Supawan Thai Restaurant in Islington

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.

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.

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

Best thai restraunt in london was on the BBC. Lovely food ethentic thai food which they import from thailand

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.

The food is on point, although a bit pricey. Really delicious pad thai and the peanut satay chicken skewers were really good. The interiors were so beautiful, lot of plants, flowers and random intricate statues scattered throughout. The place was jam-packed but service was fantastic.

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.

Just Delicious and Fabulously friendly total excellent Thai food experience - Going to make it a monthly thing 👌👌

Lovely restaurant, delicious food

Amazing food, services and atmosphere! Everything’s delicious and authentic (coming from a Thai), highly recommended!

Really authentic, quality is very consistent amongst all the dishes we tried, the chicken curry was top-notch! It is generally more expensive than other Thai restaurants but the quality is worth it! The seasame ice-cream with sticky rice is amazing Would definitely come again

The best Thai food with the freshest ingredients. The food and the venue are amazing. Eat at this restaurant you will not regret it. Such a tasty lovely meal.

Excellent Thai food. The chilli ratings can be irrelevant as on two different occasions I ordered two different curries (one of them being Thai green curry) with the same 3 chilli rating but the green curry was not remotely spicy whereas the o the curry was off the charts spicy. But apart from that the quality of food is great

Visited Supawan Thai, near King's Cross (based on a recommended restaurant from Nigella Lawson via her Instagram). The Sweetcorn fritta with Tamarind sauce and Chicken Pad Thai are amazing, as are the staff and ambience. I would suggest, however, that the Pad Thai be a shared noodle dish to accompany another main - but for a minimum of two person - as opposed to what I did have have it as a main course on its own.

I’d seen this on Masterchef and it looked so good I definitely was NOT disappointed Inside of the restaurant is very cool A really good menu with lots of variety But I wanted to try the Pad Thai 🇹🇭 Not something that I would normally order in Thai This was excellent Lots of prawns and tofu ..it was superb ☺️

Lovely interior. It shares space with a flower shop which becomes part of the restaurant in the evening. The first thing I noticed about this restaurant was how expensive the dishes were compared to standard Thai restaurants so I was expecting very high quality service and food. We got off to a good start with what was probably the only good dish we had; sweetcorn fritters for starters. The main courses were poor and small considering the price. We had asked for 3 sides of rice and had to repeat our order on 3 occasions. Our mains were presented to us without any rice which was very irritating.

The food tastes okay, the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed, and the reception staff are very kind. (If two people are having a dinner together, I think 2 main dishes and 2 servings of rice are enough)

Ottima cucina Thai vicino alla zona di King’s cross. Il menù offre piatti della tradizione e proposte interessanti. Il servizio è eccellente e attento anche a suggerire le portate in caso di richieste. La location è molto bella, e in particolare una stanza e’ adornata con bellissime piante. Ci sono andata a cena con i bambini e lo consiglio.

Overpriced rip-off, everyone squashed in quarter of restaurant - tiny bowl of rice £4, compulsory service charge which is illegal. Nothing like food in Thailand - just alright - mediocre hipster experience typical of this heavily touristy, hipster area. Not enough vegan choices just obsessed with meat dishes so they can charge the most. Better to find somewhere more cheaper, genuine and authentic than this hipster rip-off racket run by men - nothing wrong with men but prefer authentic Thai restaurants where women front the restaurant and can earn a wage and have feeling of a more balanced society. Cue six million meat-obsessed haters who will say how great the restaurant is. You pay your money you take your choice but don't expect much quantity or excellence here.

Small, Thai restaurant with the great floral settings. We have been 3 times in this restaurant across 2 weeks which is showing how good it is. The dishes are not same as you would be getting in more mainstream restaurants, the are very authentic and super tasty. Selection is very good, not too many options which makes it easier to choose from nad it's super fresh. The lady who it's running it it's super helpful and polite, the staff it's also attentive but not overdone. We have been asked about allergies and preferences to help to choose and we have not been disappointed. We will be back.

Absolutely beautiful Thai food, everything tasting fresh and vibrant and homemade. The setting in a florist's shop just adds to what a lovely and relaxed environment it is. Particularly recommend the curries, especially the pork belly and stinky bean.

Small, busy and buzzy. This Thai restaurant is fabulous. My friends took me here and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish. I’ve lost count of how many trips to Thailand I’ve been on and the food was exactly how I remember it. The waiter was very efficient and friendly, the manager was lovely too. She made us feel very welcome. I’ll definitely be back again.

Quiet during a weekday. Nicely so. Perfect service... friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Very tasty food.

A pleasant place, the combination of a restaurant surrounded by plants from the flower shop is wonderful, the service is so kind and the food - wow. We ordered a crispy rice salad which was amazing, an appetizer of oysters and noodles for a main course (which was too sweet for our taste but still excellent). Including a tip we paid 50 Pound, was worth it.

