We were delighted with the quality and authenticity of the green beef curry, and red duck curry - each cooked in clay pots over live coals. The papaya salad is a marvel. Doha is a place of culinary excellence - and it is wonderful when a restaurant exceeds one's expectations. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt for three days and the food, atmosphere and service were so good we ate here twice ! We vouch for the green curry, red curry and papaya salad - but other dishes may sometimes be disappointing if you have super high expectations.
We watched the papaya salad being made in a mortar and pestle - and the complex taste exceeded our expectations. It is recommended that each person order 3 dishes - but start with two - as this may suffice, depending what you order. Be sure to order the green curry and papaya salad. Steaming slightly glutinous rice is served steaming from baskets by smiling staff.
The staff is pleasant, and thoughtful. On one occasion I forgot my reading glasses and could not read the menu - like magic the staff brought a box of reading glasses in various prescriptions. On another occasion the staff brought us a complementary dish that will feature on the new menu !
This is a great Thai restaurant that serves authentic regional cuisine of NE Thailand. We plan to return again, and again.
