Erawan Thai Restaurant And Bar

This is probably one of the best Thai restaurants in the country! Besides the beautiful ambiance the staff are extremely friendly and understand the menu well. This place is a fine dining establishment which is great for business meetings or to visit with loved ones.<br/ <br/ There is a great variety of vegetarian items on their menu and there is something for everyone from starters to desserts. Their spring rolls and Har Gao (Dim sum) is so fresh and tasty and definitely recommended. Their Suki Num soup with tofu is a generous portion full of vegetables this is not something you will find at other establishments so it is well worth trying.<br/ <br/ For mains I would recommend one of their stir fries which are freshly prepared and best accompanied with steamed or egg fried rice (to soak up the juices) or egg fried noodles.<br/ <br/ I will definitely be back in the near future to try some sushi or other items that I love on their menu.

We chose this restaurant in anticipation of our Thailand trip to set the tone and get ourselves acquainted with some thai dishes. We were not disappointed.<br/ <br/ The first impression is the beautiful setting. A classy cosy establishment without the intense snobbery associated with bedfordview residents. Only criticism here is that some tables are a little too close to other tables. The menu is thoughtful and a breath of fresh air from the normal run of the mill menus. The wine list with the pairings is a thoughtful and useful guide for us occasional wine drinkers.<br/ <br/ We started with a not so thai but definitely asian dim sum selection all of which were delicious and packed with filling. Only wish we had 4 per portion instead of the usual 3 for the price.<br/ <br/ Our mains were definitely thai and very new to us. Delicious, fresh and tasty is how I can describe the food and I am going to be back to try a medium duck dish for certain. The desserts were unique and a perfect end to a wonderful night.<br/ <br/ All in all well worth the experience and the price tag. If you want an experience and so far the best thai food in Joburg this is it.

Erawan is such a delight. The elegant decor, with generous spacing between each table makes it a lovely place for a grown up moment. The presentation of the food is skillful and you can taste the pretty. Service is additionally attentive. Best Thai restaurant I've been to.

A true gem in bedfordview! If you love authentic Thai food then Erawan is definitely the place to go. The restaurant is decorated impeccably and the service is brilliant. We had the crispy duck and we were not disappointed, it was succulent and perfectly cooked. For dessert we had the fried bananas which were divine and decadent. A restaurant that must be tried!

Being a Vegetarian my review is limited to only veg dishes.<br Hot and Sour soup was not very great , it was with red curry sauce. The clear soup with glass noddles was nice.<br Veg Dimsum was good, so was spring roll.<br The Veg Noddles that we had , I think had the Oyster sauce Fish Sauce and had a pungent smell of the same, being vegetarian I did not like the same.<br Green Curry was actually good and fragrant, goes well with Jasmine Rice.<br Advise : if you can't handle spicy food order mild .<br We ordered hot and next dishes were all medium.<br Will go again to try rest if the veg fare. There are number of options.<br <br <br
