Simply amazing! After seeing this place on TA had to give it a try (especially as it was a 3 min walk from our hotel) well the green and also the panang curries were next level. Love Thai food at home but this is our first trip to Thailand and you can tell it’s just more fragrant than what we get at home. The ladies serving were attentive and polite, we made the wise choice and booked through TA which was a good idea as they’re sooo busy. Also we got a 10% discount booking through TA (not really needed as the prices are so reasonable). We were advised that there would be a half hour wait for food (totally acceptable) but they apologised at the end for the wait (again not needed). My wife had an iced caramel macchiato at the end which was also AMAZING cannot recommend this place enough. If you don’t go you’re missing out big time! Also I don’t want miss out the fact that it was really clean and well organised.

Went to sabaijai last week . It’s located just 2 mins away form
Novotel . We ordered morning glory , Tom yum soup , pad Thai and vegetable cashew nut stir fry . Each dish was such an amazing combination of favours we didn’t know what to eat first. Most other restaurants in this price range will serve you watery curries , and bland Thai food , this place you can get the lemon grass lime leaves and authentic Thai hot spicy flavours that are balanced beautifully . Definitely will go back here .

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had, don’t be fooled by the Cafe style setup. Service is great and they couldn’t be more helpful, even to the point of making their dishes less hot if you can’t tolerate the heat which makes the Thai menu even bigger to sample from. If you stick with the Thai menu, prices are reasonable, family of 4 with 2 starters, 4 mains & 2 rounds of drinks £22.00…..way cheaper than an English takeaway for 2 😆 and SOOOO much better!!! 😋👍🏻

The café latte comes is a very large mug making for an incredibly weak & terrible coffee. When I enquired as to the previous day's ice latte, it's confirmed that it automatically has a double shot.
I asked if I could instead get a latte in a regular/smaller cup. The waitress left. Another waitress returns asking what the issue is. I repeat myself. I'm then told she'll put a second coffee shot into the same large mug. I explain I only want a single shot of caffeine as it's late in the day. The waitress leaves.
The original waitress returns with a fresh latte in a small cup - fantastic. Although it doesn't have a great foam on top and when I taste it, it's very strong/bitter and seems to be a double shot. It's not a pleasant coffee to drink.
Both waitresses become rude and passive aggressive. They barely acknowledge me. The bill comes out with the extra charge for a double shot.
On another note, the curry is boiling hot, with steam rising. I've not seen this before and had to wait 10 mins to start eating. At this stage my roti is stone cold.
What a pathetic experience. Thanks for ruining my afternoon - simply because you serve a latte that almost no one who likes coffee would drink.

Deare Value Customer
Let us explain your review
If you are a traveler who has traveled extensively, you likely have a lot of experience.
Frist of all your lovely customers your order HOT LATTE but you complete a bout coffee to much milk and not strong? You need strong coffee we add only 15 B. For you coffee.
Hot cofee we serve normal 1short (70B)
Cold normally 2shorts (80B)
1. The coffee you had the other day was an iced latte. We have a formula that uses 2 shots to find coffee. For hot coffee, use only 1 shot because there is no ice to make the coffee taste bland. If you want a stronger coffee, you should order a cappuccino or macchiato.
2. The day before you ordered an iced latte, it's THB80, but you only paid THB70 then leave immediately and we can't contact you, so bad. You should came back pay us more ;)
3.The roti with curry that you eat, we always do freshly cooked and to wait for the curry more cool, just use a spoon to stir it a little. It took less than 10 minutes... but if you leave it and ignore it, it will take more than 10 minutes. We are not fast food or junk food left behind to wait for customers to order. But we are freshly cooked Thai food that honors our valued customers to experience real Thai food.
** You spends time working on your laptop long time before starting eat foods and coffee**
4. If our service that you criticize is poor, you don't have a good reception. Or because you only have to pay for 1 shot of coffee, which we don't charge for that part. Our freshly prepared meals are too hot for you to eat quickly. Or is it your stress or haste that causes you to criticize us unfairly?
Thank you and good bye

Our best dining experience in Phuket, bar none. A classy joint with excellent service and very reasonably priced, delicious food all served with great warmth. Really lived up to its reputation.

