Busaba at the O2

Excellent meal with so many gluten free options. Often I have to pick between one or two dishes due to my allergy but Busaba had a lot of options. The decor and atmosphere are lovely and the service was quick, friendly and competent. Anastasia served us and was polite and double checked all of my order to ensure it was GF. Would highly recommend.

I visited Busaba almost two years ago and really enjoyed the Thai food then, which is why I decided to return in June 2025. Unfortunately, this time the flavours didn’t quite live up to the high expectations set by my previous visit. Another aspect worth mentioning is the seating arrangement—due to limited space, Busaba offers shared tables with other diners. Personally, I found this a bit awkward and uncomfortable, as it took away from the relaxed dining experience I was hoping for.

I ate here on a Wednesday evening. Service was warm, friendly and efficient, well done to our waitress Steena, and she explained that the food all comes out whenever it’s ready. Had the calamari which was delicious. Sweet honey flavours which light up the mouth. Then had a mango chicken dish. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the slightly spicy juices from the plate gave the rice flavour. Also had a katsu curry which was delicious too. Really liked the place and would definitely go back.
