This is the sort of restaurant that that term ‘hidden gem’ was coined to describe. Located in the Holiday Inn Al Barsha, it’s not an eatery with the eye-catching presence of the others on this list, but it is well worth seeking out. The Royal Budha treats you to a truly authentic Thai experience with its very regal decor (the highlight of which is a large golden Buddha statue), and punchy, straightforward Thai flavours.
