Reviews For Papaya Restaurant (Indian & Thai Food)

The hotel’s Indian and Thai food offerings are exceptional, delivering authentic flavors in a refined setting. The Indian cuisine impresses with its rich, aromatic curries like butter chicken and paneer tikka, perfectly paired with fresh naan and fragrant biryani. The Thai dishes are equally delightful, featuring a balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors in dishes like green curry and pad Thai, all made with fresh ingredients. Both cuisines are beautifully presented, and the attentive service adds to the overall experience, making it a must-try for lovers of Indian and Thai food.

We saw a flyer when we arrived and somehow knew we had to try it. Indeed it did not disappoint. We had some squid, the panang veg curry and a chicken korma. All were amazing to say the least and the perfect amount of spicy. Recommended to anyone looking for authentic food

The Papaya is my all-time favourite restaurant on Koh Phi Phi. I came here first 20 years ago when it was still a hidden gem with the best curries in Thailand, then again 10 years ago - and discovered that they were still going strong, actually better than ever, with the loveliest of chefs, Nod, who thank God survived the tsunami. He makes the best Thai food on the island. The Indian food is also great.

A very friendly owner (operated in Phi Phi for 14 years) will greet everyone to come to his restaurant.There's several options, including Indian foods (they have a list of delicious nan bread), Thai food (I had the Pad Thai & it was superb), pizzas & and a few others.The Masala tea tasted so good.Plus point for a Muslim tourist, this place serves halal foods.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. The food portions were just right, and the service was prompt. If you’re looking for authentic Indian food, this is the place to go. The fact that the hotel staff speaks Hindi is a huge bonus. I would definitely come back. Highly recommended…!!!
