Saawaros' Thai Residency above The Albert Arms, SE1

 

Saawaros, run by Thai chef-founder Ice, is popping up Wednesdays to Sundays in the upstairs room at The Albert Arms, SE1, serving superior Thai food.  

Saawaros means 'passionfruit', and this is Ice's passion project, which he started while working as a chef at Fallow, and has now been successfully running since late 2025.


The menu offers a good mix of dishes, including Thai takes on oysters and wings, salads, and the most popular dish, a slow-cooked beef short rib curry, which is a work of art.

It's my favourite from all the ones I've visited regularly.  It is serving Wednesday to Sunday evening (plus Saturday lunch) in a small, smart dining above the pub; book your table now!

When - Wednesday to Sunday evenings, and Saturday lunchtime.

Where - Above The Albert Arms, 1 Gladstone St, Elephant and Castle, London SE1 6EY

Booking - Book by DM on Saawaros' Instagram account
