Papaya Kantstraße in Berlin

Food was ok. Service was modest.

Very tasty fresh dishes, real authentic Thai cuisine, I can only recommend it, it is a bit expensive and the duck is not always big enough for me but overall it is enough, a visit is worth it 👍🏼

Definitely delicious food reasonable prices

Yes. The food is super delicious 💜

The food is good but the staff is not. You, a German with an immigration background, behave badly towards me, as if you were something special.

Unfortunately I find the food to be mediocre and don't understand the hype. The pad krapao was one of the worst I've eaten. There was a lot of savings on Thai basil here (there were 3 basil leaves in the dish, even though it is one of the main ingredients). The loaf with duck is just dry and tough and the noodle dishes don't really have a good taste either. The only thing that is really tasty is the papaya salad. But the main courses are unfortunately a failure and don't taste authentic.

The food was great, but coconut ice cream was pretty expensive for the amount

From the outside, the crowds who come to the place attract people who come there. The place is very specific, it is not very clean, food remains are scraped onto the floor and the tables are wiped with one cloth. Seeing this, I took some takeaway food - soup and two dishes. All three were terrible, it was the worst Thai food I've ever eaten. There was Italian in one dish... Additionally, there was a significant language barrier.

It didn't taste authentic, something was missing from every dish we ordered. Very small portions for the price you pay...

A small and simple but very friendly restaurant with very good cuisine. The price-performance ratio is very fair. The quality of the food is very good. The selection of dishes is extensive. The team is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and furnishings are simple but friendly and have something of a bistro feel to them.

I'm not a meat fanatic, but the chicken pieces floating in my Dutch oven were very lonely. And: marked with 2 chilis, I would have hoped for more Thai style - it was more European seasoned. What was admirable, however, was the service, which largely kept track of everything in the chaos.

We have been to Papaya several times and have not been disappointed. The food tastes very good and the service is also super nice. The restaurant is perfect for a casual evening. It is always busy and reservations should be made for groups of 3 or more people. We like coming here.

The restaurant offers very authentic dishes. I think it's good that there are different dishes to choose from than in other restaurants. I really enjoyed the things. Been there twice this week. The only unfortunate thing was that the portion might not be enough for a person who eats a little more. My partner said he liked it, but unfortunately it was a bit lacking in meat. Next time I'll ask if it's possible to order more meat. (was there again and asked: it's possible for 3€) FYI: I ordered pasta, herbs and salad for the chicken dish for €4.

Unreserved recommendation, best Thai in town!

Absolute insider tip for everyone who loves authentic Thai cuisine! The food was super tasty, fresh and perfectly seasoned. The flavors were really authentic and took me straight to Thailand. A really recommended place!

The Papaya on Kantstrasse is a must for lovers of Thai cuisine! Particularly noteworthy is the incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned tartare – an absolute highlight. Anyone who likes it spicy will definitely get their money's worth here, as the dishes have just the right amount of spice. The modern, cozy ambience and attentive service complete the experience. A perfect place for anyone looking for authentic Thai flavors of the best quality!

Best green curry i know. Not to sweet, humble, quite spicy though (taking the chillies out before i start). Go there quite often to get green curry with tofu.

Super delicious food! There were six of us and we were able to try all sorts of things. The people serving were all very friendly and accommodating.

The chicken was tender, flavorful, unseasoned and dry. The egg too. The rice was not fried properly as some grains were white. But service was ok.

Very tasty and spicy dishes. Unfortunately, the ambience doesn't match the prices. Still very, very tasty. Unfortunately, you smell a lot like food when you visit the restaurant

We go here regularly and have always been very satisfied. The food is delicious, the service is friendly and the price is great too.

Very popular and busy on a Saturday night! Reservation definitely necessary. Staff speaks English. Very kind, fast and professional service. Cash or credit card accepted. The pad thai was perfect. The Papaya Salad is legit, so tasty and spicy. I would have drank the Papaya Salad juices but since we were in public, I refrained, lol. I want to come back for more.

