Baan Thai Restaurant Durbarmarg

Delicious Authentic Thai food in Kathmandu. I loved the sea food dishes here. Despite serving authentic Thai food and located at most affluent area in city, the dishes are reasonably priced. I highly recommend it if you are looking for nice and cosy Thai places. *not a paid review*

Disaster. Titanic scale. Poor service with one clueless bored waiter serving all tables. Food arrived after 30 mins. Looks like they took time to defrost the snapper fish was like two months old from the cold store. Rest does not deserve a mention. Ruined a good occasion. Go at your own risk.

Located across from Bakes & Cakes at Durbar Marg, the restaurant is small but classy, whose sparse decoration and casual lighting put the emphasis on food rather than style. Upon arriving we opted for the floor seating area, which has ample cushioning and a nice view of the bustling King’s Way. The waiter promptly brought us refreshing moist towels, a custom I had noticed during my trip to Thailand last year, and one I think the rest of the world should adopt immediately. The menu is vast with brief descriptions. If you are not familiar with Thai food you may want to brush up on Google before visiting to avoid a long deliberation. This unpretentious place overlooking Durbar Marg is a good choice for authentic Thai food. Starters include squid salad and som tam thai (young papaya and dried shrimp salad), the curries are creamy and the tom kha ghai (chicken coconut milk soup) comes served in a hotpot big enough for two.

No supply of water in Toilets. Poor Ambience. Authentic feeling of Thai lost. One man army of waiter cashier running around. Kingsway outlet is big NO NO.

Good place - food, staff and prices made me happy. Thai flavours, had the Tom Kha Kai and chicken cashew, all was as expected, very tasty.

1st time dined, gave 4-star. 2nd time giving 2-star as 1st time they lied about their Chicken meat being Halal. But foods are really good.

Sometimes you have to go to Kathmandu to get great Thai food. This was a thoroughly enjoyable place.
