About Nar Bangkok | Modern Thai

Nar Bangkok delivers punchy, authentic Thai cooking with brisk pace along St Kilda Road. The room is cozy and uncluttered, turning out plates like spicy Tom Yum, duck curry, and wok-tossed kana pork with steady kitchen speed. Midday diners stop in for value-driven lunch sets, while evening tables load up on roti bread, fresh coconut, and berry mojitos. Spice levels stay squarely in your hands thanks to dedicated condiment caddies on the tables. Finish the spread with sweet mango sticky rice or warm grilled banana folded into roti.

  • Custom tabletop spice caddies: Diners can calibrate their own heat at the table using dedicated spice caddies provided with the meal.
  • Fast-paced lunch service: Table orders arrive rapidly, making the venue a reliable midday stop for workday curry specials and quick noodle bowls.
  • Zero weekend surcharges: Weekend dining incurs no added percentage surcharges on food or drinks.
