Bua Khao: Travel Back in Thai

Part of the charm of Bua Khao is when you call ahead for directions and the owner answers the phone in her cheerful Thai sing-song accent. Located off of the busy Horreya Square in Maadi, the location is a bit confusing; but look out for the Bank of Abu Dhabi, Cellardoor Bistro and Cavalli Corner. Bua Khao is next door.

Up the steps and into the restaurant we go, where photocopied signs tacked to the wall alert us that WE DON'T USE MSG, or merely state menu items, such as SHRIMPS AND YELLOW CURRY LE 38. More..

Testimonials

“ I lived in Thailand for 4 years and I love Thai food. The Bua Khao's owner, Khun Toy, has been living in Cairo for the past 20 years. She created this restaurant and many followed all around Egypt. The chefs are all Thai and she imports most of her ingredients from Thailand. She is usually around at the restaurant and... ”

“A real Thai experience.”

Seiffahmy

“ We tried their vegetarian dishes and it was just superb. You can bring your booze with you. The only problem is the location - a bit hard to find.”

“Tasty Thai food in town”

Khachadourian

“ I could go there every week. It is really the best Thai food you can eat in Cairo. Maybe the restaurant could be renewed a bit and the toilet is a bit small, but that does not make a difference. They have excellent curries, pad thai, thai soups and in mango season, sticky rice with mango.”
