Patara Fine Thai Cuisine Soho

I had pre-Christmas dinner here with my best friends. It was a bit of a hit and miss experience. The ambience would’ve been cosier if the lighting was more subdued. It was a bit noisy too. Maybe plying some Thai instrumental music in the background would help? We liked the salads but felt the noodles and curry could have been spicier. The coconut rice was well made and so was the Thai iced tea. Service was also good. As dining here was a bit on the pricey side, we expected more. But I’m willing to come back again for the salads and to explore other dishes in the menu.

Exquisite Thai food, probably some of the best I've had in London. The sea bass was definitely a highlight, and it was great to see authentic dishes that you don't get everywhere, such as Thai omelettes and the Thai ice tea. Excellent service throughout the meal.

Some of our friends took us for dinner and we were delighted to enjoy some delicious dishes. The restaurant is located in the very heart of London's theatre district. One of the Best Restaurants in Soho! Great quality and fine presentation of Thai dishes, both traditional and contemporary.

Visited on a Sunday at 5pm and was seated straight away. Fantastic food of high quality and great ambiance too. Pad Thai and Lamb shank were great portions and they changed one of the orders around upon request. Mocktails were also very tasty. I can see why people said it’s too dark inside because the lights were dimmed whilst we were eating but I didn’t mind. My friend who wears glasses took a bit of adjusting. Overall I would recommend this place just be prepared to spend a little.

Couldn’t ask for more, a lovely and authentic Thai experience with excellent service and atmosphere. We were searching without a reservation and many restaurants were fully booked, so this was initially slightly speculative as they had tables free. An excellent choice. We chose the “silver” menu to try various dishes, all good. For theatre district / soho cocktails and food decent prices. Service swift. Nice to try Thai wine - excellent with the food, not much on its own. All highly recommended
