Banana Tree Windsor

You're walking along Thames Street towards the station and the smell hits you first—lemongrass, chilli, something being cooked with real intent. Inside, it's properly lively without being chaotic: wooden tables close enough that you're part of the energy, but not sat on top of strangers. The menu pulls from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, and they're not mucking about with fusion nonsense. Expect hand-rolled spring rolls, proper pad thai with actual char on the noodles, and curries that taste like someone actually cares about the spice balance. The cocktails are thoughtful rather than Instagram-baity, and the wine list knows what it's doing with Asian food.
