Lombok Thai is a neighbourhood Thai restaurant at 17 Half Moon Lane in Herne Hill. The evening menu covers traditional starters, soups, noodles, curries, stir fries, seafood and salads, with dine in and takeaway service available throughout the week. Its broad selection works equally well for individual dishes or a table sharing several contrasting flavours.
Starters include vegetable and duck spring rolls, chicken or prawn satay, dim sum, fish cakes, prawn tempura, spare ribs, crisp squid and tofu. Tom yum soup balances lemongrass, galangal, lime leaves, chilli and lime juice, while coconut based tom kha adds ginger and coriander for a gentler but still aromatic opening.
Green, red, panang, massaman and jungle curries provide distinct combinations of chilli, coconut, herbs and spices. Pad Thai combines rice noodles, egg, peanuts and bean sprouts, while drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice and spicy jungle fried rice add further choices. Stir fries can be prepared with chilli and basil, black bean, ginger, garlic or oyster sauce.
Specialities include chilli cod, honey prawns, roast duck with pineapple, steamed sea bass with soy, ginger and spring onion, and a hotpot of jumbo prawns with clear noodles. Papaya salad, Thai beef salad and tofu glass noodle salad introduce fresh acidity. Meat free curries, tofu dishes and vegetable sides ensure vegetarian diners can assemble a varied meal.
