BUSABA EATHAI

Being gluten free definitely has its challenges when it comes to Asian cuisine.

Fortunately for us this issue has been solved by Busaba Eathai; a modern Thai diner serving excellent food in a causal, fuss free, environment. Perfect for a quick one course, an intimate dinner or even a large party, this place is a great gluten free eatery.

From their aromatic Wok Tossed Cashews to start, traditional Thai Curries for mains and even a stunningly fragrant Kaffir Lime Crème Brulee for dessert, its more about deciding what to eat that you’ll find problematic!

For me there are two notable dishes that I need to tell you about.

Firstly, their Chicken Satay; unbelievably tender chicken that even without the sauce would be worth mentioning! Thankfully though their satay sauce IS gluten free, a rarity that needs to be highlighted, and is absolutely divine.

Secondly, their Pad Thai; quoted from a well-travelled friend as “the closest (thing) to what can be found on the streets of Bangkok”. It’s got the perfect balance of flavours and at £8.95 for a massive plate it’s a winner.

Pair these with their Lemongrass and Thai basil martini or the Pink Peppercorn Margarita and it’s a match made in heaven!

I adore this place, simple as.
