An exquisite place for a romantic dinner is the 'Rim Naam' at the Oberoi. The setting is perfect. The seating is outside by a pond and under huts that makes you feel very warm. Eastern cuisine lends itself to anything zen like and quiet, and this was one such.
The Oberoi drools of opulence on the outside and Rim Naam seemed like a sanctuary in the midst of it all! We were disappointed that they did not serve Singha, the quintessential Thai beer. Without letting this distract us too much, we jumped into the main course. The menu card looked very authentic with levels of spiciness elaborated with the count of chillies. M ordered a Pad Thai and I ordered a Veg. Red Curry for the main course. The Red Curry, though nice, tasted a little different from the ones that I have had in Thai restaurants in the Bay area. 'Pad Thai' tasted typically Thai and real good. It costed us close to Rs.1500 which includes beer, fruit juice, bottled water, the main course and a fruit salad!
Rim Naam did live up to Oberoi standards and is definitely worth a visit a second time!

hey vidhya.. if you want good thai that won't break your pockets go to shiok in indiranagar... the food is superb.... I promise you won't be disappointed!
Yes Jesssica I have tried Shiok too, but I found that more to Indian taste. But ya I do agree that the food is definitely nice and spicy for Indiana tongues.
