A Thai Culinary Gem in the Heart of London!
I recently discovered this Thai haven called Sawadika right in the bustling streets of London, and oh boy, it was a delightful experience! Walking into Sawadika was like being transported to a cozy alley in Bangkok, thanks to its authentic Thai decor and warm ambiance.
Now, let's talk food - it was a taste bud explosion! The Thai Pineapple Fried Rice was the perfect blend of sweet and savory, while the Thai Green Papaya Salad had a kick that left me craving for more. The Tom Kha soup was a comforting blend of coconut milk richness, a perfect remedy for the London chill.
But the star of the show? The Thai Chicken Claws! Soft, tender, and seasoned to perfection with Thai spices, they were an absolute delight. The Thai Stir-fried Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste had the perfect balance of salty and fresh. The Thai Baked Fish, Thai Teppanyaki Tamarind Prawns, and Thai Red Curry Cod were all exquisite, each dish was a journey through the vibrant flavors of Thailand.
The ambiance was cozy with friendly service that added to the warm Thai hospitality vibe. If you're in London and have a craving for some authentic Thai flavors, Sawadika is the place to be. Each dish was a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Thailand, and I can't wait to go back and try more from their menu. Sawadika is a true taste of Thailand right here in London!

Khao Pad Supparrod £18.95
I literally burst into tears at this price and serving size, no bragging, there are pictures. Enough for three people to eat, diced pineapple and shrimp, cashew nuts, meat floss is just too much, I just look for rice inside the dish every bite is not in vain, full of material, into the store not to order really will regret!!!!
Kor Moo Yang Thai Pork Neck £20.95
served on the iron plate, the aroma of fat is very good, the meat is very tender, we recommend dipping it in the sauce, sweet and sour!
Grilled Lamb Rack £28.95
Sour and spicy flavored grilled lamb! It was piping hot and grilled to a very tender and solid consistency, several large pieces in total.

This is my third time eating at Sawadika Thai Restaurant. They now have a new Vietnamese chef, so in addition to the original Thai dishes, they have added some Vietnamese styles.
Here are some recommended dishes with consistently good quality:
🥭
Three-color mango coconut sticky rice:
The sticky rice comes in three colors: blue - jasmine, green - pandan leaf, and white - original flavor. It's served with slightly salty coconut milk and deliciously ripe mango. It's so irresistible that I order this sticky rice every time I visit.
🍍
Pineapple fried rice:
Half of a pineapple filled to the brim with fried rice, mixed with various ingredients such as prawns and pineapple. Topped with meat floss, the fried rice is wonderfully fluffy and eating it brings a sense of happiness.
🦐
Thai-style sizzling tamarind prawns:
The prawns are huge, cut in half and cooked to curl due to their fresh and juicy texture. The tamarind sauce, made from tamarind, is tangy and sweet, perfect for whetting your appetite. Served on a sizzling hot plate, it creates a delightful sizzle when poured over the prawns and it's garnished with plenty of cashew nuts.
🐷
Belly pork steamed buns:
Soft and delicious lotus leaf buns paired with fatty yet non-greasy belly pork. This combination is simply irresistible - fragrant, tender, and steaming hot.
🥗
Vietnamese green papaya mango salad:
Shredded mango and green papaya mixed with crushed peanuts make this salad incredibly refreshing. The dressing is made with fish sauce, adding a sweet and savory flavor to the dish.
🔥
Thai-style roasted pork neck:
Also served on a hot plate, this dish exudes a delightful aroma from the Maillard reaction. The pork neck is juicy and tender, and it will be an instant hit on your plate.
🍆
Eggplant tofu:
Surprisingly, this vegetarian dish is even more delicious than some meat dishes. If you like eggplants, you must give it a try. The eggplant's skin is removed, resulting in a particularly enjoyable texture.
🧋
Thai milk tea is also exceptional - rich, fragrant, and perfect for cooling down spiciness.
🍧
Their desserts are all excellent. If you have a large group, I recommend trying a variety of them.
💷Average cost per person: £50
