Review by Makenna Fisher

Thai Cafe in Durham is a delightful spot for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors!

I enjoyed the papaya salad topped with fresh jerky, a unique twist that was surprisingly delicious. The green curry was bursting with flavor, and the fried tofu was a fantastic first experience!

Service was friendly, making us feel right at home. While I wish the pad thai had a bit more kick, the overall atmosphere was casual and inviting.

Don’t miss their gluten-free coconut cake - absolutely divine! 🍰 Would definitely recommend!
