This place is a great place to have lunch before visiting the Nam Lod caves. The lady who helped us was very kind and the food even better. As mentioned on the signs every dish is made from scratch which you could taste. We took the fried chicken with curry and steamed rice.

Beautiful setting, quiet. Her food has such flavour. Had Fried Garlic and Pepper chicken twice. Mango shake great. Perfectly cooked and very good size. Such reasonable prices. Please do stop before or after visiting caves.

Great food and friendly service in a beautiful setting. We tried three different entrees for lunch and all were delicious. Specifically recommend the Larb!

This restaurant is strategically placed near Nam Lod Cave, a popular tourist attraction in Pai. Moreover, the food is also great. I recommend the fried yellow curry. There are many friendly cats that sit at a corner, but you approach them, they will not do anything at all. One even rubbed its head against me. Overall, this restaurant is great.

Loved this place, owner lady was lovely as well. Had a late night meal here last night, came again for lunch today. Second time visiting here, our favourites were the chicken coconut soup and the yellow curry. We also bought some organic mini bananas from her. She only charged 1 baht per banana. Loved the fried ginger chicken rice too. When the owner saw us she stopped us to give us 500 baht which apparently we dropped last night! :oo Super delicious and really great people here. Wifi available and clean sitting toilet.

Spotted all the other good reviews and can confirm ... it is indeed worthy of being top rated!! Popped in after visiting the caves for lunch - incredibly busy with locals and visitors alike. Food - fantastic and to be honest they should up their prices here for the quality and taste produced!! Parking - space for 5 cars and plenty of areas for scooters. Views - get the correct tables and you'll have a really nice view over the diverse vegetation. Whilst it's on the street as there's hardly any traffic it's a little oasis! Would totally recommend after your cave trip.

The restaurant is located near the Nam Lod Cave, which makes the setting truly beautiful and the atmosphere very peaceful. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The waitress was very warm and welcoming. I love the fact that I could watch the papaya for my papaya salad being picked straight from the tree right in front of me.
