About

Kolae is a Southern Thai grill from the founders of Som Saa, set within a converted coach house at Borough Market. The kitchen specialises in kolae cooking — marinating proteins in coconut-based curry before grilling over open flames — with everything from curry pastes to coconut cream made fresh daily. Signature grilled mussel skewers with calamansi lime exemplify the meticulous sourcing of both British and Thai ingredients. Spread across three floors with exposed brick, counter seating and an open kitchen at street level, the space has the feel of a sophisticated neighbourhood restaurant rather than a destination. A Michelin Bib Gourmand holder and National Restaurant Awards Top 50 entry, Kolae delivers exceptional value for its calibre.
