Reasons to go

📖

Full description

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.

Reviews

Authentic Thai food that really impressed me. I've been to Thailand and sampled a lot of the street/market food, and the whole vibe and taste transported me straight back. There's a great selection of fresh, delicious dishes that you won't find in most Thai restaurants. The spice level is authentic too if you ask for…
