This is a resort restaurant but widely popular in Dubai so reservations are necessary. The food and service is top notch and the location along the canal is nice / romantic. I highly recommend this outstanding dining experience.

What a setting and what a great meal! We were delivered by Abra to the restaurant at no cost and I had a soup that rated 10/10 followed by a superb main. The service was bright and attentive, you can always tell when the staff are happy with their job cant you? The bill was very reasonable and we were... More

After visiting other restaurants at the Al Qsar hotel our expectations were great. Entering this beautiful hotel and then taking an Abra (boat) to the restaurant for our evening meal, is quite lovely. The restaurants outside terrace was lit by fairy lights and candles placed on the tables. Sitting on the terrace watching the abras go by, the setting is... More

This restaurant enjoys a great setting on the water in Madinat Jumeirah. The menu is quite extensive, great flavors and great presentation. You can tell they really made an effort in terms of decor as well as sourcing real/authentic ingredients from Thailand. When the weather is nice outdoor seating makes it a really unique experience - definitely one of the... More

What a variety of food!! Everything was freshly prepared and served with care. The setting on the banks of the canal was romantic. We were transported from our villa in a boat which landed on the restaurants own jetty. The reception area is quite large and inviting. Overall a memorable experience!

I went to Pai Thai once and I will surely come back. The location is pretty awesome: since it lays along Madinat’s waterside, the restaurant is far from the crowd and beautifully peaceful. We took an appetizer to share (spring rolls, nothing special actually), a kind of chicken (very good) and then the Duck Curry, which was literally delicious. I... More

Beautiful setting especially if on corner table overlooking the water ways and great service. Extensive menu but some was much better then others . it was a pleasant meal but overall quality did not match the price tag and having visited once I would not make any effort to repeat.
