Thai Taste is a Thai restaurant at 130 Cromwell Road in Kensington, close to Gloucester Road station. It has served the area for many years with a focus on genuine Thai recipes, quality ingredients and friendly service. The cooking is guided by the balance of spice, herbs, roots and leaves that gives Thai food its layered aroma and clear contrast between sweet, sour, salty and hot flavours.
Starters and salads introduce that balance through crisp textures, bright citrus and fresh herbs. Thai fish cakes, spring rolls and grilled pork can be paired with dipping sauces, while papaya salad brings chilli and sharp seasoning to the table. Soups such as tom yum draw depth from lemongrass, lime leaf and mushrooms, with river prawns available for a more substantial opening course.
House recommendations range from marinated sirloin with tamarind sauce to soft shell crab in a mild yellow curry. Roast duck is matched with tamarind, and grilled sea bass is scented with lemongrass and lime leaves. Green curry with grilled chicken, pad Thai, fried rice and sizzling meat or prawns show the kitchen moving confidently between curries, noodles, rice dishes and charcoal flavours.
Vegetable curries, stir fries and rice dishes give meat free diners a useful range of choices, while the team can advise on ingredients and levels of heat. Desserts and Thai drinks provide a cooling finish after the spices. Collection and delivery complement lunch and dinner service, and a private lounge below the main restaurant can accommodate celebrations, business meals and drinks receptions.
