The best Thai restaurants in London

  • Amaranth

    346-348 Garratt Lane, Earlsfield, SW18 4ES

    The busiest restaurant in Earlsfield, so booking is essential. The low prices and BYO policy is worth taking advantage of, especially when the food offerings are hearty in proportion and well-prepared. Read review

  • Busaba Eathai

    8-13 Bird Street, Marylebone, W1U 1BU

    The formula for this Thai food chain works - attractive decor (all dark wood and dim lighting, with the waft of incense permeating the entrance), a short and concise menu with good concessions to Thai classics, and a casual atmosphere. Read review

  • Esarn Kheaw

    314 Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush, W12 7LJ

    The mint-green dining room is garishly decorated, but you won't find better renditions of north-eastern Thai food and offal-heavy offerings than they cook here. With most mains priced under £8, this is worth making the trip to try out authentic Thai cooking. Read review

  • Nahm

    The Halkin, Halkin Street, Belgravia, SW1X 7DJ

    David Thompson, one of the leading authorities on Thai food in the western world, is the man behind the Halkin hotel's chic Thai restaurant. You will have to pay dearly for the privilege of eating here... Read review

  • Nipa

    Royal Lancaster Hotel, Lancaster Terrace, Bayswater, W2 2TY

    It may be housed in the concrete monolith that is the Royal Lancaster Hotel, but this charming restaurant is an attractive wood-panelled, serene haven of a room. Read review

  • Patara

    Patara

    3&7 Maddox Street, Mayfair, W1S 2QB

    This international chain of Thai restaurants does not rest on its laurels. This is creative, modern Thai cooking at its best – artfully presented and featuring well-judged flavours. Read review

  • Rosa's

    12 Hanbury Street, Brick Lane, E1 6QR

    In terms of the vibe, Rosa's is very much like Busaba Eathai (see above) – but this cheerful operation is cosier and homelier, with child-like red stools, warm lighting and shades of pink and red. Read review

  • Sukho

    855 Fulham Road, Fulham, SW6 5HJ

    Sukho is an intimate, stylish and peaceful retreat from the bustle of London, though the prices reflect the monied neighbourhood in which it is located. Read review

This is a pretty duff selection of Thai restaurants if you're after something vaguely authentic, although I totally agree with Nahm and Esarn Kheaw. Try Addie's or 101 Thai Kitchen, or The Heron for an authentic experience.

Hey!
You guys should add Tong Kanom Thai. It's near Willesden Junction, on the Harrow Road and it is GREAT! But quite spicy. I've been there several times and it's very good value, plus I think it's BYO too. There's another one in Kilburn too but that's named after the owners son - it's called Alfie's.
