    Best Thai restaurant in Paramaribo, I return every time when I visit the city. Food and service are excellent, at very reasonable prices. Nice indoor/outdoor atmosphere setting.

    Very much open after the pandemic. Living up to its reputation. Had a great Thai meal. Bring some dollars though, it's one of the more expensive options in Paramaribo (but it is good price-quality)

    6 stars if I could. Food is out of this world, as you can (but not yet taste) from my pictures. Service is outstanding. Environment is surreal. I hear the chef closes the place down every few months to meticulously train up new chefs. And that the fruits, veggies, and herbs come from the garden behind us. Menu changes every few days. This is the Thai equivalent of Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

    A little bit expensive but the gorgeous setting, excellent service and good food make up for it. We went for a combination of 6 and 9 dishes. I loved every single dish, although some were a little bit overcooked (calamari and prawns). The drinks are good too. Try the lychee dragon smoothie, or the cocktails.

    We chose the 9-course menu. Six of the dishes we loved. We did not like three dishes at all and would never order them. The roasted/stir-fried prawns as an appetizer, was delicious. The prawns from the main course were overcooked & soft. Not tasty. The fish paste in the beautiful shell was too soft. Very nicely presented. I did not eat the biggest part. The dessert was a flour ball with sweetened condensed milk with sesame seeds I found detrimental to the meal. Not my thing, I would never order it. Overall we enjoyed our dinner at Garden of Eden. Furthermore, very tasty. Very expensive for Surinamese concepts, $ 100/Srd.740 in 2 hours for 2 people.

  • 5/5 Padraic M. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't say enough good things bout this place. Both sides (formal side and the noodle bar) are top choices for me. I usually prefer the noodle bar, but that is because I don't seem as awkward when I go there by myself (about 2x per month). The food is really top notch, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is one that will make you feel cozy. Nature is the theme, mixed with a bit of zen, and it helps me find some small sense of peace. If you haven't been here, you should go, today. Your tongue will thank you for the treat.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent meal, beautiful surroundings and welcomes nice and professional. An experience to renew a real delight for the puck. Taxi conventionné to envisage. Choose the garden side. (Original) Repas excellent, cadre magnifiques et accueille agréable et professionnel. Une expérience à renouveler un vrai délice pour le palet. Taxi conventionné à prévoir. Choisir le côté jardin.

  • 2/5 Léonard C. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Change of policy and menu since our last visit, the result is very disappointing: the frame, the service and the taste remain good but the portions are very small. The introduction of a '' tasting '' concept replacing the card obviously makes it possible to optimize profitability ... It is sad. (Original) Changement de politique et de menu depuis notre dernière visite, le résultat est très décevant : le cadre, le service et le goût restent bon mais les portions sont très petites. La mise en place d'un concept ''dégustation' remplaçant la carte permet visiblement d'optimiser la rentabilité... C'est navrant.

    I come back to Garden Of Eden evrytime I visit Suriname. The food is excellent. Everybody working there are people who know what they are doing. They will advise you on your selection if necessary and are a great help all around. Great place, great food, great service. You can't afford to not go here if you are visiting Suriname. You will definitely miss out on a great experience. Did I say the food was great......... The food is to DIE FOR! Don't let me tell you. Go and find out for yourself!

    The food was excellent. A real thai food with amazing flavour. My only comment would be to have the Tom yum koeng a tiny bit spicier and the chicken version with coconut milk.. Keep it traditional, please.. Other than that, excellent and very friendly service...

  • 4/5 Stefano Andy G. 5 years ago on Google • 44 reviews
    Garden of Eden is nice Thai food restaurant with a pleasant staff members who know how put a smile on your face. Definitely a place to be if your looking for quality food and mixture of Surinamese herbs etc.

  • 5/5 Thomas S. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicious Thai cuisine, 3 different (size) tasting menues, great cocktails and good wines, a gorgeous garden and indoor setting with an incredibly cosy yet exotic vibe, all topped with perfect service. For Paramaribo certainly on the expensive side, yet worth every single RSD one spends there!

    Sublime setting. Excellent meals. Refined services. Possibility to be massaged. Rates a little more expensive than the average.

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 7 years ago on Google
    The food is excellent, but I was most impressed and surprised by the whole outdoor atmosphere, which was so unlike "Suriname". I love the idea of an open, island kitchen and the separate seating in tent like rooms. Could have a little less scary paintings.

