Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Avoid Thai heat. Treat the Thai setting as an expert-level choice rather than a normal spicy option.

2

Plan parking. Allow extra time for parking; street spaces may be hard to find and the building’s rear or paid underground spaces may be more practical.

The Bottom Line

Thai Taste Restaurant in Al Barsha South is a casual Thai spot known for food that reviewers find close to the flavours of Thailand. You can come for a generously filled seafood Tom Yum, Pad Thai with shrimp, Panang chicken curry or Mango Sticky Rice; the menu also gives spice guidance rather than leaving heat to guesswork. The Tom Yum is the clearest standout.

Customers describe it as balanced, authentic and loaded with shrimp, while the Mango Sticky Rice is repeatedly called a favourite. Other well-regarded choices include papaya salad, green curry, morning glory and the BBQ shrimp platter. Portions are generally described as fair, and several diners consider the pricing good value, though no specific menu prices were provided.

The room is usually described as clean, bright and relaxing, with friendly service and food arriving quickly. For first-timers, Medium is a sensible starting point; the Thai level is described as professional-grade heat. Parking deserves planning: street spaces can be difficult, and one reviewer had to loop around the building to find parking.

There is also an isolated report of uncleared dirty plates and clustered cutlery, so service may not be flawless every visit.
