Experience
Restaurant Gaa is a modern Indian fine dining restaurant situated in a traditional Thai house in the heart of Bangkok.
The Gaa dining experience is a perfect marriage between tradition and modernity, where the world of exciting contemporary Indian flavors meets the beautiful setting of a renovated baan ruen thai.
Gaa offers a tasting menu in the main dining room and relaxed afternoon tea service in the lounge.
Cuisine
At Gaa, we focus on creating a one-of-a-kind dining experience, which showcases the modern relevance and complexity of Indian cooking. Be it drawing umami from vegetables, the art of tandoor and open fire cooking or even the underrepresented world on Indian fermentations; at Gaa we pay homage to one facet of Indian food culture in every seasonal menu.
Our current menu is a never ending explosion of flavours, textures and ingredients; all inspired by the limitless cuisines of India. This menu in its many little bites, combining traditional Indian cooking techniques with local ingredients, will take to you through a journey into the heart of India in a new and unexpected way.

Baan Ruen Thai Dining Room
In collaboration with Architectkidd, a Bangkok-based design studio, a 60-year-old traditional Thai house is transformed into a unique dining destination by accentuating the strong characteristics of baan ruen thai in subtle and new ways.
The interior palette is reduced to a singular tone of taupe to give focus on the details such as the wood joinery and how they are seen in changing light and shadow.
The curved ceilings are highlighted with a white string installation which is a modern interpretation of 'Sai Sin' - white threads strung along rafters of houses and buildings to symbolize the spiritual connection and bliss of people gathered together within the space.
The Garden Room
Housed on the lower level, amid lush greenery, this dining room is bejewelled with metallic curtains around every table to give the diners a feeling of privacy. Personal service stations, together with the intimacy of being enveloped in your personal cocoon with hues of gold and close proximity to the hustle and bustle of the kitchen makes this dining room relaxing and exciting at the same time.
The Gaa Lounge
Experience the warmth of Indian hospitality and nostalgic flavors with the afternoon tea service available only on the weekends. Book Here
The Gaa Lounge is also a perfect spot for sundowners, a bottle from the cellar, a quick bite from the a la carte menu, hand crafted cocktails, juices and mocktails.
