Someone came over to the table every 5 minutes to take plates, shove the card reader on the table, and actually argue with us when we said we'd just like a bit of time to relax and chat without interruption. I was given the option to add and take off the extras and the curry and cold noodles/garnishes served separately. Look no further than KIN, where we pride ourselves on serving only the freshest ingredients and traditional spices. We had 2 starters and 2 mains with a side of salad, starting with fried calamari, they were really gummy and with no salt at all.

The waitress also warns you in their introduction that you should give them 10-15 minutes warning before you need the bill (it didn’t take that long in reality).

He also outlines equipment, such a traditional clay mortar and wooden pestle, heavy cleaver and spice grinder that are ideal for preparing the book’s recipes that are divided into chapters covering salads and laab (Thai steak tartare), grilled dishes, relishes, soups and braises, stir fries, curries, snacks and sweets.

Ahead of the opening of his AngloThai restaurant later this year in central London, cult chef John Chantarasak has published his first cookbook. The flavours were just great, wonderfully seasoned down to the spring rolls, which for me, with no sauce can be a bit flavourless, but not here. If you are a resident of another country or region, please select the appropriate version of Tripadvisor for your country or region in the drop-down menu. The result is a book that delivers all the complex flavours of Thailand, whilst allowing UK cooks to make the most of local, seasonal produce.

Whether it be for lunch or dinner we have an extensive menu including a large selection of Vegetarian and Vegan dishes and have options from wonderfully light salads to a hearty Massaman Lamb Shank. Gentle updates to their cult shapes bring refreshed balance and ease to stylishly assemble into your wardrobe. I stress this point because this really is a great restaurant, that has just made some annoying choices with how they serve their excellent food.
