“Great presentation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Nicely presented dishes and with a great kick of spices, had level three and that was hot. Seating and areas a bit like a fast food place but once you try their food you forget all that.

“Untouched for flavor & presentation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

If you're ready to get off of the beach and have a nice dinner in town, shuffle on in to KaiBella for a real surprise. Living in Samara, we are fortunate to have many great restaurants, but when we are looking for an explosion of flavors, KaiBella is at the top of the list. She now has a full bar and great wines to compliment her great food!

“Fresh and Tasty!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

The food takes a while to get because they are preparing everything fresh. Down to shaving the carrots that garnish the plates just before they bring it out. Bella the owner adds even more spice to and already spicy place. Enjoy!!

“Mmmmmm!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 13, 2012

The food here was great. It's all fresh produce made on demand so you do have to wait a bit for your food, but it was worth it!

“Best Thai food we have ever had!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2012

We ate at KaiBella at least 5 times in our two week stay in Samara. It was our favorite place to eat and some of the best Thai food we have ever had! It was so good. :) We also got to meet the owner and some of the waitstaff were super friendly.