We stayed in Karon for14 days having the evening meal on the first night really great food so we followed the experience for each night of our stay in Karon. Truly beautiful people who aim to please and make your time with them memorable. The restaurant caters for all dietary requirements, the food is fresh tasty and cooked as requested. We recommend this restaurant as it is real value for money in air conditioned comfort. Terry and Karen Australia

Wow wow wow! What else can I say?! The food was incredible the drinks including cocktails are cheap as chips and they don’t scrimp on the alcohol either.
My husband was hungry and ordered the Thai red curry, steamed rice annnnd then the stir fried garlic chicken, 3 rotis and then had the rest of my food as it was sooo filling and I’m a small eater anyway. I wanted to eat all of mine but I just couldn’t physically fit any more in! I had chicken massaman curry and steamed rice and we both said it was honestly the best food we’d ever eaten anywhere in the world!
The view isn’t that appealing at all buuuut the food, drinks and service makes up for it! It’s a hidden gem that’s for sure!
We loved it so much we are going back again tonight as it’s our last night. We really really wish we had listened to our friends reviews earlier and gone here! Rather than the 5star hotel we are staying at that served me raw chicken and cost a bloody fortune to eat and drink at!
Seriously you NEEEEEEED to experience this food, you’ll go to a whole new place! Enjoy! Xxx

We found this gem yesterday by coincidence and tried hot beverages. Very tasty and well decorated. We even got delicious crunchy cookies for free.
We came back again today to try some iced beverages which were served with free freshly baked cake. Again full points 😃
Super nice staff, everything is very clean and hygienic. The food options looked also very promising.

This small cafe/restaurant became one of our go to eateries. The quality of the food was fabulous being freshly prepared and cooked. Traditional Thai lovely spices and clean food. Not much deep fried which suited us. Also catered for our children with less spicy dishes or pasta. The host is lovely serving us complimentary small traditional desserts which was such a bonus. Lovely place with good food.

This cafe/restaurant was a short walk from the Mandarava Hotel where we stayed. Tried it on our third day and went back nearly every night. The place is spotless and run by a few women. It is only a small place but very popular and busy and they also do really good coffee. I tried the green curry, panang curry (twice), vegetable fried rice and red snapper in chilli sauce all delicious. My wife had king prawns in garlic, panang curry with roti and various starters. Good quality food cooked fresh and cheap. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

A small restaurant, more like a cafe. The family’s mother is cooking each dish individually so you have to wait around 15 minutes for your food. But worth a wait. We spent 2,5 weeks in Karon and visited many restaurants. This is simply the best when comes to the actual food.

This little unassuming cafe serves the best Thai food, it was only a short stroll from our hotel, we tried a few other places but ate here 4 times in a one week stay. We had the panang curry, green curry, fried red snapper in chilli sauce, a few tiger prawn dishes and the vegetable rice is huge and more than enough for 2, everything was delicious and fresh, they get very busy as it's not a big place so we booked each time after our first visit. All the ladies that work/cook there are lovely. Visit once and you'll be hooked, it's a must!

Alle 6 Dishes were delicious, starters, main dishes and desserts. Even the self made mango juice was excellent.
If you combine with an extremely nice service and low/more than fair prices you become of course a 5/5 rate.
We will come back during our trip, that s for sure.

Small, modern decor looking more like a cafe than restaurant - but DO NOT walk past! This is the best authentic Thai food we found, and is ridiculously cheap. Every dish is homemade and excellent. The staff are lovely and speak great English. The cocktails were fab. Only drawback is it’s quite small so you may not get a table immediately as it is almost always busy - quite rightly popular, and definitely with a tuk tuk ride if you’re not staying nearby.

Amazing food in this joint . We stayed here for 4 nights and all the time we had our dinner from this amazing cafe and food joint . They are warm and good people with amazing good dishes . One day we came late and the cafe was closed but as we were hungry they packed chicken panang curry for us along with some pad thai noodles . The curry was so amazing that my husband thereafter only ordered for panang curry . However I must admit that they have also done an amazing job with the fish and chips and sandwiches . So I would rate them a full 5 on 5 . Someday when I come back to phuket would like to again have our meals there .