The waiter was exceptionally nice and courteous and we were also impressed by the food. Although the menu didn't actually have any vegetarian options, the dishes were modified for us as much as possible (e.g. served with tofu).

Unfortunately, apart from the occasional spiciness, there can be no question of authentic Thai cuisine, for which we would have accepted the careless furnishings and lackluster service. The menu is long and includes the usual red and green curries as well as more unusual Isaan specialties, but the preparation is standard at best. Textures, herbs and freshness are missing, the Pad Thai are more warmed up spaghetti than fried and differentiated and vegetarian dishes are only available as tofu instead of meat. Disappointing in line with the Eurasia snack bars in Berlin and also too expensive. No recommendation.

Auf der Suche nach authentischem unverfälschten Thai Essen in Berlin wurde uns dieses Restaurant empfohlen. Der Laden war rappel voll und wir hatten noch Glück einen Tisch gekriegt zu haben. Das Interieur ist eher schlicht aber dem Zweck dienlich. Nämlich gut zu essen. Und das kann man dort!! Die bestellten Gerichte waren durchweg schmackhaft und meine thailändische Frau war überrascht wie unverfälscht die Rezepturen waren. Ganz klare Empfehlung!!

Reviews of the old store Still tasty, but the papaya salad disappointed me recently. Soft and not as fresh as before :(

It tastes good and the price is not expensive~

Leckeres Essen,guter Service,lächelndes,fröhliches und gute sprechendes Personal 😊The food came out quickly and tasted good. The staff spoke because they were cute. Everyone didn't choose. Practice it and if you have a chance, you'll definitely come back to eat it again.

Very tasty food, at fair prices. The menu is very large, so we just had the daily specials, but they were really tasty!

Always happy, always delicious and special

Hello, The food is excellent; it's definitely a place to visit. Additionally, the staff are polite and helpful.

Great taste and fair price. Gladly again!

I really loved the papaya on Kantstrasse. I was there at lunchtime and although the restaurant was busy, everything ran smoothly. The food came to the table incredibly quickly, which I found very impressive considering the number of guests. The service was friendly and attentive, so I immediately felt at home. The atmosphere is lively but pleasant - you can tell that this restaurant is popular with many. The food itself was excellent. Fresh, tasty and beautifully presented – exactly what I was hoping for. The price-performance ratio is particularly impressive: you really get a lot here for the quality and portion size. I would recommend Papaya to anyone who is in the area and wants a great lunch!

Best authentic Thai restaurant in Berlin. I love it!

Thank you for the delicious food

Delicious curry, there could be more vegetarian options

Authentic Thai cuisine. Spicy is also spicy here. We really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered with their delicate, differentiated flavors. Puts you in a good mood!

The best Thai food you'll find outside of Thailand—highly recommended, so give it a try!

Great food. If you want authentic Thai food, this is the right place for you. The papaya salad...a dream

Wonderful authentic Thai flavors, same as in Thailand. Super fast and friendly service. Only downside is the ventilation, but just the food is worth suffering, highly recommend

The food was very tasty, but I expect a lime and not a lemon on a Pad Thai.

Lovely place with very polite and friendly servers. Great menu with many options to choose from and delicious (spicy) Thai food. A reservation is definitely recommended. If you are averse to spicy food, it would be wise to inform the servers beforehand.

Best Thai Food in Berlin…great authentic Thai cuisine and drinks! I'll be back👍🇹🇭🙏

I ordered food to go and they charged me more than the actual price that is listed on the menu. I guess they do it, so they still get tips? I was going to tip them anyway but found it weird that they did it without me saying anything. The food was good though.

Food is great. The service too. Personally, it's too narrow and loud for me.

The food was good. Particularly noteworthy are the numbers 40, 42 and 159. As well as the mango sticky rice. The service was very friendly and attentive. Negative: Some of the tables are very close to each other. The background noise is rather high.

Delicious Thai food. One of the best Thai in town. Unfortunately it's a bit expensive, but the portions are okay. For ages it has been “cash only” that is absolutely outdated

Best Thai restaurant in my opinion !