Cool. P.S. I love the pork.

Hit n miss. Not for me. Menu is overwhelming, disorganised and didn’t translate the dishes well, ending up in disappointments. e.g. “Chicken wings” was x2 lumps of minced chicken in breadcrumbs in a bowlful of thick sour sauce. Coconut daiquiri ✅ Mango salad ✅ Pad Thai 🆗 Sesame ice cream 🆗 Fried squid 🆗 Cashew nuts 🆗 Chicken wings ❌ Pork and squid stir fry ❌ Space is quite tight, the tables are small, plastic chairs I didn’t love. Staff is lovely but not the most helpful (maybe the language was an issue). We consulted and had 2 portions of chicken when we only needed 1 for example. With x2 drinks, £69 pp

Interesting but not necessarily super tasty Thai food. Better for insight into less familiar areas of Thai cooking than for a great tasting meal. Cost was probably quite normal for the area. Place was empty as ate at lunchtime midweek, not their fault. Staff completely fine, not special but no issues. Banana leaf salad with cashews and prawns was the best dish, but even then not that good. Aubergine laab was pleasant and unusual but a bit watery. Fried mackerel (which I was really looking forward to) had a great lime leaf flavour but was somehow dry and also not crispy, and desperately needed acidity to balance.

Very aesthetic place, well designed with lots of plants . Food was ok, nothing special. Staff very well meaning but the experience was chaotic and multiple staff kept confusing our order

I really like this place when I visited London a few weeks ago. Really nice food and good vibe will go again

Decent Thai food in a lovely flower shop vibe setting. The fish is really easy to eat with the meat already removed. The pandan mango sticky rice was a yummy twist on the classic dessert. Very popular with the local residents.

Fantastic food, quirky clever decor. Didn't realise we were in the flower shop till after. Will definitely go back to try more wonderful food. Thank you

Average Thai food, nicely decorated restaurant, on the pricey end

Great dining experience! Fun ambiance, friendly service and delicious food.

A bit expensive for small portions. Was mediocre not incredible.

Had a great meal at Supawan. Food was excellent and enough. No space for dessert. Thank you for great food and lovely atmosphere

Great food and Great service. Ordered the squid and slow cooked pork belly. The squid was pack with flavour, crispy and tender at the same time.. the pork was so soft and rich.. Will definitely go back to try some of the other items on the menu. Bit on the pricier side, but worth it, plus portion sizes are good

Beautiful food, nice cosy place

The food is good but it isn't that special; not much detail in the presentation that justifies the prices... Over £6 for milk tea, really?

Absolutely phenomenal food. Beautiful restaurant with an authentic menu. I look forward to every visit (and hopefully) sharing dishes with willing friends.

Lovely Thai food. Arrived without a booking and we were seated in the flower shop next-door surrounded by plants.

Came back a third time - just as good, fresh. Came back a second time to celebrate a birthday for a group of 7. The tasting menu was great, everyone was happy and full. Food is just as good as the first time.

Fabulous from start to finish. Wonderful welcome, incredible food and lovely bustling ambience, you could hear your self speak yet there was enough background noise to create a great atmosphere. . We love Thai food & all appreciated the exciting menu offerings, v different from the norm. Will definitely return

This place is by far the best in quality and taste. Everything we ordered is so fresh, very traditional style dishes from the south of Thailand. This is one of those places once you try, it will set a standard for any other Thai restaurant you go to. Without a doubt some of the dishes you find here you will not find in majority of the Thai restaurants in London. The service here is excellent, the restaurant is very nicely laid out. The head chef are true connoisseurs of their craft!

Nice food. But better places for less money.

Quite simply excellent food, lovely restaurant and very friendly and fast service. Would go there again if in the area again and recommend to anyone to who likes Thai cuisine.

Been looking for an authentic and tasty Thai restaurant for some time and Supawan did not disappoint! The food was delicious, delicately balanced flavours and presented well. The atmosphere is nice and the flowers add a little charm. Staff were attentive, kind and knew the menu. Overall, a fantastic place to visit, I’m sure I will be back again and again.

On the menu are Southern Thai foods I've never tasted. The experience was amazing. The food was so delicious. Khun Supawan is a gem! His personality and energy drive this restaurant. The staff are all hardworking and incredibly diligent. The quality of the food was first class. The cocktails are in another world. So good. This is my new "go to" when in London.

Magnificent food service and place. The owner takes really good care to customers at thier table. Had great experience. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious!! The food is so authentic, could not get over how lovely the Tom Yum soup was - sensational. There are also many halal options. The queues outside are clear enough evidence of the restaurant’s popularity (try to book in advance to be seated straight away). Overall, I would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend.

