My favourite Busaba to date, well set out on two levels, really great service! Pad Thai and calamari are a must as always! Pre theatre set menu ! Reasonably priced wine list !

Christina Li

Ordered pre theatre set includes pad Thai and calamari . Delicious also quick service . Most surprised by the green tea , high quality and authentic . Loved the biscuits came with the tea too!

Egemen Unlu

Nice place to eat for groups. Food is delicious and not very spicy (no need to be accustomed) Prices are affordable . Try thai calamari and Singha beer . One of the best ever.

Kevin Dulin

The Sen Chan Pad Thai was delicious. The Chicken Satay was also to die for. The Cashews were a touch bland though.

Ali Ahi

A cozy thai restaurant in the center of London, with reasonable price. Go for Pad Thai Jay; it's delicious!

Mihnea Miculescu

Chilled-out Thai with a western twist. Go for the Goong Tohd, the Thai Calamari and the Sen Chan Pad Thai . Water it down with a Guava Collins !

Gina Lipovics

If you want to avoid the busy crowds in Covent Garden , come here for a much more relaxing experience. Service is fast and food is delicious!

Russell Cosway

Interesting restaurant with reasonable prices and nice atmosphere. Tasty food. A couple may find themselves sharing a large table with 8-12 other people but it works

Katerina Christopoulou

Perfect Thai food ! Everything is really delicious and prices reasonable for the quality! Try the stir fry chicken with Cassius and coconut rice !

Ministry of Waxing

A definite go-to when you get those Thai food cravings. Great for groups and decent prices. Order the Mussman duck curry . It’ll add a nice, spicy kick into your day.

Neringa Da

The combinations of curries and meet are a bit confusing: beef with red curry , duck with massaman , but they are aromatic and fresh

Darshna Patel

Not many interesting veggie options - had the sriracha ho fun, & they can't make amendments on menu so limited in veg choice. Small portions, pretty crowded & got quite noisy but a nice vibe!

Gonçalo Silva

Awesome Thai food and drinks. Spicy food is really spicy , for a change. Make sure to try some spicy chicken !

Merve Altıntaş

Food is delicious and not very spicy . Must try thai calamari and singha beer . Prices are good too.

cagdas ozersahin

Good portions, lovely staff , fast serving. Be careful with hot choices, chef is ignoring the chili levels written on the menu... You may not even eat...

Shah Abdul-Wahid

Try the red lamb curry , cod fillet stir fry , thai calamari , char grilled rib eye beef and sen chan phad thai (with crab ).

Constance | @croostifoodi

Food was excellent - we ordered calamari and duck curry . The setting is very nice.

Flavia Egypto

Excellent food, but music too loud ! Impossible to have a conversation! Try the other Busabas if you can!

Koen H.

Good taste, but where are the aubergines , sweet Basil and other vegetables ?? Rice fills the belly but not the mind!

Amelia Rivera

Pay attention to the spice level. Hot is actually hot... but food is really good and service friendly and quick.

Alèxia Solé

It's super crowded , but the food is so good that it's worth waiting for... Craving for those curries !

Channah

Really delicious! Want to remember to come back here next time in London.

Angeliki D.

Hot dishes, elegant place , friendly staff . One of the best choices in London.

Anjana Menon

My go-to Thai restaurant ! Don't forget to order the Pandan chicken and the calamari . Yummeh!

Nick Formoso

Sen chan Pad Thai is delicious, especially with a generous topping of Sriracha sauce . Also, try the Thai Calamares . Can't go wrong with that

Victoria Alexis

A Cypriot reccomending the calamari is a big fracking deal!!! Dont THINK just ORDER it, 1 for each person, you won't want to share ;.)

Cenker Köse

Thai calamari is to die for! Order it with whatever you eat!

Neoshi C

My must go-to when in London. Try the pad thai ????

Vivienne Klaassens

Amazing spicy food for a very good price ????

Joshua Marshall

Nothing here happens quickly but it's worth the wait. It's worth coming for the Thai Calamari alone.

Mark Stone

Pad Thai is way too sweet and sticky but prawns are tasty. Satay chicken is tasty and has a street food authentic taste.

Bogdan Stăiculescu

Interesting place, with funky seating options (tables for 12/16), small portions & too noisy ... not for dates, maybe social outings. :)

Jean-François Pohlé

Excellent food and very beautiful place. A must near covent garden .

The Cultural Exposé

It's a stunning addition to the Busaba chain and very easy find from Covent Garden station. Order the calamari ; Best. Ever.

David Jensen

Great value theatre menu that other branches don't have.

Alicia Herrero

Any main course with a sticky rice . All is amazing!

Marianna Gava

Food amazing! Very nice and tasty.

Glen Foster

Jungle curry , good and spicy . Quickly served and with a smile !

Tom Szriber

The plate i ordered was SUPER spicy , but it was very good

M U

The pad thai is not as good as the one we had in Taste of Siam. Poor ingredients imo. The location is the best.

Baldwin Hopmans

no deserts ... nice food I like the big tables and people mix.

Damien Saunders

Always a good choice ... Even if you are in the queue. Great food.

Cathy C

Tasty food shame they done have a dessert menu though

Jim K

Noisy but nice! Guava Collins great drink & wonderful calamari

Beatrice Bertolazzi

I suggest: calamari , cod and salmon ..not worth getting shrimps !

Chris

Really disappointing. Poor service, staff couldn’t have cared less. Beef curry and rice was ok but Thai fish cakes were a joke. That and some veg , crackers and two soft drinks for £50?? Never again.

Paul Gadd

Ive been living in SEA for 16 years and this is the most inacthentic Thai I have ever had, awful. Just another overpriced asian restaurant in London. Oh, and some of the staff just useless and rude.

Maxine Minty

Don't forget you can use your taste card here! Nom Nom Nom!

Emine C.

Beef Ginger was great.

Nina Everythingisok

The kalamari was the best thing I've eaten in a long time! The rest was ok.
