"With warm, terracotta-coloured walls and friendly servers, Tumnan Thai is a neighbourhood staple that has been serving hearty kaeng massaman and crispy tempura for over 20 years. The tables are tightly knit—cue you apologising awkwardly while shuffling too close to someone’s face to get out—but the cosy setup creates a nice buzz at dinnertime. Come with a small group for a long phad Thai and chicken satay-fuelled catch-up, or a casual date night when it doesn’t matter if you spill spicy red curry on your jacket." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
