Food not bad but again very lackadaisical service and welcome. You don't expect speedy in Egypt but a bit more attention would be good. The restaurants not particularly busy compared to previous years so you'd think they'd be more welcoming.

Read good reviews on this place, but now I believe these people did not know what they were talking about or have never had real Thai food before. All dishes were missing on flavour as if the chefs were being economic with their spices or thought there clients were not worthy of the real experience. Unless they shape up, I... More

Thai restaurant, but with the egyptian chefs. The duck salad was not bad enough, but Tom Yam soup with seafood was horrible, it was with crab sticks!!! Service is good, the waiters are quite unobtrusive but attentive. A cozy restaurant with a quiet Thai music, not a bad place to relax

Enjoyed our massaman curry red and green thai curries which came with rice and we has some fried noodles, very good value for money, one of the cheapest meals we had there but also one of the best. Tempura starter was very light and crispy.

The atmosphere was great, we felt as if we were in a restaurant in Thailand itself, the food was perfect and the staff was helpful as they had huge variety and didn't know what to choose

Really good Thai food at a very reasonable price. We have been coming here for four years when we visit El Gouna and it never fails to impress. The food is always good and the outside seating area is really nice. If you want to be sure of a seat outside then book, if not, you may have to sit... More
