Berlin’s new Asia restaurant: The Nithan Thai in Mitte on Chausseestraße

Since one year in Tel Aviv, now also in Berlin: Recently, in the middle on the Chausseestrasse, the Thai restaurant Nithan Thai opened its doors. I love the Asian cuisine and was especially excited about what awaits me. To start with, my culinary excursion was pretty much the best I’ve been able to enjoy lately.

The interior designers from Tel Aviv understand their craft

Right at the entrance of Nithan Thai, the visitor awaits a stylish ambience. The bar is located In the center of the 120 square meter restaurant, the walls are decorated with warm wood with matte brass elements, Asian art on brickwork, cozy seating groups on different levels. The interior designers from Tel Aviv understand their craft. This is also where the Chef Shahaf Shabtay comes from, who founded the Nithan Thai Restaurant in Israel’s trendy coastal town a year ago. Now Shabtay, who collected his culinary experiences in Japan, New York, Mumbai and Amsterdam, brought the royal Thai cuisine to the capital with international influences: a real enrichment.

My Favorite: The lightly fried ‘Thai Roll’ with sashimi of tuna and salmon and an unbeatable sesame sauce

To start with, I chose a refreshing, ‘Nithan Thai Fuzzy ‘cocktail with Riesling champagne. Then I got a hot cloth and a Kaffir-lime-leaf, which, when rubbed between the hands, unfolds its spicy-fresh fragrance. Amazing! What followed was a delicious menu of fish and meat dishes. In between a vegetarian corn soup and a papaya salad with coriander sauce. My Favorite: The lightly fried ‘Thai Roll’ with sashimi of tuna and salmon and an unbeatable sesame sauce.

The menu of the Nithan Thai is based on five Thai cooking elements: under “Sunrise” you will find the starters. ‘Golden Sun’ stands for crisp fried and ‘water’ for fish dishes. ‘Sound’ offers grilled meats and ‘Inner peace’, everything what makes you stronger. The service team is friendly and fast. My wish for an extra portion of coriander was immediately fulfilled. The Maestro comes personally to the table and likes to tell you about the history and philosophy of offering food at star level but still at affordable prices.

Chiefs of the kitchen: Shahaf Shabtay and his right hand Ivana

Conclusion: Fish and meat were cooked perfectly. Sauces and side dishes are harmonious and not too dominant. It is the details that convinced me in the Nithan Thai. Before the dessert – a ‘Kaffir Semi Fredo’ with strawberries, raspberries and rosemary – was served, jasmine tea soaked dessert spoons come to the table. The spoons take on the delicate aroma of jasmine and thus create a very special taste experience. More is not possible. BvH

The color concept: elegant staged in tones of brown and green with red spots of color*

Wow, how chic is this, I think to myself, when I enter the Theresa Bar in Munich. Placed in a hidden backyard and probably already known by the experts of the scene, Theresa Bar, which opened a couple of months ago, meanwhile doesn’t count to the real insider tips anymore. But the hip bar is already one of my favorite places in the metropolis of the Isar. Why? I’ll tell you:

Light objects and also the furniture have been manufactured*

A good bar has three essential criteria:
Drinks, Atmosphere, Service. To me – as an interior-person – the optical presentation is from high importance, as it essentially decides, whether I feel good at a place or not. The architects Stephanie Thatenhorst and Seven Elohim truly succeeded with their design. The Theresa Bar exudes real Hollywood glamour: awesome, how you would say it there. With its menial, velvety sofas and the chilled cocktail chairs, the bar reminds of the 50s and 60s and could even be a film set of my American favorite TV series Mad Men: you won’t be surprised, if Don Draper alias Jon Hamm would look around the corner.

Glamour is always a good idea

So chic: The Theresa Bar in Munich

The drinks:

Next to a well sorted selection of wines, the Theresa Bar offers cocktail classics from the 60s like ‘Champagne Daisy’ (Pomegranate, Chartreuse Jaune, Lemon, Champagne) or ‘Fairbanks Cocktails’ (Gin, Apricot, French Vermouth). How about a time journey through a diversity of Martini-Variations? This will be possible at Theresa Bar! And on the menu you’ll find bar classics like Beef Tatar, beef fillet and autumn-vegetables for the vegetarians: convincing quality for acceptable prices.

A Martini, please – shaken, not stirred! This is where the cocktails are mixed *

“I like to have a martini, two at the very most. After three I’m under the table, after four I’m under my host!” Dorothee Parker

The service is super friendly, quick and competent, like I already experienced it at the Theresa Grill (more about that soon).
Conclusion: a true enrichment, a beautiful location – suitable for a humorous girls night as well as a romantic Diner à Deux. BvH

Walls and ceiling are encased with wood*

Damped atmosphere thanks to a succeeded concept of light and – surprise ! – a fleecy carpet
