Sawadika Fine Thai Restaurant

Food was really tasty and served quickly even with an almost full restaurant. Ideal for a quick lunch with colleagues! Staff were friendly and happy to help.

The food here was excellent and it was a great place for a group of people to get together. It was also in a small street a little away from the crowds.

Amazing as always! Lovely service and tasty food for lunch

Always enjoy the food here but room for improvement in respect of service. Also, for some bizarre reason they do not do coffee! Wouldn't let that put you off though.

Although my meal was fine, two of my other guests thought that the food was very average. They would not want to go back again.

Food good service good had football on which was decent

Food and service were excellent. The only small problem was that our table was directly under the air-conditioning and so it was a little cold ( we mentioned this to our waiter and we moved tables, and then it was OK).

I went for dinner with my team at work (group of 8). Service was relatively quick although there was a long gap between our starters and mains. The food itself was ok overall, nothing stood out and the curries were very mild (despite having a 2 chilli rating). Overall, there are better Thai restaurants to go to than this.

The lunchtime express menu offers great value for money. The food is really nice and the portion size is just about right if you if you want to be in and out within 45 mins.

Service and food fine, environment nice...didn't feel authentically Thai and I thought it was very expensive, accepting that the food was very good... but as a regular Thai food eater I wouldn't go back at these prices.

I have now visited Sawadika three times and each time I have visited the food has been amazing. Would certainly recommend for an authentic Thai experience.

Sawadika is a great Thai restaurant that serves good food at reasonable prices. It has a lovely atmosphere and attentive service. Would recommend the selection from their express lunch menu or a la carte for dinner.

Great meal - very tasty, would go back. Went for the express lunch which was quick and flavourful (soup and red Thai curry). Would recommend

Not the first time I've been to this restaurant, lovely food, staff and atmosphere. I especially love their spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce always a favourite starter!

Great lunch menu choices at very reasonable prices. Service always very efficient. Very popular place for lunch so either arrive early or make sure to book!

great restaurant with reasonable prices for the area. would definately recommend!

Great food, ideal location very close to the essentials. Service was good but not worth the 12.5% surcharge. . . . . . . .

The food is usually ok at this restaurant but the dish I ordered was very fatty and the waiter was advised of this. He simply told me that's how it is made and did not seem at all phased that I had not enjoyed my meal.

Great restaurant, even better food! Swadika is so on point with the food and service, they always make me feel so welcome! and the express menu is amazing!

I thought that the ambience was relaxing as soon as I stepped into the restaurant. My friend and I ordered the lunch set with her getting Pad Thai and Satay Chicken, while I got the Pad Suki Chicken with Tom Yum King Prawn. I also ordered Thai Iced Milk Tea. Everything was tasty, although the Tom Yum was a little too salty for my taste. The staff were attentive and it did not take long for them to serve our food.

good food and good service. decor was pleasant would defiantley recommend to those wanting to eat Pad Thai, portion size is just perfect not too big not too small.

This is a lovely restaurant, reasonably priced, however the red curry could have been a bit more spicy. I will definitely come here again soon.

Lovely food (just the right amount of spice, quantity and authentic) and lovely customer service; restaurant is peaceful and spacious. and lovely herbal rose tea.

Delicious food, helpful waiting service. Nice décor and good location Slightly larger portion of starter and mains would have been great. Having no change made it a bit awkward for us to split the bill evenly between us on my friend's birthday. I didn't want her to have to pay more. Minor things really, enjoy eating here.

Food was so lovely the tastes in my Pad Thai were great. Had the lunch time appetiser and main for £9.50 I think it was and the portion size was huge for the price! Filled me right up! Service was also good, polite waiters :) thanks!

The restaurant was easily located and very accessible in the heart of central London in holborn which is very good. The restaurant is very nice as well as the décor and the food was superb as well. My friend and I really enjoyed our food. However the only negative is that it would have been nice if we were told as soon as we sat down by the waiter that cash would be preferable as oppose to card as we were given our bill after we finish our dinner and the waiter inform us that we can save 10% if we pay cash or pay card with added 10% as well as compulsory gratitude. So we had to scrape our bags for change, luckily we have cash on us.

