Common questions about Nana Tam
Good to know
Everything guests usually ask before their first visit.
-
Where exactly is Nana Tam?
Nana Tam is in Lamai on Koh Samui, on the main road a few minutes from Lamai Beach. There is parking for scooters and cars outside, and songthaews from Chaweng and Nathon stop nearby.
-
Do I need to book a table?
Not necessarily — walk-ins are always welcome. But between 19:00 and 20:30 in high season the garden fills up and you may wait 20–30 minutes. Booking online takes a minute and is free.
-
What are your opening hours?
We open daily. Exact hours are listed on the contact page and in the footer of every page; the kitchen stops taking orders 45 minutes before closing.
-
Do you have vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, and not as an afterthought. Most curries, salads and wok dishes can be made vegetarian or vegan — we swap fish sauce and shrimp paste for soy and mushroom seasoning. Just tell your server.
-
Can you cook gluten-free?
Many dishes are naturally gluten-free — Thai curries, most salads, grilled seafood and rice dishes. Soy sauce and oyster sauce contain gluten, so tell us and we will adapt the dish or suggest another.
-
How spicy is the food?
As spicy as you want. Every dish is cooked to order, so we can make it mild for children or properly Thai hot. The menu marks the standard heat of each dish.
-
Is Nana Tam good for children?
Very. There are high chairs, plenty of non-spicy dishes, and a koi pond and waterfall that keep children busy while the adults finish eating.
-
Do you take credit cards?
Yes — cards, cash and PromptPay. Thai baht is the currency.
-
Can you host a large group or a private event?
Yes. For groups over 12, birthdays, weddings or a private hire of the garden, message us on Facebook or e-mail us and we will put a menu together.
-
Do you do takeaway?
Yes, everything on the menu can be packed to take away. Order at the restaurant or by phone.
-
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, free Wi-Fi for guests. Ask your server for the password.
-
What is the dress code?
There isn't one. Come as you are — this is a garden restaurant on a beach island.
