A South-East Asian dining room on the ground floor of the Griffiths Tea Building, with a high ceiling and red-tinted light that hits you with noise and heat at the door. The menu is built around sharing plates: Thai-style salads, curries and stir-fries, two or three at a time with rice passed around. It gets loud in the evening, so it is not for quiet conversation.
