Where to eat in Swindon?

I'm in Swindon for the night and am looking for somewhere to eat rather than mediocre hotel fare

Tedious haters gonna hate, but there's some really good eateries in Swindon (I know cos I've eaten in them) but I'm having an inspiration failure. I'm staying near the Wyvern Theatre, so anywhere within a 20 minute walk of that is fine. I'll genuinely eat anything, I don't care if it's sit down posh, an excellent chippy or a perfectly brilliant kebab. Ideally, it'll be something a bit 'different'.

Ideas?

Apparently there's an awesome brazil/south american/argentinian place... but i don't know any more than that.

Smile Thai: as it says on the tin.

or Kutting Chai: Great selection of indian street food, or a more simple curry if you want it.

The Brazilian place, Rios Brazil,  opposite the holiday inn express is fantastic. Also have a really good curry in the Gurkha.

Ah annoying. Swindon Monday's are very hit and miss with whats open. If you dont mind the walk up to Old Town, Yak Himalayan is generally a good bet. Otherwise i'd have Smile Thai as the go to. Never had anything bad there.
