![]() ![]() For me, the sticky sweet and hot flavours of the beef won out, though I found it a little too hot for my wuss-level chilli tolerance – it’s given 2 chillis on the menu. I can see why these were so popular as street food – the flaky paratha is easy to wrap around the filling of ‘ajat slaw’ (ajat being a Thai cucumber pickle), fresh herbs and sauces and your chosen filling.īoth were delicious, with our table split on which ones we loved best. Having never made it to Brother Thai’s street food stall, of course we ordered their Sticky Spicy Beef Roti (£9) as well as the Thai Basil Chicken (£9). What I loved about this dish was how well it embodied that classic Thai balancing act between sweet, sour, salty, and hot and between soft and crunchy too.Ĭategorised as one chilli on the heat scale, this was still pretty hot but within my personal tolerance! The first dish to arrive was Crispy Mushroom Larb (£7.50), a fiery crispy salad that instantly transported us back to eating street food in Thailand. ![]() Be warned that these are made on the strong side – my Lychee Longtime (double gin, lychee liqueur, lemon) was powerful! So too was the Rum Aroi (double spiced rum, amaretto, lime). That said, it still took our table of four a fair old time to decide what to order. I love to see short menus like this it not only shows that a restaurant has real confidence in their handful of signature dishes, it also tells me that they aren’t buying in a huuuge long list of fresh ingredients (some of which could get a bit long in the tooth before being used, and some which might even be wasted). The drinks offering is similarly concise with a few beers, three cocktails, three wines (one red, one white and one sparkling), plus spirits, a few soft drinks and coffee. Starting out as a Thai street food vendor – and a very successful one at that – Brother Thai opened the doors of their first permanent restaurant in July 2021, and it’s been an instant hit with old and new fans alike ever since.ĭescribed as a Thai roti bar, the snappy menu includes their popular sticky beef roti (plus a handful of other filled rotis), a few rice bowls and plated dishes (three of each), and a couple of desserts.
