"Kolae is a southern Thai restaurant in Borough Market that's best enjoyed at the counter. Every so often, a whoosh of jagged flames shoots up from the wok in the open kitchen, diners squeal, and the chef expertly manoeuvres his wrist. The Soho House-lite space feels like somewhere that’s trying to appeal to everyone, but Kolae’s menu—lively curries, herbaceous kale fritters, sticky pandan rice, zippy £5 mini martinis—is where it shows real personality." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
