Nahm

A taste of Bangkok is brought to Georgian Belgravia at Nahm, a Thai restaurant located in the chic Halkin Hotel, a luxurious bolthole for the well-heeled. Based on traditional Thai recipes, the restaurant creates the Nahm Arharn banquet-style menu, an excellent way to sample this sophisticated and very often extraordinary cuisine - in the evening Nahm echoes with the appreciative sounds of diners enjoying the unforgettable flavours of what many consider the world's best Thai food. Slatted wooden panelling creates intimate spaces within a large, bright room, while gold and russet colours add to the minimalist furnishings. This unassuming décor allows the food to do the talking - backed up by assured and knowledgeable service with its emphasis on explaining how the menu works to create a Thai banquet. Tickle the palate with kanom krok bpuu (coconut cup cakes with a red curry of crab and Thai basil), then sample dishes such as lon dtow jiaw (yellow beans simmered in coconut cream with ginger and shallots served with star fruit and betel leaves) or geng prik thai sai neua gwarng (green peppercorn curry of venison with holy basil and kaffir lime leaves). If the prices leave you a little breathless, you can content yourself with the knowledge that it's cheaper than flying to Bangkok.
