Khwan

Friedrichshain


For some of the best Thai barbecue this side of Bangkok, pounce upon this rustic lair ensconced – for now – among the clubs and bars on the RAW Gelände strip. Let your nose be hooked by the aromatic smoke (khwan in Thai) wafting from the wood grill, where flames lick chicken, pork, fish, lamb and vegetables to succulent smokiness.

Note: Khwan may move to another location – check the Facebook page or website.
