Supawan Thai Restaurant in Islington

I went for dinner here and got the goong pad ta-krai (stir fried king prawns) with jasmine rice and it was delicious, so flavorful, even better than described. The staff was really great and really patient explaining menu items and giving recommendations. The mango sticky rice dessert was incredible, I’d go back especially for that. I got a little complementary rice flour treat at the end too. Highly recommend coming here!

The food has always been the highlight - but half of restaurant’s setting in an old flower shop also stands out for its charm 🤩

Probably one of the best and most unique Thai restaurant I have been to. Homely and full of plants, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Some unusual starters like chicken wing stuffed with minced meat and noodles, crispy rice salad, corn fritters. And the southern Thai mains : melting pork belly, dad’s beef curry with pea aubergine, crab with rice noodles were absolutely delicious. Leave space for their home made ice cream

I’ve been on the hunt for great Thai food since moving to London, and after my first visit to Supawan, I can honestly say it’s the best I’ve had here. The food is authentic and bursting with flavour—you can really tell it’s cooked with care. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and dishes came out hot and fresh as they were ready. We started with the Laab Aubergine and Pee Kai Yud Sai (stuffed chicken wings). The aubergine had a perfect sweet-sour balance—my mouth waters just thinking about it—and the wings were excellent too. For mains, we had Dad’s Beef Curry and the Kha-nom Jeen Namya Poo (crab curry with rice noodles), plus a side of Train Egg Fried Rice. Everything was sensational. The spice brought a warm, lingering heat—not too much, but those with low tolerance might find it challenging. My boyfriend loved the fried rice, and I was spooning crab curry straight from the bowl. So good. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but absolutely worth it for the quality and freshness—especially considering the location near King’s Cross. I’ll definitely be going back—there are so many other dishes I’m excited to try.

I have been trying Thai restaurants all over the UK and I can confidently say that this one is the best I've found so far! I don't know how I missed it before, as it was recommended to me by a business partner in London. I'm Thai and originally from the southern part of Thailand and the food here truly reminds me of home😭 I only wish I lived closer!

I visited here a couple of occasions after being taken here for dinner once. The food here is really authentic and flavourful. And everyone in my party was impressed with the quality of food each time. The price is bit higher than the average Thai places but you do get something different here.

A brilliant place. Will visit again for sure.

Rarely write a review but I was pleasantly surprised by the food (didn't think I was a massive Thai food fan) and service that I had to give this place a recommendation. Every starter we tried was amazing and the main was spicy but delicious. Staff were friendly, hard working and always on hand to fulfil any requests. Thank you ❤️

Este es un restaurante tailandés muy especial. El menú identifica platos del sur de Tailandia que son auténticos. Sigue con eso. Comerás platos que no has probado antes y tendrán una profundidad y sabor que no has probado en un restaurante tailandés antes. Nos gusta la comida asiática picante y la comida, incluso los tres platos de puntos estaban perfectamente especiados, pero no extremadamente caliente. El servicio fue rápido y atento y el personal de servicio y la maitresse d’ realmente quería discutir lo que pensamos de la comida a medida que avanzaba la comida. No hay pretensiones aquí, solo una pasión por la comida y el servicio que es inusual. Vete.

Mind blowing food and friendly service. Aubergine, banana fruit salad and coconut caramel ice cream were some of the favourites

Ordered the prawn pad Thai for a takeaway, which was a shame because when I went to pick it up, the restaurant was lovely and cosy. The staff members were also very welcoming when they handed over the food. As for the meal, the prawns were high quality meaty ones, and they definitely didn’t skimp on the amount, which you never see these days! I’ll have to visit next time for a sit down meal :)

Pretty authentic Thai food, eclectic environment and very friendly knowledgeable staff. Liked the atmosphere and absolutely loved the food.

The atmosphere is cozy and the food is delicious. It's a shame that I wasn't able to order several menu items because I was visiting alone.

