Exclusively Turkish-sourced: octopus orzo and lamb shank on farmers' pasta
The original: Chef Khun Nuch, ex-Thai royal family chef, since 2006
The original Tunel location where Chef Khun Nuch, formerly of the Thai royal family's kitchen, has been serving twice-Michelin-listed Thai cuisine since 2006. The food is genuinely Thai, not adapted for Turkish palates, which is precisely why the target audience values it.
Khun Nuch is the reason; the original location runs the Thai-royal-family kitchen with conviction. Order the green curry and the pad krapow gai; skip the pad thai which is the touristic concession. Reserve the courtyard table when weather permits. Lunch service is calmer than dinner.
