Inspired by the culinary cultures of the coastal cities of India, renowned author and chef Hari Nayak has established Jhol in the heart of Bangkok to share with the city the beautiful tastes of his hometown. Being the first of its kind in the capital, this coastal Indian restaurant has quickly become a popular destination for curious foodies. Entering through a house on Sukhumvit 18, diners will be met with wooden framed glass doors that open up to a room of warm wooden floor and modern rounded arches. With the bar towards the left, we know to expect some impressive drinks.
Beginning with the drinks menu, the wine list is comprehensive. However, the mocktail list is also quite drawing with creations named after characters from the Ramayana. Kaurava, for example, is an exotic concoction of pineapple, passion fruit and vanilla lime, topped with an aromatic rose cloud.