One of the best Thai restaurants with excellent menu and great original dishes and tastes.

Great food, great service. We walked in soon after they opened and they found a table for us. Enjoyed the corn fritters, crab in red curry, and a mocktail, but most of all we enjoyed the beef curry.

I love this place. Probably as authentic as you can get without being in Thailand.

Tasty food. We’ve been to Thailand before, and these foods tastes just like the one there. The choice is not very big, but the quality is very good. The environment is very pretty.

Very authentic Thai food, bit pricey but you get what you pay for....would recommend spicy Thai prawns and Pad Thai...

Fine Art in form of food. Super lovely team and you taste the dedication they pour into making such food craft. The owner is delightful being with warm welcome and big smile.

We had a Thai person in our party who thought the food was authentic. Not cheap, likely owing to the location. The Pad Sa Tor was good🌶️🌶️🌶️ The Gang Som only had a small piece of seabass and didn’t like it much either. Dessert was ok.

Nice Thai food close to home , would come back

The best Thai food in London. Don't just take my word for it... read the notoriously difficult-to-please food critic Jay Rayner's review. Honestly, I've loved Thai cuisine for many years, but when I tasted my first dish (Moo Hong) at Supawan, I felt I was eating Thai food for the very first time; falling in love with it all over again. Located in a shared space with a wonderful florist, and with its walls adorned with beautiful and interesting artwork, Supawan is a calm oasis of sensory bliss just 5 minutes from the hustle and bustle of King's Cross St Pancras. It's not cheap (good food rarely is), but for the quality of food and service, it's worth every penny.

Great little Thai place, well decorated and nice staff. Very nice green curry.

Randomly found this Thai restaurant, and from the simple exterior, I wasn’t expecting much. But I was pleasantly surprised—the interior decor is absolutely stunning! The staff were friendly, and the service was great. As for the food, I think it really depends on the dish or personal taste. We ordered three dishes: the Tom Yum and the chicken were amazing, but we didn’t find the beef curry very enjoyable. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but overall, the experience was still worth it. I’d definitely come back to try more dishes from the menu and to enjoy the beautiful decor again! 🔥✨

Took away food order from here, excellent curries. Tasted authentic, it’s not cheap but the portions size justified the price. Will come dine in next time. Recommend dad’s curry but mind you it’s so spicy.

Ordinary food for a high price (pad thai PLN 23.50, green curry and rice PLN 22.50, soup only PLN 22

Beautiful place. As for the food it's hard to describe such complex flavours with words.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in London!

Simply horrible. It’s way too overpriced £23? For flavourless chicken and noodles. Their service was horrible too, a dirty plate from previous customers was given to me from which I had to eat my sub par meal from as well the waiter placing the plate bluntly on the table. Wouldn’t recommend at all. There’s much better places which are affordable and are much superior in taste. Definitely not worth the £30 I spent for a plate of food and drink..

Lovely place. Fantastic food but a bit pricey.

One of the best thai restaurants

Authentic Thai food with some selections you don't usually see in other restaurants. Also love the plant wall.

Great authentic Thai food! The staff were really friendly. Cossy atmosphere.

Food was amazing, great flavours and also great service. The vibe of the place is great. The only downside is the menu is quite expensive but it is tasty!

El restaurante es dulce y el personal era educado. El plato de masamam fue servido con una pequeña pata de pollo y sin papas. Nos dijeron que se habían quedado sin patatas (y por lo que parece pollo también). Nos compensaron con un poco de brócoli. No es ideal.

OMG, amazing! It's a must!! Best food, lovely service from attentive staff, so good! Winner!

Enjoyed the food, service was excellent!

