Thai Square - Islington
About Thai Square - Islington
The Thai Square group have done a good job of turning three levels of shops near Angel Tube into a recommendable mid-priced restaurant. Tall ceilings, lots of natural light, plants and traditional Thai art are among the nice touches that make for a genuinely comfortable eating environment. Overlooking the large main dining room is an equally spacious mezzanine, often reserved for private parties. The bar’s in the basement. Pick of the consistently good menu are Thai-restaurant staples, pad thai and green chicken curry. The more adventurous like weeping tiger. Not the real thing, of course, but a spicy beef dish. The vegetarian menu fills an entire page. Lovely staff. All in all, very good value.
