Nari Reviews
Brilliant flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The gaeng bumbai aubergine has the the right amount of heat without being overpowering.
Croquettes - good
Branzino - quite good
Jowls - squid and pork themselves very good, rice a bit dry
Pork belly with rice - good

The flavors are powerful, and the spice is strong. The naem khan tod and the miang pla (fried branzino) were terrific, great starters. The stir-fried chicken (prik king gai) was also delicious. We also had two curried dishes (stuffed bell peppers and the fried eggplant) that were very good, but the curries were heavy and a bit too similar.
All in all, it was a very good meal! (Although the service is spotty).
