Could be so much better. The food is sometimes excellent, sometimes poor.

But what lets this place down the most is that you are crammed in like sardines! They have adopted the wagamama approach by having couples sitting opposite each other on long tables. However when you are sitting there comfortably the waiter plonks another couple right next to you... like being back at school. Very impersonal when you have complete strangers about 10cms either side of you.

I would recommend this place for take away but not to eat in!

A cheap, cheerful alternative to sandwich or burger at lunch. Don't expect a restaurant and see it more as a tasty cafe, whizzing out delicious food at low prices. The pad thai is always a winner, generous portions of thick sweet noodles covered in chilli, nuts, beansprouts and spring onion. The red thai curry too is beautiful and subtlety flavoured with a mound of fluffy steamed rice. Drinks on offer are standard and the service is prompt and smiley. Take a good book or paper and it becomes the perfect place for a solo lunch.

Hmmmm a very average place in Clapham Common. Although most resturants in this area are particularly average.

You sit on long shared benches which I am usually ok with but you are jamemd in like sardines. To get in and out of your seat you almost need to lie down and swing yourself around. If a girl was wearing a dress or skirt it would be near impossible to get in and out of your seat.

Menu is very short and the food is clearly pre-prepared and your meal is on your table less than 90 seconds after ordering. Everything is very average - maybe slightly better than a take away Thai joint.

On the plus side food is cheap and you can get a meal for about £7.50.

This place is fine for a quick informal meal only but be prepared for a very rushed, squashy and noisy experience.
