Farang London

The 11 Best Thai Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"Ever since opening as a pop-up before becoming permanent, Farang has been a neighbourhood favourite in Highbury. Small plates like the miang bites (betel leaves stuffed with prawn and pomegranate) and the curries combine British produce with classic sweet, sour, spicy, and salty flavours from all over Thailand. Inside it’s a tight-knit, foliage-heavy affair with glowing lamps and lurid gai prik, which is a deep-fried chicken in an orange and fish sauce glaze." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"The flavours of Southeast Asia are the inspiration behind this stylish restaurant and bar that occupies the building once home to the Stockholm Electric Company. The unusual front door harks back to its former occupation, but once inside it's a chic space with soft lighting and a large open kitchen. The colorful, zingy cooking includes Thai dishes like laab and crying tiger beef, along with Vietnamese-style sashimi and other influences from the wider region. Strong service, sensible prices and a fun atmosphere complete the picture." - Michelin Inspector

"It’s easy to understand why Farang is so popular; it’s an immensely likeable restaurant serving generous and heartwarming recipes from all regions of Thailand – and even with overly eager ordering, you finish up with a bill that isn’t too overwhelming. Each dish, be it the salted turmeric prawns or the whole sea bass with raspberry nahm jim, showcases the hallmarks of Thai cuisine: freshness, vibrancy and a lovely balance of the sweet and the sour. The ‘Feasting’ menus are great for groups, and you’ll find it hard to resist buying some of their homemade produce on the way out too." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Restaurants For Frozen Meals & Supplies - London - The Infatuation

"The Thai-influenced neighbourhood favourite in Highbury has a whole larder menu for you to fill your fridge and freezer from. Pre-made red, green, and massaman curries feature, including vegetarian options. Or, if you’re happy to do a little bit of chopping, then the Ka Prow stir fry, or pad Thai caramel sauces, could be a good option." - jake missing

Where To Eat Around Highbury - London - The Infatuation

"The Thai-influenced spot has been around since 2017 and quickly became a neighbourhood favourite. There are small plates like the miang bites (betel leaves stuffed with prawn and pomegranate) and curries which combine British produce with sweet, sour, spicy, and salty Thai flavours. The space, once an old-school Italian spot, feels very much like Farang's now—the outside facade has been painted black and the tables inside provide bright colours courtesy of dishes like prawn and herb-laden jungle curry and lurid-looking gai prik." - jake missing
