RAITAKRAI in Kensington and Chelsea

This is now a vegan restaurant. They converted 18 months ago. So be prepared. mock beef, pork, fish and duck. I think I was just shocked my favorite, that I've been coming to in years, near a tube station restaurant converted. The food, I didn't know what to order, the familiar comfort food menu is gone, vegan beer, all fine, service as great as ever. It's akin to the shock of hearing one of your best mates is now beginning transitioning. Just, the relationship has somehow changed.

Stopped by during my lunch break for their lunch set and am glad I discovered this place after following up a recommendation by a local friend from a while back. It's not the most spacious, nor is it modern or naturally bright but small, relaxed, homely feeling instead which I prefer. Food tasted authentic, aromatic, nicely seasoned and delicious (I had the pad krapow and the spice level was perfect). The older lady and her team gave great service and were polite and lovely too - I did say it was my first time here and I did not feel rushed or pressured to order or even finish eating at any point throughout my visit despite it getting busy. Recommended and keen to try more of their dishes next time.

Peachy treated us very well, and it was an absolutely lovely meal.

The best thai restaurant in the UK!!! The foods are really good and the owner is very friendly. I found this from Xiaohongshu. It’s really delicious and not misleading at all! Come and eat!

Excellent address, we feasted our eyes and of course our taste buds...the papaya salad, the pad thai shrimp, the crispy duck...just like in the country. I highly recommend.
