Royal Thai Restaurant

TLDR: Lunch sets are value for money - decent food with reasonable prices. We ordered 3 lunch sets - for £9 you get a starter and a main. In total, we tried their chicken wing, Tom yum soup, Panang curry, green curry, and pad Thai. We found the food to be generally decent, but lacking a 'wow factor.' The Tom yum soup was OK, with nice hints of lemongrass and ginger, but tasted a tad dilute. The green and red curries were decent, and had a pleasant balance of flavour and heat. That said, we also found the curries to be slightly bland. It could have done with a bit more robustness in flavour. The pad Thai was the best dish of the day. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and was on the whole very flavourful. As for portions, we found it a little small. But for £9 in a King's Cross location, it's hard to fault. Service wise, the owners/staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. It made dining there all the more enjoyable. On the whole, I would give it 3.5 stars but since Google does not allow half stars, I will err on the side of generosity by rating it 4/5
