    My absolute favourite place to eat. It's nothing fancy but absolutely great experience, the food is amazingly flavourful. I've tried the shrimp soup which was like nothing I've tasted before, just incredible. Their fried rice is also really really good. Loved the red and yellow curry both beef and chicken options. For drinks you've to try their milk tea it's absolutely delicious.

    Update 23/3/2022: almost three years later and it's still excellent! shrimp in Chilli sauce is very spicy yet very delicious, the fried rice is spot on. Pandan is a very refreshing beverage with nutty vanilla flavor. I just wish they'd solve the flies problem :((( Original review: Best Thai food I've ever tried. Idk why everyone is bashing this restaurant for lack of cleanliness, yeah it's not as impeccable as a 5-star restaurant in Four Season, but it's still pretty good in the cleanliness department. It's cozy as well, and has a nice vibe to it, and the decorations are okay, but with some minor adjustments it could be better. Now onto the food: I ordered Pad Thai, Tomyam Shrimp soup, one of my friends ordered "black sauce" Noodles, chicken curry, and the other one ordered spicy Noodles, and Tomyam chicken soup. Verdict? None, absolutely none of these dishes was a disappointment. I really enjoyed every meal and each exceeded my expectations. The noodles were really good, a bit sweet for my taste, but the flavors were perfectly balanced. The Tomyam soup has a really powerful combination of flavours (spicy, sweet and zesty), one does not simply chug it in one go :) I will definitely be visiting this restaurant soon again Ps. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the food arrived suspiciously fast 😂 I'm not sure what kind of black magic witchcraft they used to conjure up food in such a short time, but I'm not complaining really

    10/10 definitely eating here at least once a week from now on! staff are really friendly but it’s much better if you communicate in English because they won’t fully understand your Arabic, there’s no air conditioner or it wasn’t on when we were there, or maybe the TONS of spices they put in their food naturally makes you sweaty idk

    I have tried Thai food at many local restaurants as well as abroad and am always seeking cleanliness, authenticity ,& rich flavours . I found that here . I have been twice. And in both times I have had the same great experience Hidden away in a side street , you walk in to a homey setting packed with natives . We were pretty much the only Egyptians in there. We have so far tried: Chicken yellow curry , Fried white noodle ( chicken),Pad Thai ( chicken ), very spicy fried rice , beef with garlic , tigga rassa fish .

    I used to go there long time ago before they have that place it was nice and the food is okay Now they haven't changed much, they kept consistent and their food is good They have lot's of Asian cuisine options and the menu is translated into many languages to fit all the nationalities who go there I forgot to take photos for the food 🤣 They have a single problem that is hygiene, the place is nice but it doesn't look hygienic, if you are not okay with this, then it's not for you

    I used to go to this place regularly many many years ago. No longer up to those great standards. The pataya was nice. The noodles not great. Noodle portion was light for the price 120 egp. It used to be very tasty. Pataya still was.

    The food for me was delicious and I really love it. Although it is a Thai restaurant but it reminds me of my home so would recommend this restaurant to any Malaysian who want to feel like at home.

    Nice restaurant. Nice food, nice taste, nice place. Nice service at all. But, it's better for employee to have a happy and polite face during the service, Or at least, they smile while service. Thank you

    The place their is a different kind of vibe , Ever felt a place has this grandma vibe to it? This the physical representation of that grandma vibe. It helps also even more that their prices are very very affordable and the food is very good with an amazing quality.

  • 5/5 Nabila A. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is incredibly nice! Making me miss my hometown in Indonesia. The workers here talk Arabic good unlike in some other Asian restaurants. The price is not expensive too which is really good

  • 5/5 Iqbal F. 1 year ago on Google
    Ate there while iftar last Ramadhan and it feels kinda enjoyable experience, the tastes is dominant in sour-spicy typical key flavors for thai cuisine and the portions seems fair for the money we spent. Although, the places a bit crowded last time we visited due iftar time so we ought to book beforehand, i don't know how it was in normal day. Overall, this restaurant such a worth try for whomever seek asian authentic cuisines in Cairo.

  • 1/5 Maira S. 1 year ago on Google
    As an Asian, I would say this place serves their food poorly. The taste of the food does not meet the requirements and their customer service is truly unacceptable. We went there today on the 3rd day of Eid. They were having a lot customers coming in and we were asked to leave the place while we were waiting for our second round of order for the food. We weren't angry because we were asked to leave, but they spoke in a very disrespectful way especially the owners. I am truly disappointed not only because our food was served late, but also because they were rude and didn't even say sorry for their actions.

    One of my favorite places to eat at in Cairo, I loved the authenticity and simplicity the food and the atmosphere have. I’ve tried many Asian food places (Am a big fan) in and out Egypt and this places will always make my heart dance out of joy. ❤️

  • 5/5 Mostafa El Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice Asian food, i tried the Red curry chicken and was amazing. The Tom yum soup was ok, not like the one that you get in a Thai restaurant but it was nice still. Prices are really good and portions are good.
