Mama's kitchen — Restaurant in Phang-nga Province

A hidden gem with incredible food and a unique surprise!

Mama’s Kitchen quickly became one of our favorite spots on the island. We loved walking there from our resort along the beach in the evening, and the experience was always magical. One of the most unforgettable sights was passing by a herd of buffalo from a nearby farm, standing in the shallow waters—it felt like something out of a dream!

The food here was absolutely perfect—every dish was full of flavor, fresh, and made with care. We enjoyed it so much that we came back twice during our stay. The owners were extremely kind and welcoming, which made the atmosphere even more special.

One of the most unexpected and fascinating things was what happened behind the restaurant. Instead of throwing away leftover food, they tossed it out the back, where hundreds of crabs were waiting to feast. It was like a natural crab farm, and we had never seen anything like it before!

The restaurant has been recently renovated, and they also have a small shop with handmade crafts and other unique items. If you’re looking for a cozy place with delicious food and a bit of island magic, Mama’s Kitchen is definitely...

I would certainly recommend everyone in the area to go visit Mamas Kitchen to taste honest, well crafted local dishes in a...

Mama's Kitchen is our favourite restaurant on this entire island! Food is cooked with best and always fresh ingredients. In everything served I can taste the love which is used while cooking - you really can taste it! The whole family is involved in the business and that makes it a perfect experience for everybody who wants to taste Thailand. And when you have questions about Thailand you can ask and you receive very valuable information. We learned a lot! Having dinner and watching the sun fade into the Andaman sea is unique. Food you can have spicy or less (european style) spicy, or you can enjoy several Thai dishes vegeterian, if you like. Drinks are also very tasty and fresh!...
