Thai Garden

Top choice in Entebbe


With a conscientious Thai owner, this restaurant more than delivers with fresh lemongrass in your coconut soup, a red curry both light and spicy, icy beer and fresh green-papaya salad. The lush setting features patio and garden seating surrounded by tropical blooms and sunbirds drinking nectar. It's a delight, though portions are on the small side.
