Thai Curry in Doncaster
The Curry, Done Properly
Thai curry is one of those dishes that's easy to get wrong - and most Thai restaurants in the UK do. At Charm Thai Cafe in Doncaster, we serve all six classic Thai curries: green, red, yellow, massaman, panang and jungle. Each one is finished in the wok per order by Rin, our Head Chef with over 10 years of Thai cooking experience across South Yorkshire.
Our curry pastes are imported directly from Thailand - the same brands used in Bangkok kitchens. That's where the depth comes from. We don't try to make our own pastes from scratch, because honestly, the imported Thai ones are better than anything we could produce here. What we DO control: the coconut milk balance, the fresh aromatics, the protein, and the way it all comes together in the wok.

The Six Curries
Every Thai Curry, Explained
Each curry has its own paste, its own balance of heat, and its own personality. Here's what makes each one different.
Green Curry
แกงเขียวหวาน · Gaeng Kiew Wan
The classic, made with green chilli paste, coconut milk, bamboo shoots, courgette and lime leaves. Aromatic and balanced - the curry most people start with, and the one they often come back to.
Red Curry
แกงแดง · Gaeng Daeng
Made with red chilli paste, coconut milk, bamboo shoots, pepper and lime leaves. A touch bolder than green curry, slightly sweeter, beautifully fragrant. A solid all-rounder.
Yellow Curry
แกงกะหรี่ · Gaeng Garee
The mildest of the curries, made with yellow curry paste, coconut milk, onion and potato. Influenced by Indian curry traditions but distinctly Thai. Great for kids and spice-cautious diners.
Massaman Curry
แกงมัสมั่น · Gaeng Massaman
Rich, slow-developed flavours with potato, onion and roasted peanuts. Influenced by Muslim Thai cooking from the south. Mildly spiced, deeply savoury, the curry for cold Doncaster evenings.
Panang Curry
แกงพะแนง · Gaeng Panang
Thicker and creamier than red or green curry, made with panang paste, coconut milk, lime leaves and ground peanuts. Less broth, more sauce - rich, nutty, and properly satisfying.
Jungle Curry
แกงป่า · Gaeng Pa
The wild one. Bold, aromatic, properly hot - made without coconut milk, which is what sets it apart from every other Thai curry on the menu. It comes from rural northern Thailand where coconuts don't grow. Pure broth, fresh vegetables, lots of herbs. The curry for people who want the real heat.
Honest note on our curries: Our curry pastes are imported from Thailand - the same brands used in Bangkok kitchens. We don't pretend to make them from scratch here, because the authentic Thai pastes are better than anything we could produce. What's made fresh in our kitchen: stocks, the wok-finished curry sauce, and every dish you order.
