Grab Thai - Monument

A nice quick lunch for those working in the city, particularly in Bank or on the north-side of London Bridge. I usually order the Thai Green curry whenever I go to the GRABTHAI Bangok Cafe (more often to the one near the new Bloomberg building in Bank). So i guess i can only recommend what i know. At lunch time there can often be a queue here, but be patient, the food is pretty good (though can be a bit heavy at times).

Discovered this small place after visiting Sky Garden venue. Appeared very busy with employees for nearby businesses on their lunch break. Works on the now popular concept of build your own dish by choosing the components from menu, & have it freshly stir fried & assembled while you wait. My other half had Green curry chicken, and it was superb. Hard to describe how moist & tasty meat was. This persuades me that there are no frozen chicken fillet used here. I chose Paneng curry beef with boiled rice. I am accustomed to spicy food,& the dish DID have 2 chilli's on menu, but thought it would be ok. I have to admit, this dish had me beat. It WAS delicious! The beef was clearly sliced steak, the initial flavours were of spices & limes, but the kick at the end of each mouthful was accumulative. I could only eat half the meal with assistance from bottled water. My advice is if you are a Thai novice, only order this if you require a sinus clear out!! However, this was my choice! Yes, I would return & choose more carefully, & yes, I would recommend as the ingredients & flavours were superb. This is a small company exclusive to London, and cater for takeaway & delivery. I look forward to the day they venture into Scotland !
