Cut Meutia No. 2, Menteng.  

“In the beginning we are trying to emphasize on our Royal Thai cuisine dishes that differentiate our restaurant from other Thai restaurants, however to appreciate our loyal customers requests, we have decided to add these classic and popular Thai dishes to our menu,” said Darwan Purba, Blue Erawan’s Assistant Manager. “We continually try to make sure that every dining experience at Blue Erawan is a memorable one. Therefore this initial evolution to our menu combines craveable Thai favorites with Blue Erawan standards that provide guests with wider range of dining choices.”

The result of extensive customer research, Blue Erawan’s additional menu reflects the restaurant’s commitment and dedication to their loyal customer’s needs. “We always encourage our customers to fill in the comment cards and give us feedback on how we could improve their Blue Erawan experience. We prefer to hear the comments and complaints from the guests directly than to hear the compliments.
