Baan Thai Eltham - (Near Greenwich, South East)

5 /5 Jesper Chin: Was a pleasant surprise to find a new Thai place had opened up near me and had to try it. Having just recently come back from Thailand, I must say the food was really up to standard. We got the ginger beef, the Thai omelette but the stand outs were the Pad Thai (struggle to find a good pad thai), Thai Fish cakes and the Mango sticky rice. The mango was ripe and incredibly juicy and naturally sweet - very glad to have ordered it despite being full. Muhammad the waiter was also incredibly attentive so very grateful to him. Will be back again.

5 /5 Elaine kwok: My son searched Google Maps for Thai food nearby for a family dinner and found *Baan Thai Eltham*, which had a high rating and a *30% discount offer when booking through TheFork*. So we decided to give it a try. We’re really glad we did! The restaurant was easy to find, and there was plenty of street parking nearby, which made the visit very convenient. For our meal, we ordered the *Baan Thai Platter*as a starter, and for mains we had *Pad See Ew with chicken*, *Pineapple Fried Rice with prawns*, and the *Soft Shell Crab Mango Salad*. The *Baan Thai Platter* is highly recommended—especially the *chicken satay*. The satay sauce was incredibly rich, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was flavorful and well prepared, and the pineapple fried rice with pawns was both fragrant and satisfying. What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was very friendly, attentive, and provided great service, which made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. With the tasty food, warm hospitality, and great value—especially with the discount—we will definitely be happy to return again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a lovely Thai meal!

5 /5 Leo Johns: This is easily one of the tastiest and most memorable Thai restaurants in London. I have tried many Thai places across the city, and I honestly never expected to find one of the best so close to home. It was a very pleasant surprise. The food here is consistently excellent and full of flavour. One of my absolute favourites is the mango crab salad. It is fresh, crunchy, perfectly balanced, and incredibly tasty. The pad kee mao is another standout dish for me. It is properly spicy, full of bold flavours, and cooked exactly the way a great noodle dish should be. The pad bai krapow stir fry is also delicious and comforting, with that classic punch of spice. Every dish feels carefully prepared, and the flavours really shine without being overpowering. If you are a fan of Thai food and want something genuinely delicious rather than just average, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely keep coming back. Its great value for money but the waiting time for your order to come might be high so go prepared for that.

5 /5 Chongjaroenjai Jaratchai “JJ”: As a Thai living in the area Im so happy to say that proper Thai food has finally arrived in Eltham! I can honestly say the flavours here are true to home, which is hard to find outside of Central London and the menu has more variety than most places. Here’s what we ordered (great for 3–4 people if you want to try something other than Pad Thai or Green Curry): calamari and chicken wings for starters, the duck curry, fried seabass with lemongrass sauce (SO GOOD if you love fish!), prawn pla salad and morning glory vegetable stir-fry on the side. Everything eaten with jasmine rice, of course. We were really surprised because the old restaurant here was just okay, but we were told theyve reopened under new management with a Thai chef who has over 20 years of experience. So honestly hope they do well because the food is great and they deserve to become a local favourite.

5 /5 Sally Hawthorne: Very welcoming and friendly owner. The chef comes from Thailand. Warm and cosy interior. Thai music playing in the background. Spotlessly clean. Delicious food.... started with Chicken Satay followed by a sea bass main Pla Chee Chu with Jasmine rice. My booking was for 6.30pm so early evening. Although I was only making a weekend visit I would definitely recommend this eatery.
