My colleagues and I are absolutely addicted to GRAB! I pretty much complete my entire loyalty card every month which means complementary freebies at least once a week! Be it a comforting congee before work or a protein packed Panaeng beef curry post workout, there’s always a reason for me to swing by GRAB! For those yet to sample the delicate and delicious offerings, I heartily recommend the “Ultimate Fine Bean Salad” topped off with chicken satay skewers or the extremely tasty Moo Ping. GRAB also prepares fresh fruit juices! Writing this review is making me hungry! What can I say: I love my food!

Really enjoy the food at Grab. As a vegetarian, a lot of Thai places say they have veggie-friendly food but actually include fish sauce and the like in their dishes which means i can't eat it. What I like most at Grab is that they understand that for vegetarians, fish sauce is not veggie! Delicious veggie food at a good price and the staff are all lovely.

Very good Thai curries and noodle soups served here. If you're around Shoreditch area then I would highly recommend you drop by at Grab for lunch. This is the kind of establishment you know that run by people who really know what Thai food is. The curries are always cooked to perfection and full of good quality meat and vegetables. If you're a spicy food lover like me then don't hesitate to try their beef curry. Best one I've had in London. Noodle soups are good if you're not feeling too hungry. This place does get very crowded at lunch which I try to avoid their peak hours. Grab is my no. 1 go-to lunchtime spot.

Lovely green chicken curry and really charming staff. One let down being the lack of chicken! It was mostly courgettes, squash and bamboo. What chicken there was I felt was tasty and good quality. Some Thai places seem to use abysmal meat... Not this one, though 3 thumbnail sized pieces in the small (which incedentally is a generous size for most, if you've had breakfast) I feel is rather mean. I am going to mention it next time and hopefully they will give me double that amount of chicken, at the least. I guess it didn't help that I am not a big fan of courgettes, which did make quite a frequent appearance. This place is good, don't get me wrong. Just more meat in the curry please!

Superb, freshly made authentic Thai food - the menu is kept simple with a choice of red, green or penang curries and a selection of chicken / tofu pad thai. Excellent soups and fresh salads as well as some tasty additions such as mushroom fresh rolls or chicken satay. There are also condiments available to spice or tang up your meal to your liking - though even without any additions the food here is delicious - and most importantly (for me, anyway) - the use of free range egg and meat products really sets this little place aside. Very friendly staff - don't be put off if the queue is out on the street, it doesn't take long and the food is well worth the wait.

Been going to this little Thai place for a while now since it opened up its door back in June. Excellent food and extremely friendly and helpful staff. I love the idea of having sauce bottles for you to spice up your lunch! I 'grab' my lunch here almost everyday for the past 4 months now and still couldn't fault this place. My favourite dish has to be Pad Thai chicken with a spoonful of lime juice, dried chilli and sprinkle of the fish sauce. An advice from me would be, get in there before noon as the queue gets very long during the lunchtime.

Got lunch here today, small green chicken curry and rice for just shy of 4 quid. Really filling and the chicken seemed of acceptable quality, though there were only about 4 scanty pieces. The addition of butternut squash makes it slightly too sweet but for the price i was satisfied. Would have liked the free option of additional fresh chopped chillis rather than just dried ones.

An excellent new Old Street lunch option! The green and red curries are pretty authentic, tasty and nicely spicy, with lots of fresh veg swimming about and your choice of white or brown rice. You can choose from a civilised small pot (3.95) or a very generous 'regular' pot/bucket (6.95). A pot of Pad Thai noodles was a little dry from having sat around but it was easy to jazz up with chilli and lime and very filling. They also do skewers, salads and soups (tom yum or tom kha, with or without noodles) and congee for breakfast. It's great for takeaway but you can also sit in at the shared tables. Lovely sweet staff too. A welcome change from City Road's Eat / Pret / Subway monotony.