Authentic, very tasty Thai cuisine, be sure to make a reservation as it is usually very crowded, atmosphere like in Thailand and the food is delicious.

Cheap, authentic restaurant. The food was very tasty and the portions were big enough

It was a culinary experience that I can only give an A+ rating. Hammer blow!!!

Food tastes like it comes from home. Dream.

There are two restaurants that belong together but have different dishes. For example, super delicious pork search in the left one. Unfortunately not on the right. The one on the left is closed on Sunday. But it's not bad. It's always delicious. And unfortunately always full. But it's worth waiting. My Thai friend says it's her favorite Thai in Berlin. 😉

Always happy to come here to enjoy authentic Thai food.

The papaya is of consistently good quality at all locations!

The closest to actual Thai food I had so far in Germany. Especially the chicken soup taste just like at the streets of bangkok. A little too pricey though. But alot of Thai people come to eat here as well. And you can pay with card now. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

You can do it, but you don't have to. The service was neither particularly friendly nor was the food outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't get a helpful answer when I asked for a recommendation. Overall rather disappointing.

Very tasty 😋 and always well attended. Authentic Thai food at normal prices. Card payment is also accepted.

I actually ordered a simple dish (rice, chicken, broccoli,...) but to my surprise it really tasted extremely good. The service was unobtrusive but super friendly. I felt welcome here. Price/performance is definitely right for me. Everything seems very authentic to me...even the decoration is traditional but also subtle. Really great P.S. Sorry for the eaten plate in the photo... I was too hungry 😂

Very tasty Thai restaurant, large selection of dishes and friendly service.

Unfortunately quite unfriendly and not dog friendly.

Too damn good. If only it were nearby, this would be a place I would be visiting everyday

Very very good Thai food. Nice service...Only that the wine list could have a little more selection and better quality...otherwise everything was great!

For my daughter it is the best Pad Thai in this area so far, so we keep coming back. The ambience is simple Service mostly ok It's great that you can finally pay with a card here

Delicious and authentic food. Our waitress (young woman with braces) made a lot of effort despite the language barrier and was very friendly and sweet. I hope she gets this feedback passed on :) We'll be back😊

Good, authentic Thai food for ok prices. Be careful with the spice level if you are not used to it. A few vegetarian options on the menu but rather limited.

Insanely delicious and authentic. Only recommended. I ate there several times during my stay in Berlin.

Great Thai food. Pad Thai, papaya salad, great!

Very tasty food and super friendly staff!! Also the drink came with a cute flower and looked and tasted really good!

I’m happy they take cards payment.

The most delicious, really delicious.

Papaya is a place we return to again and again - we find the dishes with organic meat particularly appealing. Plus, everything there is authentic - a little trip to Thailand - in the middle of Berlin :)

The first place I visit as soon as I return to Berlin after going abroad. Best Thai Restaurant in Berlin.

Soups are really tasty, service is also very nice, but the atmosphere is like a food stall and not as relaxed or quiet as the street is very busy.

We are always enthusiastic about “Papaya”. Very tasty (and very spicy - be careful). The best sticky mango I've eaten so far (addiction factor 100). A very good, small restaurant.

I have eaten the tastiest pasta with broccoli and chicken in a long time...

The food was quite good especially the shrimp thai fried rice. The chicken with cashew chilli was also quite nice. The portions are pretty massive though!

I have no idea what the others have written...the food was great. There were 7 of us there. Had a whole lot of different dishes. Everything was delicious, authentically Thai and fresh. The furnishings....inconsequential. Price was completely OK.

I think the som tam is very tasty, as are the pad see ew. The soup was very disappointing though, it was nothing like any Thai soup I have had and tasted more like a starchy Chinese-style European take on "make it taste Asian".

