This restaurant is quite fancy, with a nice atmosphere and good music. I noticed a lot of people were ordering cocktails, so I assume their drinks may be enjoyable. However, the food quality was not good at all. I ordered papaya salad and asked for less spicy, but it arrived extremely spicy to the point where I could barely eat it. The papaya didn’t taste fresh, and I only managed a couple of bites before stopping to avoid getting sick. Communication was also difficult, as the staff member helping me didn’t speak English. I also ordered a Thai tea, but it was very bitter and not enjoyable. I paid ฿270, and unfortunately, the food was not worth the price. The environment is nice, but the dishes I received were a major disappointment.

Used to be a nice place for paella, have been visiting this place to have a serving of their paella every time I visited Chatuchak. However, with my most recent visit, it was a great disappointment. The paella was served cold and unappetising to taste. We also ordered a mango sticky rice, which was just normal. The worst was the papaya salad - not just that it took more than twenty minutes to be served, our request to have the ordered cancelled after such a long wait was not heeded. Not the worst service but bad enough that I may reconsider coming back again for my next visit.
