Thai

Going back a few years you’d have found Naam consistently flagged as the best Thai in town. The crown was lost with the departure of their original chef, but that hasn’t stopped this remaining a staunch neighborhood mainstay. Positioned on the border of Saska K and Gocław, there’s no...

Gado Gado

Restaurants 21 July 2019 0

Previously known as Warung Jakarta, the menu here has a street food edge with secret magic recipes extending to Nasi Goreng and a lively chicken Rendeng. Accessible to all levels of income, it’s become one of the true unsung glories of ethnic Warsaw. Gado Gado ul. Piękna 28/34

Tran Tran

Restaurants 2 May 2019 0

It looks promising enough, with dark woods and images of paddy fields mixing with the reassuring clatter of an open kitchen, and so it proves with the arrival of the food: light but lively spring rolls; steaming bowls of pho; and thinly sliced strips of pretty pink beef. Then,...

Tastes of Thailand

Reviews 8 April 2019 0

San Thai says much for the renaissance of Próżna… You don’t need to go that far back in time to remember when Próżna looked like it was going to come tumbling down: flanked by disintegrating tenements precariously propped up by wooden scaffolds, it was the street that time forgot....

Bangkok Soi

Restaurants 3 April 2019 0

Without being privy to statistics, you’d hazard a guess this was the most blogged about restaurant of March 2019. Small and informal, the narrow choice makes it easy to sample everything within a couple of visits – and it’s likely you’ll return to do just that. Replicating the street...

Ukim

Restaurants 20 July 2018 0

Though not as high profile as Warsaw’s other gastro streets, Chłodna’s gradual resurgence has been no less spectacular. But fine dining and fancy wine bars aside, it’s actually the more standard venues that make the area feel so complete. Take Ukim, a cheerful joint decorated with steel Tolix chairs...

Notes: San Thai

Blog 26 May 2018 0

You don’t need to step too far back in time to remember when Próżna looked like it was going to come tumbling down: flanked by disintegrating tenements precariously propped up by wooden scaffolds, it was the street that time forgot. In many ways, its gentrification has been a little...

San Thai

Restaurants 27 January 2018 0

Informal, airy surrounds; fair price points; and a menu that covers enough bases while never becoming overwhelming. Though open for just a few months, so far San Thai have found themselves commended for their fiery recipes and diverse range of dishes. A half-decent wine selection adds to the impression...

Silk & Spicy Francuska 49

Restaurants 5 August 2017 0

Having achieved success on the left side of Warsaw, Silk & Spicy have crossed the Wisla to open a new venture on the fringe of Saka Kepa. Following precisely the same formula, anticipate a slick black / gold design and a menu that strives to represent Thai and Japanese...

Maharaja

Restaurants 19 March 2017 0

That’s progress for you: where once (a very long time ago), you’d have found Maharaja on the top floor of a decaying socialist block, today you’ll find it on the ground floor of one of Warsaw’s most prestigious residential projects. It’s shrunk in size considerably, and it looks more...
