Nam, Asian restaurant in Dizengoff Street, Tel Aviv, Israel
Nam is an Asian restaurant on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv, serving Vietnamese and Thai dishes in a modern dining room. The space combines contemporary furnishings with decorative details drawn from Southeast Asia.
The restaurant opened in 2021, when a food enthusiast moved to Tel Aviv and introduced authentic Southeast Asian recipes to the local dining scene. It was among the first places in the city to focus specifically on Vietnamese and Thai cooking together.
The menu brings together Vietnamese and Thai cooking, with dishes like Yam Som Ho pomelo salad and Pad Parik Pau with fried fish in orange sauce. The room is decorated with elements that reference the regions where these dishes come from.
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends, as the dining room is not very large. Staff speak both English and Hebrew, which makes ordering straightforward for international visitors.
Some of the spices used in the kitchen are imported directly from Asia, while the fresh produce comes from local farms near Tel Aviv. This allows the cooks to keep traditional flavors while using seasonal local ingredients.
