Patara Thai Restaurant South Kensington in Kensington and Chelsea

Awesome Tom Yum soup. Lunch special. Highly recommended. Green curry beef. Very classic and not to be missed.

Beautiful plates and yummy food. We tried the sea bass and tom yum soup, pad thai shrimp.. they were all perfect 🍤

Wonderful place - amazing food, really good value and excellent service too. 5 stars, will definitely be back!

Amazing food and service, can’t fault this place. The classic dishes are a 10/10 and the staff are lovely. Try the seabass it is amazingggggg!!!!

One of my favourite restaurant so far in London! 💯 Rather unfortunate that we came after brunch, for lunch, and only managed to put down a main and a side.. which were both amazing! The fried rice was one of the best we had, with good portions, and the basil pork was too one of the best we had even in Singapore and Thailand! Staff were friendly too, definitely will return to their other branches whenever we can! 👍🏻

Tasty dishes wonderfully prepared & served with a huge smile… Recommend 100%

Top food. Amazing service. 2nd weekend here in a row. Absolutely enjoyed every bite and every minute there. Thank you Patara South Kensington

It's really worth a visit! Mameow is a super friendly and accommodating service!

wonderful staff, very kind and patient, amazing service and phenomenal food

Tom Yum and Khao Soi were tasty and Jenny was attentive, kind, and provided great recommendations

Excellent service. Friendly staff. High quality food

Warm atmosphere and very kind staff!

Jenny gave me an excelent service, she was kind

What a disappointment. I remember visiting this restaurant for several years pre-COVID as a regular—the food was always good, and the service was polite and efficient. Not this time round. Not only did they get our order wrong several times, but they didn’t seem to care. The food was bland and tasteless, and the bathroom was filthy. As you walk towards it, you can see the whole place is falling apart—what a pity and a complete waste of money.

Great food and amazing customer service!! I will come back for sure!!:)

Amazing food, and service . Will be back

Had a take out and pad Thai is great

Very friendly staff and a lovely set of drinks. I'd highly recommend sitting outside with South Kensington being such a nice place to relax.

Due to train delays we were very late. The staff were very understanding. The meal and service were excellent.

Friendly staffs and environment. BUT I HAVE NOT HAS a MEAL WERE SWALLOWED WITH SO MUCH OIL.

Lovely food and service. Thoroughly recommend.

Delicious food and hospitable staff! Will continue returning !👍

Really excellent experience. All dish are beyond my expectation

We had a delicious lunch here. We tried the lunchtime deal where you get 2 meals for about £16 each. I had the Tom Yum Soup which was recommended and it did not disappoint, followed by the Duck curry which was also nice. Easy to locate, tasty food with a nice atmosphere!

I ordered Chicken Noodles and this arrived swimming in oil. I called the restaurant and they didn’t answer the phone. Waisted money

Good food (especially the starters), great service (Vy in particular).

Lovely staff and really nice food!

Fantastic food and service, would highly recommend

Outstanding Thai restaurant with classic dishes and alternative offerings Definitely recommended

Very nice service and food was excellent. Compliments to all staff and I will highly recommend

Amazing staff, very welcoming and sweet. Place is very neat and clean. Food is exquisite. 10/10! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely delicious Thai food and great service. If you want high end beautiful Thai food then Patara is the place. Kap kun kaaaa

Delicious meal! We loved everything we had!

Delicious food, brilliant service!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!

Lovely food, brilliant service and great location. We are at the South Kensington Patara.

Highly recommend the Tom Yum soup and Durian sticky rice (seasonal) for dessert if you like durian. Really loved the dessert and the service was great.

Amazing waitress and waiter! Love the mango sticky rice 🥭

Fantastic food and great service from Jenny!

Amazing restaurant, lovely waitresses/ waiters and delicious food and cocktails!

Great food. A bit pricey but absolutely worth it if you want a great Thai. We will be back

Always the perfect meal. STUFFED! The best service. Perfect location right next to South Ken. Thank you!

Arrived at the restaurant this evening at 22:40 and was turned away and told the restaurant is closed. The restaurant closing time on Google is 23:30 and this is also stated on the restaurant door. No reason was given for closing so early. Very disappointed. Will not be visiting again.

Had a lovely dinner at Patara! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Our waitress, Jenny, was very friendly and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Delicious food. First time trying Thai food and cannot wait to try more. Our servers were sweet and attentive. Great experience

Staff were great and very attentive.

Really lovely servers and the Thai tea was the best I’ve had so far in london! Jenny was very friendly and did a fantastic job :)

To say I had a phenomenal lunch here is an understatement. Incredibly delicious food, lovely staff members and a relaxing environment gave me and my partner a great experience. Before I finish my review I also have to make a special mention about the coconut and chicken soup I ordered. That bowl of soup was unreal, I could eat that every day for a year and not get bored of it.

Brilliant service and very attentive hostess

I love this place! Like so much! Seriously, it's not just because I live right next to the restaurant (the ultimate privilege) but because I genuinely believe this is the best Thai food I have come across in the United Kingdom (and I used to live in Bangkok!) The food is exceptional, justifying the moderate-to-high end ambience (albeit there is a soft and alluring charm to the place). Simply put, when visiting Patara, you can't go wrong. With that being said I'd like to take the time to appreciate the people who work at Patara. The restaurant's staff, particularly their senior management, pay homage to Thai culture in the most respectful and elegant of ways. When visiting Patara you are reminded of the fact that Thailand is frequently referred to as 'The Land of Smiles' for a bloody good reason. Not only do they grant each customer an authentic experience, but a pleasant and kind one; quite frankly, they take care of you. I honestly can't recommend Patara (South Ken) enough, an absolute gem responsible for the forming of many fond memories during my time living in London. Here's to more to come.. see you soon.. :)

I had been craving a true Thai food experience since we left the country after a 3 week vacation and this place really hit the spot 😍 Por took great care of us, they even had great vegan options!

amazing waiter was also really fit

Lovely evening with fantastic staff and particularly good with well behaved youngsters. Thank you for a great evening.

