Amari Restaurant

You'll find Amari tucked away on Baker Street, just north of the Lanes, where the lunch crowd knows to queue before noon. This is proper Thai food—the kind where your pad thai has actual char on it and the curries aren't dumbed down for timid palates. The space itself is unpretentious, all warm lighting and wooden touches, the sort of place where regulars get their usual nod from the kitchen. Whether you're after a quick weekday meal or settling in for a longer sit, the vibe feels genuinely neighbourhood rather than designed for Instagram.
