Nara is one of the best Bangkok Thai restaurants for many reasons. I visited her Central Embassy branch. She was very contemporary grand at first sight. The decoration was in dark tone but very well lighted to be glamorous. The people (guests and waiters) looked very neat and decent. This matching “package” cheered me up. (I have no problem with tank tops and sandals, but there is always a higher possibility that they go together with mismatching customers for a nice restaurant as this one.)
Tables and chairs were of very friendly sizes that I was comfortably seated. I saw other big tables which were making very cozy family gatherings. The food was wonderful. I can still remember the smell and taste of her signature dishes. My most favourite ones are the curry crab and chicken wings. I would recommend the plain coconut rice, too. They have shown the unique magic of Thai herbs, seasoning and cooking. It was a pity that I was too full for her coconut ice cream which was also highly praised, but this will be my target for next time. Finally, the bill was very reasonable for a high quality meal in a nice place.

Read moreThe service has dropped significantly. I would say, their ervice has gone downhill
With the price of the food, I did not expect below-average service.
It used to have excellent service with very attentive staff, but not anymore. If you’re expecting somewhere nice, go somewhere else.
The price is over 1,000 baht per person, and drinking water is only free for the initial welcome drink. After that, refills are charged at 45 baht. We had already paid over 1,000 baht per person, yet still had to ask for water refills, they didn’t even offer when it was obvious our glasses were empty. I don’t mind paying the extra 45 baht, but the servers should at least ask if we want more when the water is less than half a glass.
To make matters worse, we waited over half an hour for our dessert, which is extremely odd and disappointing for a restaurant at this level.
The only positive was the quiet atmosphere, thanks to its location in...
