The Great THAI Restaurant ( Extension )

You're on Great Portland Street in Fitzrovia, a neighbourhood that's somehow stayed relatively unbothered by the relentless branding of central London. The Great Thai has been doing proper work here for years—the kind of place where regulars know exactly what they're ordering and the kitchen doesn't mess about with fusion nonsense. This isn't Instagram theatre; it's straightforward Thai food executed well, whether that's a fiery green curry that actually builds heat or pad thai that tastes like it should. The extension means they've actually got proper space now, which beats squeezing in elbow-to-elbow at peak times.
