Thai Square, Trafalgar Square – Review

You can find Thai Square just seconds away from Trafalgar Square and it is the perfect place for a tasty lunch, a candle lit dinner or just a lovely bite to eat. Serving authentic Thai food across London, and other parts of the UK, Thai Square is a fabulous collection of yummy eateries. We left feeling full, satisfied and eager for more.

The décor is in the style of the orient, without being overly tacky and stereotypical. Additionally, the service was very attentive and not too intrusive – a perfect balance. The restaurant had a comfortable and inviting feel – we spent over 3 and a half hours there on our visit, so we must have felt at home!

We tried one of the starter selection platters, filled with classic Thai delights, such as: prawn toast, thai dumplings and satay chicken. This is a great starter for prawn lovers, but steer clear if you aren`t! Aromatic duck and many other oriental delicacies can be found on the menu, but we were very happy with our choice. To complement the mains we also tried two of the soups on offer; one a spicy chili soup, the, the other a coconut soup with a light chili undertone. Both were packed with flavour and they acted as the perfect bridge between the starters and the mains.

So, to the mains

My main, named `The Weeping Tiger` was to die for. I want to go back every day and try one of these again, and again, and again. The weeping tiger is a sliced sirloin steak with an oriental twist and it was delightful.

Also, my partner sampled the Massaman Curry and this was a really generous and flavoursome dish. A rich blend of spices enclosed a sumptuously soft lamb shank, making for a really powerful dish. It was so gorgeous, that I finished it off for her! Both mains cost well under £15 each – a bargain!

To drink, we ordered a bottle of the house Sauvignon Blanc and one of the non-alcoholic cocktails. One criticism I would have is that the non-alcoholic cocktail we tried, the Forrester, was far too sweet and it was a very disappointing.

I would easily recommend this Thai Square to anyone looking for some flavoursome, honest and filling food. Furthermore, its great location leaves you no excuse not to visit, so give it a go!
