“ Having had multiple meals at both this location and the Soho location, I've found the cuisine at Patara to be utterly faultless. Sure, it's a bit of a contemporary/fusion take on a Thai theme, but the flavours are big and bold and the service is attentive and polite. What's not to like? A couple of dishes stand out as some favourites that I keep having to revisit. The lamb shank in red curry sauce with kaffir lime is, in a word, divine. Served on a tray kept heated by what appears to be a tealight candle. The green mango salad with soft-shelled crab may appear small at first glance, but I always find myself shockingly satisfied after sharing with a dining companion. And the pad thai, beautifully presented in a giant bowl with inset serving chopsticks, is so mouthwatering that it's virtually impossible to leave a single scrap behind. This venue is somewhat smaller than the Soho branch, and I'd generally recommend booking a table for dinner. On busy weekend nights, we've been turned away with hours-long waits, but weeknights are more tame. As far as Thai cuisine goes in London, I've not found hugely reliable spots, and Patara is one of the few that has earned my repeat business time and again for being an exceptional experience each time. ”
