Papaya Kantstraße in Berlin

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👍🇹🇭🙏

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

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.

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 !

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An Thai resturant serving up freshly cooked Thai dishes. The Papaya is well visited and very busy, with limited indoor and outdoor seating. A window through to the kitchen lets you see how the food is prepared and cooked. We had the Thai shrimp red curry and Thai broccoli with crispy pork belly. Just the right level of spicy coconut tang for my taste. If you like spicy Thai food then this is a place you should try but book a table in advance as it is very popular.

Amazing Thai food especially Som tam! If you like ปลาร้า or fermented fish, it’s definitely the place to go in Berlin. The price point was also very good. I'd definitely swing by to this place again if I were to visit Berlin. Can’t recommend enough!

Well attended at lunchtime, Very nice, quick staff. Gladly again.

A great place with the atmosphere of Thailand in Berlin. amazing food.

Best Som Tam and authentic Thai cuisine.

Best Thai restaurant that I know in Berlin. Authentic and high quality cuisine.

The food was delicious and the portion was generous. The service was fast, precise and the waiters were kind and available. Even if the restaurant was full it wasn't that loud inside, I would definitely recommend it

The service really leaves a lot to be desired, late service. The gentleman was friendlier than the blonde lady. The gentleman behind the counter was very accommodating and friendly and helpful! 🍜 I can only recommend soup with noodles and beef. I'm blown away by the best Pho in Kantstr! Padthai noodle with chicken is also very good. There is no music playing so you can have a normal conversation. Sometimes there is a bit of a strong smell coming from the open kitchen. Between 8/13 euros you will get enough here. The soup really impressed me 8/10

I don't really like Thai food but I have to say it was very good and I can recommend it. Above all, I thought it was good that no one recognized me. Nice 👍🏼

If you like Asian cuisine, this is the place for you. A good selection of food. Is near the Wilmersdorferstrasse U7. The prices are OK, not overly expensive. If the weather is nice you can also sit outside. Wish you enjoy your meal.

Macht von aussen und innen nicht viel her, aber sehr nette Bedienung und - grossartiges Essen. Einfach rein und probieren, wenn Platz ist. Reservieren! Empfehlungen sind: Papaya-Salat (egal welcher), die 35 Thod Man Pla "Küchlein aus Fischfleisch" sprich eine Art Fischbulette, die 42 Sai Ur "scharfe Schweinefleischwürstchen" - beides Hammervorspeisen. Hauptgang gab es von der Wochenkarte Gebratenes Huhn mit Erdnusssosse und Sojasprossen und Reis, war super und Pad Kabrau Gai - das ist Chili, Knoblauch gebraten mit gehacktem Hähnchenfleisch und scharfem Basilikum (die 148), einfach grossartig.

We said little spicy for take a take away order. The food was so spicyy that we could not eat it needed to throw it away. Paid 40€ for it - won’t order again

Recommended by Thai friend, authentic, yummy and price is fair

Very juut jejessen! Recommendation goes out for the papaya salad... no matter what combination... simply awesome... My tip is dried shrimp and marinated crab. Main dishes also awesome... authentic ingredients, good spiciness... keep it up! Oh yes, don't forget the sticky rice! Staff... Best! Thanks!

I've known Papaya since it opened what feels like 20 years ago. I don't know what better I could get in Berlin.

The food was very tasty - if you like it spicy, you will like it here. The staff is nice, but when it gets busy it's a bit crowded. But it was still fun

Papaya Restaurant Thailand offers extremely delicious dishes accompanied by friendly service at an affordable price. I recommend making a table reservation, especially at peak times and on weekends. In my opinion it is the best restaurant in Berlin.

Real flop. The menu is not entirely Thai at all. Classic Thai dishes were missing and there were also dishes that are not common in Thailand at all. I felt like it was a remix of Thai and other Asian cuisine. The red curry I ordered only tasted like coconut milk. Everything was missing spices. It was far too bland and bland. The vegetables were the cheapest ever. Cabbage strips 80 percent and the remaining 20 percent consisted of 2-3 carrot strips, 2-3 florets of broccoli and 2-3 champions. Vegetarian red curry usually contains peppers and green beans. The spring roll was the same. It wasn't prepared Thai style at all. The filling only consisted of Chinese cabbage and morels and probably glass noodles. The curry came to the place in a kind of pot that you could then scoop from. It looked nice but I've never experienced it in Thailand. They also have Matsaman Curry on the menu. But that means Massaman. So I have no idea, but it's not Thai.

There are a couple of very good Thai restaurants on the Kant str so it took me a couple of visits to Papaya to realize that this is a very good restaurant with amazing food. The fish are always very good, but I can't think of a dish that would disappoint me. Reservations are recommended - this place is usually full. Cash only!

The photos don't do it justice. We had 20 pieces of sushi after this dinner due to the small portion. The taste was okay. Maybe we didn't know how to order 😅

I've eaten here several times now and the food has always been very tasty. Price-performance is right in my opinion. I can recommend the Papaya restaurant.

Achtung Barzahlung erforderlich.

Authentic stuff. It’s spicy for sure but that’s what it’s supposed to be. I loved everything but the spicy pork sausage was impressive. Also the whole fried fish. PROTIP: bring a Gewürztraminer or an off dry white wine and pay corkage, amazing pairing.

Wir kommen gerne hier. Das Essen ist lecker und qualitativ sehr gut!

Der Eigentümer verkündet in den Medien, dass er die Rücknahme der Aussetzung der reduzierten MwSt nun zum Anlass nehmen müsse, um die Preise zu erhöhen. Dabei scheint er nicht zu berücksichtigen, dass die reduzierte MwSt als Corona-Unterstützung der Gastronomie galt. Im Grunde dürften sich in diesem Zusammenhang nun die Preise nicht erhöhen, jedoch scheint sich die Gastronomie an die Mehreinnahmen durch die MwSt-Absenkung gewöhnt zu haben und möchte auch in Zukunft nicht auf diesen Bonus verzichten. Seitens des Besitzers wird die reduzierte MwSt als Ausgleich für gestiegene Preise gesehen und sollte deshalb seiner Meinung nach beibehalten werden. Ich finde es nicht okay, nun die Normalisierung der MwSt für die Durchsetzung höherer Preise zu nutzen. Wenn die allgemeinen Kosten für den Einkauf von Lebensmitteln steigen, muss eine Preisanhebung unabhängig von der MwSt-Regelung erfolgen. Aber hier nun die MwSt-Politik für den Anstieg der Restaurantpreise verantwortlich zu machen liegt also neben der Sache. Schade, dass es den Gästen und der Öffentlichkeit falsch vermittelt wird.

Authentische thailändische Küche ohne Kompromisse. Scharf ist scharf, hier wird nichts 'entwürzt' bis es mit dem Original nichts mehr zu tun hat. Der Service ist effizient, im Sommer kann man gut auf dem Bürgersteig essen. Empfehlung.

Ist lecker und erinnert an Thailand

Zum zweiten Mal hier, ich hätte mich genauer erkundigen sollen, was es ist, was auf der Karte steht. Denn einmal war es lecker, aber eben auch einmal völlig daneben gegriffen. Bei den Fischgerichten bitte aufpassen, was ihr bestellen wollt, besser nachfragen.
