Very tasty and fresh food. Salmon in my salad was grilled to perfection. They don't (yet) have menu in English, but the lady working in the front kitchen speaks good English and is very helpful. This is a Halal restaurant, so don't expect any beer or wine. Amazingly good price/quality ratio.

A simple, get one go for restaurant. Run by a solid family, great tasting food and a fraction of the cost of any of the ‘fancier’ restaurants. Write your order number down from the great menu both in English and Thai. Definitely recommended.
