A royal recipe existing since the reign of King Rama V, this signature dish uses the traditional royal cooking method with bitter orange. Crispy rice vermicelli is combined with plump river prawns in a sweet and sour sauce that balances multiple flavor profiles. The Michelin Guide highlights this as one of the restaurant's standout dishes, showcasing authentic royal Thai techniques.
Tips from diners
This is one of the few places serving the authentic royal version with bitter orange. The bitterness balances the sweet-sour profile in a way modern versions miss.
The rice vermicelli should be crispy when it arrives. Mix it quickly with the sauce and eat right away before it softens too much.
Highly recommended by multiple reviewers, this curry showcases sweet blue swimmer crab meat in a rich, aromatic sauce enhanced with betel leaves. The dish pairs perfectly with jasmine rice, allowing the complex curry flavors to shine. The betel leaf adds a peppery, slightly medicinal note that's traditional in royal Thai curries.
Tips from diners
Multiple reviewers specifically call this out as a must-order. The crab is generous and the curry sauce is rich enough to soak up with rice.
Order extra jasmine rice with this. The curry is meant to be eaten with rice, not on its own — that's how it was served in royal courts.
A Michelin Guide highlight featuring tender catfish pieces stir-fried with creamy salted egg yolk that coats each morsel. Fresh chillies provide heat while kaffir lime leaves add citrus aromatics. The dish is perfect with jasmine rice and demonstrates the royal kitchen's sophisticated approach to balancing rich, spicy, and aromatic elements.
Tips from diners
The salted egg yolk coating is rich and creamy. This dish is quite heavy, so consider sharing it if you're ordering multiple mains.
The kaffir lime cuts through the richness of the egg yolk. Make sure to get some of the lime leaves in each bite for the full flavor balance.
A legacy Thai dish with origins going back to King Rama V's era, featuring an intense shrimp paste-based broth. This is one of the rarest dishes on the menu, sourced from royal palace kitchen archives. Served over steamed rice, the soup delivers complex layers of heat, umami from the shrimp paste, and aromatic spices that were favored by Thai royalty.
Tips from diners
This is one of the rarest dishes on the menu — from royal palace kitchens of the early 1900s. Ask the staff about its history when they serve it.
The shrimp paste gives this intense umami depth. If you're not used to fermented flavors, start with a small portion to see if it's for you.
Saneh Jaan's refined interpretation of Thailand's most famous noodle dish, featuring stir-fried rice noodles with tamarind sauce, topped with large grilled river prawns. The char from the grill adds smoky depth that distinguishes this from street-style versions. Reviewers note this as one of the dishes that stood out during their meal.
Tips from diners
This is a more refined version than street Pad Thai. The river prawns are grilled separately and added on top, keeping them juicy and slightly smoky.
If you're trying Thai fine dining for the first time, this is a good bridge dish — familiar flavors executed at a higher level with premium ingredients.
A standout dish according to reviewers, featuring tender beef slow-cooked in a rich Massaman curry sauce with Persian and Indian influences.
