The cocktails were fantastic and reasonably priced for London. We tried all 5 of the happy hour specials. We ate the Thai festive tasting menu and each course was sublime. Full of freshness and flavour. The best Thai food we've eaten and the best tasting menu too! I especially loved the crab curry.
