👍👍 After missing out on our first night in Krabi, it was full, we came again. And got lucky. And so glad we did. The red curry was delicious as was the penang. The spring rolls were very tasty too. Highly recommended. People often mention good, nice, Krabi, curry, Thai, restaurant, great, service, delicious, recommend,

    What a gem! So happy to have stumbled upon this place. We had pad thai and red curry, it was excellent. The family running this restaurant is so nice and the service is great! I can definitely recommend and would love to come back some day.

    We've been travelling around Thailand for a while and this subtle restaurants offered the best Pad Thai we've had so we've stopped again on our way back to airport. The restaurant was closed (opens at midday) but they still let us sit inside, have a drinks and they cooked lunch for us when the opened. I was talking to the owners and they were polite friendly. We've had a good talk during lunch. I would give more stars if I could..

    We went there for dinner. Had typical Thai food like red/green curry, Thai soup and salad. Very delicious and very reasonable priced. Lovely service. We will definitely go again.

    First impression, great ambience! When the menu arrived, greeted by the familiar english menu with wide variety of local and western food (after awhile in Krabi, this was a nice familiar feel). We ordered a mix of western and local food to try (pad thai, pa nang curry which was a whole new world to me, fish n chips and squid fritter), everything was surprisingly good. Particularly how fresh the seafood ingredients was. Gian was super friendly and the wife cooks all the dishes. We really enjoyed the whole dinner!

    We've ordered the pad Thai and the massaman curry. Really good. The curry comes with peanuts. Surprisingly but so nice!

    I was in Thailand for 8 days and this was the best Thai I had! I ate the fried morning glory, a curry and the cashew stirfry and it was incredible. So flavorful and light. Perfection!

    DELICIOUS mouth-watering Thai food and lovely service. We ordered chicken stir fried w vegetables, pad thai w prawns, fried morning glory (not pictured) & steamed rice. If we were staying longer in Krabi we’d come back all the time. Definitely recommend!!!

    Our pad thais (vegetarian and with seafood) were big and delicious. Staff was friendly, fast and speaking perfect English. Menu in English and with photos so it's easy to choose. Highly recommended!

    We spent some time in Krabi town and came across this vintage-style restaurant by accident, they served the best onion rings! My girlfriend and I both had burgers and we loved them. The two owners were nice and friendly too. Highly recommend.

    I have eaten here nearly every night of my 5 night stay in Krabi The food is amazing! I’ve tried various options on the menu and every time they impress The pricing is not too bad either! The staff are lovely and helpful and efficient! There is always soft jazz music playing which sets a very nice relaxed mood. This is one of my favourite places I’ve eaten in Thailand.

    Nice restaurant close to the waterfront, good value for money, they have vegetarian options. I had a delicious Thai salad, a cury with rice, and a huge glass of red wine (Australian wine). Definitely a good place to eat Thai food when you're staying in Krabi Town.

    I visited the place yesterday, I had a steak and my bf had a Thai dish. Very good steak! working in the food industry, I noticed they use good grade ingredients unlike other places around - olive oil, vinegar, vegetables, seafood, etc. so the price is very reasonable. The atmosphere is lovely and the staffs are really welcoming too. Overall good experience here, recommended.

    After months on the road I was craving some western food. Ordered a cheeseburger and fries. So predictable. I was pleasantly surprised as it was delicious. The server was very pleasant and the ambiance on the patio was relaxed. I would certainly recommend them.

    The BEST Pad Thai we've had. We had thai dishes (green curry, coconut curry & pad thai) everything was so delicious we ended up eating here twice in one day, it was that good.

  • 5/5 Doss R. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the garlic pepper fish and it was great. Panang curry and chicken burger were also both very good. Nice setting and good value!

  • 5/5 Alexander F. 1 year ago on Google
    such a big horizon of different food. but everything is great. love it! my recommendation is the double chicken burger or the spaghetti tomato and cashew chicken.

  • 5/5 Ian W. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden gem of a place. I had Penang curry and my wife had chicken and pineapple, both of which were lovely. Whole experience was excellent and the owner very kindly shared some mosquito spray with me, as we were heading to the river. Would come again and would recommend 👏👏👏

  • 5/5 Luke I. 5 years ago on Google
    Good price and amazing food quality and portion size! Bruschetta was very nice, a small tip would be to toast the bread for longer. Massaman curry was just perfect with a kick of spice and lots of flavour.

  • 5/5 Mirdjan H. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing, and if you are in Krabi and don't come to this restaurant you are missing out and should rethink your priorities. Me and my wife can have serious trouble eating around as she is allergic to meat. We were treated exceptionally well and we had the guarantee that the night would not end up with food poisoning, which is always refreshing ♥️ the food is incredible, the presentation is very nice, and the price for a main is the equivalent of 3 US Dollars. If you are in Krabi you MUST try this one.

  • 5/5 Eliška M. 6 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing food, totally deserving 5*. Had steamed squid - must have!, green salad and pineapple curry, all very yummy! Prices low for the quality. 150thb for the squid, 120 for curry.

  • 4/5 David K. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place and not too expensive. The food was tasty, but I found thtmat they add too much vegetable to each dish and you find yourself not being able to move the spoon in there:). If they could add less vehetable and more prawns thatd be great.

    (Translated by Google) Visiting Krabi during the low season. There are not many restaurants sitting. Therefore walk to find this restaurant after eating seafood on the large terrace Small but warm shop and the owner is cute. We want to eat limonchello, Italian liquor. (Private liquor is not available in the menu) and fun chatting about Italian people (the owner used to be in Italy) (Original) ไปเที่ยวกระบี่ช่วง low season ไม่ค่อยมีร้านนั่งชิว เลยเดินไปเจอร้านนี้หลังจากทานอาหารทะเลที่ลานกว้างๆ ร้านเล็กๆแต่อบอุ่นและเจ้าของร้านน่ารัก เราอยากกิน limonchello เหล้าอิตาลี เค้าก็ยอมเอามาให้ดื่มด้วย (เหล้าส่วนตัวไม่มีในเมนู) และนั่งคุยกันอย่างสนุกสนานถึงคนอิตาลี(เจ้าของร้านเคยอยู่อิตาลี)

    Food was kind of okay, the chicken laab was tad bit too sour for me, ambience was good, they speak english very well so it's plus point. Good for gathering with friends or family, if you come in group maybe best to reserve in advance

    GEM! So glad we chose to dine here. Chalita is super nice and took great of us. The vibe is super warm and inviting. Best food we’ve had on this trip through Thailand. The fried rice was out of this world as was the Penang Curry.
