Thai Metro is a relaxed Thai restaurant at 38 Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia. The compact dining room is known for generous portions and a broad menu that works equally well for a quick lunch, a takeaway or an informal dinner. Traditional sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours run through dishes that can be adapted with chicken, pork, beef, duck, prawns, seafood or tofu.
Starters include chicken satay with peanut sauce, dumplings, crisp prawn wraps, fish cakes, duck spring rolls and tempura vegetables. Tom yum soup brings lemongrass, lime leaf and galangal together in a hot and sour broth, while tom kha adds coconut milk. Green papaya salad and spicy yum salads provide fresh, lively alternatives.
The grill prepares tamarind glazed duck or prawns, bavette steak with chilli and lime, garlic tiger prawns and a mixed plate of steak, duck and chicken. Wok dishes combine the chosen protein with cashew nuts, ginger, aubergine and basil, garlic and pepper or drunken bamboo shoots, allowing diners to select anything from gentle aromatic flavours to substantial chilli heat.
Green, red, Panang and massaman curries use coconut milk in different ways, while jungle curry offers a spicy version without it. Pad Thai, pad see ew, egg noodles and drunken noodles cover several textures, and the rice selection includes traditional, drunken, tom yum and pineapple fried rice. Sticky, coconut or steamed rice and seasonal vegetables complete the meal.
