Sara Restaurant @ Nuovo City Hotel, Bangkok

The new Sara Restaurant is situated at the Nuovo City Hotel on Samsen Road. It's a Muslim owned hotel not very far from Khao San Road. The nearest boat pier is the Phra Athit Pier.

This 4-star boutique hotel is the new wing of the New World Hotel.

The deco is pretty cool and food is good, too, but a bit pricey.

If you plan to have a function where halal food can be served, this is definitely the place.

Coming from Victory Monument, you can board bus number 54 and 74. Press the bell right after passing under the Viphavadee-Rangsit flyover. The bus will stop in front of 7-Eleven. Walk past Soi 33 towards Tesco Lotus Express and it's on your left. You can also take the MRT to Sutthisan Station and take a bus or a cab and stop at Tesco Lotus Express.
It's a corner shop with an ATM machine right next to the entrance. You don't have to worry about not having enough cash with you when you dine here....he,he,he ;)
Coming from Viphavadee Rangsit Road, the cafe is situated just before this signboard. You can either park in front of the shop or at the Tesco Lotus Express car park.

The Paradise Park is the latest modern shopping mall of eastern Bangkok. The building used to house the Seri Centre Department Store. It was renovated and turned into a shopping paradise with lots of greens in it. It's located adjacent to the Seacon Square on Sri Nakharin Road.

Saha farm food counter is inside the Villa Market on the ground floor. All the food served here are chicken based.

From Villa Market, walk through the food bazaar and you'll see this special rotee stall opposite of the Green Store, just before Lemon Farm Organic Store.

Walk a little bit further and turn right , you'll see the following Thai dessert stall. It's eaten like a spring roll but a sweet one.

Walk all the way to the other end of Villa Market is the SERI Market foodcourt area. There are 3 halal stalls available here:

1: This stall sells 'roti canai' with all kinds of curries.

2. Go further in the food court and you'll see this stall which sells rice with dishes, yellow chicken rice, beef soup & ox-tail soup. If you walk straight on passing the white rice cooker on your right, you'll meet the third Halal food stall. The food court is quite big. You need to know the exact location or else you may not fine the halal stalls. During my first visit, I only found the 'Rotee' stall. It's only during my second visit that I found the rest.

3. The 3rd. stall sells yellow chicken rice, salad(something similar to rojak Singapore or ado-gado) beef and ox tail soup and Thai noodles.

Various Thai curries for the noodles and can be eaten with white rice, too.

I tried the Khao soy- Chiang Mai noodles

Facing the stall above, turn left and walk till the end of the alley. You'll see the following Muslim stall called 'SAKINA' selling beef(nuea), mutton(Phae'), chicken(kai) and even village chicken (ayam kampung) or 'kai baan' in Thai.:

Since the musolla is still not ready yet, you can perform your prayers at Masjid Rahmatul Islam which is about 700m into Soi Sri Nakharin 55 (Soi Moo Ban Seri Viila Khrong Karn 2), the lane leading towards the Rama IX Royal Park.

Al Tara Halal & Vegetarian Restaurant in Bangkok

The Chaophya Park Hotel Bangkok recently celebrated the Grand Opening of their newest outlet, Al Tara Halal & Vegetarian Restaurant. Al Tara is possibly the only fine dining venue in the city to offer Halal food as well as a delicious array of pan Asian cuisine including Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, Indian and the Middle Eastern.

With Islam being the fastest growing religion, the estimated global population is currently two billion resulting in the increasing demand for Halal food to be more widely available. All ingredients used at Al Tara follow the strict dietary laws as outlined by the Islamic guidelines and are prepared by Chef Manit Laemit, a Muslim himself as with the rest of his kitchen team.

Al Tara’s interior fuses the mystical charms of Arabia with a fine touch of New Age modernity. The open arena cooking station does not only add a touch of entertainment to the dining experience but it also allows the uncluttered area the appearance of maximum spaciousness. The vibrant colour scheme reflects the trends of today that blends artfully with the intricate décor.

Opens everyday for lunch and dinner with outside and home catering available upon request. Call 0-2290 0125 ext. 7105 for further information
