The Royal Budha - Thai Restaurant

Most Extensive Vegetarian Thai Options in Dubai. Jaynecar really took good care of us, the food was excellent and staff is really friendly. Worth it for All Veg Lovers.

My family had dinner with them last night, it was great experience to experienced authentic Thai food. Every thing we ordered was delicious the only comment I can say is I hope when you order coconut sticky rice with mango it should be serve mango from Thailand not from Pakistan I can tasted the mango was not sweet, it taste bland.

I have been to this restaurant for the second time. Fantastic food, very friendly and professional staff. Beautiful atmosphere. I will definitely come again!

It's a clean and delicious restaurant. The only difference is that it's a little dark.

I recently dined at this Thai restaurant, and I can't say enough good things about it! The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors. The service was top-notch and super fast; the staff, Lovely was friendly, attentive, and made sure I had a fantastic late night dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of Thailand in Dubai.

Excellent food with equally friendly staff, special mention to Ms. Lovely for the great service.

Miss Lovely and Mister Nirmoy were very great and nice. The food was great and it was overall a nice experience.

Ordered my favorite mango Sticky Rice.

What they served was not a dessert, but more a declaration of war. For AED 47, the portion was only 3 mouth full.mango was barely ripe.coconut milk was sprinkled.

Absolute disaster.worst ever mango sticky rice.why the garnish with mint leaves? Do not try to change an authentic dish, in the name of presentation.

For this simple dish, if they cannot choose a good ripe mango, add sufficient coconut milk and serve good quantity, then i am afraid the other dishes in this so called Thai restaurant would be disastrous as well.

A STRICT NO- NO for any authentic Thai food lover. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF GOING IN!

Great food.but the service by Jennifer, Nirmoy was outstanding, went out of their way to make us comfortable.

Great food. Excellent service and lovely atmosphere. We had a great meal and a lovely evening.

I loved how our waitress took care of us. Food was perfectly spicy and scrumptious. Loved every bite of our meals. Thank you for all that you do.

The menu has pretty much all the items you expect from a typical Thai restaurant (such as a variety of curries, tom yum, Pad Thai)

Service is good in a hotel-professional way,

Been coming here for years
Still pretty good
Although i think it's time to renovate the interiors

Fantastic food and service. Been to Thailand many times and the ambiance and cuisine made me feel like I was back there.

Flavorful Thai food, attentive friendly service from the gentleman looking after us, and a really nice touch was the chef coming to our table to check how we were enjoying the food! Thank you

It was amazing dinner. The location is good, the decoration is really perfect, nice vibe, very delicious food with thai music. Recommend for all

I love this restaurant. My family and I are regular customers as the dishes here are truly delicious and full of flavor. Waiters like Mijash are really nice.

Customer service is top notch. The grilled beef sirloin was exceptionally good. Tom yum soup was not spicy enough tho. But definitely will be back again.

Was very happy to be back here! Food is amazing as always and staff is wonderful. Couldnt recommend enough. Ms Jaynecar was beyond a star!

Amazing food, specially the Sea bass w lemon garlic sauce, no doubt the friendly staff is an added point to Royal Budha. Wishing more success!

Chef Sapkon. What amazing food! Hands down the best soup Tom Kha Phak, medium spicy with tender vegetables that takes you back into sweet old memories! Not gooey not thick but the perfect consistency. Thai green curry with sticky rice was simply outstanding! Spring rolls was good. But the prawn cake was super good! Delicious and juicy, just a light batter for coating, with the ocean flavor running through your mouth.this one and the soup for sure will keep you coming back for more!
A special mention to one among the service crew, Sanka Rathnayake! Great knowledge and proactively skilled at identifying the needs of the customer!
Lastly the music suits the mystic ambience! Great job! Highly recommended!

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always such a good experience, the staff are great especially Jaynecer. The good is also always great and fast and love the service. I think it’s one of the best Thai places in Dubai.

The 'new' chef has added his own touches to the menu and the food is better than ever. Friendly and attentive service as always.

Had chicken satay and pad see ew.

