The tiny dining room of this friendly, café-like local is packed with knick-knacks and feels so cosy that it's easy to forget the heavy traffic outside. As well as being extremely good value, the food is mostly authentic and flavoursome, with very few slip-ups. We were looking forward to sampling the gaeng pa (jungle curry), but were disappointed by the dry and tough texture of the meat and the lack of complex flavours that make the dish one of the highlights of Thai cuisine. Popular fare such as stir-fried chicken with fresh holy basil was more successful, along with a suitably hot yam nua (grilled beef salad). To finish, expect the likes of sticky rice with mango. With no dishes priced above £7 and no alcohol licence, Tong Kanom Thai does a brisk trade as a takeaway joint, but it also attracts a mix of locals and diners from nearby neighbourhoods, who seem keen on splurging at the off-licence next door. On our visit we spotted some Veuve Cliquot champagne at the next table.
