Bangkok Boulevard

Coconut roofing & kitsch wooden fencing help this local Thai eatery stand out from the already crowded restaurant scene of Lavender Hill. Customers who find their way here will discover above-average cooking along with a menu that’s more interesting than they might expect. Stick to the fishcakes, basic curries, pad kee mao & pad thai & you’ll be well-rewarded, but those looking for something a little different might try dragon dance (prawns with Thai herbs & chilli), or the rich, creamy lamb shank massaman curry. In accordance with British tastes, the heat has been tempered, but staff are only too happy to turn up the temperature if you ask. Cool down again with a glass from the fairly unimaginative wine list, or stick to Chang Thai beer.