Don't order a delivery - the food was nothing like what I've previously had in the restaurant. Very disappointing. The squid starter was tasteless and soggy and the Laab Aubergine was chopped up and swimming in hot sauce (it's supposed to be mild!) and tasted mostly of vinegar. When I last had it in the restaurant it was great - now it's terrible! Has the previous Chef left? Also when phoning to complain the (female) person would not stop talking over me and basically said I should have come in to eat then I could send the food back if it wasn't up to standard! What's the point of offering delivery if the food is rubbish? The prices are not cheap and they charge the same for take away as the eat in menu. I basically paid £40 for 3 starters (yeah, more fool me). She then rudely put the phone down on me. Very disappointed and wondering what has happened to this once good place! Won't be going back to eat in either. Food has really gone down in quality.

The food is epic. Traditional, but up leveled. The Miang Kham was so so so good. Everything about the meal was great. Amazing service and the host (manager) was brilliant. Exceptional. Will be back.

Came without a booking at odd hour and found the place almost full thus perhaps a good idea to book. The starter - aubergine recommended by everyone in reviews did exceed expectations. Though the pad kra paw was just normal. Nothing to write home about. On the other hand pork belly dish - moo hong did exceed again. The taste was sane as I had in Krabi in south Thailand. I would strongly recommend it. Overall I will visit again, we paid for the dinner for two 90 GBP but I think it is totally worth it.

Excellent atmosphere and service from the staff. The food is probably one of the best Thai food I've had in my life ! Would recommend to anyone in the area !

The food is epic. Traditional, authentic and up leveled. Everything about the meal was great. Amazing service and the host (manager) was brilliant. Exceptional. Will be back.

First time getting take away food. Both green and yellow curry are fantastic. Best Thai food in the area!

Attentive and friendly staff, service was great and the food was delicious the pawn dish was my favourite 10/10, sharing pants and mains excellent portions I will definitely be back thank you 💜💜

My partner and I had a really disappointing experience there on Friday evening. We live in the area and wanted to try this place for a while. First of all the portions were ridiculously small. My partner’s main (green Thai curry) was more like a small starter. I went for a prawn dish which had 3 prawns in there and 7 empty shells. When we paid the bill I mentioned to the server that the portions were quite small to which he just replied: “some might think that” with no apology or acknowledgement whatsoever. We were both really taken aback by his response. The quality of the food was mediocre as well. I definitely had better Thai food for much less money. Really poor dining experience overall.

Excellent authentic food in a bustling setting. Service a bit slow, but well worth the wait.

This is such a wonderful restaurant. The best Thai food I've had in London. Such a friendly atmosphere, such a beautiful restaurant and the food is out of this world. We shared 3 dishes and they were just an explosion of amazing layers of flavour. It is always busy and can get noisy when packed, but it's always an amazing food experience.

Menu is a little lacking and this is definitely a three dollar sign place, not two

The best Thai restaurant - affordable prices and excellent quality, highly recommended!

5/10 The restaurant showed promise but ultimately fell short in terms of service. We were craving for some authentic Thai cuisine in central London and thus ordered a variety of dishes, only to have them delivered incorrectly while we were halfway through our meal. The waiter's lack of apology or trying to offer the dishes that we originally ordered, or even some compensation left a sour taste in our mouths. The Tom Yum soup was delicious though, but it wasn't cheap. We ended up paying around 50ish pounds each for some dishes that we didn't order. Overall, a disappointing dining experience.

Wow! The beef massaman? I still have dreams about it, enjoyed the food so much that the person I went with? We couldn’t hold conversation, we were too busy enjoying the immense flavours. Incredibly tender. We wanted to have seconds as soon as we left! Such homely, delicious food and great cocktails too!

You need to book early because this is the best Thai food in the whole of London, its absolutely delicious, i recommend the fried sea bass, the mango salad and pretty much all the menu its just so good. It is how ever a little pricey but its worth it

This was incredibly good Thai food. Not like anything else I've eaten in London. It was packed as well so I'd book!

Amazing food. We tried many small plates and every bit was an explosion of flavor. Thank you.

Amazing food! Extremely packed but I suppose that comes with good quality. Decor lo-tech and uncomfortable however trendies will love this. Fairly priced for the quality

Food tasted amazing! Service was fast and friendly even though they were very busy. Waiter had good recommendations.

This is a really nice place with staff to match. I really enjoyed the distinctive flavors of the laab aubergine, Penang curry and jasmine rice. It was all nicely spiced but not too hot. With a mocktail and the very nice service my bill was £42.50. Not cheap but probably the best Thai food I've eaten so worth it.

Delicious fresh Thai food served in a fun, buzzy and relaxed atmosphere. Highly efficient service on a busy Saturday night. Cocktails looked great, the home made soda’s for non-drinkers are a nice touch too.

