Zaab Eli Everyday Silom Complex — Restaurant in Si Lom Subdistrict

Just had lunch at the outlet at Silom Complex. Perpetually crowded, worst around meal times, be it lunch or dinner even though this is "CBD" area.

They specialise in food flavors from Isan (north east Thailand) with lots of emphasis on salad (my fav is their strawberry mango salad). So even the locals can't seem to get enough!

Today, I ordered the sweet corn salad with salted egg which is the best version I had tried so far where u can taste the salted egg in the dressing as well. Others treat the salted egg like a garnish and so the dressing is not impressive.

Also had the hot and sour soup with different types of mushroom which is like clear tom yum soup with different varities of mushroom in it. Very authentic, sour and yummy. Very worth cos only 89baht!

We also ordered the tom yum goong fried noodles with prawns and it turns out to be so flavouful and yummy.

Zaab fried chicken wings were well prepared but they overused some spice (paprika) which did not go down well with a friend.

And of course, they also do a very nice iced thai milk tea with grass jelly.

But overall, the lunch was really yummy.

Highly...

Bustling, modern restaurant with delicious (Northern) Thai dishes at reasonable prices and quick, efficient service.

Wandering around deciding what to eat amongst Bangkok overwhelming food choices, this one was easy - it’s the busiest and patronized by locals. The menu features a lot of Northern Thai dishes. The food styling may not be an Instagram hit, but it is delicious with home-style flavour comfort.

Mango salad (89b) is tangy with an earthy, pungent shrimp paste (similar to "har gou") dressing and topped with crunchy fish (like huge deep fried anchovies). Papaya salad (125b) is refreshing. Grilled pork neck (120b) is tender with fragrant fried rice. Sirloin beef (270b) is tender and smoky with a lovely chili, soy based dip, and that pickled egg (taste like salted egg yolk) goes very well with the rice. Bamboo shoot soup (115b) with different types of mushroom is very satisfying. Chrysanthemum tea with jellies (49b) - cooling...

We decided to give a try but it was not worth of at all. Service needs to be improved 100% no one of the staff is upstairs, pretty much you are left on your own

We ordered whole Thai style chicken came out cold and precook and kept in fridge. They didn’t even warm enough to serve.

Spicy salmon is ok too much salted Phad thai so so Papaya salad very salty

We ordered salted grilled fish and nobody informed us that we have to wait 40 minutes They came dropped all the food on table. No table touch not even someone came and ask how everything was. We asked for our fish they said not ready yet after all our food finished. We asked for the bill and they brought the fish, raw inside not cooked at all. Sent it back to kitchen left the restaurant, they didn’t even dare of to come and say sorry or refund money, offered something else

Staff and kitchen has to be trained properly, no doubt why they were empty but we wanted to give a...
