Food
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.

What people say
"Friday night walkin 2 pax at 1900. No booking got a seat at the counter in front of one of the chefs. Super friendly host, servers greeting us as we walked to our seats. Recommend the lychee sour and pineapple daiquiri both were some of the best cocktails we had tried, they looked unassuming just clear but really packed a punch. We went with the very friendly and informative waitresses suggestions. Got the heritage cold smoked tomato salad and spicy raw beef laab to start. Both fantastic the laab had a kind of szechuan numbing heat. The tomatoes were better than i could imagine perfect temperature, mix of textures and almost a new flavour with each taste. The pork belly with burnt chillies had a gorgeous bbq smoky taste and the sauce was not too spicy had a delicious flavour. Aubergine dish was knockout, crispy exterior with a creamy centre and had been dressed in a banging dressing. Then to finish a prawn and pineapple curry, at first it reminded me of a Penang curry but missed the sweetness then when I had the pineapple with the sauce it balanced perfectly. The friendly chef was topping up our water and offering us more drinks the waitress didn’t feel rushed and made time for all our questions, even servers not in our section were saying bye as we made for the door. On departure I spoke with one of the co-owners who was also hosting tonight, he was keen to know about our visit we said we will be back! 10/10"
