Check In Thai Cafe — Restaurant in London

Could well be the best classic Thai (read dishes for Brits) I've had in UK. Certainly in a different league to places like Rosa's which is average at best imo. The menu is also more adventurous than your classic high street Thai (but not as daring as places like smoking goat or kiln - so it's safe to take the fuss pots).
