Busaba Eathai, 22 Store Street

O.K so this is not the usual warm and neighborly Thai restaurant. It's flat TV screen outside should have tipped you off. The interior is a collection of common tables in the middle of the room, with beautiful collections of Buddha statues around the restaurant. Busaba Eathai is an excellent place for noodles and stir-fry. Try the Fried Chicken, though it make not sound like much, the sauce is tangy and extremely delightful. Or you can always go for the quintessential Pad Thai. The food here makes up for the lack of warmth in the interiors. If your in the mood to skip the alcoholic drinks for the night, why not go for the mango lassi. Yes, I know in a city filled with wannabe Indian restaurants, why would you get Lassi at a Thai restaurant? I actually found the Restaurant's version of mango, yogurt and "rose water", to be refreshingly different.
Busaba Eathai is trendy, serves great food, but just do not expect to be chilling her for a long time. This is is not the best place to indulge in long conversations.
