Busaba Soho
With venues in Soho, Hoxton, Greenwich and Shepherd's Bush, Busaba will transport you to Bangkok from wherever you are in London. Since opening in 1999, the restaurant has nodded to traditional Buddhist values in its approach to cooking, such as Sookja, which is about avoiding the chaos in life and focusing on the good; creating a 'happy heat'. It pours love and care into its plates of food in order to uplift spirits with fragrant plates of tamarind duck breast, pandan chicken and jungle curry. Tuck into a flavoursome feast in a sleek, low-lit dining space decorated with soft lanterns, and then finish off with bang banana fritters for dessert, or a busabocker glory.
