The best restaurants serving Thai food in Aldersgate, Cheap City of London, Westminster London

Went here as two couples for an evening meal. Food was lovely, service was a little hit and miss - hard to get their attention. Slightly more expensive that other Thai meals I've had in London, but not too much. Would definitely go back.

My partner ordered a vegetarian dish and specifically asked for no tofu , it arrived at the table with tofu, so had to send it back. My dish Gaeng Dang Supparod, duck leg. I was only offered a fork, spoon or chopsticks to eat this with. Also tasted very bland, no real flavour. Every time we had a issue we had to wait awhile to get attention. Service was poor. We have been to other branches and had a great experience, was totally let down at this one .

Decided to try this place as reviews looked good. Called ahead to book as it was a Friday eve and thought it would be busy. Needn't have bothered as place was completely empty despite it being in a busy location and right next to a chip shop. Went with 2 friends who had travelled from North London. Wasn't greeted very well, staff didnt seem particularly interested and did not smile. No interaction about the menu. We were curious about the menu as it appears to be a fusion rather than authentic Thai. We ordered drinks and again no interaction from staff (it wasnt like they were run off of their feet). What really put us off was someone in the kitchen kept clearing their throat as if they were unwell. At this point we were so uncomfortable and decided to pay for the drinks and leave. As we got up and were saying 'bye', we received no response. They are rude! As a new venue, we would have expected they would be falling over themselves to welcome customers in. We managed to go to another Thai restaurant in Ilford and had a pleasant meal and evening there. Definitely do not recommend Jilani based on lack of service. Unable to comment on the food as we didnt get a chance to eat there.
