Overall, fairly disappointed. The venue gives an old-ish vibe, with old furniture and torn couches. Service levels not up to the mark, as on top, there were 2 servers to 10 tables - leaving the servers to scramble across the tables. The servers also did not inform us that half the seafood dishes were not available (including seabass and crab) - this derailed the entire experience, as we could not get the signature dishes. Drinks were the saving grace of the night.

We first visited Patara about 8 years ago and it quickly became our ‘go to’ Thai when in London. The food is always fabulous (with plenty of vegetarian choices for me), the red curry being a firm favourite. The staff are very professional; friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The only reason for the drop in a star is for the decor, which sadly is looking a little old and tired now. Whilst this detail doesn’t affect the quality of food and service (5 stars for each of those), the lighting above the banquette is a little harsh, affecting the overall ambience and dining experience. I would love to see this wonderful restaurant refreshed and re-energised with a lick of paint and softer illumination, to make the dining experience 5 star on every level. We will keep coming back because it is special to us and the food is so delicious but it would be wonderful to see Patara back at its glorious best.

Not too busy, so a nice relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly and efficient staff. We wanted to try various things, so went for a set menu at £50 pp. Set for two is more than enough for three person. It was all very nicely cooked and tasted really good. Scallops is my favourite.

Restaurant describes itself as fine Thai cuisine. Sorry don't agree. Most of it was microwaved/ warmed up food. Nothing diff from other Thai restaurants. Good ambience and service. But food nothing special and overly priced.

It was one of the hottest days of the year so the aircon could have done with being on. It was sweltering. Everything was fantastic though, food, service. I live in Thailand and the crab yellow curry was better than I get back home. ฉันคิดว่ามันเป็นอาหารไทยที่ดีที่สุดในลอนดอน

Dinner after a theatre matinee on a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant is cool and welcoming. We had a couple of cocktails and the £50 pp set menu which gave us 4 starters and a soup course, followed by 4 mains to share and rice. All of the courses were delicious, especially the scallops and duck spring rolls, I would recommend the set menus to try a wide variety of their excellent food. Would highly recommend Patara.

We booked here for a birthday dinner for my partner as we both love Thai food and being new to London this place came recommend by some friends. We had the platter for two of which our favourite was the duck spring rolls, a chicken green curry and king prawn pad thai. All of the food was delicious, fresh and presented very well. I had a lychee martini and my partner a thai mojito which were both excellent. We left happy, full and are already making plans for another visit.
