Greyhound Café | A Legendary Thai Restaurant Comes to London ...
food drinks
Greyhound Café | Fitzrovia Thai Restaurant The Greyhound Cafe has a dish called the ‘Complicated Noodle’… …which tends to be the case when you Thai food.
But as eclectic as all that may seem, it’s the menu that’s the real eye-popper… THE FOOD Running with a truly unique hybrid of Western Thai influences, you’ll find dishes like their Hot Oil Pork Knuckle (German-style golden fried pork knuckle with spicy tamarind curry paste and jaew sauce); the Phuket Burger (a crispy soft shell crab burger with avocado wasabi dressing); their Angry Pasta (wok-fried spaghetti with mixed seafood all doused in their Thai “angry” hot sauce); and the aforementioned Complicated Noodles (DIY rice noodle sheets and iceberg lettuce topped with minced pork sauce Greyhound’s spicy lime sauce; you’ll have to put it all together yourself, but it’ll be worth it).
And then there are… THE DRINKS Aside from the quartet of Thai-brewed beers on offer you can also drown one of their many cocktails, most of which use mekhong (a native Thai spirit brewed using molasses rice) as a base; the Bang Yee Kun Sour adds to it some lime, lemongrass and ginger syrup, while a little apricot Benedictine makes the Samyan Joke.
NOTE: The Greyhound Café is open now.

Known for their hip style and modern, quirky take on Thai food, the quintessentially Bangkok Greyhound Cafe has opened with great verve in Fitzrovia.
On opening night, founder of the cult fashion brand and the restaurant group too, Bhanu Inkawat to us that they wanted to do something different with Thai food, as in fashion, giving it a distinctive style of their own.
Some of the staff sported jackets saying "I may not speak Thai but I can recommend good dishes."
The menu itself is a gorgeous work of art, more like a magazine, with stunning highly colourful photography that makes every dish look irresistible.
Crab wok fried rice, a main dish, comes with a hugely generous mound of crab and a somewhat bland broth.
Greyhound Café review: Katie Glass gets lost in the fusion confusion ...

I’d barely been back from Thailand a week and three people had recommended the Greyhound Café.
The first Greyhound Café opened in Bangkok’s Sukhumvit district, a backpacker-hipster hotspot of trendy hostels, co-working spaces and craft beer joints.
UCL and London College of Fashion students buzz around streets of trendy juice bars and restaurants with ampersands in their names.
Maybe in the Noughties, when we were still perving over Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach, this would have passed for Thai food.
Those of us who’ve been to Thailand know the real cuisine is street food, eaten with your fingers beside the heat of the grill.
