I recently dined at Busaba, a Thai restaurant, and found the food to be good but somewhat average. While the flavors were decent, they didn't particularly stand out. Unfortunately, we had to skip dessert due to the slow service, as we were concerned about our limited time. On a brighter note, the drinks were exceptionally delicious and added to our dining experience. We look forward to returning when we have more time to explore their dessert menu.
Just visited this place. Had amazing time here. Pravin was my server and he made some really good recommendations for food and drinks and was very kind to me. He made the experience better.
I had the veg spring rolls, the guava juice and another juice with orange in it(it was Thai name so I can’t remember). Everything was delicious. Would recommend this place for sure.
Very good Thai experience. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was amazing with a shared and comfortable table.
I had a nice time with my nieces.
Visited on a Thursday evening. Crowded, but seated immediately.
(From the outside the restaurant looked deserted, because the outdoor seating was empty, but the again this is London).
Good food.
Communal seating arrangements acceptable, but not ideal.
Quick service.
I had Green Curry Jay (Courgette (zucchini), pea aubergine (eggplant), bamboo), Brown Rice & Wok Broccoli (pictured)
My companion had her usual, Pad Thai Chicken.

We visited on a Super busy Saturday afternoon in December, we were seated quite quickly despite how busy it was, this is because they have large square tables with communal seating. The interior is atmospheric, low light and a bit sexy with incense, candles and little pools of floating flowers as you enter. For a chain restaurant, the food is very good and not too expensive. The menu is varied and they update it regularly without getting rid of classic favourites like the Thai Calamari which is now available in a vegan version and is just as tasty as the original. The toilets are clean and monitored regularly.
Busaba by St Christopher's place was right next to our first apartment in London. This was quite dangerous. We ate here a lot. I remember vividly enjoying their crab fried rice many a time. We visited again after 4 years and tried some new things - we were very happy to see the main owner still there and he was super friendly.
We had the Weeping Tiger Jay - this was really interesting because they were big pieces of soy that resembled almost like a beef, in an almost sweet sauce. I really enjoyed it.
We also had the Red Jungle Curry. I was pretty surprised with this one because it didn't say it was vegetarian, but it also didn't list any meat in it. I figured that the curry paste may have had fish in it or there was fish sauce in the dish. The dish actually came with big chunks of chicken! So I was a bit surprised, but I also didn't ask which was my fault. We enjoyed it anyway.
The side of greens were also delicious with really nice hints of garlic and ginger.
Everything was wonderfully flavoured and our waitress was very good. We were so happy to be able to visit again and be so happy with the food!

Thai food at its best. We visited in a busy friday night, and we don't have prior appointment. We waited almost an hour to get seated. But wait worths. Variety of choices. My all time favourite, chicken green curry, the delicious refreshing spicy green papaya salad and classic fried noodles. Interior is amazing, very pleasant staff, welcoming attitude. Definitely i will visit again in my next London visit.
Very good floor management. Our waiter (French guy, I think is name is Aron) was very professional and looked after us very well. We had a small issue and the manager brilliantly twisted the situation and made us leave happy. Mistakes happen, but you need to have the ability to sort the situation and the manager had it. Also the food was very nice and improved a lot compared with few months ago. We definitely go back
YUM, so so good. Everyone should visit a Busaba, especially for the unforgettable squid dish.
Excellent food, service, ambiance, well priced.
Wonderful service from the staff across the board, delicious food and great atmosphere. Went with a bigger group (12) for a friends birthday and the order was perfect and even got some prawn crackers on the house! The birthday girl got many glasses of Prosecco on the house too!only thing I found was the music was a bit too loud was difficult to hear sometimes
Good vibe and food. But Hemex is critical to this wonderful evening. We faced some problem and he helped us to solved it with amazing attitude and service. Will come to here for Hemex again.
:)
Beautiful atmosphere/ambiance and excellent service with good food
