Fodor's Review:

Run by a Thai woman who uses ingredients flown in from Bangkok, this restaurant manages mouthwateringly authentic food that has saved many an expatriate longing for massaman or penang curries. The Ma'adi branch is the original and worth the trek because the Nile Hilton annex has an abbreviated menu. Avoid the Chinese food and steer for the Thai: start with a soup, perhaps tom kar gai (chicken and coconut milk), then move on to a delicious glass-noodle salad with shrimp, and end with a curry or two.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
