FOOD: Culinary executive Christian 'jimmy' karl leads the open kitchen at Sri Panwa with effortless panache. His dishes are light and flavoursome, each with a clever twist in its culinary tail. Crispy lemongrass-infused chicken wings come with a selection of piquant sauces, while pan-seared tuna salad with mixed greens, carrots, cherry tomatoes in sesame sauce and seeds together produce a veritable explosion of tastes. Creamy prawn bisque soup with fresh herbs is good to the last spooonful, and grilled Australian lamb chops served with white truffle sauce exemplify perfection in taste and presentation. This excellent cuisine served with flair in stylish surroundings is highly recommended .

WINE: The 22-label list is unpretentious and reasonably priced. Predominantly New World, it makes finding a matching wine a simple, and ultimately rewarding, task.

SERVICE: This is where Baba truly shines. Intelligent, discerning, attentive and appealing; each member of staff is an asset to this attractive eatery.
 
PRICE: A very satisfying dinner for two without wine will cost about 2,000 baht.
