Busaba Eathai is a modern mystery- how on earth can a restaurant which serves such mediocre "Thai" food remain so popular and so busy for so long?? It can't be the service. Like the food, that's pretty hit and miss too!
Avoid like the plague and seek out 101 better, more authentic, less expensive Thai restaurants London has to offer.
Very good food and nice and helpful staff.
Quite noisy though...
If you want a quiet evening out then dont go here. The food is great, especially the Kalamari and the chicken butternut squash.
I like the Koh Samui and they do a lovely mint tea. The downside of the place is its service.
Waiters are always and I stress ALWAYS rushing you to order and get the hell out. this is enough to put me off, however hungry I am.
One thing I cannot fathom is why men would make their women wait for hours outside a restaurant only to be rushed to squeeze in to a barrack style layout.
One doesnt even get their own table. Needless to say London has so much of variety and the mere fact of bad service makes me give Busaba a serious thumbs down.
If you can afford to go on Saturday afternoon or a weekday afternoon tho, then you will be treated fine.
Have been to various branches of Busaba in London. You need to get there early for lunch or dinner (before the main rush, otherwise you are likely to queue) as it does get very busy. The decor and ambience is excellent, as it the food for the price. It can feel a bit rushed as some reviewers mention, but back to my point about getting there early! This is some of the best Thai food I have had in London, and is great value for money. Try the Thai Calamari side order, and the Massaman Duck Curry which are both excellent.
I really like this restaurant although it gets a bit busy so we often have to line up for a table. The food is'nt the greatest but I love the set up of the tables. Not the greatest place for a first date but perfect for a group of friends before a night out.
Nice decor,convenient location if you are in central london, but thats about it. We felt like we were hurried in, and hurried out. We had no time to enjoy our food before it was whisked away and the mains were brought. Wouldn't really call it authentic thai either. Quite bland. More of a money making venture if you asked me. So no, won't be back there.
Had a really good meeting with 6 of my friends. Great atmosphere and amazing food!
Decided to have our dinner celebration at Eat-Thai with my other 7 mates last night. Been told about its authentic range of Thai food. A long queue outside gave a good first impression. Yet, the service is rather disappointing. The waiters are clumsy, very reckless they are! Dropped chopsticks, spilled tea on the table, etc. They just couldn't wait for us to leave. Glad we didn't leave any extra tips! I doubt it we would ever come back again. Another thing is that, on why they put Muslim beef curry in the menu, found out that it's not even halal beef! That's quite misleading to the Muslim customers. Other than that, the meals are alright, I'd give 6 out of 10. Cheers!