Authentic And quality thai food

Supawan Thai Food has been recognized as one of the best Thai restaurants in London and I can see why!! The owner and executive chef, Wichet Khongphoon, offers us a menu with the wonderful dishes of his youth, through which we can taste the authentic flavors of Thailand. The restaurant is warm and friendly, greenery is at the center of the decoration, the “Plants” room is magnificent. The staff is welcoming, courteous, friendly, smiling and the service, The menu offers several choices, the dishes are generous and the food is tasty. I LOVED my experience! Looking forward to my next stay in London so I can go back! Thank you to the entire Supawan Thai Food team!! ~On the Menu~ Cocktail: Supawan Thai's House Infused Gin & Tonic - Kaffir Lime leaves Small Plate: Kung Sarong Southern Thai Specialty: Dad's Beef Curry Sides: Khao Jaow & Pad Broccolli Wine: Nero d’Avola /Italy ~~

Very good and autnehtic Thai food. Cosy to sit, not cheap but worth it.

Excellent restaurant, very friendly staff and the food was amazing.

The pork belly was fantastic, and the prawn sarong dish. Service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant has some tables in the next door florist shop (!) which is a nice feature.

I'm afraid I thought it was good but overpriced say compared to Rosa's Thai ,very close. Thai food is generally more expensive ...but

Staff were very friendly and accommodated our seating location request. They helped explain some of the dishes and the levels of spice. Sitting in the “plant” room was very cool. Highly recommend Dad’s Beef Curry and the broccoli with soy and garlic!

Maybe the best Thai in London! Delicious dishes, the crab curry was amazing and the chilli margarita, perfection! Service was fantastic, what a gem!

Just happened to stumble upon this place because the restaurant we intended to go to had a long que. And now I think I have found my fav Thai restaurant in London Service was amazing, And the food was just excellent. We ordered the pork curry with rice , and the stuffed chicken wings, and the veg crispy rice salad. I can’t complain on any item, they were all equally delicious.

If only I could give zero star. Definitely the worst Thai restaurant I have been to. Walked in before 5pm and it was quite empty. One of the staffs was eating near the entrance and the other one was standing near the door. No body acknowledged us. We went to the counter and took the menu as we wanted to take get takeaway. Again two staffs walked past and saw us but did not bother to acknowledge us. Had a look at the menu and the prices definitely do not match the ambience and the terrible attitude of the staffs. Pad Thai is 23.50, morning glory is 15. We just walked out without ordering. And of course the staffs just ignored us. Will definitely not visit nor recommend anyone this restaurant

fabuloso restaurante con gran ambiente, personal amable, decoración peculiar y deliciosa comida. Muy recomendable. Vine aquí con mi amigo y nosotros una noche maravillosa.

Really good Thai food. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

The best thai food I’ve had in London! Everything is fresh, even the tea was exeptional and the service extremly friendly

Comida increíble y un excelente servicio, mi amigo y yo tuvimos una gran noche en Supawan. El servicio es amable y eficiente y la comida era deliciosa. No puedo esperar a volver.

They brought tap water out as we sat down. This should be the standard. Food was good and they reduced the amount of spice for my dish.

The atmosphere and environment of the restaurant is very pleasant. Plenty of greenery to set a nice scene. The customer service was also very good so worth the optional service charge. They bring tap water directly to your table without asking. The food itself wasn’t my cup of tea, especially the somewhat limited veg options. But more personal preference, as it was displayed nicely and looked appetising. Also quite pricy.

Exceptional food and service. Love the flower room and excellent cocktails as well. Food is unique and amazing. This is for those who appreciate quality and something different

Desde la cálida y amable bienvenida, a la atractiva decoración llena de plantas, a la deliciosa comida sabrosa, todo sobre mi primera visita a Supawan fue 5 * Pedí curry de ternera de papá (principalmente porque me encantó el nombre! ) Estaba repleto de sabor, lo suficientemente picante como para hacerme cosquillear los labios, pero nunca abrumador. La carne estaba perfectamente tierna, ni una pieza masticable. Un gran plato. Mi compañera vegetariana tenía un plato de tofu al vapor que ella era muy elogioso. Para el postre los dos elegimos helado, coco y caramelo salado para mí, semilla de sésamo negro para ella. Excelente y la manera ideal de completar nuestro encantador almuerzo. Mi primera visita, pero definitivamente no la última. Si te encuentras en Kings Cross, asegúrate de visitarnos. ¡No te arrepentirás!

