Casual Thai eatery with group tables and benches

Busaba Bloomsbury

Made a booking for 2 on a Thursday evening but called up to let them know I was running late and they said it was fine. When we turned up there was plenty of space and were seated immediately. Great service, very patient when I couldn’t make my mind up on which to choose, they willingly offered suggestions and recommended popular dishes. It got busier during the evening but despite being sat at a large table for 8 we had the table to ourselves all evening and weren’t pushed to leave after finishing. Tasty hot food, nice smoky flavour you get from a wok, a delicious creamy mango lassi, only thing I’d comment on is the pricing and the saltiness of the dishes. Would return here again and perhaps order less food, we were probably a bit ambitious with our appetites!

Great food and restaurant atmosphere. The staff was very kind and friendly, and our group had a wonderful time dining here. The only thing that I could note of was that one of the stalls in the ladies room didn't have any lights in them. Might have just been temporary, otherwise, would highly recommend!

Delicious, flavoursome food, generous portions. Accommodated 8 of us at the last minute, with one dinner requiring gluten-free options. Friendly and attentive service. Everyone enjoyed their dishes.

The service here was amazing, and the food served is great. Everything comes out quickly and is tasty. There is a decent selection of vegetarian options.
Bonus - they offer student discount! However, keep in mind that it was really noisy and the tables are shared, so maybe not great for dates or long dinners.

We were exceptionally pleased with our meal. I ordered the King chili Prawns with a side of Jasmine rice. The spice and flavor levels were great.The vegetables were crispy and fresh with prawns cooked to perfection.
My husband ordered the Crispy duck noodles and did nothing but rave about them while consuming every available bite.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is comfortable yet stylish.  There is a private dining space downstairs that would be perfect for a family or work event.

Most of our chicken dishes are halal! Just check with the manager on duty to find out which ones.
