    Amazing hospitality, great recommendation from the menu by the manager. Chef definitely made sure that he lived up to the expectations and would score him 10/10 for the presentation and the taste. Surely a place to visit again and would recommend others as well.

    Well, unlike the other I can’t just give 5 stars because only they were welcoming. As always giving the honest review, the food was not as everyone experienced. The food quality was a bit wired despite the great look of it. Also we have asked for the chilli flex or anything like it, they said only chilli oil.

    Ordered from Deliveroo. Delivery was fine. I have ordered: 1 Chicken Pad Thai 1 Green Curry - Prawn Doesn’t nor taste like Thai food, it tastes like Indian food or whatever but the taste isn’t pleasant. I’m surprised because I have been to another location and I had no complaints but this one OMG isn’t nice at all. I’m actually upset because I was looking forward to have some fresh and tasty Thai meal and it left me disappointed. I also found that there’s way too much beansprouts in the pad Thai and the aubergine from green curry it’s raw! Restaurant needs to improve and make sure that staff knows what they are cooking because I know what Thai food tastes like! Portion size it’s normal. Package was fine but nothing provided such as napkins or cutlery.

    Wow! What an amazing meal. I'm vegan and they have an amazing vegan menu and everything I had was delicious - special shout for the sweetcorn soup which is INCREDIBLE. Our waiter, Sandy was also lovely and very attentive. We'll be back!

    The chicken Pad Thai is amazing as is the Thai Calamari. Always arrives within 25 minutes and is always hot. It's a shame they don't offer the duck Pad Thai anymore as that was my favourite.

    We had such an amazing time at Bow this afternoon for lunch! The food was beyond tasty and really friendly service. Can't recommend enough for vegans too!

    The food was really good but the restaurant was very cold. Asked the staff several times and they said heating was on but it didn't really help. I would probably go there during spring /summer

    There was a bug in my order for delivery. So gross………I couldn’t believe I met such disgusting problem. NOT RECOMMEND TO EAT HERE!!!!

    We have been eating at Baw for years and we have never been disappointed. The food is authentic, the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is relaxing. We have been served by Imran and Akshay for years. We would definitely recommend to others looking for a relaxing place that offers thai fusion along with a selection of asian foods.

    If you're after simple thoughtful dishes with just the right bit of oomph, congratulations you may have landed at the right pad. Without burning a hole in your pocket, keeping your mind at ease and letting you soak in all the goodness, that is. The perfectly cooked sea bass on a bed of light sauteed veggie goodness could just be the thing you need to feed the soul on a lazy early Saturday afternoon, with a bright citrussy papaya crunch on the side to wake up your senses. And if you wanted to indulge your taste buds that tiny bit more with some cheesy charry yum, what would you say to braving up to the Tandoori Flowers, even if veggies really aren't your thing normally? (You're welcome!) The relaxed but cosy ambience with bright island vibes probably helps to lift up the spirit too. Not to speak of the quirky art on the walls that might just keep you engaged while you're waiting hungrily, which to be honest doesn't appear to be long enough to cool the lava down. Sorry - no prizes if you guessed that we're going back soon to hunt for some more juicy grub.

    The food and service at this restaurant is amazing! Highly recommend the Butter Chicken and Basil Rice! We are from the US and were visiting London for the first time after spending 10 days in Italy- we went to Italy for the food ( obviously) but our 19yo son said this was the best food he had the whole trip! We ate here 2 times in the 4 day we were visiting. 5 stars!! Akshay was a great server- we had him both times, thank you!!

    Suuuuper tasty food! I highly recommend their curries. It's my local restaurant, so I order from there quite often. All the food is of high quality and very rich in flavor. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the staff is very friendly.

    Discovered this gem a little while ago and have now been several times with various family and friends. Such brilliant food and an incredibly warm atmosphere! Big fan of the extensive vegan menu!

    Ordered a takeaway through Deliveroo. It arrived quickly and tasted even better than expected. We have had food from there before, but this was way beyond that. Every dish was tasty and the portions were very generous. Highly recommend every dish and will definitely have their food again. Number one takeaway in the whole area.

    Lovely food & highly recommend!! Ordered Thai sea bass for my grandmother and pad Thai with calamari for myself which was very tasty and flavourful. Definitely order or visit this restaurant if in the area!

    My kids always order takeaway, More special is the gifts in the takeaway. This was my first time eating at the restaurant, small & friendly place. Amazing food, mock-tails and great ambiance. Also my Mother’s Day made special with lovely surprise gift. Thank you BAW

    Some of the best Thai food I have had in London! Generous portions and you can tell effort has gone into each dish. Really top quality stuff for reasonable prices. Couldn't recommend it more!

    We have gone here multiple times as a family and the Indian food is always at an amazing standard. The food isn’t oily , staff are helpful and polite especially our server Akshay. Would 100% recommend.
