Gaa
About This Experience
Gaa earned its second MICHELIN star in 2024, making Garima Arora the first Indian female chef to hold two stars. After moving from Soi Langsuan to a beautifully restored Thai wooden house off Sukhumvit 53, Gaa kept its philosophy intact: progressive Indian cooking that uses Thailand as a pantry and India as a memory.
The tasting menu is built around dishes you can almost recognise (a paratha, a kebab, an achaar) but executed with techniques and pairings that reframe the original. Garima trained at Noma and Verrat, and the ferment-and-fire DNA of those kitchens is unmistakable. Wine pairings lean toward small-grower European and Indian labels.
A 14-seat counter and a small dining room set the pace; the upstairs terrace doubles as a bar for after-meal chai and amari. Two MICHELIN stars retained in 2026.
