Build heat into the meal the right way
Choose your heat level
Telling us what you enjoy helps the order lean warming, bold or properly fiery.
Balance the hotter dishes
Rice, sides or dessert can soften the edge and round the meal out comfortably.
More than just fire
The spicier dishes still aim for aroma and depth, not heat with nothing behind it.
Heat matters, but so does the flavour around it
Spicy Thai food is about more than simply chasing heat. The best hot dishes still need aroma, savoury depth and enough balance to keep the flavour clear rather than blunt. Our spicier Thai choices are cooked in-house, with curries and other dishes that suit customers who actively enjoy a bit of fire in the meal. On the menu from Issaya, you can lean towards something warming and bold or go harder on the heat, then build the rest of the order around that decision. It is the kind of takeaway that can turn an ordinary evening into something you look forward to.
Say how much heat you really want
Getting the spice level right starts with saying what you actually enjoy. If you like a steady warmth, tell us. If you want something hotter, say that too. From our Bordon kitchen, we prepare spicy dishes for collection or delivery, and it often makes sense to think about the meal as a whole by adding rice, sides or dessert to balance the heat. Ordering from Issaya online lets you take your time over the menu, while a call to us is useful when you want a little guidance before settling on the right dish.
Frequently asked questions
How spicy can our Thai order be?
That depends on the dish and on what you enjoy. Some people want a steady warmth, while others are looking for something stronger. The best approach is to tell us what level of heat you usually like so we can help guide the choice.
Can we tell you the spice level we prefer?
Yes, and it is helpful when you do. Being clear about whether you want gentle heat or something bolder gives us a better sense of what to suggest, especially if you are comparing a couple of different dishes before ordering.
What goes well with a hotter Thai dish?
Rice, sides and dessert can all help balance a spicier meal. They do not take away the character of the dish, but they can make the overall order feel more settled if you want the heat to be part of the evening rather than the whole story.
