Patara

Patara is a Thai restaurant in Soho serving traditional dishes alongside more contemporary cooking. The presentation is careful and the kitchen leans on quality ingredients, but the food stays rooted in Thai cooking rather than chasing trends.

The name means 'gracious lady', a nod to founder Khun Patara Sila-On, who has worked as a restaurateur for more than 30 years. That experience shows in the service, which carries a warmth you do not always find in central London. If you want proper Thai food in a calm room, it is a reliable choice.
