The Parlour - (Near Westminster, South East)

Deus_Code Where do we even start? It is the most important landmark in central London. It calls to me like a sirens song across Victoria. I hand over £5 for the Mr tandoor box and it feels like I’ve committed a robbery. The chicken? Consistently perfect, soft and tender like a mother’s kiss. The peri salted fries? They should be regulated as a class A substance. They’re ‘basic’ in the same way the sun is ‘basic’: essential for life and glowing with power. But when combined with their signature sauces, it transcends simply ‘chicken and chips’ and becomes a spiritual awakening of your third culinary eye. I tell you now: if I am ever on death row, do not bring me a steak. Do not bring me a lobster. Go to Victoria, find bossman, and bring me the Tandoor box. I will go out with a smile and peri-salt on my lips. While the politicians argue down the road at Westminster, bossman simply serves the people. Long live the Mr Tandoor box, a king’s feast for a pauper’s coin.

Rhonda Williams We went for New years Eve and it was a great decision. The set menu was filled with enticing choices. We started with a gin based aperitif which was included. Very nice. Then there was an amazing amuse bouche, followed by a delightful selection of starters. I had an outstanding lamb dish. A mid course beetroot cake with house made fruit ketchup was a perfectset up for our main courses. I hade grilled Tiger Shrimp which was out of this world. There was naan, raita and dhal for the table. Finally I finished with a chocolate ganache accompanied by a lime basil sorbet that I will try to reproduce at home. The service was never rushed, and was impeccable. There was also a small jazz band with a great singer playing all evening. We ended with a glass of sparkling wine each before heading home after midnight. A thoroughly enjoyable evening! It was pricy when wine and beer and a tip were added.

Natalie We had an absolutely fantastic time celebrating our UK wedding ceremony at Kaosarn. We’ve been coming here for years and have always loved the food and the vibe, so it felt like the perfect place to mark such a special occasion. As always, the Thai food was incredibly delicious – full of flavour and beautifully cooked – and the service was outstanding. The team are so attentive, warm and welcoming, and the BYOB is amazing, which made the whole celebration even more relaxed and fun. A huge special shout-out to Gisele, who truly went above and beyond to make our day extra special. She helped us choose our table in advance, laid it beautifully with our wedding decorations, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Gisele and the whole team are excellent and soooo friendly, which really makes Kaosarn stand out. We had the best time, and our family absolutely loved it too. Kaosarn never disappoints – tasty Thai food, great atmosphere, and wonderful people. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Nat and Ed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rebecca Lewington Popped in at random for a pint and stayed for Sunday lunch! Rolled pork belly stuffed with Cumberland sausage over tasty roasted veg topped with a noble Yorkshire pudding. Yum! Nice staff, too, including young Mark.

Salam Adam I had a very nice encounter with a man working there called Syed. He is so friendly and is really good at cooking his chicken. I recommend getting chicken and chips from here!

Bill D Went with the kids after our original place was closed. Quiet when we arrived but not surprising for a wet Monday night in October. Great welcome, friendly service and the kids really enjoyed their food. Even enjoyed a complimentary freshly made frittata. No room for dessert at the end and we boxed up the remnants of the pizza. Overall a very enjoyable evening.
