About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Aiming to be the most authentic restaurant of its kind, the Sawadika Fine Thai Restaurant, located in London’s Holborn area, close to both Lincolns’s and Gray’s Inns, serves excellent South East Asian food in a relaxed environment. Stunningly styled, the Sawadika dining room is well suited to special occasions and business dining as well as the more casual evening meal of lunchtime treat. With white washed brick, contemporary oblong chandeliers, shimmering tiles and Thai arts and crafts – including two huge golden Buddha statues welcoming guests as they arrive – the old-meets-new interior could be straight out of any high end Bangkok hotel. The extensive menus, including a full a la carte dinner menu and an affordable set lunch, offers a wide range of all-authentic Thai food made to traditional recipes passed down through families and freshly made to order using all fresh, natural ingredients.

    Mixed starter was very dry and lacked any flavour. The mains lacked flavour. I would not go back.

    It felt more of a lunch time place than evening dinner. The service wasn't great. At one point we were the only customers there, yet the food order didn't come out as requested. The restaurant lacked atmosphere. The quality of the food was below average. Don't think it was good value for money, and we were disappointed by the overall experience. The manager was polite and tried to be helpful.

    A group of friends giving a friend a send off who’s returning to Boston. First time for all of us. Delighted by the portions which were very generous and the staff were very warm and helpful. A night and venue which surpassed expectations! Thank you! Paula