The food was wonderful and served quickly. We were notified there was a big group reservation so to order our food before the rush, which was very useful information

We went there for the first time. The service was very good, nice stuff, food was amazing! We ordered different meals and everyone was wxtrwmely satisfied

Great food and efficient friendly service; we always love eating at Sawadika. Today the group was 9 people, some of us regulars for others it was a new and very tasty experience.

Good food (varied menu options) / cocktails (lychee!) / service / ambience / vfm: comfortable seating at table, but male toilet in need of repair.

Excellent Customer Service Walked in 30min late Thought my reservation might be cancelled but they where very polite and the food was very very tasty Thank You a lot

Great place, great food, and great service! The cocktails are good, but could do with more alcohol. The food is unquestionable! Definitely going again! 😊

food was perfect, service was extremely prompt, meal was not at all rushed. Fantastic lunch, best I've had for quite a while, by far. Thank you :)

Very attentive staff without being intrusive. quality of the food was fantastic and very quick for a lunchtime service. We will certainly be going there again.

We visited on a week night. The restaurant was fairly busy (all front tables taken), so we were seated at the back. I was a little concerned that we may be forgotten about as we were around a corner, but the waiter kept looking to make sure we didn't need anything throughout our meal. The food was delicious (we chose the tofu Panang curry and Drunken Noodles for our mains - word of warning; the Drunken Noodles are VERY hot). Service was excellent, attentive but not over bearing and the waiter was very friendly and chatty. Prices seemed fairly reasonable for the centre of London. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and wouldn't hesitate to eat there again.

I think the food is nice but not as authentic as it can be. The restaurant is a nice and cosy but can get a bit loud (we visited at lunch)

Lovely food but very disappointing to be told on a Saturday night that they don't do cocktails because the barman wasn't in? Apart from that service and food was excellent

the food was excellent the service was good the decor very restful my only complaint was having to pay a £12. 60 service charge we always tip at restaurants for good service but I do resent being forced to

Excellent food. Very attentive and discreet service. A little light on atmosphere perhaps because it was Friday evening in a business district. Would definitely go there again.

Excellent food and excellent service. Very vibrant even on a Monday! The restaurant serves proper Thai food, which you cannot find much that you can compete with in London.

Very nice Thai food. I went for the classic pad Thai as I wanted comfort food that night. My friend had the green curry. We were both very happy with our meals. The most authentic I've tasted in London. I would definitely go back especially to try more of the menu. Highly recommend.

Sawadika is a beautiful restaurant offering delicious Thai food. Each dish had a lovely fresh flavour. The staff were very polite and not too over attentive. Lovely atmosphere and decor.

Fast, friendly service. Food piping hot and delicious. Lovely decor. Scrupulously clean. I would score it 10 if I could! Also, gluten-free choices. My favourite restaurant near to work.

Good location, the restaurant is very clean, the staff is welcoming, The food was OK but not exceptional, I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.

Nice staff and very good food and v reasonably priced at £9.50 for two courses that arrive together to be quick at lunchtime. Could eat that again now for dinner, lovely x

It was a lovely service however, it took a while for the lady to understand what we wanted and also took a while for our mains to come out following our starter. I understand that it was busy so just put it down to this.

The lunch menu here is great value with good food and generally very yummy - highly recommended. That is all there is to say !

Good food and good value, bit dark inside so wouldn't recommend for a sunny day but other than that would definitely go again! Beef curry was well cooked and yum.

Well, what a really disappointing evening! Whilst I accept that you are often taking a risk when dining in a middle of the road Central London restaurant, this was one risk too far. Whilst the food looked appetising, it was exceptionally bland and tasteless for Thai fayre. My colleague had a chicken dish that contained lumps of chicken that were akin to chewing rubber. I must have had the coconut rice substitute because I could taste no coconut. Yes, I know you can complain at the time but come on, I'm British! Service distinctly average and the fact that the place was half empty on a Saturday night should have set my alarm bells ringing! Pretty mediocre stuff sadly and nowhere near matches the positive experiences I have had in other 'regional' Thai restaurants in the UK.

We enjoyed the discreet and attentive service, even though one of us was late and we stayed a long time. The food was authentic, unlike some other places where everything tasted somewhat similar.