From florist to famous restaurant with flowers and floriferous food. Highly recommend and ask to be seated in the green house 🏡

A great Thai restaurant with lots of options. Slightly expensive.

The food is always excellent here. Very different from most Thai restaurants in London. The food can be quite spicy, which we all loved but beware if you can’t eat hot food. I managed to eat a whole chilli by accident and my tongue was burning for ages 😆 We had a fantastic time but it was utterly freezing in the restaurant so choose your table carefully.

Lovely restaurant, nice vibes, cute place, funny decor, I really loved it and the food was great ! We will be back.

Took clients here for lunch, and it was really tasty and authentic. We shared a few starters (corn fritters 'yum' and aubergine 'ok') and had each a different main (pad thai, green curry and dad's beef curry - all delicious and full of flavour). Sadly, the service wasn't as great. Our starters arrived, and my guest got his main as we haven't even finished the starters, so it was all hectic. Two of us also got our main quite a little later. So, it's not the best experience in that sense, but the food is great and the restaurant lovely and different. I would maybe order for takeout in future.

Went for dinner here the food was great. We had the prawn pad thai, the moo hong as well as the sweet corn fritters. I would recommend all three dishes! The atmosphere of the restaurant is also great as the owners also operate a flower shop which makes the ambiance quite unique and interesting. Worth a visit!!!

Deliciosa comida tailandesa! Hemos estado en Tailandia hace años y nos llevó de vuelta. El personal era encantador y atento. La decoración con todas las plantas era maravillosa.

Fantastic Thai restaurant. Green lush vegetation, comfortable seats and friendly staff. We had mostly drinks and nibbles before heading somewhere else but we loved the cocktail flavors and presentations. We will definitely be making a come back

Cenar en Supawan es una delicia para cualquiera que desee la auténtica cocina tailandesa. Esta es realmente una experiencia memorable. Las porciones son generosas y el precio es muy razonable. Desde el momento en que entras, el propietario Wichet te dará la bienvenida y te ofrecerá una mesa. No podemos esperar a volver muy pronto.

Extremely overpriced. The morning glory was £15!! And if you go to an Asian supermarket you'll pay 3 quid for a bunch of morning glory which you can cook yourself. Also, the pad krapow doesn't come with egg, as the dish usually does, so we were charged £5.50 for 2 fried eggs, and one of them was overdone. There's better and cheaper Thai restaurants in London

Eaten here twice now and the meals have been excellent both times. Friendly but fast-paced restaurant that does its best to fit you in.

Place we went as there was no other options but it was great choice :) best prawn pad Thai I’ve ever had! So tasty 🤤

Best Thai restaurant in London!! Thai approve :) I highly recommend!!

Very good Thai cuisine, I recommend

Best Thai I've tried in London.

Amazing restaurant I love the decor. We try many dishes most of them was fantastic very authentic, but I didn't like the panThai, it was something bitter inside and the beef curry the some of the meat was chewy.

What an excellent place. Best Thai food we've had for years. One of our party said it was as good as the best food they had had in Thailand. And they were lovely. Very careful to check our allergies and took our coeliac needs all very seriously. Will definitely be back!!!

It’s lovely food. But it’s expensive. £90 for two for lunch - no booze. Also rather cold in there.

I ordered takeaway on Deliveroo from here and the food was amazing. The penang curry had a good kick to it and the Meiang phuket was super interesting and full of flavour. Definitely the best Thai I have ever had and I look forward to trying all of their other dishes and to visit the restaurant in person!

Delicious dinner, just the right level of spice. Amazing cocktails and a lovely relaxed vibe. Thanks to Nial for excellent service. Definitely go again of in the area.

