coutsa Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi all, Am hitting Pattaya in a few weeks and am wondering if you had any suggestions for any good Arabic/Lebanese/Turkish restaurants around Pattaya? Ate the the Lebanese one on Central Festival, 6th Floor I think from memory and was ok, but stingy on portions. Also ate at the Iranian one on Second rd and that was awful. Any suggestions?

PattayaParent Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I've been to the Lebanese restaurant on the corner of Soi VC and that was good. They don't sell booze though. There's a Turkish restaurant on Soi Yume, at the side of Carrefour that is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangBuddha Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I will second the recco for Ala Turka, the Turkish resto on Soi Yume opposite Carrefour. This place has been around for years (at its 2nd Road location) and has earned a good rep. from those of us who enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine. I've been to the Lebanese restaurant on the corner of Soi VC and that was good.They don't sell booze though. There's a Turkish restaurant on Soi Yume, at the side of Carrefour that is good too.

Lost in LOS Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 the one at the beginning of soi marine [just past entrance to bangkok bank parking lot] is pretty good and they are friendly to non arabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) I've been to the Lebanese restaurant on the corner of Soi VC and that was good.They don't sell booze though. There's a Turkish restaurant on Soi Yume, at the side of Carrefour that is good too. Second the suggestion for the Lebanese on the corner of Soi VC. Best bet in town. Not only Lebanese food, but also pan-Arabic. It's called Shamy Taste. If you have trouble understanding their menu (even though in English) because it is kind of an odd format, talk to one of the older men owners, they are a bit dour but happy to make suggestions. For example if you order a rice dish they will suggest you order a side of soup-veg-sauce to go with it. BTW, their Arabic style nan bread is excellent there, better than their Lebanese bread, ironically. Edited March 22, 2010 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godolphin Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Soi 16 Walking St, where one of Tony's gyms is, has several. I have bought take away from several of them and have not been disappointed. Being a falang I raised a few eyebrows once or twice but I have always been treated respectfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd barrett Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I've been to the Lebanese restaurant on the corner of Soi VC and that was good. Last time I went there this place was very good indeed. In fact, time for a re-visit this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Will give it a try - found a couple kebab places w/salad that weren't half bad on 2nd Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
