"The Begging Bowl is a relaxed neighbourhood restaurant that just happens to have fantastic Thai food. This Peckham go-to is one of the best in London, and it helps that the staff are friendly and helpful with guiding you through the menu of sharing plates. Comforting Thai dishes like gaeng bumbai, a curry with beef so tender that you poke at it with your fork and pink strands will pull away, or deep-fried gai tod make this a memorable meal." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
