Square Meal review of Patara: ? Write your own review

Soho’s smartest Thai is just the thing for suited (& T-shirted) meejah execs who crave Tiger beer & a curry – but in client-friendly, smart restaurant surrounds. One of four London branches in an international chain, the Soho site comprises two floors of flickering tea lights, dark teak carvings & enchantment – ‘like Thailand without the massage’ quips one reader. The ‘incredibly imaginative menu’ is littered with out-of-the-ordinary ingredients, such as wild boar & veal osso bucco to ‘leave you smouldering’. A copper pan of veal cheek curry delivers good looks & taste in equal measure, prettied up with pristine slices of pea aubergines, clusters of green peppercorns & plentiful fresh herbs; the red duck curry is also ‘divine’ (though not officially on the menu). Popular set lunches starting at £12.50 include DIY Thai tacos, spring rolls & satay. Service is judged to be ‘outstanding’.

Celebrated our 10th Wedding anniversary at Pantara. Food excellent, good atmostphere. Bill for 2 with Wine was about £100 (expected). Only complaint is that the food was served too fast between starters and main course which I find most annoying. This aside good venue an recommend. Would return

went there on a romantic friday night on oct 31 for dinner with my husband. have read reviews regarding this restaurant in greek st. all reviews were really good and food descriptions were mouth watering!!! the starters we had were absolutely yummy, we finished them in no time. main came, it was very disappointing! i had the lamb shank and my husband black cod. really boring mains!!! will not go back for sure, with the money they charge, not value for money. i can't believe these people were full of praises for this establishment!!! i was embarrassed to have recommended it to my husband. we should have just stayed at the bar next door where staff were nice and accommodating and attentive. in all fairness, ambience was really romantic with dim lighting and over all look of the restaurant was sophisticated, shame about the food and the staff, esp the girl who served us. maybe the best chef was off that night…

A good choice for thai food lovers everywhere and of all levels. Food is deliciously spicy yet well balanced and brownie points for a seperate veggie menu that isn't just full of steamed vegetables. Service is impeccable and the atmosphere is enchanting. Definitely doesn't come across as a chain and a must if you are looking for a thai restaurant for business or pleasure.
