Description
Jazz music and Indian food may not be a common match, but Jazz Mahal proves that the two can be heavenly together. Thawatchai “Kong” Champhio, the owner of Jazz Mahal explains, “Everything in the world can be mixed and matched. Jazz is a distinctive music and India is a country with a unique culinary culture. The mix makes a pleasant and unusual alternative to what’s out there.” Set in a two-story building, Jazz Mahal dazzles visitors with its sophisticated
décor. Sofas, curtains and chandeliers deliver a sense of multicolored exoticism. You can even dine outside by a lovely pond, but the air-con dining room with its high ceilings is just as nice.
The restaurant is not situated where most people flock for Indian chow (Sukhumvit). So Jazz Mahal serves Indian dishes that Thais are familiar with: samosas, chicken or lamb served crisp and stuffed with potatoes and peas or ground with spices (B80-160), and the inevitable tandoori (with chicken, prawn or lamb, B300-380). The recipes hail from Delhi and the northern part of India, and Kong guarantees that the food is as authentic as can be, with no compromising on the spices. Still, for less adventurous diners, there’s a small offering of Thai dishes. The Trio jazz band plays live 9-11pm, Thu-Sun. If you prefer to do the singing, head to the private karaoke room that seats 12.
