Excellent Gastronomic Experience, but Room for Improvement in Service

Haoma offers a high-level culinary experience, with impeccably executed dishes, both in terms of technique and presentation. Each course reflects great attention to ingredient quality and the chef's creativity, making the tasting journey an interesting and refined experience.

However, there are some aspects of the service that could be improved to make the experience truly flawless. The dining staff struggled to communicate in English, with a very low proficiency level that made explanations unclear and often inaccurate. Considering the restaurant’s international target audience, this is a significant limitation. Additionally, there were frequent mistakes during the presentation of the dishes, with inaccurate descriptions and references to previous versions of the menu, which created a fair amount of confusion. Another critical point was the overly chaotic atmosphere in the dining room, which somewhat diminished the elegance of the experience.

I would recommend more comprehensive training for the staff, both in terms of communication and menu knowledge, to ensure precise and consistent explanations. Additionally, better management of the dining flow could help create a more relaxed atmosphere, in line with the restaurant’s prestige.

Overall, Haoma deserves recognition for the quality of its cuisine, but with some improvements in service, it could reach an even higher level.

FOOD:
Not what I was expecting, but very unique and  nicely executed dishes and presentation.

Ordered a bottle of wine in which they did not have a full bottle and had asked several times if we wanted to buy by the glass in which we replied no thanks. I then asked if they had any other suggestions and was asked to look at the wine list again. What was the point of me asking then?

Service:
The service language used is very poor. When we sat at our table, I wanted to change my seat position and was told that I cannot as I “would block them from serving”. Come on….really?

During introduction for each of the dishes, 2 particular waitstaff in suits of Western Asian decent had poor service skills. Towards the end of each dish, they had not even finished speaking and was already walking away from the table. Restaurant was NOT even full or busy.

Atmosphere:
The initial table was a bit wobbly and ended up changing to another table. Nice quote environment.

Overall:
Food was good and if anything, they should highlight in the menu that many of the dishes were on a spicy side and contains many spices.

What I didn’t like about this experience is the fact that they first sit you down at the bar and I’m assuming they expect you to buy a drink before going into the dining room.

The other thing I didn’t like was they force you on a little tour and talk about their concept before heading inside the dining room. With the hot and humid weather in Bangkok, I would have preferred to go straight to our table and have an option to skip this tour.

A unique experience but I do t think I would be returning anytime soon

Haoma is a wholesome, sustainability focused Contemporary Indian food gastronomic experience. The service is exquisite as expected from a Michelin restaurant. We opted for Vegetarian chef tasting menu & it was delightful. A thoughtful seasonal menu curated from farm fresh ingredients & inventive techniques.
The first bite of each course truly transports you with its bold concentrated flavors. Alex & Sarthak, our primary servers, were excellent.

What I wasn’t too impressed about is their pricing.
So if you opted for a tasting menu at 6k, be prepared to shell out extra for subtle add-ons.
They charge you for everything- water, drinks, coffee etc. If customer is paying for a full course menu, it’s a nice gesture to offer water complimentary as a basic necessity. But they wouldn’t mention much & keep refilling our bottles so we’ve barely any clue how much paid water we ended up drinking.
Haoma has promise but it needs to focus on customer retention.

Just book the LV Gaggan experience instead. Haoma was, unfortunately, the most disappointing Michelin-starred meal I’ve ever had. By the end of the meal, we walked out thinking we wouldn’t even pay $10 to return.

Let’s start with the positive—the service was excellent. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely tried to create a great dining experience. But when it comes to the food, it fell far short of expectations.

The flavor profiles were monotonous and uninspired. The pani puri tasted like… pani puri—nothing elevated or unexpected. Most dishes were essentially curry mashed into different forms, lacking any real textural or flavor contrast. The mains, like the lamb, were downright confusing—a mix of chickpea, sauce, and shiso tempura leaves thrown together with no harmony or balance.

At one point, the waiter asked us which dish was the most memorable. The honest answer? None. Every bite blended into the next, with no standout moment of brilliance. At a Michelin-starred restaurant, you expect at least one unforgettable bite. Here, there were none.

When I looked up Haoma, I saw that they pride themselves on being extremely sustainable—I guess that’s what they won the star for, not the food.

A truly underwhelming experience.

Very nice little garden outside! I was very interested and curious in the start of our meal, they really have many interesting facts supporting sustainable practices.
However, some dishes were tasty some dishes extremely unbalanced. There was one that tasted only black pepper that the manager told me that was the way the eat in India. But there was no balance on the dish. I had to drink a glass of water after eating the dish. It was almost a 3 hours meal. Felt a little too much and overworked that there was a point that i wanted to finish the meal, in some dishes they had me connected. Then on the ubalanced ones they lost me.

Unique and knowledgeable service, but tasting menus are like a play. If the musician play a inconsistent sequence, you lose the crowd. Even some dishes very tasty. Others I really couldn’t connect with the unbalance of the taste. The music was too loud, so kind if few things were not make the experience pleasant.
