Hidden away, almost at the end of Soi Ekkamai, Haus has taken over the beautiful building that formerly housed the now-defunct Parata Diamond.

The original dark mood and tone remain, while the kitchen serves up Thai comfort dishes such as radna patongko (noodles in gravy topped with deep-fried dough, B180) and laab tord (deep-fried pork with herbs and stuffed with cheese, B170).

It’s already proving popular with a younger crowd drawn by the chance to grab a sheesha and a drink out on the large terrace.

For now, they have Singha, Asahi and Heineken and a good list of signature cocktails.

Sheesha here is quite interesting through the use of fresh fruits like lemon, pineapple and berries to mix with normal blended flavors. We highly recommend the addition of lemon to the normal apple flavor (B500).
