Jasmine Thai on the Goldhawk Road

Some of my favourite restaurants closed during Covid; we lost local gems such as The Albertine on Wood Lane, replaced in 2024 by (yet another) characterless chicken shop.  

One survivor worth celebrating is the delightful Jasmine Thai on Goldhawk Road, where I had lunch today.  Delicious Thai food, all at absurdly low prices.

Jasmine Thai has been on Goldhawk Road since forever.  Or, at least, since I moved to the neighbourhood in 2011, which is about the same thing. 

The service is brisk and efficient and the atmosphere is charming - just what you would expect from a family-run local restaurant, with the careful attention to detail that no chain restaurant can ever quite achieve. 

Today I had the Thai Green Curry with Chicken, my friend had the Penang Curry.  Both were delicious, all washed down with fragrant Jasmine Tea.  

Cash Only

It's a cash only restaurant, no credit cards (the cause of one or two grumpy reviews at Tripadvisor).  But since lunch only costs a tenner, one can hardly complain.
