A bit of a caveat: I live in San Francisco, which has a fair number of Thai restaurants of various stripes. Connoisseur? Perhaps? I think Shakti ended up being oversold to me, as the reviews were glowing. I came during lunch, which admittedly (in Spain) might be the lesser of the meals. The waitstaff was amazing and was incredibly attentive. However, the food was meh at best, which was kind of surprising to me, given the quality of the food I'd experienced at other restaurants in the area and the reviews. I ordered a prawn curry with sticky rice; the curry was nothing to write home about, and the sticky rice was a little underdone, so surprisingly hard. I really, really wanted to like this r...
Today I went to join a Ashtanga class at Shakti Yoga while on vacation here in Albir. I have practiced before but have had a long break from going to classes due to a non-yoga related injury this winter. Today I went to class at Shakti and Roberto, the teacher, did a fantastic job guiding us all through the practice today. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Albir they have different classes so you will be able to go no matter what level you are currently on. I have not tried their restaurant yet but hope to go tonight perhaps!
We ordered the house platter by recommendation of our fine waiter and were not disappointed. Every dish as it came out of the kitchen was attractive, tasty, and at times surprising in a good way! No standard bottled sauces here, everything is original, authentic, and prepared and served with care. We felt like kings and queen! BTW the yoga school is brilliant as well. Finally a class I look forward to, as well as doing something great for myself.
I wonder what happened to this place. The excellent reviews convinced us to try but the food was mediocre at most. The orange skin and greens that decorated the plates were old and we suspect reused. Most of the plates we were served were re heated or overcooked. Prices are way out of line for food you can compare to the chinese restaurants of Albir but the chinese will charge about a third. A disappointment.

This was a culinary experiment for me, a first visit to a Thai restaurant and it couldn 't have been better. The atmosphere was great, the waiter attentive, friendly and helpful, and the food delicious. We were advised to have the taster menu and this was good advice. I strongly recommend this to everyone. A great experience and one we 'll repeat again and again.
What a great welcome from Patrick for our table for six already laid out for us our host suggested a terrific menu the food was to die for such a range of tastes the whole experience was great I can’t praise Patrick enough he made our visit memorable We will be back
Good service along with good food, waiters very attentive and the service always came with a smile, always happy to assist where they could to make your experience a vey enjoyable evening
Creo que este lugar ahora tiene otros dueños, pero tiene una tienda de especialidades muy bonita y el masaje que me dio Natasha fue increíble. No tengo fotos del masaje.
