"To kick things off, we ordered a sharing plate for two that included chicken satay, pork skewers, crab crackers, and crispy spring rolls, accompanied by various dips. Everything was delicious, but the pork skewers were a standout; the meat was incredibly tender, and the tamarind sauce was perfectly balanced. The chicken satay was also enjoyable, flavorful, and not dry like chicken can sometimes be. I felt that the portion was a bit light since it cost £14 for two servings, and each of us only got one of each item, but in hindsight, it seemed reasonable as a starter before the main course. For our mains, we each ordered a noodle dish—I had the Pad Thai, and my partner had the prawn drunken noodles, and we shared a plate of stir-fried eggplant. The portions for the mains were generous, and my Pad Thai was exactly what I wanted—delicious! The drunken noodles were also fantastic, with good prawns. The eggplant was the real highlight; it was soft and silky, beautifully cooked with an incredibly rich, flavorful sauce. I was glad we shared it, as it was quite rich. We paired our meal with a bottle of house white wine, which was nice, light, and fruity, complementing the food perfectly. The food came out quickly, which is ideal for a pre-theater dinner, but we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our wine and relax a bit before heading out. The restaurant was fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation for a pre-theater meal through their website. It's worth noting that a service fee is automatically added to the bill, just so you're aware. For two people (possibly 2.5 courses and wine), our meal came to £75, including tips, which is a bit more than we would typically spend, but completely reasonable for the quality of dining in London’s theater district."

"I managed to buy a super cheap deal on Groupon for Grab Thai for £3.50 I could get a meal worth £8.25. Without hesitation I click and brought the vouchers, without printing anything the voucher was available via groupon iPhone app. Wooohooo! Grab Thai, is open from the wee hours of 7:30 am to 7pm serving breakfast to dinners Mon-Fri. and from 12:30-8:30pm on a Saturday. When me and my friend arrived it was empty the furnishing is very modern with only two benches of tables to eat in. Most of the lunch was finished, but it was ok I was after the green chicken curry as I read good reviews from the internet. The voucher I had meant I could go large and includes a drink. For drinks I went for Thai tea, I’m not sure if you have gathered, but I’m a real tea person. I went for brown jasmine rice and the chicken green curry; it was a choice I didn’t regret. You choose a pot out of the shelf and they pour the sauce on top. The curry was warm well marinated, the coconut milk was creamy, hmmm the butternut squash melted in my mouth. They used free range chicken which wasn’t overcooked. There was plenty of meat and vegetables in the potion they gave me. The Thai tea had caramel sweet tones which I also loved. The curry is very authentic and the price point is affordable and really fills you up. I couldn’t finish the large pot it was a shame because I really wanted to order the sweet sticky rice pudding for dessert."
