Thai Wok

Male


The Thai food here is good value and authentic, though the best reason to visit is for the thrice-weekly buffet (R140 per person), where you can take your pick of lots of great dishes. The interior of the place is rather charmless, and it can be absolutely packed with tour groups, but the food makes it worth the trip.
