Sukawatee at St Albans

You'll find yourself on Market Place, that proper bustling bit of town where things actually happen, pushing through the door into something that doesn't mess about with fusion nonsense. The kitchen here takes Thai food seriously—the kind of seriously where they're not trying to soften the edges for nervous palates. Order the green curry if you want your sinuses cleared and your evening genuinely improved. The room's unpretentious, the service is genuinely warm rather than performative, and you'll leave without spending a fortune or feeling like you've been ripped off.
