This Thai restaurant is literally our next door neighbour!
Their food is delicious, and if you eat downstairs there is an intimate friendly atmosphere. This had been described as one of central London's best kept secrets.
Please say high to the lady who runs it, who is called Ladda, and say Phil from next door recommended you.

As cheap as chips, and some of the friendliest and happiest people serving you.
The food is basic, and occasionally their English will cause some entertaining mistakes (which they'll always rectify with a smile) - one time, my wife and I ate there and when I asked for the bill when we finished, the waitress asked me "would you like marmalade?" ... so prepare for a chuckle.
But the food is sound, traditional, cheap and served quickly and always with a smile and politeness.

Well let's face it. We're only human. Sometimes, despite ourselves, we want McDonald's.

The nearest large chain supermarket to us. It's about five minutes nearer than Tesco, but much smaller. It is open 7 a.m to 11 a.m. 7 days a week (so if Tesco's early closing at weekends catches you out, this is a useful alternative).
