Thai House

  • December 6, 2005

Thai House

Thai cuisine is probably my favourite food but so often Thai restaurants disappoint by delivering dishes that have been changed to meet local tastes or lack authenticity because some ingredients are not readily available. It was thus with some trepidation that I went with a small group to Thai House. I need not have worried.

Thai House produced some of the best Thai food I have had outside Thailand. It was authentic, tasty, and reasonably priced. I was so impressed that I returned on two further occasions while I was in Dhaka. The secret it seemed was the Thai chefs who had come straight from Bangkok and their ability to source all the correct ingredients for what they were cooking. On the three occasions I visited, I didn’t have anything that I didn’t enjoy. The tom yum soup, the various curries, the dom kar gai, the fried rice and so on were all delicious. I just cannot select a favourite.

Thai House has only a very small frontage to Gulshan Avenue but it makes an impression with its entrance. After passing through the doors, you walk down a laneway before finding the restaurant on your left. You initially enter a large room with minimal decoration and a small bar down one end and off this there are other rooms so it is not difficult finding a busy or quiet spot to suit your mood. I found the staff attentive and pleasant and most seemed to speak some English. The owner is always around and he is a very pleasant character. This is a big plus for any restaurant.

Few restaurants in Bangladesh serve alcohol. Thai House offers soft drinks and juices. The fresh mango juice is particularly good and is my recommendation. With some soup, steamed rice and a main meat dish, I could ask for nothing more. Delicious!
