http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22369.htm Nahm Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating Being fans of Thai food, we went to Nahm last Friday for lunch to have a 'special' experience. Our first surprise was that the restaurant was virtually empty the whole time we were there (four other tables were occupied at the 'peak' time) which contributed to the lack of atmosphere. The style of lunch would have been a surprise but I'd ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm I am amazed at the variety of comments about the food at Nahm. What most of the 'reviewers' are really saying is that they do not understand Thai food and how to order/eat it. Unless you are having a Pad Thai, etc. for lunch alone you do not order individual dishes. You are supposed to order a range of dishes [all served at the same time], ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm I would just like to say that it is most unfortunate that many people on this particular site have not had a great experience of Nahm. Against the grain I would like to submit this review of an extremely enjoyable experience myself and my partner had there. My partner and I went there for Valentines Day last year and enjoyed a spectacular ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm Nice atmosphere. The food is good, but not real Thai. Pitty ! Ovedrpriced as well ! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm Yet another review from a very disappointed Aussie. First impressions, not so good. I couldn't understand the towering height of the reception/podium. The waitresses had to peer around the obstacle just to greet guests, ridiculous! Anyway, that's not so important. It's the food and the service that matters. The waiting staff didn't seem to ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm Another slightly disppointed Aussie. The food was good, but not really much better than you would expect from any self-respecting suburban Thai restaurant in Sydney - which is ridiculous at these prices. We had the tasting menu - the main parts of which were a langoustine salad, a southern pork curry and a coconut-braised mackerel. The most ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm Another disappointed Australian, his main restaurant in Sydney, Darley St Thai, was absolutely fantastic with a funky interior. This restaurant is, as other posters mention, a little sterile. The waitress tried to get us to order the overpriced tasting menu, we went for the cheaper a la carte. The food was all very good, but disappointing ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm Curry is curry which is basically a spicy stew which is, in my opinion one of the most basic albeit satisfying gastronomic offerings. Posh curry is posh curry but it's still curry. I thought the food and interiors at Nahm were rather nice, but just that. Maybe it's just my unaccustomed palate, but the delicacy of lobster was completely lost ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm I thought overall the food wasn't quite as bad as recent reviews had made out but I'm still surprised Nahm has one Michelin star. We had the £40 arharn set menu with free glass of champagne. Starter (more of an amuse bouche) of mandarin and pineapple with a prawn chilli paste was promising. Main dishes of pork with peppercorns and thai ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm A complete disaster, typical overpriced London ripoff. Slow service, tiny portions, the Sea Bass has so much salt it could be from the Dead Sea, other dishes mediocre as best with the exeception of the duck salad. Then they topped it off by charging me for a glass of wine I didnt order and a keystone cops routine trying to find our coats. AVOID! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/94.htm
