📖

Full description

Singburi doesn't take bookings and seats only a handful of people, often at a counter facing the kitchen, which reviewers say adds to the experience rather than being a drawback — watching food fired to order while chatting with a genuinely friendly host. The cooking is described as punchy and aromatic, with fiery, full-bodied dishes that reward regulars and first-timers alike.

At 4.3 stars, mid-range pricing, and a strong hidden-gem score, it's a favourite for those chasing London's more authentic Thai cooking away from bigger, glossier restaurants. It suits a spontaneous, no-frills dinner more than a planned occasion.

Reviews

Pretty authentic taste of Thai food (especially the Red Curry). You can smell and taste the smoked pork belly. The chicken thighs are pretty good. The scallops looked good. Menus can change daily but some are stock standard (especially the good dishes) Very busy and saw many people turned away who came without…
