Larger groups should definitely consider this place just solely based on the space alone. As for the food, it was classic Thai dishes you would find at most places. I had their pad Thai, which for the price, was quite good and filling. Overall, a good experience for the size of party we had. Everyone was able to try/find something they wanted and getting seating for a large party in the middle of London is no small feat.

Tired after a long day of travel, and looking for something different, we discovered Rosa's about 1 km from our hotel near the Thames. We were greeting and promptly seated at a table outside (it was late May, and the weather was cooperative). Our server, detecting our exhaustion, was pleasant and jovial. He quickly prepared and delivered our drinks, followed by an excellent meal which had a thai panang curry, a thai red curry, and a thai green curry (the three of us decided to sample the entire color spectrum). The meal was excellent and we left sated and ready for a good night's sleep.

On entering, we were formally greeted in Thai by the front house and shown to our table. Within a minute of sitting down we were greeted by a waiter and asked wether we'd like still or sparkling water. To which we also received the complimentary prawn crackers #hmmhmmhmmmm :) very hospitable service. The decor is Thai inspired, romantically dim and not too loud. Now onto the reason you are here, food... Every course was delicious! Delicious in smell, presentation and of course... Taste! The flavoursome dishes had us reminiscing the explosion of flavours and smells we met in Phuket. The chicken and prawn satay sticks were soft, juicy and not oily. The peanut dip made the commute through London worthy! The lamb was cooked well. The meat literally slipped off the bone, whilst the Prawn and pineapple curry was perfect! Not too sweet, nor too coconutty. The portions are very generous, if personally recommend two rice portions per person. Great value for money. All in all the experience was superb, we will return soon. Kop kun khurp!

Siam Eatery has done exactly this, rising to the top of the food chain in the fast-eats Asian category in the busy Covent Garden area. First, the price point is right on with others in their category (think Wasabi and Itsu) at around 8 pounds for a solid meal. You can get away for 5.50 if you're not that hungry and don't want a drink - but then you'll miss out on their stellar Thai Iced Tea. And, might I add, this is the first quick-eats Asian place I've visited that has mastered - let alone even TRIED - Thai Iced Tea. DO IT. Second, mains are wonderful. Customisable and packed with flavour, the curries don't just peg to the meat and veg, there's enough juice in there to create that perfect coated, rich rice base that is why we REALLY love curry. Their everyday special chicken is stunning (think spicy-red curry), while their standard red and green are just as good and full of flavour. The options of red, brown and white rice, or without rice and salad instead, have reached Tortilla-level customisation without having traded options for quality (as Tortilla have done, IMHO). Third, it's crazy fast. Most everything is pre-made, as this category is good at, but they do so well to keep you from knowing it. Everything is kept hot and unpackaged (except for the fridge salads, of course), and made just for you. It really does feel like you've stumbled into a legit curry house here. The spot is busy come lunchtime, though you'll get dinner in 30 seconds flat. And unlike a lot of popular lunch spots around, they're open til 20:00 most nights, making dinner here feasible. There are about 10 seats in this place, but you don't need to eat here. Though it's nice and classy, this is undoubtedly a grab-and-go place. Seriously, though - don't forget your Thai Iced Tea. Would be a shame to miss the cherry atop the sundae at this gem of a curry palace.

The cafe is very well positioned for Covent Garden but is off the beaten track so not full of tourists. They have a selection of different warm dishes, varying in spicy-ness and meats. They also sell some lovely looking salads. The price is reasonable for Covent Garden with the veg curry costing £5 and salads £4.80. They also have a few seats inside and they don't charge you extra to eat in which is great! The staff are lovely too and will advise you on what to have if you're not a huge fan of spicy food (I only realised this after fighting my way through the red Thai curry though). I went back again today and had a delicious satay chicken sandwich which was very yummy.

The food counter and till is on the left hand side, with the menu on the wall above. There are coolers containing drinks and sushi on the right hand side. The lunchtime queue runs within the centre. The turnaround is incredibly quick so choose your dish swiftly. I went for the first time last week when I had a bit of a cold. I chose the Thai Green Chicken, a small pack of sushi and two cold drinks from the refrigerator. All of which came to about 8 pounds. The Thai Green chicken was really tasty and, if I hadn't been really hungry, would have made a satisfying lunch. Furthermore, it came in those cool cartons you get in America. The sushi, too, was surprisingly good. Papaya is great place to pick up a quick, satisfying hot lunch.

Come on, I care about the world as much as the next person but not when I've got ten minutes to buy, eat and smoke. For less chat more chow, I go to Papaya, the food is great and the line is out of the door everyday but they have different people to take the orders, serve the food and take the money: simple yet effective. If I don't have anyone to impress after work, I usually have the Thai green curry and some sort of peach flavoured pop. All this for about £5, you can eat in if there is space on the one tiny bench inside or on a nice day, take the cute little box of goodness to a park near you and enjoy a long and leisurely lunch.

The perfect marriage of flavors - tangy, salty, sweet and spicy - tamarind, lime, fish sauce, honey and Thai peppers hit the right spot in my tummy. Had the Som Tam Salad and Calamari to start. Their version of Calamari is very unique. Then followed with Khao Red Pork (rice bowl) - tender juicy pork stewed just right in a sauce reduction. We also had the Tamarind Duck Breast - grilled just right to perfection with juices mixed in honey tamarind sauce. And not to be missed is the Sticky Mango Rice. Ambiance is very modern and nice - dark brown square dining tables and benches that sits many. The concept of sharing food brings this communal seating idea. Servers are very friendly too. I highly recommend this place.
