Una piccola catena, il cibo è buono. Atmosfera piacevole, il personale è estremamente gentile e professionale. Un ottimo cocktail ed un buonissimo yellow curry di granchio

I am a massive fan of Patara in South Kensington and Soho . The food is always amazing and the service is immaculate . Massive thanks to Alice . She is in charge and so professional . She is so good with customers with a beautiful smile but she is so good with her staff too . Which is so important as no team work , chaos on the floor . Special lady she is . See you soon for sure xx

Amazing food. I've been visiting London regularly for 20+ years. This is the best Thai I've had. We had the scallops (appetizer), green curry with chicken, coconut braised beef, and broccoli (side), plus desserts. All were excellent.

Staff were very helpful and attentive. Food was cold, some items a bit over cooked and it seems the restaurant (group) has marketed themselves to more upscale, going a little more fancy but the level and quality of the food is not justifying the increase in price.

My first visit to Patara. Very impressed with the quality and authentic taste of food and the reasonable price of the set lunch . I had spring rolls followed by a Thai red duck curry . Very nicely presented and amazing taste

We arrived early but it was no problem to seat early, we had a nice table by the window. The waiter took out drinks and food orders in our own time. Starters can quickly and were really good. Service was good throughout regularly topping up the water, but subtle so not feeling pressured at any point. The waiters were very polite too, For mains we had a salad and a pad Thai and it was all surprisingly filling so we ordered just the right amount. The pad Thai was quite big compared to the salad. Overall the food was really nice and would recommend anyone to visit, two starters two mains and two glasses of wine, plus water came to just under £100.

I regularly visit this restaurant and use it on Deliveroo too. The food is always good and I have no problems with their pricing - my problem is the portion sizes are SMALL. At those prices they should be larger. Even the rice portion is small and we know how much rice costs, right? I’m always hungry after a meal here.

The chicken in the pad Thai was very rubbery, we sent it back but I felt like the manager should come check on everything a bit more. We were also at the corner away from the main dining hall so didn’t have any atmosphere and it was difficult to get someone’s attention for service

Loved the food, as good as in Asia, very authentic. Had fish cakes and lamb shank, both cooked superbly Service is very professional in interaction and friendly. Bit of service delay after receiving hot eating plates whilst food was delivered - more than 5 minutes Downside of no draft beer, and Singapore at £5.50/bottle is expensive. Despite the downsides, would definitely use Petara again. Tip - request window seat when booking, can be a bit tucked away otherwise.

This used to be one of our our favorite dinner places. It was at the top of our list to return to for a long overdue visit to London. While we appreciated the accommodation of 5 people, a large group for this restaurant, the food was just not the same quality as in the past. We were disappointed by this. We were also seated back by the serving area which was busy and noisy so hard to enjoy the conversation of friends we'd not seen in some time.

Highly recommend the Crab Curry - this was delicious.

London is overpopulated with mediocre restaurants and that’s probably the customers’ fault. This is a good example of standards in the kitchen sliding from good to poor and prices rising. So many 4 star equivalent ratings for Patara sums up the trend. We should demand more for 4 stars, even at a higher price.

Excellent food! All of the usual Thai favourites are on the menu, plus a few more different dishes, and there are specials as well. This is part of a chain but the food all looked to be made fresh to order, apart from maybe the spring rolls. Calamari is great, with Panko breadcrumbs, and the mixed seafood special was fabulous - fish in a light batter, prawns, squid and scallops, in a great sauce. Came to just under £50 a head with starters, mains, drinks and service.

Honestly, the food here was very good, but I am dropping it from the top rating because of the incredible quality that can be found in London restaurants. It's just a notch below that, in food and in service. That said, I had one of the best cocktails here, after a week in London, and the presentation of the Sea Bass was outstanding.

Sehr gutes Restaurant . Wir waren vor einigen Jahren mal dort und es war schon damals sehr gut. Letztes Jahr waren wir im Patara beim Oxford Circus, leider war das gar nicht gut und ich überlegte wirklich nochmals ins Patara zu gehen. Zum Glück wurden wir in South Kensington nicht enttäuscht. Kann diese Filiale mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen. Netter, aufmerksamer und schneller Service und wirklich leckeres Essen.

Lunch deal is very competitively priced. Service was fine however food was below my expectations. Thai curry was average at best. Pad thai was better than the curry although still fell short of expectation. Chicken skewers were bland. Overall the food lacked authenticity and flavour.

Stunning from start to finish. The soft shell crab salad was delicious, as was the squid and the cocktails the perfect accompaniment (lovely twist on the traditional long island iced tea). The green curry was beautiful, very well rounded with multiple flavours none of which overpowered the others, honestly one of the best I've ever tasted. The star of the show however, was the lamb shank massaman curry; the lamb was cooked to perfection, falling off the bone, wasn't fatty and tasty in itself but when accompanied with the curry an absolute delight. The potato was also amazing, I could've just eaten them to be honest but when paired with the lamb and shallot - heavenly. A quick mention of the staff, thank you! You were attentive without being intrusive and added to our experience, helping us have a lovely time after a long day of shopping. Look forward to joining them in the new year, bit of a trek now I've retired to Brighton but worth it.

I thought the set lunch we had was minute portion -wise. I am used to going to Patara and you used to get prawn crackers for free whilst consulting the menu and the helpings were fine. Yesterday the starter I had was two mouthfuls and the main course possibly four. and they were brought all together which meant that the meal was finished in no time. Luckily the restaurant was half empty so there was no feeling that we were being rushed out. But I would certainly not be tempted to have the set meal again

You would have thought that these type of 'restaurants' had disappeared with time, with people's better knowledge of 'exotic' cuisines and with an increasingly number of places - particularly in London - offering the real thing. Fitou's actually reminds those unfortunate people that decide to dine at its premises of those nasty, formica-laden, quick and dirty joints that were kind of popular in the UK about 20 years ago. 'Exotic' food to the British public was about ketchup on spaghetti or super hot tikka masalas, in short - together with kebabs - all that nasty food that was served to people leaving the pub rather inebriated and searching for something not to taste or enjoy, but food to numb their state of drunkenness. Apart from the nonchalant, 'who gives a ****' attitude of the 'staff', upon which people have commented here before, the food was disastrous. Unbelievable large amounts of oyster and soy sauce obliterating any taste. Ingredients on your plate indistinguishable from one other. Most concerning were all the mucky, charred bits obviously coming from the bottom of a pretty dirty wok, all to be seen on the plate served to you. God knows last time those woks were properly lined, let alone cleaned. Surely, looking at the customers there, Fitou's still gets away with it thanks to an audience that doesn't ask for any finesse, perhaps in life as well as when it comes to food. But this is properly ghastly food, an insult to Thai's cooking tradition, a sad reminder of a culture that thrives by disguising 'exotic' food and serving it as something else. Awful.

La camarera no podría haber sido más atento, y cuando uno de nuestro grupo pidió chocolate caliente, aunque no estaba en el menú lo hizo una taza de su propio suministro personal de chocolate caliente. La comida estaba bien. Me imagino que esto sería un gran lugar en el verano.
