Duhhhhhhhhlicious 🤤 we ordered the mussaman and I can absolutely see how they got #1 curry in the world in 2021. Service was impeccable. Le slushie was so refreshing. First time we have ever been offered S, M, L sizes in Thailand which is wonderful for sharing. The Smalls are not small. Pic attached is small. Everyone enjoyed the rage of dishes ordered. 💯 would go back! Excellent restaurant - enjoyed the food so much we went back for a second time! The beef massaman was delicious! It’s understandably very popular so do be prepared to wait for a table, and I’d recommend checking the opening times too (we found it was closed on Saturday evening which seemed odd). The food is absolutely great though - highly recommended! 10 minute wait for seats and a 30 minute wait for food but it was entirely worth it. Dishes full of flavour and one of the best meals we have had in Thailand 🇹🇭
