"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 ÂŁ14 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."
