What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Kam Thai is lauded as an absolute gem in Luxor, offering incredibly authentic and flavorful Thai cuisine that provides a welcome break from local dishes. Diners consistently praise the friendly and humorous service, the cozy ambiance, and the excellent value for money. The homemade chili paste and shrimp coconut rice are frequently highlighted as must-try items, with many visitors returning for a second meal.
"This is an incredible local gem that was only a short walk from our hotel. It was so delicious the first night that we came back our second night. The owner is a lovely lady from Thailand who has been in Egypt for 17 years making incredible food at good value. You are tucked away in a hole in the wall off a quiet street, which was the perfect way for us to relax after the hustle of Egyptian culture. If you are in Luxor, this is a must stop."

"Amazing Thai food made by a friendly Thai woman living in Luxor for 17 years. Small place, takes cash only. Also good delivery. Great break from Egyptian food!! Definitely worth it!"
Alison Quartaro
"This place is an absolute gem! The service is incredible—friendly with a great sense of humor. The food is fantastic. The space is cozy yet welcoming, and they even offered to turn on the AC to ensure our comfort. Despite arriving close to their closing time, they were extremely hospitable and welcoming. The restaurant is open Monday to Thursday from 3 PM to 9 PM, but you can also enjoy their food on Sundays at the Gezirah Garden Hotel on the West Bank, where they serve at a fully licensed open-air restaurant. I highly recommend Kam Thai to anyone seeking incredible hospitality and authentic Thai food in Luxor."

Everything was made fresh (chicken, vegetables and noodles in the pad see ew) and seasoned perfectly (that perfect mesh of sweetness and savory flavor in Thai food). I only wish we hadn’t found it right before our flight out, or I would have visited and eaten more!
