β€œI recently dined at Narkara and had the best time! We ordered the Thai Coconut Crab Pancakes, the Salted Raw Crab Papaya Salad and the Seared Duck Dry Stir-Fry Curry. The food was absolutely delicious with every bite packed with flavor. The ambiance was cozy, stylish, and made the whole experience feel special. The service made the experience so much better. Every staff was welcoming, professional, and made sure we had a great time. Our server, Bryan, gave us great recommendations and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!”

β€œWent to this new Thai restaurant as a last minute choice and it did not disappoint. First the ambiance and service was great. Second the food are different from many Thai place. My favorite was the raw crab papaya salad and coconut curry pancakes. Best decision! Sea bass was nice and soft but a little too spicy for me. Desserts was super unique. Will come back to try other food!”

β€œI had an incredible experience at Narkara last night! I ordered the Spicy Raw Beef Tartare, the Crab Butter Custard with Uni and the Roast Sea Bass in Banana Leaf. Every dish was so flavorful, from savory to spicy. The ambiance was just as impressive with beautiful decor, perfect for a special night out. And the service? Absolutely top-notch. Our server, Bryan, and the other staffs went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. I can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back!”
