Inddee is a hidden gem in Bangkok’s lively Langsuan district – a neighbourhood rich in flavours but with nothing quite like this. In just one year, it has earned a Michelin star and carved a unique niche in the city’s dining scene. Set within a beautifully restored century-old house, the restaurant’s ambiance masterfully balances nostalgia with modernity, creating a dining experience that, for me, stands out as the best in the city.

Experiencing Inddee carries a quiet, almost theatrical charm. Each course unfolds like a chapter, leading into the next. Their latest nine-course tasting menu is an intricate journey through India, traversing the flavours of Kashmir in the north to the coastal spice trails of Kerala in the south. Each dish tells its own story, a sensory voyage that brings a world of tradition and history to the table.
Take, for instance, ‘When the Portuguese Came’. Carabinero shrimp, tangy recheado, and a refreshing coconut-fruit base embody the coastal spirit of Goa. Rooted in Goan history yet elevated with modern finesse, the dish feels like an invitation to view a historic taste through a new lens. Then there’s ‘Kebab-Loving King’, a playful nod to Lucknow’s galouti kebab, reimagined with foie gras in a texture so delicate it nearly dissolves, leaving a lasting impression that’s both ephemeral and luxurious. Each bite honours India’s heritage while presenting it in a fresh way.
The attention to detail at Inddee is remarkable. Each piece of custom ceramic tableware, sourced from skilled artisans in Lampang, adds a thoughtful touch to the experience. Head Sommelier Thanakorn ‘Jay’ Bottorff’s carefully chosen wine pairings are a journey in their own right, and the Beverage Experience introduces an unexpected mix of wines, sake, umeshu, and Indian craft beers, bringing an element of surprise to every course.
Dining at Inddee feels like stepping into a cinematic experience crafted to leave a lasting impression. The service is graceful and attentive, striking a perfect balance without a hint of pretension. Each dish arrives with a gentle introduction, offering insights into the ingredients, story, and traditions behind it, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the journey.
In a city brimming with culinary gems, Inddee stands out, combining craftsmanship and storytelling to elevate dining beyond the ordinary. It has set a new benchmark, not only in Bangkok but for modern Indian gastronomy as a whole. Inddee isn’t just my favourite restaurant – it’s an invitation to reimagine how we experience the flavours of the world.
