KraPow

KraPow is a Thai restaurant on Chatsworth Road in Lower Clapton that has built a devoted following through its journey from roadside street food vendor to settled neighbourhood restaurant -- a success story that reflects the hard work and authenticity of the team behind it. Named after the Thai dish krapow (minced meat or seafood stir-fried with holy basil, a quintessential Thai street food), the restaurant brings intense, fiery Northern Thai flavours to Chatsworth Road that go well beyond the commonly known Thai cuisine most Londoners encounter.

The menu highlights the fiery, aromatic character of Northern Thai cooking, showcasing dishes rarely seen in London. A genuine Thai restaurant for those who want real heat and authentic flavours rather than a Westernised approximation. Open daily. Recommended by Better Cities Travel in their Clapton insider guide.
