The best curry in town with very reasonable prices and a friendly atmosphere, despite slightly chaotic service. We would definitely recommend their aloo gobi, veg samosas and three bean curry

A space that used to be a shop for cheap Chinese goods now serves most authentic Thai food (when the hostess asks you how much chili you would like from 1-4, don’t go for 4. Unless you are Thai). In the evenings, there are various DJ-s and electronic music events (Check out Kauplus Aasia on Facebook). In the summer, their courtyard is a wonderful hangout with DJs playing smooth grooves for that leisurely Sunday afternoon

A restaurant and brewery in the new Noblessner area. A good opportunity to try Põhjala craft beers that are made on the spot (you can also book a brewery tour) with a nice take on grill and bar food. Accessible by lift for prams, fathers usually let their babies sleep on the brewer terrace while enjoying their pint
