About Haoma
Haoma is Bangkok's Michelin-starred neo-Indian restaurant and Thailand's first zero-waste fine dining venue, ranked #89 in OAD Asia 2025. The seasonal tasting menu — including a dedicated vegetarian option — draws on an urban farm and hyper-local sourcing. At ฿฿฿฿, it is the strongest case for Indian fine dining in Southeast Asia, but book three to four weeks out: tables are hard to secure.
Verdict
Haoma is the most credentialed Indian restaurant in Southeast Asia right now, and it earns that position on merit. A Michelin star (2024), an Opinionated About Dining Asia ranking of #89 (2025), and a La Liste score of 78 points (2026) are not decorations — they reflect a kitchen that has built something genuinely hard to replicate: a zero-waste, farm-driven neo-Indian tasting menu operating at fine dining level inside a residential Bangkok house. If you are in Bangkok for a special occasion and Indian cuisine is on the table, book here before anywhere else in the city. If you want à la carte or a casual drop-in, this is the wrong venue.
What Haoma Actually Is (And What It Is Not)
The most common misconception about Haoma is that it is a sustainability project that also happens to serve food. That framing undersells the cooking. The kitchen produces seasonal tasting menus — including a dedicated vegetarian option , built around produce grown on the restaurant's own urban farm and sourced from farmers, breeders, and fisherfolk who supply ingredients the restaurant cannot grow itself. The result is neo-Indian cuisine: recognisably Indian in its spice logic and flavour memory, but plated with the kind of precision you associate with Nordic or Japanese fine dining rather than a traditional Indian banquet.
The dining room reinforces that positioning. A private house in a residential pocket of Sukhumvit, decorated with unused plant material, it reads as calm and considered rather than grand. For a special occasion, that setting works well , intimate enough for a celebration dinner, composed enough for a serious business meal, with none of the Bangkok fine dining showiness that can make a restaurant feel like it is performing rather than serving you.
Aroma that defines the experience arrives early: the kitchen's spice work is present but controlled, the kind of scent that signals complexity without announcing itself. This is not a restaurant that assaults you at the door. It draws you in.
The Credentials and What They Mean
Haoma holds a Michelin star and has been ranked consecutively in the Opinionated About Dining Asia list , #61 in 2023, #86 in 2024, #89 in 2025. La Liste placed it at 80.5 points in 2025. The Star Wine List has featured it multiple times across consecutive years, which signals the beverage program is taken seriously, not treated as an afterthought. The We're Smart 4 Radishes recognition is a specialist credential for plant-forward cooking and is the clearest indication of where the kitchen places its emphasis: vegetables and legumes are not the supporting cast here.
Chef Deepanker Khosla's trajectory matters for one practical reason: this is a chef who started with an aquaponics course and built an urban farm before the restaurant concept fully matured. That origin is relevant because it explains why the sourcing is structural rather than decorative. The farm in Chiang Mai and the on-site growing operation are not marketing copy , they are the supply chain.
For context against the global Indian fine dining tier, consider Trèsind Studio in Dubai and Opheem in Birmingham. Haoma sits comfortably alongside both in terms of ambition and execution, but its sustainability architecture and Bangkok location give it a profile those restaurants do not share.
Who Should Book and When
Haoma is the right choice if you are planning a celebration dinner, an anniversary, or a client meal where the food needs to hold the conversation. The tasting menu format means you are committing to a full evening , this is not somewhere to squeeze in between two other plans. The vegetarian menu makes it one of the few Michelin-starred venues in Bangkok where a plant-based diner gets a full, purpose-built experience rather than an adapted version of the main menu.
If you are exploring Bangkok's broader Indian dining scene without the tasting menu commitment, the city has options worth knowing: INDDEE, Ms.Maria & Mr.Singh, Indus, Jhol, and Punjab Grill all serve Indian food in Bangkok at various formats and price points. None operates at Haoma's award level, but for a casual midweek dinner they are more practical choices.
Thailand's fine dining scene extends well beyond Bangkok. PRU in Phuket and Aeeen in Chiang Mai are worth knowing if your trip covers more of the country.

Also worth noting in the broader Thailand context: AKKEE in Pak Kret, AKKEE Thai Delicacies & Tasting Counter in Nonthaburi, The Spa in Lamai Beach, and Agave in Ubon Ratchathani represent different corners of the Thai dining picture worth exploring on a longer trip.
Booking and Practical Details
Haoma is a hard booking. A Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in a small private house , seat count is not published, but the format implies a limited cover number , operating in Bangkok's competitive fine dining market means tables go fast. Book at least three to four weeks out for a standard weekend reservation; for a Saturday dinner tied to a specific date, allow more. The address is 231, 3 Sukhumvit 31, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110. The residential house setting on Sukhumvit 31 is direct to reach by taxi or ride-share from central Bangkok. Google reviews sit at 4.6 across 461 reviews, which is a strong signal of consistent execution at volume. Price range is ฿฿฿฿, placing it at Bangkok's fine dining ceiling alongside Sorn, Sühring, and Gaa.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are alternatives to Haoma in Bangkok?
