Halal Reviews for Busaba Soho

If you like Thai food, come here! I have been here many times before, the menu is great and so much variety, the food is excellent. I like the sexy dimly lit setting and shared tables, it didn’t feel too loud and we could hear each other, there was 3 of us and we sat next to each other.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a really pleasant experience. The booking process was straightforward, and when we arrived, the atmosphere was lovely. The team was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The food itself was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed every bite. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d happily recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed the dishes and can’t wait to revisit. Wait staff were really helpful and gave good recommendations (it was my first time but my friend has been many times). Duck and calamari are musts!! Only 4 stars for atmosphere because the tables are shared and I’m miserable like like lol.

Had a very unfortunate experience with the service staff. We were seated immediately but from there it was nearly impossible to flag anyone to order, we were ignored often. After finally placing our order, we watched our waiter stand around confused while holding our food, we got his attention and told him he was holding our order but he told us we were wrong and gave our order to another group. We were ignored again by waitstaff when we tried to flag them down to correct the issue, staff were only made aware of it when the other groups actual food order came to the table. From there the manager took over and was wonderful, he was so kind and apologetic, got us our food quickly. We were given a complementary dish and a free top up of our drinks. The other staff were also apologetic as we left. Food was very good, we did enjoy the dishes we had quite a lot - the only issue we had was that the Satay Chicken wasn't very 'peanutty' but other than that the portion sizes were great and it tasted good. I would definitely like to come back another time and give it another go, I love the layout of the restaurant especially. It has large communal tables and a really nice ambiance.

Disappointing. Will never return. The server was so rude and pushy trying to make us make our orders within 5 minutes of sitting down in a group of 5. Then when he came back to take orders when we were ready, he kept looking around the room and not making eye contact, some of us had to repeat saying our order twice so he could hear because he wasnt paying attention. Anytime he couldnt catch what we were saying, he raised his voice making us repeat again and again. Extremely abrasive. However he didnt give the same energy to the middle aged white men group sitting near us - i wonder why? The restaurant was extremely loud and crowded and chaotic, it felt more like a wet market than a restaurant. The food was subpar at best and very expensive for the quality and taste. Service was horrible. Servers were rude and unhappy and snappy. Our friend accidentally knocked over her water. We tried to clean it up but then ran out of tissue. Nobody bothered to help us clean it up - we left the restaurant and the puddle on the table was still there. The highlight of the night was when we stood up and left.
