Parsons Green

About the restaurant

Ideally loacted between Fulham and Parsons Green, Sukho is a traditional Thai restaurant ever popular with the SW6 locals. The dark wood and gold signage and pots of bamboo flanking the entrance are easily spotted – you’re drawn in by a warm welcome from traditionally dressed staff and the promise of a tasteful and comfortable interior. The immaculately laid out dining room is decorated in earth tones, which compliment the antique-looking Thai artefacts, silk panels and leather banquettes. The authentic menu of Thai dishes is extensive, promising a taste of Asia with favourites to suit all tastes. We love the fried soft-shell crab with shredded papaya, chilli and tamarind chutney and the deep fried sea bass with sweet chilli and spring onion sauce.

Highbury/Islington

About the restaurant

Chef Sebby Holmes launched Farang back in 2016 after trading at street food markets throughout London. A year later he took up temporary residency in Farang's current home in Highbury & Islington. After excellent reviews, he took on the space permanently after his step-father retired and since, has gone from strength to strength.
Farang was recently inducted into the National Restaurant Awards top 100 and awarded a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand, which we have kept four years running. We also received the Thai select award from the UK Thai Embassy which certifies authenticity and the freshness of our ingredients.
We’re a young team of enthusiastic individuals, who over the last few years have bought our passion and skills to the table.
Parties of six and larger, kindly contact the restaurant directly for reservations. These larger groups will be offered the shared feasting menu only and a deposit of £10 per head needs to be taken to confirm the booking, which will be deducted from your bill.

We had a very delicious taster menu. Every single dish was spot on and well flavoured. The range was from sweet to sour to spicy and very nuanced. The wine selection was great as well. We’ll surely be back.

Bayswater

About the restaurant

In the Royal Lancaster Hotel, the Nipa Thai restaurant has been named after the original Nipa Restaurant in the Landmark Hotel in Bangkok. Lots of teak panelling, traditional Thai furnishings and artefacts lend an authentic air. All the staff dressed in traditional Thai costume are from Thailand - even the lady chefs. This authentic Thai restaurant is one of the first 15 recipients of the 'Thai Select' award - this award has been described as being the first ever Michelin-style award for Thai restaurants proven to be performing to the highest standards of quality and cuisine, and is awarded by the Thai Government. We think this award sums up Nipa Thai rather nicely. What's cooking? Kai Haw Bai Toey - deep fried marinated chicken in pandanus leaves, Kaeng Kiew Warn Kai - chicken in green curry soup, also recommended the Nipa platter - a selection of the chef's special Thai starters.

First time to visit this pleasant Thai restaurant. We had just recently returned from Thailand and we’re looking for some authentic Thai food. Raitakrai is the real deal. We were especially pleased to find that they had Chang beer which cannot be found locally. We both had the milder version of Pad Thai and it was delicious.

Stripped-back Pan-Asian/Thai restaurant celebrating 10 years on Leather Lane, in Clerkenwell. Our name comes from the Thai word for ‘eat’. Our menu, though, are inspired by travels across South-East Asia and show cases street food dishes across the region, with a strong emphasis on Thai food. To complement the food, we’ve carefully selected drinks that deliver on quality - from a range of award-winning artisan oriental teas to superb wines and craft beers brewed in London.