Peanut sauce was good. Service was good.

The pad see ew was very bland.

Limited selection menu.

On top of that they include 10% "service charge" in the bill.

The place was empty and I know why.

I will not go back.

Perfect soup
Tasty foods
Cosy and relaxing quite place.
Perfect for a date and family dinner out.
I love Thai food always
Friendly staffs
Good location

This is by far my best Thai restaurant in dubai. I have tried so many around and nothing compares to this place. From booking a table, getting welcomed on arrival and then the food it tastes and looks amazing with great portions. I will be going again and again.

Thank you all ️

Food taste is actually pretty good. Serving sizes are small for the price. The sofa seating is not very comfortable for eating but wasn't terrible. I can accept all that.

The DEAL BREAKER for me.they serve alcohol and servers use the same hands that they pour beer into tall glasses which drips on the sides, they serve other customers who do not drink Alcohol.

I saw it up close since we were seated right in front of their bar area.

For a restaurant in Dubai, they should have processes to keep servers who pour Alcohol for customers from touching plates/silverware/food for customers for whom Alcohol is forbidden. Management needs to look into it. Otherwise we are definitely not going back.

Thai restaurant located inside holiday Inn. The food is not bad at all with a very complete selection of dishes but it is really quite pricy. Service and atmosphere are ok. I tried the pad Thai and it was not bad. They serves alcohol here too.

Food 3/5
Service 3/5
Ambience 3/5
Price 3/5

Had a lovely meal there today. Authentic Thai Food. Generous portions. Attentive staff. Will take our grown up children when they visit in December.

Wonderful ambience with great staff - very polite.
The food presentation was great, but the taste didn't match my expectation. Definitely not worth spending that much on.

Horrible experience! First time in six years of frequenting this restaurant, I had a terrible experience! The head waitress let me leave the restaurant rather than accept my request! The request was to give separate bills for me and my friend!
Initially we just wanted to do take away, but as we were using entertainer voucher, the lady, Jennifer said she couldn't allow that as per the rules of the voucher, So we decided to eat in! But when we requested for two separate bills, she refused. We walked out and didn't even get an apology!
Unbelievable!

Don't visit this restaurant, rude people!

Regards,
Karan

Food is terrible. Me and my family came and loved the food. After three months the chefs changed and the food was disgusting.

Definitly the best Thai restaurant i visited in Dubai. Can recommend it to anybody. Very near to the mall of the emirates. Perfect food (especially loved the Tom Yam Kai) and lovely services.

We have been to this restaurant a couple of times as we enjoy the food but unfortunately we have had a bad experience. They served us stale fried rice and my child has experienced a bad tummy and vomiting.
Never again.

The food is good those who enjoy Thai food will love this place however I feel it is a little expensive for the quantity they offer definitely worth a try you won't be disappointed cheers

Friendly staffs
Food was nice. I loved the grilled fish with this beautiful Thai sauce.
Dim sums were good too.

One of the best Thai restaurants, it is said to be among Japanese expats. And after tastes as series of dishes here, I realized that the rumor was just not rumor but truth. All the foods here tasted very nice! One of the best restaurants in Al Barsha I believe!

Whilst staying in Dubai for just ten days, I visited this restaurant three times. The food is absolutely amazing and the level of service is exceptional. With a group of friends, I attended their New Year's Eve buffet and I can't thank the staff enough for providing such an array of exceptional choices. Every single dish was carefully prepared and I managed to try and fully appreciate each one. For an extra 100 AED, house beverages were included for this event enabling guests to select drinks of their choice. I was so happy with the food on all three occasions. Thank you to all the staff, you are a great team.

I love Thai foods and I like this Thai restaurant.
Staff here are nice and gentle.
I was here two times in 15 days, the foods is really delicious and original Thai from Thai chief.
Nice place good music.
If I be back to Dubai I will come back here again for sure.

