Atmosphere at Pai Thai is great! Really unique and worth while. Great pace for an evening out. The set menu was tasty with great flavours. The wine pairing is recommended. The only downside was that the servers were rushed and inattentive to our needs.

One of the Best Thai food in Dubai. They serve amazing Padthai. Their option of cocktail is small, but unique and tasty. Ambience is very welcoming, if the weather is nice, you can enjoy sitting outside on patio. You can close your evening with Mango sticky rice, which is awesome.

Great experience inside a gorgeous resort. Take a boat to dine.
Saturdays' Floating Market Lunch is a must do.
Make sure you bring a healthy appetite.

(be sure and "doggy bag" any excess, the local workers are Always very grateful to accept food.)

Great things : alot of vegan options ! I loved the tofu skewers. Mango sticky rice was so tasty. View on the river was amazing . The waiter was nice.

Things for improvement : the order taking (i clearly stated no garlic on my main course but it came fully covered with garlic so i cancelled it ) - the music was not matching the beautiful location or the calming thai theme , we had to ask the waiter to put it lower after we had a headach already.

The journey to Pai Thai is honestly one of the best parts of the experience. You get there via a free boat ride through the Madinat Jumeirah canals, and it’s absolutely beautiful — a peaceful, scenic way to start the evening and definitely sets the mood.

As for the food, it was average overall. The starters were quite underwhelming — small portions and nothing that really stood out flavor-wise. It felt like they focused more on presentation than taste.

The main courses were better, with more depth and authentic Thai flavors, but still not enough to make the meal feel truly memorable. You’d expect a bit more at this price point.

The restaurant itself has charm, but the interior is starting to look a little dated — it could really use a refresh to match the premium location and pricing.

All in all, worth visiting once for the boat ride and setting, but not somewhere I’d rush back to just for the food.
