Baan Thai in Camden

Best Thai delivery within a 2 mile radius. Green Curry all the way!

We've ordered takeaway before but stopped in to sample the restaurant and so glad we did. Great service, lovely staff really quick and top quality. Anytime it makes sense we'll be visiting rather than ordering out from now on as its perfect and so quick it makes sense prior to say, going to a gig at the forum.Great value and great food.

HOME DELIVERY CONSISTENCYThey have free delivery for over £15.They've started a loyalty stamp system - like cafe Nero and others.If you collect enough stamps you get £25 !!!! Off next order.This is not an incentive for me because their food is so damned good anyway.I have started asking staff for reccomendations. You know - like asking a wine expert on what's best to go with what. They don't just say the special or the most expensive item. You chat with them (they're very friendly people) and you say the sorts of things you like or have had before and they will come up with some suggestions.Today's hot fresh home delivery included;Tom Ka soup.If you like tom yum but find it maybe just a touch too spicy - try Tom Ka. It's sort of milder and got coconut milk. Marvelous.Bangkok chicken.In a sort of batter. But, not the Chinese takeaway or fish n chip shop batter. It's sort of thinner and just seals in the juices and taste of the chicken. In a sauce with veggies and Zing, tang, flavour. But,at the same time not overpowering and leaving you feel well fed but not stuffed.These are the consistent results I always get from Baan Thai cuisine.And, if you think about it...... consistently reaching or exceeding your expectations is why you go back again and again.2 years ago in summer I wrote- Thai saladsPerfect for hot summer weather when you just want a light, well priced salad with that wonderful Thai zing.Maybe with a lemon tea.Perhaps share a kampung nasi goreng. I have had nasi goreng many times in Bali and Baan Thai's is equal in flavour.Slightly different in layout (Baan Thai doesn't serve Ayam pieces on the side) but then, Balinese Indonesian is different from Java Indonesian etc........prior reviewsThis is Thai and Malay food. So, all the idiots ordering or asking for HK, Guandong, or Szechuan dishes need to re-read the sign.I started with Tom Ka (Tom Yum with coconut milk). Very flavoursome. Kafir lime as well as lemongrass, very tasty white chicken meat, quartered button mushrooms cooked just long enough to absorb the flavours. Fish sauce (of course). Some people don't like the smell of fish sauce. I agree it can take a little getting used to. But, I promise you - this Tom ka with the fresh basil on top was well worth it.I followed with a green papaya salad:- mmmm that sweet, sour, hot, crunchy combination is just wonderful. Perfect for a warm day. Shredded carrot, Julienne papaya, bean sprouts, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh, crunchy roasted peanuts, green beans, some red chilli lettuce..... And the sauce!! Hot, tangy, juices, palm sugar all twirled together and demanding to be eaten.I paid just over £11 for those two items total.Not too busy at 2pm.... Couriers coming and going and a few seated customers.A really yummy lunch.Subsequent visit(s) I tried the nasi goreng.Strictly speaking this is an Indonesian dish. But, the Malaysian and Indonesian people originate from the same stock so it,a not surprising that some dishes (particularly rice dishes) are identical.Though, for me, the influence in Malaysia of Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisine has produced far more delicious variety.The Thai iced tea (without milk) is very fragrant and not too sweet.I am going to have to return many times, because everything I have tried so far is wonderful and delicious.Charming, courteous, pleasant staff (as one always finds with both Thai and Malay people).Six stars.

Great little find just near the o2 forum. Great vegetarian selections and even though they were very busy they couldn't have been any more helpful. Will certainly return when in the area. The drunken noodles are to die for!

Kumpung Nasi Goreng and Vegetable Gyoza were absolutely fantastic. So flavourful and quick service. Would definitely recommend.

One of the best Thai/Malaysian restaurant this side of the river. The standard Thai curries are all brilliant and so are the Nasi gorengs. Good choice of starters too, with the salt and pepper chicken and papaya salad being our favourite. Really puzzled with some of the negative reviews... Stop moaning like a Karen/Boomer and support fantastic local business.

Friendly service, adequate but uninspiring food.Ordered a mix of dishes, a chicken green curry, a som tam (papaya salad), some morning glory, and a beef phad krapraw (stir fry with onion, beans, holy basil, and chilli).The som tam was passable - slivers of carrot and what could have been green papaya or something more generic, pops of fiery heat from chilli, and some green beans. The dressing felt a little watery, lacking both vibrancy of fresh lime and saltiness of fish sauce. The peanuts were few, whole, and a tad over-roasted. I would have preferred them to have been crushed, so they incorporated better into the salad, but that's a matter of preference. A better dressing would have fixed this dish.The morning glory was easily the best dish - thin slices of chilli and tonnes of oyster sauce gave a really savoury flavour.The green curry was an adequate attempt, but everything had room for improvement. The sauce was very sweet (which I don't particularly mind), with OK coconut flavour but minimal heat. Big chunks of vegetables were pretty disappointing, but the bamboo shoots were a worthwhile inclusion. The chicken itself had a disappointing texture, soft but with a slight bounce, likely the result of over-aggressive velveting. So much of Thai cooking is about balance, and this was another dish that failed in that regard - more heat and more fragrance along with less sweetness would have made a large improvement.The final dish was the beef phad krapraw and was the biggest let-down of them all. Typically this dish is a relatively dry stir fry with a base of garlic and chillies, small pieces of some protein, and then fistfuls of holy basil. It's also quite customary to serve this with an oil-basted fried egg. First off, no egg. That's fine, it wasn't mentioned on the menu. I think it's a shame not to include it, but so be it. Then for the dish. What I received was a dish of sliced beef (again with a bad texture from over-velveting), large chunks of bell peppers and onions, a few bits of chilli, all served in a pool of a generic, dark brown sauce. Very low heat level, everything looked pale, like their burners aren't powerful enough, again no fragrance from chilli and garlic, and worst of all, no holy basil in sight. That's simply too grave a fault to overlook.The service and price was all plenty good enough to make me consider returning, but the quality of the cooking was just not good enough. If you're unfussy and just want some palatable food, by all means go to Baan Thai, but if what you're really after is big Thai flavours and diligent cookery, maybe give it a miss.

Baan Thai has verity of tasty foodLast night placed an ordered on the UberEats app. I ordered Prawn Pad Thai £8.95, Singapore Laksa £9.90, Prawn Stir Fried Black Beans Sauce £8.95. They were fantastic, flavours were great, definitely glad we chose Baan Thai again...The takeaway arrived piping hot, and I must express their portions very generous. I have eaten here several times and finally decided to leave a review.Well worth a try and especially for vegetarians. To me this is the best Thai restaurant/takeaway in Kentish Town hands down. I will definitely return soon!

The finger food and the main courses had unique taste to each dish, which made me remember the authentic food I had in Thailand. The food itself was just the right amount of filling. The service could use one more person, however having one person serving and taking orders is sometimes good for a small place like this, and she was a very nice person.

Came across this restaurant when catching the bus the other day and decided to try their food. My friends ordered pad Thai and rice noodles, I ordered the Bangkok chicken and all three dishes were so delicious! Even though the kitchen seems really busy preparing takeaways (they seem really popular on Uber eats), their service and food for dine in customers was not compromised. I’ll definitely be back 😊
