At this family-run Thai cafe, the grilled offerings stand out, be it juicy skewers of pork with tamarind and chilli dip or turmeric-infused chicken that can be smothered in the house peanut sauce. The rich and creamy lamb massaman curry is one of London’s best interpretations of the dish and the veggie larb — mixed wild mushrooms served with toasted rice, chilli, mint and lemon — is an innovative twist on a northern Thai speciality. It’s BYO, so stop off at an off-license on your way.
