The Bear and I went out for the afternoon. We had a wander round the British Museum and generally basked in the sun, for fear of it being one of the only sunny days this summer. During this lovely afternoon it was necessary to fuel up, and we decided to take a wander down Goodge Street to see what we could find.
We walked past the Thai and Chinese buffet when we saw that they were serving up onion rings!! We didn't really fancy the Spaghetti House or Ping Pong, so we decided to take a turn down Charlotte Street and try our luck there.
Almost straight away we noticed Thai Metro. It looked alright, and it had a very cheap lunch menu of two courses for £7.95. Nice.
We were quickly sat at a small but smart table in a clean and bright restaurant, full of lunch time business people. The Express Lunch menu was fairly extensive for such a low price and there were veggie options for most of the curries - although no prawns.
The Bear went for the Dumplings to start, which were a bit on the small side, but serviceable. I went for the Tempura Vegetables, which were OK. The batter was a little soggy, they weren't served with the right dipping sauce, and there was no aubergine (my personal favourite).
For the main event I went for the Tofu Red Curry, which was packed with veg and was a good size. There could have been more chilli though. The Bear went for the Chicken Panang, which he wolfed down. Pretty much without breathing.
For two courses each and two green teas (which were topped up during the meal) the bill came to £19 including service. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, especially for an evening meal, but if you're hungry at lunch and in the area its a cheap and tasty way to go.
