Absolute Thai
About Absolute Thai
It is common for us to develop a taste for new cuisine regardless of whether or not it’s ’good’ or ’authentic’ simply because our palates don’t know any better. Whatever your experience of Thai food, do your tastebuds a favour, and eat at Absolute Thai where flavour, quality, care, presentation and service rarely come better than this in central London. A modern oasis-like restaurant, it is beautifully lit by spotlights, a mirrored wall, and a strip of underlit pebbles running along the back of the banquette seating. By far the bestselling dish is a house special of half (most places offer a meagre quarter) a roast duck surrounded by a gorgeous tamarind sauce next to a nest of crispy seaweed. You’ll be back.