Wonderful service! Hot food and high quality ingredients. Tom Yum soup was perfect.

Everything was flavorful and the service was excellent!

The food and service were absolutely amazing!! The seafood was so delicious and flavourful! Portion sizes were perfect for sharing and the mojito champagne cocktails just magnificent!! Well worth the visit

Much better than their Knightsbridge branch.

Amazing signature menu. Bravo and thank you x

The best Thai food in London, This restaurant has been here since the 90s and I can see why. Really looking forward to coming again.

Lovely little place with a nice atmosphere, great service and food

My favourite restaurant in London! Food is amazing and the service & experience is great

Wonderful and very quick service!

The food is delicious and the service brilliant. Loved the cosy atmosphere it has

Quality lunch offering - great food and super reasonable prices!

Amazing curries! Amazing flavour! SO GOOD that I went two days in a row to try the duck red curry and then the chicken massaman curry. Thank you!

This restaurant was truly exceptional all around. We visited as a group of six and got to try several things from the menu. While I have not visited Thailand, we love Thai food and have visited many Thai restaurants. I can say without hesitation that this was the best Thai food I have ever had. We had one vegetarian diner in our group, who also gave the place top marks.

The food was amazing the Thai basil beef was super tender and delicious. What really stands out is the superb staff very friendly and professional..cheers my friends

Delicious food, very nice staff.

We had a fantastic meal at Patara, South Kensington! Every dish has been great everytime I have visited — the lamb massamn was so tender (and fell off the bone) which we had with the pineapple fried rice. I also recommend the fried seabass with chilli sauce. You cannot miss the mango sticky rice for dessert! Thanks to our server Mameon and the rest of the team.

Amazing thai food and their fried sea bass is the best in london!

Really great food service and place

Amazing food. Good service as always.

Beautiful, quiet place with excellent food. Had the coconut beef and prawn dumplings. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food and friendly service from Por. The quality is fresh, keep it up, as many Thai restaurants lower their quality. We will be back 😊

The food was so delicious! Very great service. The pad thai was delicious as well as the green curry. We’ll be back!

The food so super nice, it's authentic Thai food. The manager khun Por so proactive, polite and service minded. I'm really recommend this restaurant 10/10

Great food every time. Alice was attentive, kind and knowledgeable, she’s really one of a kind. The food always hits the spot.

We were served by the wonderful waitress Por. She is so friendly and helpful. Will come again!

Delighted with the food and kind service. If you love Thai food you need to visit this restaurant.

Very delicious food, especially the crab curry, and excellent service. Thank you Pla!

the food here… BOMB!!! I ordered crab yellow curry and i was NOT disappointed. The mango sticky rice was a 10/10 and i personally think its the best mang sticky rice ive ever had. Totally worth it!

Por was a lovely waiter and made our dining experience memorable. Great food also :)

This place is a favourite of ours. Their lunch special during the week is really good value. The food is always fantastic quality and the service is friendly and efficient.

Such a nice place and lunch offer!

Amazing service from Por and beautiful food all around!

Amazing food , been there many times , never disapointed !!

Served by Por great service and food was delicious

Food was delicious and the staff were very kind and attentive. Lovely experience.

A delicious thai restaurant. It was my first time in this restaurant and the food was so delicious, the tea are made of natural herbs, all looks excellent. Definitely I will return to this restaurant 🫶🏻

the customer service and the food was really good.

We’re been here at least 15 times in the past couple of years excluding ordering from Deliveroo during lockdown. The food quality is great and consistent which is also important; service is impeccable - staff are all considerate & very friendly. Highly recommend. A few dishes are spicy so remember to ask them to remove it if you’re like me intolerante to spicy flavours.

It was an extremely pleasant atmosphere and environment! The service was excellent and the food was so extraordinarily delicious! Would recommend for anyone in the Chelsea area

It was simply amazing, definitely the best Thai in the area. Many thanks guys and see you very soon

Amazing food and serive and the guys are so friendly, they make you feel at home, especially the GM Por she's so sweet!!!

Perfect service, quiet atmosphere and delicious food - I am familiar with Thai food but I tried a few new delicasies and I wasn't disappointed. Our server Por was amazing. Thank you!

Excellent service and food . Very tasty and beautifully presented and served.

Good authentic Thai food next to the Royal Marsden Hospital. 10% discount if you are Thai. On street parking only.

I went here with my manager for our birthday celebration and we could not be more satisfied. The staff is friendly, professional, and caring. Def not my last visit!

Amazing experience at this Patara branch. The staff are so welcoming and the food were incredible. Definitely recommended! Will be back :)

We were craving Thai food and this place did not disappoint! It hit the spot and exceeded all expectations. We ordered the chili sea bass, mango salad with soft shell crab, Tom yum soups, pad Thai with prawns and vegetarian egg rolls. Everything was very fresh and we will definitely have to come back to try their mango sticky rice. Staff was extremely attentive to detail and I highly recommend.
