Kiln (Soho)

• The bar stools are well padded and the interior as a whole manages to escape the somewhat grungy feel of The Smoking Goat
• After hearing this was related to the Smoking Goat I wasn't really looking forward to going
• I needn't have worried as it was completely different in both atmosphere and food flavourings
• The menu is short and diners are encouraged to order about 3 dishes each
• The first and only other time I tried was a Saturday night with a 2 hour wait
• I was surprised to find that Friday early evening was only 30mins quoted (actually about 50 in the end)
• Maybe the summer and daylight means noone is interested at 615pm
• It is a restaurant with fire at it&rsquo

• A meal here is not only an insight into the food of North Thailand
• It is a celebration of heat and the results it brings with control and skill
• We were early but our party wasn't complete so we were allowed in for a drink at the bar tables
