Papaya

Papaya is one of Berlin’s most iconic Thai restaurants, known for delivering bold, authentic flavors without compromise. While the original outpost opened in Friedrichshain, it’s the West Berlin locations—especially on Kantstraße and at Südstern—that truly shine. Expect regional Thai dishes that pull no punches: fiery Isaan salads, grilled meats, and deeply aromatic curries. The vibe is no-frills, the spice level unapologetic, and the food consistently excellent. For anyone serious about Thai food in Berlin, Papaya is essential. Just head west for the best experience.

If you want to cry in public, 'Thai-Spicy' here at Papaya is for real. Check the spice level on the menu!