We were looking for a Thai restaurant and this place wasn’t too far from us. Wow! We went in with no expectations and were blown away with the amazing fresh taste of the dishes, such variety, really reminds me of street food in Thailand. Service was great, super friendly, and such a cute little colourful venue too.

A great place for lovely Thai food close to Kings Cross station. We were a party of three. We wanted to try the fried chicken wings stuffed with minced chicken, prawns, mushroom and glass noodles. We were advised there were 2 to a portion but they could add a third. They were large chicken wings and absolutely delicious. We also shared the Thai squid and laab aubergine which were equally tasty. For mains we had beef massaman, chicken peneang and Moo Hong (belly pork). The massaman contained a lot of lovely tender beef cheeks in a delicious rich sauce. The chicken peneang was in an excellent fragrant sauce. The chicken was far spicier than the beef, although both were marked as spicy on the menu. The pork belly was flavoursome, however, the pork was on the fatty side. Coconut ice cream and black sesame seed ice cream were a refreshing end to the meal. Service throughout was friendly and efficient. There were lots of other dishes on the menu we want to try and we will definitely return.

Happened upon this restaurant and luckily they could accommodate us. The service was fantastic and the food delicious - there’s really nothing else to say other than we will be back and I would most definitely recommend the restaurant to friends and family. So good!

Flavor packed and balanced dishes. Recommend to order the stuffed mackerel Pla Tu Yud Sai, banana flower salad Yum Hoa Plee, minced pork stir fry Khua Kling Moo, green curry Gang Kiew Wan!!

Finally a really decent authentic Thai food restaurant in London. Delicious food and a great atmosphere and vibe in the restaurant. Very friendly staff and a super nice owner. Just a win/win all round. Would highly recommend.

Really excellent food. Quite expensive but more than worth it - I’ll go again. Pad Thai, aubergine laab, slow cooked pork belly, broccoli and fried cuttlefish (or squid?) were all very delicious. Even the prawn crackers were the freshest I’ve tasted.

Very nice experience and very nice food, unfortunately I couldn't eat all my curry and my friend was the same as it was ridiculously hot! Been to Thailand, eaten in Thai restaurants and cooked many Thai curries at home but both of our dishes were simply too hot! A lot hotter than jungle curry. Sorry.

Located close to Kings Cross so great for a pre- or post-train meal. We shared stuffed chicken wings (with a superb tamarind sauce) and the aubergine to start. The aubergine in particular was one of the nicest things I've ever eaten - salty, sour, crispy, smooth, spicy. Amazing. Then Dad's beef curry with coconut rice. Again, outstanding. Prices very good for London, service great. Will definitely return.

The best Thai food in London!!!

The most delicious restaurant in London. I really enjoyed it and they were very friendly🍽️😘

Best Thai food I’ve ever had. We eat Thai food often and this place is legit. Authentic flavorful dishes!

The food was ok and had good presentations, I really liked the prawn salad dish we ordered but the satay chicken was a bit too dry. The service was ok but the kitchen staff were a bit noisy inside as we can hear it. Atmosphere wise it wasn’t too bad overall. However sadly to say it’s not one of my favourite Thai restaurants.

It's an absolute gem of a place. The food was delicious. A little pricey but it was worth it! Cento percento will visit again.

The food continues to be outstanding at Supwan. Good service. Excellent cocktail choice. There were six of us. We shared five starters (order the prawns) four main courses (order the sea bass) rice. three cocktails, one beer and two bottles of wine . The total bill was £300. It's worth it.

Thought we would try it after seeing all the good reviews - did we eat in the same restaurant? Having lived and worked in Southern Thailand for many months thought we would try. OMG the food was shocking! The Gai Yang was 4 pieces of bland chicken satay covered in a brown non descript sweet sauce. The Moo Hong was poor lumps of pork covered in the same non descript brown sauce and amazingly the Pla Sam Rod (Fish with 3 flavours NOT) was also covered in the same non descript brown sauce. We could find no sign whatsoever of the "authenticity and quality intertwine to create remarkable flavors". There was no sign of a chilli, galangal, lemon grass .. There was no sign of anything Thai - 2 young English waiters, no Thai music. This appeared to be an incredibly lazy chef just doing the bare minimum. It is not cheap either. Would never ever return. Honestly one of the poorest excuses of a Thai restaurant I've ever encountered.

My favourite Thai restaurant in London! In addition to the usual favourites, serves some fabulous lesser known dishes.

Best Thai I have eaten in London in years, can’t fault it! If you find yourself in the Kings Cross area definitely put this on your list of must do’s. Authentic Thai food and hospitality. Don’t forget to leave room for an ice cream, you won’t regret it!

Amazing ambience. Very tasty and beautiful food. Very sweet peoole!