The seafood green curry was great! Roast duck was a bit tough. Pomfret was so so, was not crispy with the sweet chilli sauce taking away the taste of the fish. The Thai coconut was too old such that the flesh was too tough to be eaten together with the coconut water. Disappointing not to find thai milk tea or lemongrass drink that are hallmarks of Thai food

Inside holiday Inn al bashra
Designed very nice, feeling you are in Thailand.
The food, smells are great.
Free parking

Have been here a few times during business trip. They have a great choice of authentic thai food with thai music at the background that make the atmosphere!

Friendly staff, especially Nadia. She is sweet and have eyes for detail in all the services mind aspects. Highly recommend to try the really thai food here in Al basha area!

Excelent authentic Thai cuisine. Our Thai friend who is notoriously fussy, agreed it was excellent.

Service is always great at the Royal Budha, however, its always strange that they ask if you have a reservation (even though the restaurant never seems to be full, sometimes its just got 10-12 covers present and plenty of empty tables).

The Friday yum cha is a fantastic deal for all you can eat and unlimited iced tea/ tea. A great mix of dim sum and steamed buns with a soup to begin proceedings. The range of dim sum includes chicken, seafood and vegetarian options.

The waiting staff are extremely friendly and attentive and make the experience of dining at the restaurant even more enjoyable. The best part of the deal is kids under 12 eat for half price and my kids enjoy the bottomless iced tea and steamed buns! At their current prices a family of four can eat for under aed 250 (if kids are under 12 years).

A great friday dining option!

Fabulous ambience and delicious thai cuisine. A must to visit and taste the thai delicacies. Good for a group family or couples will relish and enjoy the ambience. They have vegetarian friendly cuisine and gluten free options.

Ordered pineapple fried rice, I liked the taste but too pricey for the quantity what they have served. They just gave two shrimps and small very small peas size chunks of tofu. I would have been more happy when they increase the quantity according to the price.

I was totally blown away by the service and the authenticity of Thai Food at this restaurant! Hands down, have to say it just may have become my FAVORITE Thai Restaurant in the UAE! The staff is also the nicest I’ve ever seen. Extremely courteous and hospitable. I can’t to revisit it again, and again.and again

Where do I start. The place looks beautiful. The service and personnel are very friendly as one would expect from a restaurant in the Holiday INN hotel. The food is looks amazing and tastes just as good. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Went there for a cooking class specially organized for us. It was fun and the chefs were very engaged throughout the session. I learnt adding icing to sponge cake. It was a unique experience.

From a Malaysian Penang guy, take it from me - This Thai food is authentic and bloody good. The food pricing is premium but worth it. Travelled from Abu Dhabi for this Thai food. The Pomelo salad is also thumbs up.

Delicious Thai Food, beautiful ambience and a good service. We had a great experience by exploring Thai cuisine. There are a lot of Thai restaurants in Dubai to recommend but if you want to have luxury Thai dining then recommending you to visit Royal Budha:)
P. S. They do serve

Food didnt taste as fresh when we went at 4pm. They changed the dim sum selection and didnt let us know until we complained that the food seemed different and less in some way. The dim sums, meat and covering were rubbery. My advice for unlimited dim sum lovers is to go there before 2pm or not at all.

Went for a valentines dinner. 2 starters and 2 soups in one hour.the other food followed shortly after that but food quality for everything except the soup was below par.go to a different thai restaurant if you can.we almost fell asleep waiting

Nice setting and service and amazing, authentic and fresh Thai food. Reminded us of the beautiful time we spent in Bangkok. Highly recommended.

I went for the dim sum Friday all you can eat. The worst dim sum I have had anywhere. Shrimp har gow and chicken siu Mai, the two most basic items in any dim sum place, were morbidly awful. I was served about 5-6 different types and 4 pieces each. Had one piece of each and couldn't have the second. Not a single one of the dim sums served could save the rest. In hind sight, maybe the expensive dim sum in Dubai is a better way to go. Stay away from the dim sum.

The setting of this restaurant is quite nice as its a bit dark and gives you the feel of calmness. They offer Thai food however I can’t sat that they’ve reached the authenticity of the cuisine. Their price is a bit rip off as food was just standard. But I would love to try them again.
