Warsaw | Restaurants & Cafes | Thai

Formerly on Hoża the Dziki Ryż team have upped sticks and moved into a space vacated by Café Brama. Decorated with black shades, canvas lanterns, empty bird cages and flamboyant plant life the interiors are cheap but lively, while the menu is a decent enough canter through Thai and Asian recipes, though by no means worth trekking half of Warsaw for.

Open 12:00-21:30
A Thai/Chinese crossover that brings to mind the steamy hole-in-the-wall eateries found in Chinatown’s the world over. Supremely cramped this is the kind of place where diners knock elbows with each other while staff shout orders over the permanent buzz. Pleasantly decorated with bamboo shoot [...]

Kwai
A great space with sunny views of Marszałkowska, and an open, airy atmosphere accentuated by the choice of simple white and brown colours. Oriental keepsakes handpicked from designer stores create enough visual diversions to keep the interiors alive, while Warsaw’s best photograph &# [...]

The first thing you’ll notice about this place is its sheer size – you could sink a small ship in here and still have room for a carnival. However the space has been cleverly split up, and by the time word spreads it’s safe to assume there won’t be too many empty seats. The design is sleek and modern with aquariums underneath the bar, the scent of lemongrass throughout and the clever use of green and blue back-lit glass to add to the mood. Heading the team in the kitchen is Sanad Changpuen, a veteran of the Sheraton’s Oriental restaurant, and he’s assembled a menu that brings you the best in creative Asian cooking. Choose from a vast array of goodies, from red curry duck to Mongolian rib eye beef. To sample everything would take a year of repeat visits, but we’re going to do our best on that front. Sunday brunch now also available. [...]

The interior may be disappointingly drab considering the location – inside a medieval towerhouse – but the food most certainly isn’t, with a collection of fiery typically Thai dishes. We had the red curry and our taste buds knew about it immediately. Not gourmet dining, but a decent stop in an area of town not known for culinary variety. [...]

If you like your Asian recipes cheap and not especially tasty then you might want to check out Sapaya, a budget eatery with Kermit colours and a minimal look. The choices isn’t too bad, and there’s nothing wrong with the prices, but you can’t help but wonder where all the flavours [...]

Hit and miss – visit on a good day and you’ll be rewarded with a red curry duck that stands alongside the best. If things go wrong then expect to hear plates smashing in the kitchen, skimpy servings and staff acting like rabbits in front of a freight train. The interiors are pleasant and intimate, with dark woods and bamboo bits, though smokers won’t be seeing much of them. This is a no-smoking zone, so sit outside if you want to enjoy your cheroot.

Suparom Thai Food
A recommended and long standing Thai option serving fiery curries inside a two level restaurant. Eating in the pagoda style interior can be a real sensory pleasure, though the zen calm is occasionally disrupted by clutzy service and kitchen quarrels.
