Quaint little place in Maadi serving up some of the best Asian in town. What it lacks in decor and atmosphere it more than makes up for with amazing food. Try the crispy chicken, Thai red curry with sticky rice!

We were talking to friends who live in Cairo. They suggested a small place in Maadi called Bua Khao. It was wonderful Thai food despite being small and not easy to find. We tried six different dishes across our group and suggest the Curry and Pad Thai, which were authentic.

I tried this nice restaurant twice during this week (once with the family and once with friends); actually the food quality is great, except for the jasmine rice (wasn’t so different than the normal steamed rice). The tom yam soup is perfect; the spring rolls it a must. Also as a desert you must try the fried banana with ice... More

We come almost every month, and the food never fails. Fish to chicken and vegetables cooked tve Thai has always been one of our favorite cuisine. Reasonably priced, and a resident Thai chef to prepare authenticatic Thai dishes, thats something worth coming back too.

I know this fabulous restaurant since 1995 - and try to visit as often as possible. The food is simply delicious, the lady-boss will most of the time be present and helpful. I recommend esp. the soups with lemongrass and curry - coco-milk and for the main dish roasted duck with sticky rice. Do not forget to ask for a... More

This restaurant appeared pretty clean (always important in Cairo) and the service was friendly. There were lots of patrons there for dinner, which I thought was a good sign. The food was decent, but it wasn't the best thai food I've ever had. The flavors didn't stand out and the food didn't seem to be as fresh as it should... More

Very good Thai food and timely service. One does not have to wait for too too long before the food is served. Service is average: good but nothing particular.
