what the critics say

Guardian

Matthew Norman - 4/10

Saturday, March 10, 2007 - Within two minutes of arriving at Benja, which promises "a new type of Thai cuisine" based on "the flavours and tastes of Royal Siam", it was to the inspirational advice (expirational advice, technically, but we'll let that pedantry pass) of a certain Anna Leonowens that I found myself turning. "Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect," Missus Anna taught us in song, as she struggled to acclimatise to life with Yul Brynner, "And whistle a happy tune/So no one will suspect I'm afraid."

went here for a meet-colleague-outside-work dinner so were looking for a professional service. food quality in general was satisfactory but found the service be really slow on what didn't seem to be a busy evening. the dining experience seemed overpriced for what it was.

there are some really good Thai alternatives in the area – won't be going risking this again.

I tried the set lunch today and its was outstanding. I chose the seasonal mushroom salad which was a mouthwatering appertizer and the thai green curry - both as good as any Thai dish that I've had outside Thailand. Nice ambiance and attentive service. Very good value.

Just visited this place on lunch with a mate for the set lunch and we both thought the food was amazing. I have tried loads of thai restaurants around London but this was definitely the best green curry I've ever had! Ingredients were really fresh. We both had the chicken satay which was gorgeous. Can't say anything bad about this place.
