Pai Thai

Pai Thai gave us postcard optics and mixed hospitality execution. Pictures with the burj behind us, genuinely lovely, very Dubai-coded. The arrival, less charming, table not ready despite a two-minute delay, followed by a noticeable wait just to see a menu, which is never a strong opening move. Credit where it’s due though, the waiting staff were warm, drinks were well made, portions generous, and the curry actually delivered on flavour rather than theatrics. The small gesture was thoughtful and landed well. Net assessment, beautiful setting, competent food, uneven pacing… a solid 3.5.... memorable for the view ... and where atmosphere consistently outperforms service efficiency.

My girlfriend and I decided to spend our 4th anniversary in this lovely restaurant, and it was great. The location is especially beautiful. I really suggest reserving a table around 4-6 PM to see the sunset and have a walk around. It began with a wonderful, absolutely free trip on a small boat, whete they simply asked if we had a reservation. There are also options to go back or even further on the boat in this canal, surrounded by beautiful buildings, bridges, and trees. The service is good. We ordered 2 drinks, 2 main courses, and 2 desserts at first, but sometimes it was hard to find a waiter to ask for something. When we asked for a third drink, the waiter eventually forgot and disappeared until we asked again, but this isn't a big deal. The food is very delicious, with a wide range of different options that have all allergens and other important information clearly written. At the end, they gave us a free cake piece for our anniversary, it was very delicious and sweet :) The total was 551 AED for 3 drinks, 2 main courses, and 2 desserts plus different taxes and fees. Also, please note that if you want a table outside, there are a lot of flies.

Pai Thai is one of the restaurants in Jumeirah Al Qasr hotel. We took the boat (Abra) to the restaurant and it was really nice experience. The floating market was going on during this time and it felt as if we are really in Thailand. Two girls performed a Thai dance during the lunch which was truly amazing. Shiela was looking after our table and was very kind and helpful in selecting the menu and assisting us in every way during our meal. Good food good vibe and friendly staff.

The food was great and presentation beautiful! The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because when my team ordered drinks, they weren’t fresh, everyone noticed it. I was genuinely surprised, as this was the first time I dined at a 5-star resort that appeared to serve store-bought juice. We ordered and sampled many dishes, visited twice, and loved the generous portions. The steak and sauce were especially outstanding. However, the drinks took away from the overall experience, as I didn't touch my orange juice after sampling 😭. I don’t know the reason behind this, but it was surprising that what was probably the easiest to prepare wasn't fresh. I hope this was a one-time occurrence and that they improve in the future.

Where to even start here 😍 such a beautiful restaurant that gets it all right. Beautiful setting, really makes you feel like youre in Thailand. Loved the touch of getting the boat there too. Food was unreal. We had breaded prawns to start and Tom Yum soup and they were gorgeous. We had Pad Thai and Red curry for main. Beautiful food. We've booked to go again tonight. Can't recommend it more.

Absolutely loved our experience at Pai Thai. The place has such a calm, authentic Thai atmosphere that you forget you’re in Dubai for a moment. The boat ride to the restaurant is a fun touch and really sets the tone before you even sit down. The food was excellent, especially the Thai green chicken curry — rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. Easily one of the standout dishes of the night. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive.

We came a month ago. I don’t know why the review have posted. I have to say we had an absolutely phenomenal time. Our server was incredible. The boat ride, and where the location of this restaurant is are just truly amazing. We chose to have the set menu and to be honest it was way too much food. The quality was fantastic. Will highly recommend.

Superb dinner sitting outside and great service all night from Jason. Recommend making sure you get the boat to the restaurant - we accidentally got the golf cart, not quite the same! Had 2 cocktails each and 5 course tasting menu. Cocktails were best we’ve had so far in Dubai. Food - 90% of it was a massive hit, couple of dishes a bit spicy for my girlfriend 😂. Highly recommend
