During our 7-day trip to Railay, Mangrove Railay became our go-to spot for lunch and dinner. We couldn’t help but come back every single day—we fell in love with this place! Food: Every dish is a masterpiece. From the Pad Thai to the green curry, from the fresh papaya salad to the grilled seafood, everything is made with the freshest ingredients and incredible attention to detail. We tried something different every day, and every time the flavors blew us away. Atmosphere: Set among the mangroves, the restaurant offers a unique and relaxing vibe. The evening breeze and breathtaking views make every meal a special experience. At night, the soft lighting creates a magical atmosphere. Service: The staff is outstanding. They were always friendly, smiling, and eager to accommodate any request. After the first day, they even remembered our preferences, which made us feel right at home. Price: Excellent value for money. Considering the quality of the food, the service, and the location, it’s worth every baht spent. We couldn’t have picked a better spot to spend our week in Railay. We highly recommend Mangrove Railay to anyone visiting the area. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you feel special,...
Read moreWe were very happy with our dinner at the Mangrove restaurant tonight. There are many dishes available and seems more reasonably priced than a lot of other restaurants on Railay. We ordered Kao Soi and Som Tham and Pad Thai with a mango and mango/passionfruit smoothie. Everything was delicious. Portions were good/generous. They ask how spicy you like it and provided chilis so I could decide how much to add to the soup. The service is very friendly and kind and there is lots of seating available. Food arrived quickly. We will be coming back!
Edit: Came back again for a second time because we visited other places and just didn’t get food as good as here. The place was BUMPING busy but the food still arrived quickly. Stop looking for a good place to eat Thai food in Railay Bay— this is it!
Another edit: (came back five times) HONOURABLE MENTIONS OF WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER: any of the set menus with the smoothie (I recommend the Kao Soi with a mango/passion fruit smoothie) grilled chicken fish in Penang curry sauce grilled squid any of the stir fries (we like chicken in...
Read moreThe two of us went to eat at the restaurant yesterday. At first, the waiter took our order in an unfriendly manner. I ordered a set meal: Pad Thai + papaya salad + mango smoothie. The menu showed Pad Thai with shrimp, but it was actually served with chicken, so I complained to the waiter. He then tried to convince me that he had asked me whether I wanted hands or shrimp. This was definitely not the case. Because he didn't want to accept the complaint, he wanted confirmation from my companion. Since the question was never asked, my companion confirmed my statement. In the end, my plate was rudely snatched away from me, and I received the same portion of Pad Thai as before. They only removed the chicken and added shrimp, so the portion of Pad Thai was now much smaller than before. My companion thought the green curry was bad. The curry was made with just the green paste and water instead of coconut milk. Furthermore, the portion was very small, about twice the size of a saucer. We'll never...
