New Thai restaurant on SGR - Granary Thai Cafe

HolbornFox

@slats the Thai restaurant in Crouch End, been there years, nice summer rolls and (lately) German beer!

HolbornFox

Also the name of a cruisy nightclub in Soho!

@HolbornFox You've missed one!

I had a cracking chicken green curry from Rusty Bike cafe on Hornsey Road last week. It's in the site of the old jazz cafe, next to Tesco.

Not tried it yet!

I've seen a couple of them though, one in Crouch End as well, I wondered if it was authentic (well lets say brit-thentic)?

Rusty Bike is pretty damn good; we get takeaway from there every now and again. I'd venture to say that the pad thai is better than Granary's, but Granary's green curry just shades it. And Granary's tom kha, although a touch salty, is absolutely delicious.

I've never tried O's - is it nice?

They've got their alcohol license which is good for them but no BYOB after 31st March

HolbornFox

@vetski O's is lovely, they definitely went a bit mediocre a couple of years ago but of late it is excellent.

Whether people voted with their feet or the increased competition forced change i don't know.

I thought Dotori was better in the past to be honest* (not been in there since it reopened).

*Waiting for private message death threats now from the cult followers.

Another tasty dinner at the Granary this evening. We had the summer rolls, Panang chicken, duck curry (with lychees) and a bottle of Rioja; which was all really good value. Friendly service as always. Will be back again...

It's pretty cheap (and lovely) anyway!

It is a great addition to the street. Anyone tried out what used to the Farmers place?

I've had lunch there a couple of times - think they are calling themselves 'Cafe Mio'. Very tasty panini.

They sell tofu now as well which is good, and Chang is 4 for 3!

Another lovely family dinner at Granary Thai - Green Curry, Duck and Panang Prawns - all fantastic. Nice and warming in the cold weather!

Time fly's. Granary has been with us for two years.

Yep, never fails - relaxing quiet dinner here last night. Excellent chicken Green Curry, Pad Thais and couple of beers with the family. Friendly service as always.

The Tom Kha is amazing. As is the pumpkin curry. It's such a lovely place.