For Thai fine dining at a comparable price tier, Sorn and Baan Tepa are the closest peers — both hold serious credentials and are harder to book. Gaa offers a comparable experimental tasting menu format with Indian influence. Sühring and Côte by Mauro Colagreco are strong alternatives if European tasting menus are more your preference. None of them replicate Haoma's zero-waste urban farm concept or its neo-Indian lens.
Is Haoma worth the price?
At ฿฿฿฿, Haoma is a meaningful spend, but the Michelin star (2024), consecutive Opinionated About Dining Asia rankings (#61 in 2023, #86 in 2024, #89 in 2025), and La Liste placement at 80.5pts in 2025 confirm it is priced in line with its category. The value case is strongest if a seasonal tasting menu format suits you — the kitchen grows a significant portion of what it serves, which is a verifiable operational commitment, not marketing copy.
Is Haoma good for a special occasion?
Yes, it is one of the more defensible choices for a celebration dinner in Bangkok. The private-house setting on Sukhumvit 31 creates a contained, intimate atmosphere that most hotel restaurants cannot match, and the tasting menu format — including a vegetarian option — holds the evening's structure without requiring guests to make decisions mid-meal. Michelin-starred, with a clear narrative around the food, it gives a special occasion something to anchor to.
How far ahead should I book Haoma?
Book at least three to four weeks out, and longer for weekend dates or peak season. Haoma operates in a small private house with limited covers — the format implies a tight seat count — and a Michelin star means availability moves fast. Walk-in is not a realistic option for a venue of this format.
What should I order at Haoma?
Haoma runs seasonal tasting menus, so individual dish choices are not part of the booking. The menu changes with the farm's output and sourcing cycle. A vegetarian tasting menu is available alongside the main menu — worth requesting at the time of booking rather than on arrival.
Is the tasting menu worth it at Haoma?
If a multi-course tasting menu is your preferred format, Haoma is one of the stronger cases in Bangkok at this price point. The menu is built around produce from the restaurant's own farm and a Chiang Mai organic operation, which gives it more ingredient traceability than most tasting menus in the city. If you prefer à la carte flexibility, Haoma is not structured for that — consider Gaa or Côte by Mauro Colagreco instead.
Can I eat at the bar at Haoma?
No bar dining option is documented for Haoma. The restaurant operates in a private house format with a fixed tasting menu, which typically means seating is by reservation at a designated table rather than at a bar counter. Star Wine List has ranked Haoma's wine program multiple times through 2023–2025, so the drinks side is worth attention regardless of where you sit.

How Haoma Compares to Bangkok's Other ฿฿฿฿ Restaurants
Haoma sits in the same price bracket as Sorn, Sühring, Gaa, Baan Tepa, and Côte by Mauro Colagreco, but it occupies a different position in each comparison. Against Sorn — the most decorated Thai restaurant in the city, with two Michelin stars and a deep Southern Thai culinary identity — Haoma offers a comparable level of ingredient rigour but a completely different cuisine and philosophy. If you want the most technically accomplished Thai cooking available in Bangkok, Sorn wins. If you want Indian fine dining with a sustainability architecture that changes the meaning of what is on the plate, Haoma is the only option at this level in the city.
Gaa, also Indian-influenced and formerly Michelin-starred, is the most direct peer in cuisine terms. The two restaurants approach Indian-origin cooking differently: Gaa leans into Indian technique as a foundation for global experimentation, while Haoma uses neo-Indian flavour logic as a frame for hyperlocal, farm-driven produce. For a special occasion where the story of the food matters as much as the food itself, Haoma has the more distinctive angle. Sühring, serving refined German cuisine in a heritage villa, and Baan Tepa, with its Thai contemporary tasting menu, are worth considering if you want to cover ground across Bangkok's fine dining tier rather than focus on Indian cuisine specifically. Côte by Mauro Colagreco brings a high-profile international name to the table but operates on different culinary logic entirely.
On booking difficulty, Haoma and Sorn are the hardest tables in this group to secure — plan well ahead for both. Sühring and Baan Tepa tend to be slightly more accessible, though all four require advance planning at peak times. For value assessment within the ฿฿฿฿ tier: Haoma's Michelin star, multiple OAD Asia rankings, and La Liste recognition across consecutive years give it the strongest credential stack in this peer group for its specific cuisine. If Indian fine dining is your priority, there is no better-credentialed option in Bangkok.
