Discover Kiln, Soho's high-energy open-kitchen spot for Thai-Burmese small plates. Watch dishes like beef with dill and grilled chicken sizzle over live fire, then share bold, fast-paced plates in a lively, noisy room.

✨

Reasons to go

Cooking is done almost entirely over a wood-fired grill and in clay pots, visible from an open kitchen.
Menu centers on Thai-influenced small plates like Gaiyang smoked chilli chicken and beef with dill and coriander.
The dining room is compact and deliberately loud, part of its identity rather than a design flaw.

📖

Full description

Kiln puts its wood-fired grill and clay pots on full display, and reviewers describe dishes like beef with dill and coriander or grilled chicken as bursting with flavour thanks to the direct-fire cooking style. The atmosphere is noisy and busy by design, which most diners say adds to the charm rather than detracting from the meal.

At 4.3 stars and mid-range pricing, it's well suited to a fast-paced, sociable dinner or lunch rather than a quiet conversation, ideal for couples or small groups happy to share plates across a compact but energetic menu. It's a good option for those wanting serious flavour without premium prices.
