Busaba in english

Busaba, London

We had looked the restaurant up before hand from internet. Busaba was conveniently situated near the Prince of Wales theatre where we were going to pick up our tickets for the evenings musical. We walked along Wardour street to find the restaurant. After a whole day of shopping our feed were killing us and we were almost about to quit. But suddenly we saw a very nice looking restaurant on the street and luckily it was Busaba!

Ambience

The restaurant was pretty empty, when we arrived there at 5pm. The waiter told us later that usually in the evenings people have to queue to get seated. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed. In Busaba there are large square tables for 10 people and the idea is to share tables with others. The design was Asian with Scandinavian twist or other way around, can’t really say :-).

Food

For the starter we decided to share Pandan Chicken with Garlic and coriander root wrapped in pandan leaf (5,50 £.).It was fantastic! The appetizer was enough for two.

For the main course Mirka ordered Green chicken curry with pea aubergine and corn (8.60£) and Pauliina chose Chicken butternut squash with cashew nut and dried chili (6.80£). Food was great in Busaba. The dishes weren’t too hot but still they were very well seasoned. They also had spicier dishes for hard core chili users ;-) We were very happy that we found this lovely thai restaurant which served well made thai food in a relax but well thought atmosphere.

Service

The Service in Busaba was very good. The waiters were friendly and happy and they seemed to enjoy their work. The Service was also very quick and that suited us well cause we were really hungry ;)

Quality compared to price

Busaba is a chain restaurant and you can find them all over London. The restaurant we visited is the original one. We can only hope that we would get restaurant chains like this in Finland. Good reasonably priced food completed with nice decoration. Three dishes and few beers cost 34£. Busaba
