Where to find Al Saray Soonvijai
The restaurant is on the 4th floor of the Bangkok Plaza Building, Soi Soonvijai 7, New Phetchaburi Road, Huai Khwang, Bangkok 10310 — inside the plaza that adjoins Bangkok Hospital, with mall parking below and lift access to the floor. Because it sits inside a building rather than on a street frontage, it is quieter than either of the other two branches. Open in Google Maps.

Who eats at the Soonvijai branch
The plaza position next to Bangkok Hospital gives this branch a distinct mix of guests: local families and office workers from the Soonvijai area, patients and visiting relatives, and international medical travellers — many from the Middle East — who need reliably halal food close to the hospital. The calm room and the 9 AM opening suit all three.
