Bangkok 1 is now Ban Thai but the food remains the draw for this hidden gem. The food is prepared by a Thai chef and is as authentic as it gets.... every dish we tried was great... from exotic pork Phad Nam Prik to run of the mill som tam, red curry or phad thai every dish sings authentic Thai and it's delicious. The setting is quaint and one can let their hair down. The staff are knowledgable and very helpful.... all-in-all a great dining experience!!!
Having lived in south east Asia for a Long time, I know what authentic Thai food is! This place is a gem, the food is as close to authentic as you can get sitting in a small shack in Phuket or Krabi. They have toned down the Thai Chili padi for Indian taste buds, so if you like yours to be "chillied up", let them know when you place your order. The pad Thai was good but not great, the tom kha ga was as authentic as I have had in Thailand, the pork with black pepper was great (though it might not go down well with folks who don't like fish sauce). The highlight of the meal for us was the stir fry prawn in egg curry sauce. Now this is a dish one only gets to Savour in the streets of Thailand, traditionally served with crab. I have never come across any restaurants that serves the Thai egg curry dish in north india. Just for that and getting the Flavours right I give this restaurant a 5 point! The ambience looked cosy enough but we went there to get food picked up, so can't say much about the service.
I had briefly gone there once and though I didn't have any food, I promised myself that I will come back. So, me and family were there for dinner tonight and it didn't disappoint one bit. The chef from Thailand came out to explain what some of the dishes were and he made us a special starter sampler (which was not even in the menu). We ordered the dishes (a rice, a noodle and a pork) and all of them were really well prepared, with clear flavours and nice aftertaste. The service was good, though I think the girls there were relatively new and didn't know what some of the dishes were. Most of all, my 3 year old daughter really enjoyed the place and the company she got there. Definitely a place worth every rupee.
