Thiwanya (Holborn)

• Thiwanya (Holborn) is very close to my university and hence is a great place for the spicy lunch you always wish to have
• They have some basic dishes on their menu and my favourite is there black bean chicken on rice for about 5 pounds(small portion)
• The small portion is pretty substantial for a lunch meal but then again it always leaves room for some dessert
• My new work at the Soane Museum is literally around the corner from Thiwanya (Holborn)
• Especially when it is such a gloomy misery outside like it was today
• So though it is nearly summer
• Sour lemongrass soup with mushroom and coconut milk followed by aubergine &
• As service today was really really slow
• Though i must say to their excuse the cafe was totally packed
• Add overall the dish was quite greasy (especially compared with my typical afternoon bowl of salad)
• The main I ordered last time was even better
• It was tofu with thai basil
• Even if food was half the quality
• Their combination of spice and full bodied flavour is the best I have had
• While the classic red and green curries are my favourites
• All other items are also excellently prepared
• The portions are hearty and the flavours are fine
• The pad Thai was made with thinner glassier noodles but it was a good twist to the dish
• The ambience was perfect and the service was good
• It was my first time visiting Thiwanya and I was pleasantly surprised
• The restaurant is located just behind Holborn Station and conveniently near my uni
• The inside is quite small but they have pretty decor everywhere
• Thiwanya was open and a nice Thai curry was definitely enticing
• 2 courses that were ordered a la carte
• Beans stir fried in red curry paste with egg fried rice and jasmine rice on the side
• We managed to sample a good variety of food and it was all quite filling
• I'm surprised the average rating is not higher
• Thiwanya (Holborn) is delicious and if you make it before 7pm you can get a fantastic early bird offer
• That's the advantage of picking restaurants that are close to price sensitive students
