Where to eat Thai

From decent portions of spicy food served with well kept beer to gentle prices and eccentric decor in a family run restaurant, Charles Campion reveals where to head if you're looking for Thai cooking that hasn't been "dumbed-down"...

The Churchill Arms
119 Kensington Church Street, W8
You'll find a very decent portion of stir fried noodles at this small establishment to the rear of a pub. Spicy food and very well kept Fuller's beers make this a favourite. £9pp ex-drinks (020 7792 1246)

Tong Ka Nom Thai
833 Harrow Road, NW10
This small, family run restaurant on the Harrow Road offers very gently pricing and a good standard of "non-dumbed-down" Thai cooking. The decor is eccentric and charming. £12pp BYO (020 8964 5373)

Busaba Eathai
22 Store Street, WC1
Big business and part of a chainlet, Busaba Eathai embodies the spirit of shared tables. There are great stir fried noodles and some of the "meals-in-a-bowl" are startlingly fresh. £12pp exdrinks (020 7299 7900)
