My husband and I went to the restaurant solely based on the recent reviews on TA. We were amazed that the restaurant was completely empty at 7:30 pm on a Saturday. I have no idea why that was and it was most unfortunate as meant...the place had no atmosphere and we felt like we were sitting in a fish bowl. Tho it advertised live music there was not any. We still felt we were going to be in for a real treat but food and service were both far short of expectations. My husband ordered the lobster curry (almost $50) and I ordered a Thai tofu/vegetable specialty of the house. My food came warm, not hot and did not have any of the wonderful flavors so typical of Thai food. We finished the meal with Sticky mango rice which I will say, was good. Service was really disappointing especially given that there were 4 waiters and only one table occupied! We had to ask them to remove the refreshing face towels that had sat - used - in front of us for 10 mins. A waiter had even come over to serve drinks and made no attempt to remove the towels. We finished the drinks half way thorugh the food and no one asked us if we wanted anything more. After the bill came, the waiter stood literally staring at my husband as he signed and did not add an additional amount for service (over 10% already added). While I see that the majority of reviews found this place to be amazing, this was not our experience and wouldn't recommend or return.More

I took our whole group from the USA (12 of us) to one of my favorites, the Mahanaga. This place is super!!! There is plenty of room indoors or outdoors. The ambiance is great and the food and servers are the very best!!! This place...is right off Sukhumvit road and is centrally located in Sukhumvit. I have eaten here every single trip I have made to Bangkok and this place did not disappoint at all!!!!!!! Make this a destination on your next trip to Bangkok.More

After our previous dinner we went back and this time we sat inside because it was raining. The setting is very romantic and the staff is highly professional. My wife and I tried two of the "chef's specialities" and both of the dishes were very...tasty. Also the desert with baked banana and icecream was very good. After our dinner they ordered a taxi for us and one of them accompanied us to where the taxi was standing. We had a great evening, thank you MahaNaga, thumbs up and please keep up the excellent work!More

Went there with a large group of business partners and we all enjoyed our dinner. Food was fresh and tasty and service was friendly and attentive. Restaurant has a nice patio to sit outside but also offers inside seating.

We've only tried one appetizer and one main dish sofar but we'll definitively come back for more. The setting is romantic (however mind the mosquitos), the service is very good and fast, the place is quiet but still at walking distance from BTS and the...food is a like a real taste sensation, wow! Finally a place where higher prices result in higher quality food. It's the perfect place for a romantic evening.More

I should have written this review a while ago. I always come to Mahanaga every time I visit Thailand which is about once a year. Its a hidden treasure in the middle of Sukhumvit area, great drinks with a gorgeous outdoor courtyard. Large parking space,...they even have a great blues band when its not monsoon season. Once I came with some American friends and they proclaim the curry lobster the best lobster they've ever had. When we inquired about the dish we were told that the lobster was flown in fresh that morning from Maine. Its the curry and the freshest lobster that made that dish so special. I highly recommendMore

Ate outside in beautiful courtyard. Had two kinds of snow fish. One in green curry and one in turmeric sauce with spice green bean salad on the side. Also Fresh mango and sticky rice for dessert. Delicious !

I took my boyfriend here for our 5th anniversary. I was not dissapointed at all except for the homophobe on the table next to us. Once that smeg left it was beautiful. we enjoyed a delicious Phad Thai and an ice cream sandwich. Afterward the...evening became more erotic. The belly dancers came out and seeing as my boyfriend is bi-sexual he was turned on. I slapped him to get his attention back to me. After paying a cheap as price for a MEGA MEAL we went back to our hotel and banged koks.More

The Mahanaga is one of the coolest places…. It’s huge!!!!!!! Indoor and outdoor eating…. But…… it has NEVER been crowded with people??? I don’t get it…. The food is super and so is the service and the ambiance and décor are out of this world!!!...as...with most Thail restaurants, they serve their red wines on the cool side…. But the food is next to none….. I could eat here every single night!!!!!! The menu is huge and it’s conveniently located in Sukhumvit near the overhead trains…. Try this place!!!! I promise it will be worth it!!!!!More

Visited as part of a group and enjoyed a delicious Thai banquet. The food was flavourful and presented beautifully. We had a very large group and the staff were so quick to serve all and kept the food and drink flowing. Tried lots of dishes...and would recommend all of them, particularly the Yom Som O Goong Sod and the Goong Kua Prik Haeng. Great setting too, just off the Soi Sukhumvit but with a beautiful courtyard and really quiet.More

Our experience was very similar to that of your correspondent from Cowes. The food was served intermittently which meant some people had finished before our main course came. It was interesting nevertheless to while away the time watching the cats wandering unheeded and unchecked around...the restaurant and listening to the trains rattling overhead nearby while we waited. My wife’s fish was cold. They had clearly forgotten and left it. We complained. Fawning apologies were followed by... nothing. No offer to replace etc. One of our friends ordered a steak. The waiter said it came with steamed rice. It didn’t - that would be extra (on top of 1,000 Bahts for his steak). By all means visit this restaurant if you you want a similar experience. If not you have been warned.More

Booked this for a special treat for our last night on holiday. Despite an email confirmation 3 days before had no record when we arrived. Eventually found us a table, the service all evening was dreadful, food arrived erratically was mostly cold and inedible. This...is a very expensive restaurant I tried to pay the bill less the 10% service charge and was met with hostility by the manager a most dreadful woman who threatened to call the police. There are many far better restaurants in Bangkok. Avoid this one.More
