Busaba Covent Garden is a modern Thai restaurant at 44 Floral Street, hidden just moments from the Piazza and West End theatres. Long communal tables give the room a sociable rhythm and provide an informal setting for lunch, dinner or a meal before a performance.

The menu takes its inspiration from modern Bangkok eating and is designed around dishes that can be shared. Wok prepared snacks and salads bring crisp textures, herbs and citrus to the table before guests move into noodles, rice dishes and curries with deeper savoury and aromatic flavours.

Classic and spicy Pad Thai preparations sit alongside coconut curries, with Mussaman duck leg among the Covent Garden kitchen’s recommended dishes. Calamari, stir fried vegetables and a substantial plant based selection allow a group to combine meat, seafood and vegetable choices within the same meal.

Thai inspired cocktails, wine, beer and alcohol free drinks complement the menu, while desserts and choices for children make a complete meal straightforward. A private dining room, pre theatre options, reservations, collection and delivery give the Floral Street branch flexibility for different occasions.

Address: 44 Floral Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9DA, United Kingdom
