Papaya Restaurant (Indian & Thai Food)

Papaya Indian Restaurant in Phi Phi Island is a decent place if you’re craving Indian food during your stay. The prices are around 200–250 baht per dish for Indian cuisine, which is on the higher side compared to Thai food options nearby. The Thai dishes here are relatively cheaper and more authentic. The Indian food isn’t extraordinary, but it does the job if you’re missing familiar flavors. It’s a good backup option when you can’t manage on Thai food alone. The portion sizes are decent, and the service is quick. The ambiance is simple and casual, nothing fancy. Don’t expect perfect Indian taste, but it’s a good compromise for travelers. Overall, it’s a manageable spot for a couple of meals when you need a break from local food.

The curry from this place was amazing such a good restaurant the staff were so friendly. One of the best curries I've had whilst travelling abroad. We also tried a thai dish and it was also really good.

Right in the market area a good place to be at. However we felt that they used same oil to fry veg and non-veg items.

The best Indian food! The portion of one meal is enough for 2 people and the service was awesome and reasonably priced... a must visit

The Papaya is my all-time favourite restaurant on Koh Phi Phi. I came here first 20 years ago when it was still a hidden gem with the best curries in Thailand, then again 10 years ago - and discovered that they were still going strong, actually better than ever, with the loveliest of chefs, Nod, who thank God survived the tsunami. He makes the best Thai food on the island. The Indian food is also great. 🙏❤️

Probably one of the best food and authentic taste we tried both indian and thai . we stay 3 night in phi phi and come daily for lunch and dinner. Hope to come again

Had a lovely dinner here. We had the chicken madras, cooked less spicy and it was delicious. The chicken fried rice was good and the shrimp pad Thai was standard.

Really enjoyed our meal here. There is a Thai and an Indian chef and we tried a bit of both. Got the Massamum curry, fried fish in chili sauce and chicken thigh tandoori. My favorite was the fried fish in chili (not very spicy but flavorful and the sauce was quite sweet) but everything was good! If I could give it a decimal rating I would give it a 4.4 but giving a 5 since I disagree with the current 4.1
