Nahm Talay — Restaurant in Ko Pha Ngan

Delicious Thai food & all-day breakfast – pure relaxation by the sea

The restaurant at Zama Beach Resort is an absolute highlight for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Thai flavors in a peaceful, beautifully designed beachfront setting.

The menu offers a wide variety of fresh, flavorful Thai dishes, with something for every taste – from light, refreshing options to more savory, satisfying meals. One of the best features is the all-day breakfast, available from 8 AM to 5 PM. Whether you’re starting your morning late or just looking for something nourishing and delicious during the day, the flexible breakfast hours and diverse menu make it easy to find just the right thing.

Every dish we tried was beautifully presented, full of vibrant flavor, and clearly made with care. We especially loved the fresh fruits, smoothies, and carefully seasoned warm dishes – everything tasted natural, balanced, and deeply satisfying.

The ambience is calm and welcoming, with tables near to the sea, a gentle breeze, and soft music in the background. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a quiet, relaxed meal in a truly tranquil setting.

The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. Always smiling, they go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and well cared for.

Whether you’re staying at the resort or just visiting the area, this restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended – a place to feel at ease and enjoy excellent Thai cuisine...

the restaurant is nicely located with sea view and has a visually pleasing, cozy set-up food taste good and they have a traditional Thai starter that I haven't seen anywhere else until now

prices are quite high (Tom kha 200(+) Bath). Don't get me wrong, if the taste, size and the way in which it is prepared corresponds to the higher price, I am more than happy to pay for that. But after a starter, the laab chicken, which was half the size of what I am used to from other Thai places around the island and Thailand for a higher price and, after directly telling the waiter that the portion was really.. minimal, hearing that it's always like that and same as in other restaurants, I am slightly disappointed. I thought, why not order some mango sticky rice to sooth the pain, but with getting only half a mango which I had to somehow get out of the outer skin without a spoon, and about to spoons of sticky rice and an average tasting sauce for on top, I can only once again say that:

tl;dr: Tastes average, portion sizes about half to 3/4 of the normal sizes from other restaurants but prices that are almost double.

I guess being attached to a premium resort makes up for that by guaranteeing for a constant customer stream but I unfortunately...

This is the restaurant within Zama Resort. Absolutely excellent, attentive service with smiles, yummy food and 'properly made' cocktails - the kind you'd expect at higher end bars. With happy hour from 5-7pm for a 40% discount it put them around 120-140 baht (same same most places but better quality imo). We enjoyed best massaman (vegetable+tofu) we've ever had here, multiple times. Ask for extra roti! Seriously joy inducing! The Penang was very good, as was the laab tofu. Despite vegetable/tofu options not being on the menu for all items, just ask if you want it - when we asked for vege option they even offered to add tofu at not extra charge 😊 If we weren't staying here, we'd come back just for the view, food and drink. The made-to-order breakfast was great too with lots of choice. The coconut shakes we had weren't amazing but overall, we still...
