Mains were equally relishing chicken randang, stir fried vegetables, cottage cheese in basil sauce, chilly kai phad kaphrao, thai style steam cooked basa served along with a generous portion of jasmine rice was heavenly.
The Chefs served us dishes with right balance of flavors, perfect textures using authentic ingredients. Drinks were really creative with oriental influences. Ambiance is sure to wow and impress you. The Tasting session was fantastic with a contemporary twist we thoroughly enjoyed. Thai food festival ends on 31st March worth a visit.
