered with aromatics.

Lighter bites set the tone: crisp spring rolls, chicken satay with nutty warmth, or spicy prawn tempura, while a plate of pad Thai captures that sweet-sour harmony. For a sweet finish, coconut cheesecake or even churros with chocolate sauce keep things playful.

The mood is convivial, the pace unhurried, and the welcome wholehearted, Samai is about bringing people together through food, music and culture.

Set your sights on the Jewellery Quarter and let the aromas lead the way. Book a spot, raise a glass, and let Samai wok your world.
