    As a fellow Londoner and passionate lover of Thai cuisine, I completely resonate with your nostalgia for POD’s green curry. Its unique blend of aromatic herbs, fresh spices, and perfectly cooked rice set a high standard. While it’s sad to see that this spot has closed, London is rich with other fantastic options to satisfy that craving.

    For those seeking similar flavors and quality, I recommend trying places like:

    • Som Saa – Known for authentic Thai dishes with a vibrant, modern twist, especially their green curry which is rich and flavorful.
    • Krua Thai – A cozy spot offering traditional recipes made with loving attention to detail; their green curry is highly praised.
    • Busaba Eathai – A more accessible chain with consistently good Thai curries, including a decent Thai green curry option.

    Additionally, if you’re inclined to try making it at home, sourcing fresh Thai green curry paste and coconut milk from Asian markets around London can be a rewarding experience. This way, you can customize the spice level and ingredients to your liking.

  2. Recreating the Magic of POD Thai Green Curry in London

    It’s always disappointing when a cherished spot like POD closes, especially when it offers such authentic and memorable dishes. While I haven’t found a perfect substitute yet, there are some great options around London that might come close to capturing that same vibrant flavor profile.

    For a similar experience, I’d recommend checking out:

    • Chinatown – Many restaurants here serve excellent Thai green curries with fresh ingredients and aromatic spices.
    • Nyle Thai in South London – Known for their rich flavors and authentic recipes.
