Busaba, Westfield London

Busaba brings relaxed, communal Thai dining to Westfield — long shared tables, wood-panelled booths, and a menu built around sharing plates rather than individual courses. It’s an easy recommendation for groups who want something with a bit more spice and flavour than the usual shopping-centre options. The menu covers the Thai classics well — pad thai, curries, stir-fries — alongside a few less predictable dishes worth trying if you’re feeling adventurous. Portions are generous, and the sharing format works particularly well for larger groups staying at our 4-bedroom flat. It has a genuinely different atmosphere to most Westfield dining options — dimmer lighting, warmer wood tones, and a pace that encourages you to linger rather than eat and leave. That makes it a solid choice for a proper sit-down dinner rather than just a mid-shopping refuel. Weekday evenings are noticeably quieter than weekends; if you want a booth rather than a shared table, arriving before 7pm on a weekend is worth it.
