MUSLIM RESTAURANT$

Plant
yourself in any wooden booth of this ancient eatery for a glimpse into what restaurants in
Bangkok used to be like. The menu, much like the interior design, doesn't appear to have
changed much in the restaurant's 70-year history, and the biryanis, curries and samosas are
more Indian-influenced than Thai.

NAAZ$
(24/9 Soi 45, Th Charoen Krung; mains 35-90B; 8.30am-10pm Mon-Sat; Tha Oriental)
Hidden in a non-
descript alleyway is Naaz (pronounced 'Nát'), a tiny shophouse restaurant serving some of
the city's richest
kôw mòk gài
(chicken biryani). Various daily specials include chicken
masala and mutton korma, but we're most curious to visit on Thursday when the restaurant
serves something called Karai Ghost.

418 Th Surawong; mains 160-380B; 11am-11pm; ; Tha Oriental)
Des-
pite the fast-food connotations in the name, this long-standing restaurant is classy and pop-
ular with visiting business people. The emphasis is on northern Indian cuisine, including
excellent flatbreads, tandoor-baked meats and homemade paneer in a tomato and onion
curry.

Located in a former warehouse in a seem-
ingly hidden compound by the river, the cheesy name doesn't do justice to this surprisingly
sophisticated Thai restaurant. Join Bangkok's beautiful and edgy crowd for antiquated Thai
