We found this place on our visit to NK over New Year. We were going to try it but were put off by other farangs we met at Mut Mee who said the food tasted "funny". It is over a year since the first enthusiastic reviews. Has it changed hands? Has anyone been there lately?

Well that was a dissapointment - My first meal was a basic dal - it had no taste just a salty mush, I can say the worst dal I have ever had. Second time with frequent Indian travellers, we ordered a large selection. It was bland and not well prepared even with more than 40 minutes waiting. The owner is a jolly guy, but his heart is not in the food. Even a basic curd is not available. He offers a daily special 3 dishes and a "milkshake", cheap, but you will be better off with the local street vendors. Nong Khai has so many new bars and restaurants, they open and close all the time - ask around who is doing good food - generally you will find reasonable food along the boardwalk, but the old rule eat where the locals eat is always a good strategy. Cheap prices and few coustemers, should make your alarm bells go off. And Mariam is such a place - even if you long for an indian meal.

Yap, just been there myself, no photos yet though due to the nights drawing in though , not bad at all in my honest opinion. Good prices for sure, and the food itself was very tasty indeed.
