About Busaba Eathai
Please note: Busaba Eathai only accepts bookings of 12 or more through toptable.What a thought! Take over the private room as Busaba Eathai with your mates, enjoy some of the tastiest Thai cuisine in the capital, drink deeply, laugh long, and remember the evening forever. You may know Busaba Eathai as a great place for a quick lunch or pre-bar supper, or even as a speedy snack stop, but when you plan your party, stag or hen night, Christmas do, or even business meal here, you lose the need for speed and get to slow down and really enjoy the food. And it is goooood. Thai, of course. The noodle dishes are popular, of course, and we can recommend the Mussaman duck curry, the Thai calamari and prawns with peanuts in betel leaves. The wines are good and modestly priced, for the most part, and the staff keep the dishes coming. The upstairs section is suited towards walk in customers and has a full a la carte menu with an average spend of around £13.
