Food

Naj serves stylish Thai cuisine adapted for foreign tastes, but not to the extent that it loses its essential qualities. A selection of starters includes toong tong (money bags), mee krob (crispy noodles) and satay (chicken skewers); the nibbles pack enough flavour to stimulate the appetite, without numbing the taste buds. Tod mun (fish patties) is juicy under a crispy coating, and tangy yum som-o (pomelo salad) comes with fat, moreish prawns. Massaman curry is a comforting main course, with hefty chunks of chicken and potato in lip-smacking gravy. Sea bass in chilli and lime has a good balance of spices, but the fish is perhaps a little overcooked. A mixture of seafood in black pepper offers an invigorating alternative. A fairly standard array of Thai desserts includes mango with sticky rice and a tasty wedge of pumpkin stuffed with custard.

Setting

An elegant, three-storey Rama V-era house with interesting Thai art and carvings, plus an attractive paved terrace.
