Sawadika Fine Thai Restaurant

Undoubtably the worst Thai in London. Greasy soup, crusty rice and tasteless spices. Lunch menu seems good value but it’s not. It’s lousy food and expensive drinks. Avoid like the plague

We ordered pineapple fried rice with prawn, Grill Chicken, Massaman Lamb stir fried curry with jumbo prawn. the pineapple rice served in a real pineapple. we also ordered two Thai milk tea. all the taste are very authenic. Service is quick and good

The food here was absolutely delicious, and very good value. It was only £9.50 for an appertizer and a main on the lunchtime menu. The appertizer is served on the same plate as the main. I had the spring rolls and yellow curry with deep fried chicken and it was divine. Visualizza piatti

Love thai food so thought we would give here a go. We wasn't disappointed with the food we had chicken padang curry and lamb shank masaman curry pad Thai and egg fried rice. We enjoyed all dishes. The staff at times were over attentive, although good services but at times too much.

The food was really average, and the service pretty poor. We had 3 dishes and a couple of drinks, none of them were that great, honestly felt we could have cooked better at home. The food came out wrong also, and this was whilst we were the only customers in the restaurant when we first sat down to eat. I think the service was also poor, I think we were pretty low maintenance but one staff member in particular made us feel we were an inconvenience. The atmosphere of the joint also not the most thrilling, felt a bit clinical and well boring. And the final bill, well we were both surprised at what it totalled. Whether we liked the food or not, it was really bad value for money.

Had the service been at the same level as the food, I would definitely have rated it 5 stars! What a pity to spoil a reputation because of simple, stupid service mistakes! First, very long wait (at least 20 min) before even taking our order, when the restaurant was far from full or busy. Second, despite my wife explicitly saying that she wanted one of the dishes served as her main, it was served first, even before our starter! Hoping that the other mains would arrive in reasonable time, we waited patiently, but they only showed up after another 20 or 25 minutes! Bottom line, my wife’s main was stone cold when my main was served… And to fop it all up, when paying, the waiter had the nerve ti... Visualizza piatti

Met a friend for dinner, I’m vegetarian and my friend eats halal so thought this would be ideal. Very few true vegetarian options as some dishes contain shrimp paste. Ordered veggie pho soup only to be told there was none left… it was 5.30pm on a Friday evening… Ordered a noodle dish that looked grim, tasted grimmer. Unable to eat even half of it. Poor service, my friend ordered a dish with chicken, received it with prawns so had to be sent back. We were so looking forward to Thai food but this was anything but, it was a combo of Indian curry and Thai food, it was a poor choice of menu and food. Ended up paying over £40 as refused to pay service charge, they didn’t even ask why or if we were...

This was a bit of an odd experience. I was on a business trip and fancied a Thai meal. There's all these Thai chain restaurants in the West End near my hotel, but I wanted to give an independent restaurant a chance and some custom, so I walked the longer distance to this place, and was looking forward to the soft-shell crab. The crab and the Tom Kha both tasted great. But found the service offputting. Waiters pacing up and down and playing with pens, unhelpful advice, no questions asked during the meal or interest shown in how it's going. My teapot leaked, and I mopped things up with a paper napkin which sat there for the rest of the meal. They wouldn't accept my Scottish banknotes. This res...

An early alert for this experience was when browsing the menu on the window outside a staff member came out to invite us in and as the Thai menu seemed familiar we followed. Perhaps this 'fishing for customers ' pays off. You would expect a member of the Thai community at a good Thai restaurant, but the staff at Sawadika appeared to be Indian, with one inconsiderate staff member either staring at his phone or at customers. Though observing customers is natural, a smile would be more welcome than a sneer. When it comes to the food this was poor: there was no broccoli on the vegetarian option "with broccoli ' and the lamb dish was just a lamb shank stuck in a bowl of sauce with very little gar...
