About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Innovative
  • Vegetarian-friendly
Nahling means 'Monkey Face'. This is a common term used for cheeky children that lived in the Lopburi area. Lopburi is situated approximately 95 miles north of Bangkok and is commonly know as 'monkey town'. In this town monkeys are worshipped and they have their own designated festival once a year, where all the monkeys are dressed up in clothes and treated regally with their own buffet of Thai specialities to eat.
Lopburi used to be known as 'Lawoa', which is an old traditional Thai name. Our style of cooking reflects some of the traditional old style Thai recipes, cooked in a more contemporary way.
We hope you enjoy our coconut curries and varied stir fry dishes. Some may be too spicy, so if you prefer some dishes in a slightly different style, please do not hesitate to ask and we will do our best to please.
We hope you enjoy your 'Nahling' experience.

    Our favourite Thai restaurant in London. Been many times, this one was for my son's birthday with family. As usual great food and service. The place is not huge which makes for a good intimate atmosphere. A couple in our party had not been before and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nahling is great value, highly recommended.

    Restaurant was really humid, went in to sit at a table and asked if air con could be turned on to be told no. Ended up eating outside in their garden. Food was not the best, have had much better. Servers could not understand/speak english properly so was hard to get answers for questions about items on the menu. Tried it once, wont go again.

    Great food. The chefs really knew what they was doing, each ingredient had a purpose and when brilliantly well with the dish. The restaurant was a bit small but other than that everything was good. Will go back again.

    Food was fairly good, very much what you would expect. Service was a bit lacking though, basic things like being offered water, taking an age to get someones' attention (it's only a small place). Good for take aways, not sure I'd rush back to the restaurant itself though.

    I'd forgotten what a great place this is. Delicious and fresh tasty food. Casual but attentive atmosphere. Really worth trying.

    Surprisingly empty for a Saturday night, but we had a lovely meal. Everything was really tasty, and the service was helpful. Great choice of vegetarian dishes.

    We went on a cold Mondayevening having not been for quite some time. I was concerned that the restaurant might have lost is mojo but the food was excellent. Crab claws & spare ribs to start were delish. The sea bass in lemon & ginger was fab as was the mixed seafood & veg. My only complaint was that the restaurant was rather cold but other than that it was really nice to see an old friend once again.
