The Dining Out Group
Coordinated By Paul & Nop
The evening at Natwat Home Café was really pleasant. 15 people had reserved and one called in sick so there were 14 people. This was the largest group they’ve ever had and considering this was all new to them they did a good job. The food was very good although a bit slow but this was to be expected. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I, personally, love the place.

The Nimman eating scene is complete!
Ranggoli Indian cuisine
By Shana Kongmun
I love Indian food; I love a really garlicky naan bread, a creamy korma, spicy curries and fluffy biryanis. And now Nimmanhaemin finally has a good Indian restaurant, Ranggoli on Nimman soi 11 just opposite the popular Italian restaurant Why Not!
I went there for lunch shortly after they opened with a few friends and must say I left happy. I ordered the korma and it was rich and creamy as it should be, the garlic naan met even my high garlic requirements (no mean feat!) and my friend’s biryani was fluffy, each grain separated and very tasty. Indian rice is very different from Thai rice and it showed in the biryani. Another friend ordered the chicken karahi, we had a discussion over the name of course, since my friend is British.
He insisted it must be a typo and its Karachi but it was like that through the entire menu. I of course had to look this up when I got home and the charmingly affable owner Makki does, of course, have it right. Karahi is a Pakistani and Northern Indian dish named after the deep circular pot it is cooked in.
The food is Northern Indian and Pakistani, which, is again, my preference. I like spicy, creamy food and dishes filled with complex flavors. The restaurant is only recently opened so there were, as to be expected, a few teething problems with a waitress who seemed to speak noThai nor much English. But, we managed to communicate and the chef even came out to make sure we were getting what we wanted.
It’s a pleasant restaurant set in an old wooden house, you can sit outside or inside an air-conditioned room. The prices are quite reasonable, especially when compared to some other Indian restaurants in town. The garlic naan is 50 baht, dishes ranged from 150- around 300. They offer mutton, beef, chicken, prawns and of course vegetarian dishes. For those who may not be Indian food fans they also have a Thai, Chinese and Arabic menu. Ranggoli delivers as well, and for free. Certainly a bonus in my eyes as I often work late. Makki even laughed when my friend asked about late night delivery, stating we could call and order up until midnight for those who get hit by late night munchies.
Located on Nimmanhaemin soi 11 they are open daily from lunch until midnight! 0869466551
