Great post!! I didn’t know that there were so many Thai food focus restaurants in Dubai, maybe because there are a lot expats. Great to know that people in Dubai enjoy Thai food. I always love Thai food, it has the perfect balance for everything. I really liked the layout of the Yellow monkey and the price seems reasonable.
Yes because of expats and many tourists, Dubai offers good Thai food choices. Yellow monkey has great food and funky decor too.
I think the Mango Tree Bistro is all about fun with friends. Love the ambiance that you have shared. And the whole thing of dining on swings…now that I have to try out at least once. I love the way you have reviewed each of these, giving us not only the food tidbits but also, the budget per restaurant . Well done with that!
Thanks for loving the options in the post.
I love that you get to dine in swings at the Yellow Monkey! It seems like each of these places really thought through how to create a full experience and not just provide a meal. And I love the ambiance at Tum Tum and the Spice Pot, which are both so unique and fun in their own way.
I’m not a vegan, but I like healthy cuisine, and above all, I love Thai cuisine. I didn’t know there are so many Thai restaurants in Dubai, but it’s a vast city. I think Thai cuisine it’s one of the best cuisines in the world. I was in Thailand twice. I am a fan of noodles, too. So that’s why I read your recommendations with interested — a lot of helpful info and great photos. For sure, I would like to eat in ROYAL BUDHA and DOM NOODLE – JBR. They are in my style, and I would like to visit it.
You will get all types of Thai food here in Dubai. Royal Budha and Noodle Bar at JBR is really worth trying out when in Dubai.
I am a vegan so this post is incredible helpful! I would love to try the food at the Royal Buddha. Also the idea of the lavish seating with lovely royal pink/purple colored furnishings sounds like the perfect atmosphere to try the veggie food! I am so hungry for Thai food now <3
Good to know you are vegan and yes the Royal Budha has very lavish and beautiful seating arrangement. You will find lots of veggie or vegan options in Dubai.
I am quite surprised about the amount of Thai restaurants in Dubai but not sure if I would go to a Thai restaurant there as I prefer to try out local foods when I am traveling. Fantastic options here but for me out of this I would want to try the the Noodle House but the food shown in the photo, what is it? That looks the most appealing to me. This would be something I would like to try but I am in Thailand hopefully next year so hopefully get to try a lot of the local cuisine whilst out there. Never tried Thai food before. (and if I like the Thai food, then when I eventually get to Dubai, I might try some of these places out). 🙂
You will love Thai food as it has combination of five flavors. The dish from Noodle house is Vegetarian pad Thai with ribbon noodles, chunky roasted peanuts and many exotic veggies with lots of Thai sauces.
The food looks incredible in all of the places you mentioned. Will have to check these places out whenever I’m in Dubai!
I really love Thai food and it’s so well suited to veggie and vegan diets because of the plentiful veg, herbs and coconut milk. I didn’t realise Dubai had so many great Thai options when we went!
Even though I’m not vegan these all look incredibly delicious! Thanks for sharing 😉
Not only does the food look amazing but the all the restaurants look so inviting as well! The decor in the restaurants are so pretty! Great post and list of restaurants!
You would love all of them in terms of taste and decor.
Looks so yummy! Can’t wait to try all of them when I’ll be in Dubai in a few weeks!
You would love all of them.
This is a great list of vegan restaurants. The Royal Buddha looks the most convenient. But the Tum Tum decor is gorgeous. I’ll have to stop by the Spice Pot for dessert.
You would love all of them as all have some unique features.
Oh My! I looove Thai food so much! Always looking for great food recommendations! I will have to pin this post for when I make it to Dubai !
I’ve never wanted to visit Dubai, but now I think I have several delicious reasons!
You have many food option here and you would truly love all of them.
Only one word….YUM!
