Supawan Thai Food

Head to King's Cross and you'll find Supawan tucked away on Caledonian Road, where they're not interested in playing it safe with their Thai food. This is the sort of place where locals actually eat—no Instagram theatrics, just honest cooking that tastes like it knows what it's doing. The curries pack genuine heat, the papaya salad arrives properly pounded, and the prices won't leave you wondering why you bothered going out. It's busy most nights, which tells you something.
