Everyone needs an awesome local Thai restaurant, right? Well if you live in the Archway/Holloway Road area - this is definitely it.
Yeah, it's not the best Thai in London. Yeah, it serves more or less the exact same thing as in any other Thai restaurant. But hey, who cares if it's really tasty, good quality and decent quantities?
The staff is nice and friendly (yes, I get easily bribed with prawn crackers), the venue is cosy (if maybe a tad old, but it gives it some charm).
So if you're in the area and have a Green Curry craving, don't hesitate a second. Shoo! -

Called up Nid Ting the other night to order take-away. I asked the lady on the other line if they had a website so that I could look at their menu online, before placing the final order. She informed me that, unfortunately, they don't have a website, but that instead she knew the menu inside out and would be more more than happy to help me make a decision: I loved the idea of having a "human" or "interactive" menu and so I agreed on the deal.
I was ordering dinner for a group of four, one of the woman being pregnant. This pregnant woman put in a request for beef and so I told the lady on the other line that, amongst others, I definitely needed some beef dishes...don't ever screw with a pregnant woman ;-)
This is where it became interesting; I remember having eaten some lemon-grass beef dish at another Thai restaurant and so I asked her if they had something like this on the menu. In her lovely Thai accent she then went on to explain up me that while this is a possible combination, but that I'm fact in traditional Thai cuisine beef is not paired with lemon grass. If I wanted to have a nice beef dish, she'd recommend stir-fried beef with Thai basil. Or, the marinated beef salad. On the other hand, if I wanted the lemon grass, she'd suggest the Tom Yum soup.
Needless to say, with such a lovely and informative interactive menu, I followed all of her suggestions. On top of that, I also ordered a red duck curry, a Pad Thai (with prawns and not beef, obviously) as well as a mixed starter and some egg fried rice and white rice.
I thanked her and 15 minutes later I showed up at the restaurant to pick up my order. It was a Friday evening and every table was filled. (With it being so busy, I even more appreciated that they has taken so much time for me on the phone earlier.) The food was almost ready - thank goodness, or else the pregnant lady might have changed her desire and maybe demanded lamb instead of beef ;-)
Lastly, I should mention that the food was great...and even the pregnant friend was happy as a puppy!
Note: it's take-away only, no delivery. -

Pretty yummy Thai food that you can take-away, although they won't deliver. It would be the perfect 'lazy' food if I didn't have to walk down to collect it(!)
We tried:
- Pad Thai = above average and really tasty, although it only contained about four prawns (sad face)
- Spring rolls = not bad, but nothing to write home about
- Duck Curry = I loved this one, is had a gorgeous, slightly spicy flavour
- Stir fried veggies with Oyster sauce = Not bad
- Ribs marinated in honey = Oooh these were good, but the lads ate them so fast I only got to try one!
All in all, it was good value, and tasty. -

Solid food, reasonable prices, friendly and attentive service, nicely decorated and cozy interior. Worth a try if you are in the area!

Surprisingly good thai restaurant in a random area of North London!
Went here after stumbling across the good reviews on Qype, and was not disappointed at all. When we got there we had to wait for a table for 10 minutes, as three other empty tables were reserved, showing how popular this place is.
Pricewise its reasonable, which compares well to most of the overpriced thai restaurants in central London. Portions were of decent size, and the food taste was very authentic. The only downside was that the food took some time to arrive.
We had the steamed monkfish which was very fresh and tender, and the sauce it was steamed in was full of flavour. Our som thai salad was good, but slightly too spicy.
Main dishes were £6-11 each, and I think around 3 for a couple is enough to be filling.
