It is the largest of Al Saray’s three branches — two floors totalling 183 sqm, seating up to 110 guests for a sit-down dinner or 170 for a cocktail reception — which makes it the branch built for corporate catering, weddings, and private events.

Where to find this halal restaurant in Sathorn
Al Saray Sathorn is at 27/1 Soi Phiphat, Silom Road, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500 — a 5–7 minute walk from MRT Lumphini, in the middle of the Sathorn–Silom office district. The soi runs off Silom Road, so it is quiet enough for a business conversation while sitting minutes from the main office towers. Five VIP parking spaces are available free of charge for private event guests. Open in Google Maps.
The space: two floors of Lebanese-inspired design
Sathorn is the most architecturally ambitious of the three branches. The facade is clad in terracotta tiles, and inside, floor-to-ceiling windows span two full storeys, filling the room with daylight and framing the greenery outside. Hanging plants trail from the ceiling, coloured mosaic lanterns hang the height of the room, and arched alcoves are set into the walls above natural stone flooring.
The first floor (121 sqm, 10.5 × 12.5 m) holds the main dining room and bar. The second floor (62 sqm, 9.65 × 12.5 m) is a mezzanine that looks out over the greenery through the same tall windows — the quieter of the two levels, and the one most often booked for private groups.
Lebanese food at Al Saray Sathorn
The Lebanese side of the menu is built around mezze — small plates meant to be shared across the table — prepared by Chef Mahdi Zehri, who trained in Beirut.
Mezze and starters
- Hummus (from ฿165) — chickpea and tahini, the standard opening plate
- Baba Ghanouj (฿220, chef’s recommendation) — smoked eggplant
- Walnut Muhamara (฿220) — red pepper and walnut, a Sathorn favourite
- Falafel (฿260, chef’s recommendation) — fried chickpea fritters
- Fattoush (฿180) and Tabouleh (฿190) — the two classic Lebanese salads
- Grilled Halloumi (฿280) and Vine Leaves (฿260)
From the Lebanese grill
- Mixed Grilled Platter (฿499) — the standard sharing platter
- Al Saray Special Mixed Grilled (฿1,980) — the full centrepiece platter for a table
- Shish Tawook (฿380) — garlic-lemon marinated chicken skewers
- Lamb Kofta (฿420) and Lamb Skewers (฿480)
- Al Saray Lamb Chops (฿899) and Grilled Prawns (฿799)
Indian dishes from the tandoor
The Indian menu is led by Chef Sampooran Singh Panwar, who has cooked Indian and Middle Eastern food with Al Saray for more than 13 years.
- Butter Chicken (฿360, chef’s recommendation)
- Lamb Rogan Josh (฿420, chef’s recommendation)
- Lamb Shank Vindaloo (฿590)
- Chicken Tikka (฿340) and Baby Chicken Tandoori (฿490)
- Prawn Biryani (฿420) and Al Saray Lamb Shank Biryani (฿650, chef’s recommendation)
- Othmaliyeh Bil Ashta (฿360) — the dessert most often ordered at this branch
Vegetarian options at Al Saray Sathorn
Ten dedicated vegetarian Indian mains are on the menu — Paneer Makhani (฿320), Palak Paneer (฿320), Dal Makhani (฿260), Chana Masala (฿260), Aloo Gobi (฿260) and more — alongside the vegetarian mezze above. For mixed groups this means vegetarian guests order from the same menu as everyone else rather than a separate one.
Private events and catering at Al Saray Sathorn
This is where Sathorn differs from the Silom and Soonvijai branches. It was built with event hosting in mind, and either floor can be booked on its own while the rest of the restaurant continues to trade — or the whole restaurant can be taken exclusively.
The catering team covers weddings, engagement parties, birthdays, corporate lunches, networking events, AGMs, product launches, press conferences, and Christmas and New Year parties. Menus are available as set menus or full buffets, and all of it is halal-certified — the same kitchen and the same two chefs as the à la carte menu.
Event capacity — how many guests each floor holds
| Space | Sit-down dinner | Buffet | Cocktails | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st floor | 80 guests | 50 guests | 120 guests | 121 sqm |
| 2nd floor | 30 guests | 25 guests | 50 guests | 62 sqm |
| Whole restaurant | 110 guests | 75 guests | 170 guests | 183 sqm |
As a rule of thumb: the second floor suits a private dinner of 20–30, the first floor suits a company lunch or wedding reception of 50–80 seated, and taking both floors together covers a cocktail function of up to 170.
Set menus and Safari meal boxes for corporate catering
Event menus are offered at three price points — ฿1,200++, ฿1,600++, and ฿2,400++ per person — which differ in the number of courses and the grills and seafood included.
For office catering and working lunches there is also the Safari Meal Box at ฿520 net, which includes dessert and water. Six options are available:
- Vegetable Samosa · Chicken Malai · Saffron Rice
- Vegetable Samosa · Chicken Tikka · Biryani Rice
- Hummus · Chicken Kofta · Arabic Salad · Mixed Pickles
- Grilled Seabass · Tahini Sauce · Sayadieh Rice
- Hummus · Falafel · Arabic Salad · Mixed Pickles — fully vegetarian
- Hummus · Shish Tawook · Arabic Salad · Mixed Pickles
Because every box is halal-certified, a single order covers a mixed office without separate arrangements for Muslim colleagues.
Equipment, entertainment and parking for events
- Live band — ฿6,500 for three hours, ฿2,000 for each additional hour
- Electronic facilities — ฿3,000
- Mobile projector — ฿3,000
- Microphone — ฿3,000
- VIP parking — five spaces free of charge
- Corkage — ฿500 per bottle of wine, ฿1,000 per bottle of whisky
How to book a private event
A deposit of 30% of the total charge is required 14 days in advance, with the balance payable after the function. Cancellations made 7 or more days in advance are refunded in full; with less than 7 days’ notice the deposit is not refunded; and within 48 hours of the event the full charge applies. A postponement requested more than 7 days ahead keeps the deposit valid for use within the following three months.

Why Sathorn works for business dining
Three things separate this branch for corporate use: it is walking distance from the Sathorn–Silom office towers; halal certification removes any need for a separate arrangement for Muslim colleagues or visiting clients from the Gulf; and the two-floor layout means the same venue handles a four-person client lunch and a 150-person reception. The kitchen also covers Lebanese, Indian, Thai and French menus for catering, so a mixed guest list is served from one order.
Other Al Saray branches in Bangkok