Most amazing food I've ever tasted - have been lucky enough to travel extensively but this is by far best food I have ever tasted Small intimate restaurant, great service and quite outstanding food Will definitely be back

Excellent authentic food in a bustling setting. Service a bit slow, but well worth the wait. Prices seem to have climbed a bit but same everywhere I guess

Charming café tables in florist shop, set among orchids and potted succulents. Mint tea very tasty, but £6.50 per person.

Unique place, stunning food. One of the best of all time..wow

delicious and unique flavors ❤️

By far one of the best Thai food experiences in London - love the ambiance, the service, the flavours. Only thing is that some things are ridiculously expensive- like side dishes and teas. But all else it worth the price

I really enjoyed the prawn salad we ordered, but the satay chicken was slightly too dry. The service was fine, though the kitchen staff were a bit noisy, as we could hear them from our table. Atmosphere-wise, it wasn’t too bad overall.

A fabulous lunch had at Superwan. The food, as always is authenic and the service exemplary. Has to be up there as one of the best Thai restuarants in London.

A bit pricier than other Thai places but fantastic quality- will return

Experience Thailand in London. It's so delicious

Really friendly place ,great food, awesome staff

Better than your average Thai. It’s good they have non typical dishes. Bit pricey. Enjoyed the meal but didn’t give 5 stars cause we felt the flavours are adapted to western crowd (not as punchy as our favourite Thai).

A fun, friendly place with good service and the BEST Thai food. A reservation helps on busy nights.

Muy buen restaurante tailandés en pleno King Cross Londres. Sabores y ambiente típico tailandés. La comida muy buena y la atención muy esmerada. Un muy buen lugar!!

The fried stuffed wings were really tasty and the Pad Thai one of the best I ever had! A little pricey for what it is but high quality food.

Comida deliciosa en un ambiente relajado encantador con un servicio discreto por el personal joven dulce. De hecho, nos sentamos rodeados de flores - hay una floristería bajo el mismo techo. No te pierdas los cócteles y el extraordinario helado casero.

absolutely incredible thai food. perfect meal from start to finish. - everything was delicious especially the duck, fresh white turmeric salad the grilled prawns and the pandan pancakes. cocktails delicious especially the hibiscus martini 😍 will be back for sure! also great with my nut alllergy fantastic 10/10

Precioso restaurante, en parte en una floristería; ambiente de amor. La comida fue decepcionante, ya que no era la comida tailandesa ligera a la que me he acostumbrado. El primer plato fue una especie de versión tailandesa de pollo. Salsa muy pesada con trozos de pollo secos. El siguiente fue un curry de camarones encantador; el mejor plato. El último fue un curry pesado que era muy picante. El personal era atento y las bebidas buenas, pero no tailandés como lo conozco.

Do you like Food?, Excellent and tasteful food?.Then you need to eat here. The customer service is amazing and the prices are affordable.

Absolutely fine food, very friendly service and simply good. The curries are also available with tofu.

The best Thai I have had outside of Thailand. Friendly and attentive staff with a lovely atmosphere. Dad’s curry is a must when it’s in the menu (if you can handle the spice level)

My first time here as I live on the other side of London and the food did not disappoint. Moo Hong and Gang Som were the best dishes. The best Thai meal I’ve had in London.

Best Thai I've had in London for a long time

The food was good, although perhaps on the pricier end of things. The service felt fairly rushed. There was a consistent clearing of things before everyone had finished.

My wife and I have eaten here twice, and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere both times. Part of the restaurant is a flower shop during the day, and it's a lovely place to sit in the evening, surrounded by plants. The food is excellent, and occasionally - for us - unusual. The corn fritter starter is spicy and delicious, and the aubergine starter is also very tasty. My wife really enjoyed her sea bass, and my Pad Thai was excellent. The price is fair for the quality, and the service is fast and friendly. We're looking forward to returning next time we're in the area.
