This restaurant is awesome! I was visiting some family in Dubai when I found this place on Google. The food is excellent and the price is more than reasonable. I also enjoyed the portions provided. I had the Wok fried Chicken with Ginger, Tom Yum Goong and Water chesnut with coconut milk. l and highly recommend it.

The Royal Buddha one of the best Thai food in town. Delicious fresh authentic Thai flavours and great variety of choices. We had a hard time narrowing down our selection because we wanted to sample everything! In the end we chose the larb gai salad, prawn cake, sticky rice, green curry with chicken and pad see-ew. Delicious fresh lemongrass iced tea was perfect accompaniment. All excellent and served with a smile specially the manager he is very accomodating. Wish we could have stayed longer so we could have eaten more! Definitely recommend.

My favorite Thai restaurant I been here several times and I haven never been disappointed from the noodles to the soups and curries dishes this is the best food is fresh and authentic. For dessert, We topped it off with mango sticky rice that was DELICIOUS, like perfectly done! The workers here in Royal Buddha are EXTREMELY friendly. They really catered to the kids in the restaurant and constantly interacted with their customers. They were super helpful in menu selection and recommendations too.

The best way to describe great Thai food is subtle delicacy. Each bite is a pleasing blend of distinct flavors; jasmine, tamarind, lemon grass, cilantro root, chilies, and coconut to name a few. And within the dish each ingredient must maintains its unique characteristics; the crunch of the vegetables, the delicate firmness of the noodles, the distinct character of the spices and the texture and flavor the meats. Everything tasted fresh and every individual flavor was delivered. All the meat dishes were perfectly prepared and the Tom Yum, Papaya salad, Wok fried beef Thai broccoli & Green curry was some of the best I've had. Highly recommended!

I have been here 3 glorious times and without a doubt, this is absolutely the best Thai restaurant I have ever been here in Dubai. The taste of the food at this restaurant is catered to the Thai platter so that alone makes all the food authentic. They have unique Thai dishes that I ate regularly when I lived in Thailand but are rarely offered at standard Thai restaurants here in Dubai. Here is a list of some dishes that I highly recommend trying especially because you won't find them anywhere else: *****Tom Sap Nuea- Its a Clear beef Thai soup isaan style *****Nam Tok - means "Water falls in english" but this is grilled beef spicy salad with thai herbs and roasted sticky rice. ***** Som Tum poo pla - Spicy Green Papaya salad with black Thai crab and fish black sauce ***** Lab Gai - Spicy means chicken with thai herbs ***** Pla nuen Kapon manaw- steamed Seabass in lemon garlic chilli sauce. Uhhhhmmmmm.. I'm drolling now while typing.. Oh my!! Ario mak.. Service is very friendly and hospitable.. Thank you that The Royal Budha for having this food in your restaurant.. You Guys The Best!!!!! Krob khun krob!

This is my favorite Thai restaurant of all time. Thank god I live five minutes away! At this point, I have probably tried 75% of their dishes and they hardly ever disappoint. The service is also fantastic and quick. From their appetizers, I have had the prawn cakes, Gai Satay, and chicken pandan leaves. All taste great, especially their satay! It comes with a delicious peanut sauce. I have also had the Tom Ka Gai soup which is a coconut milk based soup and it's really quite good. My favorite main dishes are the Pad See Ew (drunked noodles in a sweet soy sauce) and the Panang Curry (red curry with coconut milk). SO GOOD!! I have also had the green, red, and massaman curry. They're also pretty good. I have also tried their fried rice and although its tasty! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