Food was ok, but the fried spring rolls!!! I think it's totally bad with rice paper. The worst thing for the first time is fried spring rolls. Apart from the completely bland taste, the dough is not crispy and chewy as if it was not fully fried, had, The fried noodle Pad Thai contains a lot of oil. The taste shouldn't be called padthai. The issue is service!! I can only give 1 star, the ambience is really appealing like the snack shop, the price range is ok for the small portion

06/27/24 Despite our last unpleasant visit to the new Papaya Restaurant by Khun Mar, we visited again this morning because we wanted to test out the breakfast offerings. We ordered pork congee as well as chicken rice soup. The difference is that the congee is thick and made with sticky rice, while the rice soup was literally rice and soup. The fried pastry with condensed milk as a dip costs €5.40 😕 This time it wasn't anything special either, which is why we will refrain from giving this restaurant another chance. *** 06/15/24 As sorry as I am, I cannot recommend the new, small Papaya Restaurant. We ordered 6 dishes, of which only the dessert, sticky rice with mango and the durian-flavored ice cream, was good. It was also extremely loud at the table behind us. However, the staff did nothing about it. The menu consisted of a very large Asian breakfast menu that sounded interesting. I would have preferred to order this rather than the lunch/dinner dishes, which were all very similar. Maybe we'll stop by for breakfast sometime and give the restaurant another chance.

Good Thai food, delicious papaya salad which is what we mainly came for

The food from the lunch menu is really great!

Probably the best Thai in Berlin. Everything we tried tasted very good. You should definitely take the 3 chili signs seriously.

Delicious food but unfortunately no dogs allowed in the restaurant because of the open kitchen. Legally speaking, dogs are allowed in a restaurant, but house rules apply, meaning the restaurant owner doesn't want dogs in the restaurant. Overall everything is good. ;) but not recommended with a dog in winter.

The papaya salad is an absolute must! That alone is worth the trip to Berlin ;) There is a lunch and day menu. And almost every dish is recommended. My favorite Tom Kha and Papaya Salad.

Very good food. The restaurant is always full.

Very good Thai food. Be sure to reserve in advance. Good price-performance ratio.

I like to eat here. Preferably the Pad Thai

Super delicious authentic Thialisch food like at mom's home 😍 would be happy to come back

Very tasty food in a typical local atmosphere. A little piece of Thailand in Berlin. Love it!

We enjoyed it very much. People were very attentive. We had a great evening.

Not worth the money and the service!! bad service from waiters!! can find better thai food with better taste and better service!! Not recomended at all. You guys need to teach your staff to behave and taking care good of your customer!

Food lacked taste and was not great. Service was almost rude. When asking for extra chopped chili got explanation that chili is not needed. Had to ask 4 times and finally got some with a big sigh from the waitress. Wanted to pay with card and got some attitude the second time. This place only takes cash. Convenient that they have a euronet ATM literally next door which takes a 5,95 euro processing fee. Wondering if they get a commission since many customers had to do the same procedure as me.

We have not been here for a few years (when we spontaneously came in evening in the past - no chance get a table). So today we came for lunch - got a table and were very happy with everything. The food - all three dishes - was delicious, the ladies who served us were very friendly - a very relaxing and comforting experience. Compared to other authentic Thai Restaurants that we have tried in Berlin we like the food here the best. It has lots of fresh herbs and flavours - the price for the dishes is a bit higher but the quality is very good (they use Organics Meat for their dishes). Recommended! Update April 2024: Still very good!

A very nice little restaurant with very tasty food, I come here often to enjoy it Unfortunately the restaurant is always full, but that's a good sign ^^ So always reserve in advance 👍🏼

Authentic Thai cuisine. Everything tastes great there. Ambiance: You have the feeling you are in Thailand.

Had an amazing experience!! This restaurant serves up deliciously spicy dishes that tantalize the taste buds. With a range of vegetarian options, it caters to all palates. Definitely a must-visit for those craving authentic Thai flavors!

Fast and friendly service even though the store was full. I had the red curry in the Dutch oven. The curry was exactly what I expected: nice spiciness and freshness of the ingredients.

The food was authentically Thai, very tasty, very spicy, not Europeanized, only the sea was missing.
