Good professional service with plenty of seating available inside. All your favourites that you would expect from a Thai restaurant. I was a little disappointed that they did not have one of the entrees available or crispy pork as advertised. Good choice of beer and wines as well as non alcoholic drinks available. Plenty of parking available as well.
What a great Thai find in Auckland! Definitely recommended and the curries aren’t so creamy and right amount of spices. Oh yea...must mention about the ambience too. Felt like we were in Thailand when you step into the restaurant. Very friendly staff as well!
My first time here. I love everthing in this Papaya Thai restaurant. This place was sent me home. I m Thai but I am so impressed how beautiful the food and the asmospher in restaurant. I feel like home. Love this place and definitely will go back again.

Hands down the best Thai restaurant I have been to in New Zealand! Chewy, delicious pad thai noodles, savoury and tender beef Massaman curry, sticky rice, puffy, flakey roti...worth every penny. Take even the most thai food averse folks here to convert them to the thai palate! Coming back often!
Great Thai food here and I love that they have a special vegetarian section on their menu.
Beautifully themed and complimented with great service and food at reasonable prices. Will be back 👍
Beautiful Thai style decorations. Foods are authentic taste of thai. Moreover, the service is very good made me feel like home.
Really great atmosphere with good lighting, decor and vibes.
The staff were attentive and friendly, and the traditional Thai food was outstanding. Will most definitely be coming back for more!
Has large seating areas too - so it is well suited for events and functions, not a bad alcohol menu either ;)
The highlight was the peanut butter chicken 🐔 😋 thanks again for the delightful experience!
What a great place. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted by a lovely gentleman who seated us straight away. Then the beautiful waitress came along and helped with suggestions of what to have. The food came quickly and was delicious. We will definitely be going again.
The only Thai place I currently trust on the North shore.
Most pseudo-Thai places cook oily , sweet or bland goop and pass it off in containers for a lot of money.
However this one is different, they actually make it tasty and hot.
Very quick service (they cook very quickly ,in under 10 minutes sometimes) and decent portions provided.
I hate the days I crave Thai and they are closed.
The best thai restaurant in Auckland so far. Food was super delicious!! We had tom yum, whole fried fish and soft shell crab. Everything was superb. Will definitely come here again when we visit Auckland again. And the staff are lovely!! Overall awesome experience.
We loved the food and would definitely recommend this place. Sophia took really good care and listened to what we wanted. The food quality and taste is amazing 👏 our pad thai had fresh peppercorns loved it and will definitely be back although we stay far. Thank you guys.
Comfortable seating, lots of options, from quiet tables for two , to large group tables, booths and even a banquet room. Food was beautiful. Spicy means what it says here but there were still lots and lots of options if you have a cowardly palette like me! Something for everyone. Soft drinks were a generous size if you have children. By far the stand out was the service though. A masterclass in how to treat your customers. A few waiters/waitresses I know could learn a thing or two from these people. Outstanding. Prices were very reasonable - we had entree, main, desert, coffee and drinks for roughly $55pp. Will certainly be going back.
I highly recommend Papaya to all. Not only is the restaurant lovely, but the staff are incredible and food tastes amazing. This is me and my partners favorite Thai! We always enjoy our food and every time we go in the staff are just so lovely and welcoming. Please go and support local, the amazing team at Papaya Albany deserve it :)
Visited here for lunch for the first time today, was pretty packed so there was bit of wait but def worth it! Best Thai food Ive had so far and great prices too (pad thai for $9.50!!) Staff was also very friendly, greet u with a smile (doesn't happen often these days) and plenty of parking spaces for a large restaurant which was extra convenient. I left here with such a great impression today (plus full belly :P) Keep up the great work! Will def be back!
My wife and I dined here 7 or 8 weeks ago and were very happy with our experience there. The tom yum was one of the best I have had, the green curry was delicious!
I would definitely go back to Papaya!
Probably the best Thai restaurant we have been to! From the beautiful decor to the friendly happy staff to the amazing food, everything about this place is top notch! Really reasonably priced, and more than enough food, everything tasted delicious the wait staff were great, we will definitely be back again. ( My only tiny complaint was they had no Rose' wine but wasn't an issue as I got a Pinot Gris instead which was very nice).