  • 4/5 Dave Jong A L. 5 years ago on Google
    Dining at its best After visiting this place multiple times I've come to the conclusion that you can't go wrong here. Why you might ask, here are the pros and cons: Pros: 1 good food 2 good service 3 nice scenery 4 good drinks (juices) cons: Expensive for locals

  • 5/5 Pieter Van M. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the best restaurant in Suriname. Amazing cocktails, dishes to die for, friendly staff. Yes, you pay a bit more than the average prices in Suriname, but it is well worth it.

    A great place with the best customer service in Suriname. Food was excellent with choices accommodating to our taste & allergies. Other restaurant owners can learn alot from the Garden Of Eden. Beautiful setting with tables well.spread out. This is a must visit when in Paramaribo.

  • 3/5 Victoria M. 1 year ago on Google
    I live in Suriname and I’ve been visiting this restaurant with my family for at least 15 years. The ambiance, the service and the food have always been very good, however, as of lately I noticed that foreigners receive a better service than the locals. For instance, we were not greeted at the entrance, we had to ask for a table, it took a while for our waiter to attend our table and when he did, he did not give us his full attention as he was looking over at the tables where tourists were seated. When asking questions about the menu, these were answered very quickly or ignored, all very hastily. We actually had to ask for the bill and we were not greeted good night nor escorted out as usual. Its a good thing the food is tasty, but if I opt to go to a more expensive restaurant, I expect not only the food but the service as well to be worth the price.

  • 5/5 Justin 1 year ago on Google
    Cream of the crop place to go when you’re feeling fancy and want top quality food

  • 5/5 Alvaro L. 5 years ago on Google
    Traditional Thai food. The restaurant is well located in Paramaribo in a nice neighborhood with private security. The ambience of the place is really cozy, it transports you to Thailand. Service was really good and quick. The menu is by number of plates served and is shared. We (2) had the 6-plate menu. I thought it was not enough, but it was. Although seems a little pricey, it is compensated by the quality and service provided. If you pay with MasterCard, you get a % extra.

  • 1/5 Teddy S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Really disappointed. After a reservation error on their part, we had the choice between eating on a small coffee table or on a real table but away in a converted garage. For dessert, the one ordered at the start was refused to us because the kitchen was overcrowded ... An obvious lack of professionalism. Regarding the meal, several improvements could be made: the dishes should not be brought all at the same time and the plate could have been changed each time to avoid mixing flavors. What makes the difference with the gourmet restaurants that I have been able to visit in Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay and which offers this kind of discovery formula. Finally, a menu with no drink could be offered (eg a selected wine to accompany each dish) A positive point the dishes offered are original, good and of quality. (Original) Vraiment déçu. Après une erreur de réservation de leur part, on a eu le choix entre manger sur une petite table basse ou sur une vrai table mais à l'écart dans un garage transformé. Pour le dessert, celui commandé au départ nous a été refusé car la cuisine était surchargée... Un manque de professionnalisme évident. Concernant le repas, plusieurs améliorations pourraient être apportées : les plats ne devraient pas être amenés tous en même temps et l'assiette aurait pu être changée à chaque fois pour éviter le mélange des saveurs. Ce qui fait la différence avec les restaurants gastronomiques que j'ai pu visiter au Brésil, en Argentine ou en Uruguay et qui propose ce genre de formule de découverte. Pour finir, un menu avec et sans boisson pourrait être proposé (par exemple un vin sélectionné pour accompagner chaque plat) Un point positif les plats proposés sont originaux, bons et de qualité.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful atmosphere, good service and delicious food. In the garden you have your own screened spot. Intimate and romantic. Expensive for Surinamese standards, but 70 euros incl. Drinks for 2 people at this place is a bargain for us. (Original) Prachtige sfeer, goede bediening en heerlijk eten. In de tuin heb je je eigen afgeschermde plekje. Intiem en romantisch. Voor Surinaamse begrippen duur, maar 70 euro incl. drankjes voor 2 personen op deze plek is voor ons een koopje.

