Nam
Tel Aviv
At a glance
Nam is a Thai restaurant on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv, built around cooking that stays close to the flavours and recipes of Thailand. The kitchen is run by Thai cooks, and the restaurant places emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients. A substantial share of the produce is sourced from Thailand, while Thai vegetables are grown specifically for the restaurant’s use.
The name refers to the finishing element that completes a dish. In the restaurant’s culinary language, nam is the sauce poured over the food, bringing the separate flavours together. That idea gives the cooking a clear focus on balance, seasoning and the relationship between a dish and its sauce, rather than treating the sauce as an afterthought.
The menu is Thai in character and uses ingredients associated with the cuisine’s original setting. The approach is rooted in Thai preparations rather than a broad international interpretation, making Nam a suitable choice for diners looking for a dedicated Thai restaurant. The emphasis on ingredients brought from Thailand and locally cultivated Thai vegetables also gives the kitchen a distinct produce-led identity.
Nam operates as both a restaurant and a delivery service. The Dizengoff branch offers table reservations, while a separate delivery operation serves orders from the same area. This makes the venue suitable for a sit-down meal or for Thai food enjoyed elsewhere. A second Nam location is listed on King George Street, but the Dizengoff branch is located at number 275.
The restaurant’s character is defined more by its food and sourcing than by decorative detail. Diners can expect a menu shaped by Thai culinary traditions, Thai kitchen expertise and sauces intended to connect the flavours of each preparation. It suits casual meals, diners exploring Thai cooking, and anyone looking for a restaurant where Thai ingredients and techniques remain central to the offering.
