Thai wok, Indian tandoor and the day's Andaman catch — on the Lam Kaen road, Khao Lak. Open every day, 11:00 – 23:00.

Our Kitchens

Three cuisines,
cooked properly.

Most restaurants on this road pick one thing. Mali runs three kitchens side by side — a Thai wok line, an Indian tandoor, and a charcoal grill fed by the morning market. Nothing is a compromise dish.

01

The Thai wok

Curries pounded from fresh paste, pad thai to order, som tam with the heat you actually ask for.

02

The Indian tandoor

Biryani, tikka masala and naan straight off the clay oven — the dishes our guests come back for on night two.

03

The charcoal grill

Whole sea bass, river prawns and squid, chosen from the ice and grilled over coconut charcoal.
