Founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Sa-ard and Thanaporn Kriangsak, Talad Thai had one simple goal... To provide the local AsThai community with the same food, drinks and sweets they grew up with back in Thailand.
As the shop expanded to include cuisine from all areas of Asia, from Japan to spices from India, the ideal of the shop also evolved to serve authentic Asian food to the entire Asian community, and to introduce the food that they knew and loved from back home to every local from Putney.
In 2015, Talad Thai's ownership was passed down from parents to daughter, and underwent yet another evolution. The entire shop closed down for a major refurbishment which lasted close to a year to develop. The new and improved Talad Thai has a beautiful new rustic look, and now includes exciting additions of Coffee, Bubble Tea and homemade hot food to take away, and still somehow manages to keep the same huge variety of products from all over Asia that talad Thai was known and loved for.
