Nahm at The Halkin (The Halkin, 5 Halkin Street, London, London, SW1X 7DJ) We'd heard fantastic reviews of the restaurant. However, we were thoroughly disappointed. The waitresses, although pleasant, didn't assist you in understanding and choosing from the menu. We ordered from the taster menu. The canapes were great (enjoy these!) and the noodle starter was nice. However, the soup course after that was explosively hot. We were not warned by the staff. After this our mouths were too numb to attempt to enjoy any courses thereafter. The pork dish was fatty. The chicken curry was again ridiculously hot. Even the rice was completely stuck together. When it became apparent that we weren't enjoying our meal, the staff enquired if everything was ‘alright’. When we explained our disappoint we were asked ‘have you actually ever been to Thailand? Because this is actually quite mild thai food.’ We have been to Thailand. We love Thai food. We hated Nahm. The senior management were condescending and the food was more than disappointing. Pudding, what can only be described as congealed coconut milk, was appalling. We went home hungry with a bill of £230. I would definitely NOT recommend this restaurant.
