Busaba Eathai

Widely regarded as one of Soho's more intriguing dining options - reflected in the always-lengthy queues to get in - Busaba offers a stark change of pace from the other Soho establishments. The dining room features a pronounced minimalist scheme, with dark wood paneling and benches, slatted blinds, and paper-shaded pendants. The menu features delicious fare for patrons-on-the-move, including noodle dishes, curries, rice entrees, pad thai, and delicacies like char-grilled swordfish. Seated together at big, sharing tables, you might find yourself striking up conversation with the stranger next to you. TUBE: Tottenham Court Road
