This one will be your sure shot favourite if you love an earthy, minimalistic ambience. The word Kaméi in Japanese and Chinese means turtle. This signifies resilience and power. Spread across 2,800 square feet, there is something for everyone here. There is sofa seating and even taller seating at the bar. The pitted textured walls and terracotta-hued ceiling make it for a romantic date night spot. Our suggestion here would be to try out their Smalls to Share cold plates or even Larges to Share which includes classic curries and wok dishes. If you love dimsums, Chicken Siu Mai will be your favourite… Of course, no Thai menu is complete without prawn tempura and Kaméi’s is so good, that you’d want to pack a serve for home too.

Every corner of this new Thai spot in Gurugram has a story to tell. The brand was earlier a cloud restaurant which after receiving raving reviews launched their restaurant two months ago. You enter the restaurant and you’ll spot a trippy tiger painting that you won’t be able to take your eyes off. Look to the right and you will find a lovely bar serving amazing spirits. You ask, and they shall offer. We love their appetizers that burst with tropical flavours such as charred chicken satay, chilli basil chicken dumplings, and crying tiger lamb chops.