  • 3/5 Tommy den B. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant with a very romantic atmosphere. Staff very friendly and competent. The food was very tasty except for a few dishes. Starters were tasty only the soup was very spicy. We indicated that we did not want the other dishes to be spicy. After we had the second starter, the flames flew out of our ears. We indicated that we did not want any spicy additions for the main courses. The waiter promised us that this was passed on and that we were not going to get any spicy additions. However, with our first main course, unfortunately very spicy. As a result, half of the food was delicious for us and the rest reluctantly eaten and partly left standing. We ordered extra saté which was very tasty and not spicy. It is a pity that food can not be adjusted for the customer who wants less spicy food. We opted for the expensive menu of 9 dishes per person. This costs $ 37 per person. We showed that we were disappointed ... Dessert was very tasty and the drinks were good and fresh, like the juices. We were shocked for a moment. With the food we would be at $ 111, -. Five drinks cost about $ 20. That is strange since our bill has become $ 174.25! It turns out that 17% service charge (obligatory tip) is charged here. This is exceptionally much. Also 8% tax is added. My final conclusion is that we have been able to expect a better experience for this money. The adjustment of the dishes to the wishes of the customer should be possible for this high price. This did not happen. Unfortunately! The food could have been much better for us if it was simply less spicy. (Original) Heel mooi restaurant met een hele romantische ambiance. Personeel erg vriendelijk en bekwaam. Het eten was erg lekker op een paar gerechten na. Voorgerechten waren lekker alleen was de soep erg pittig. We gaven aan dat we de overige gerechten graag niet pittig wilde hebben. Nadat wij het tweede voorgerecht hebben gekregen vlogen de vlammen uit onze oren. We gaven aan dat we voor de hoofdgerechten liever helemaal geen pittige toevoegingen wilde hebben. De ober beloofde ons dat dit werd doorgegeven en dat we geen pittige toevoegingen gingen krijgen. Echter bij ons eerste hoofdgerecht, helaas erg pittig. Hierdoor was voor ons de helft van het eten lekker en de rest met tegenzin gegeten en deels laten staan. We hebben extra saté besteld die was namelijk erg lekker en niet pittig. Het is jammer dat eten niet aangepast kan worden voor de klant die minder pittig eten wenst. We hebben gekozen voor het dure menu van 9 gerechten per persoon. Dit kost $37,- per persoon. We hebben laten blijken dat we teleur gesteld waren... Toetje was wel erg lekker en de drankjes waren goed en vers gemaakt, zoals de sapjes. We schrokken toch wel even van de rekening. Met het eten zouden we op $111,-. Vijf drankjes kosten ongeveer $20. Dat is vreemd aangezien onze rekening $174,25 is geworden! Het blijkt dat er hier 17% servicecharge (verplichte fooi) gerekend wordt. Dit is uitzonderlijk veel. Ook 8% tax komt erbij. Mijn uiteindelijk conclusie is dat we voor dit geld een betere ervaring hebben kunnen verwachten. Het aanpassen van de gerechten naar de wensen van de klant zou voor deze hoge prijs wel mogelijk moeten zijn. Dit is niet gebeurd. Jammer! Het eten had veel lekkerder voor ons kunnen zijn als het gewoon minder pittig was bereid.

    (Translated by Google) Garden of Eden is located in one of the nicer districts of Paramaribo. Parking was fine to do. Upon arrival we (I was with my girlfriend) were impressed by the garden and the lighting. Just beautiful. Upstairs, Garden of Eden has an authentic living room decorated in Thai style. You do not often see that in a restaurant. The service / service was fine, nice couple with the waiter. The food is simply delicious! You can choose 3/6 or 9 sharedining. We really enjoyed the food. The mojitos are legendary delicious !! Icm with the ambiance, service and food it is a must to spoil yourself in The Garden of Eden Paramaribo. (Original) Garden of Eden ligt in één van de mooiere wijken van Paramaribo. Parkeren was prima te doen. Bij aankomst waren wij (Ik was met mijn vriendin) onder de indruk van de tuin en de belichting. Gewoon prachtig. Boven heeft Garden of Eden een authentieke woonkamer ingericht in de Thaise stijl. Dat zie je niet vaak in een restaurant. De bediening/service was prima, leuke paartje kunnen maken met de ober. Het eten is gewoon héérlijk! 3/6 of 9 sharedining kan je kiezen. Wij hebben echt oprecht genoten van het eten. De mojitos zijn legendarisch lekker!! Icm met de ambiance, bediening en het eten is het een must om jezelf te verwennen in The Garden of Eden Paramaribo.
