Busaba, the popular London Thai restaurant chain, is marking a significant milestone this year — its 25th birthday! To commemorate this remarkable journey, Busaba invites its guests to enjoy complimentary drinks during the birthday week (17th – 21st November), ensuring that this celebration is one you won’t want to miss.
First established in 1999 by the visionary Alan Yau at Wardour Street, Busaba quickly became synonymous with modern Thai dining. Yau, who also founded the acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants Hakkasan and Yauatcha, designed Busaba to evoke the spirit of Thailand, drawing inspiration from Buddhist values and cultural heritage.
Ambience is at the heart of every Busaba location. The restaurant’s ethos revolves around shared dining experiences, reflecting the communal style of eating found in Thailand. Dishes are crafted to be shared, bringing people together through the joy of food. Whether it’s the iconic Pad Thai, flavour-packed curries, or their renowned calamari, there’s something to please every palate. A significant portion of the menu caters to vegetarian diners, showcasing Busaba’s commitment to inclusivity.

Winston Matthews, the CEO of Busaba, expressed his pride in the restaurant’s journey: “We are really proud of our 25-year history and heritage. Busaba introduced Londoners to modern Thai dining – big sharing tables and choosing from an extensive menu of authentic Thai food. We look forward to seeing our loyal guests over our birthday week. And what better way to celebrate with us than with a free drink!”
The Busaba Philosophy
At Busaba, dining goes beyond just food; it’s a philosophy. The Thai saying Gan Gin Gan Yuu, meaning ‘as you eat, so you are,’ demonstrates the profound connection between food and identity. The choice of ingredients, preparation, and presentation reflect who we are. This mindset encourages diners to savor each moment and find joy in the culinary experience.
The guiding principle of Sookjai—which translates to ‘to enjoy’ and ‘happy heart’—is woven into the fabric of Busaba. Rooted in traditional Buddhist values, Sookjai encourages patrons to escape the chaos of daily life and embrace the art of living in the moment.
Cheers to 25 years!
