Opening on
22 January, newcomer Benja will be housed in an opulently decked out
three-storey townhouse in Soho. The food promises to be a cut above
the average Thai: dishes include choo-chee curry with roasted duck
and grapes, grilled lamb wrapped in betel leaves and grilled prawns
in tamarind sauce. 17 Beak Street, W1. Tel: 020 7287 0555.
The people
behind modern Indian Mint Leaf are opening a second restaurant next
February in the City. They haven't yet fixed on a name for the new
establishment, but the food is expected to be similar to the
Haymarket original, though decor will be lighter in feel. Angel
Court, off Throgmorton Street, EC2.
