Nahm review by Anon
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 already checked it out as it seemed odd for Thai food: entree, main course and desert 'Western style' instead of the usual Thai and East Asian shared plates. This seemed to be a bit of a mistake (partly the reason for the empty restaurant?) as it meant that most people, including my husband and I, switched our plates half-way through - not a very dignified way to eat.
The food was so-so -- my entree (a mixture of tasty morsels in two small palm leaves) was tasty; my husband's chive cakes (chopped up chives in a 'doughy' covering) were fairly tasteless. My husbands main course (stir-fried prawn in curry spies with coconuty rice and salad - all on one plate) was tasty, but my crab fried rice was very bland: basically a place of fried rice with hard-to-find slivers of crab (though there was also a bowl of tasty duck soup). We had a fruit dessert which was very pleasant - we weren't given a dessert menu and couldn't quite work out what the other quickly mumbled dishes were.
Not quite your average Thai restaurant - either in the variety of interesting food or the price (the fixed price lunch of £26 added up to £100+ for two which included a half-bottle - I don't drink alcohol - of very expensive white wine, water and coffee). A pleasant - though far from memorable - experience. And where was everybody?
