This is our third visit to Farang, having Thai family we feel we understand a little about Thai food and the food here hits all the flavour notes that are important for Thais. I love the small menu and that it changes seasonally. Everyone enjoyed their food and when we asked if they could turn the music down, we’re all of a certain age and struggle with noise when trying to make conversation and they happily turned the music down to a perfect level for us. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food, ingredients and cooking is of a high standard and this is a wonderful neighbourhood destination.

• Gastro Pub • Loughton
Came after seeing their Sunday roast on socials and can say we were not disappointed. We had some items off their à la carte menu too and would definitely come back again for dinner. Their cocktails were good quality, definitely somewhere to come the girls. Service was good and everyone was so friendly, atmosphere was relaxed so I didn’t feel rushed to order and leave. Highly recommend!

Namak is an outstanding restaurant with quality service, top notch food and ambience, and a friendly and engaging manager who looks after his clients personally. It is great to have such a high quality restaurant locally. The pricing is extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for good quality Indian food!

Food delicious and so beautifully presented, and the service from the guy who looked after us was exceptional… and we did feel looked after and in a totally unobtrusive way (it was our first visit to Wahaca and essentially Mexican food so we needed help) We will certainly go back again.
