Food
Khao Gaeng specialises in Southern Thai curries served canteen-style over rice, and reviewers are quick to point out that the food's visual simplicity undersells just how fantastic it tastes — bold, punchy flavours without pretension. Staff get consistent praise for warmth even when the restaurant is clearly busy, and the Borough Yards location has become popular enough that this branch fills a gap when the original Tottenham Court Road spot is unavailable. At 4.8 stars and mid-range pricing, it's an easy, satisfying choice for a quick but genuinely excellent lunch or dinner. It suits solo diners and small groups equally well.

What people say
"Everything was amazing. I’d previously been to the Tottenham Court Road one but they were renovating, so I booked this one. The staff was super and warm from the moment we arrived. I loved how they explained the menu and marked the level of spiciness next to each dish. The food was delicious, the flavours were just incredible. I had friends from France over and it blew their mind. Thanks for the great experience, it was awesome"
