Find answers to common questions about dining in Warsaw
Pad Thai, green or red curry, pad kra pao (basil‑chili stir‑fry), tom yum, and tom kha appear on most menus. Som tam (green papaya salad) and massaman curry show up often, too. Expect jasmine rice sides, coconut‑rich sauces, and adjustable heat to suit Polish palates and spice‑seeking diners alike.
Most kitchens use a mild‑to‑hot scale-sometimes numbered. If unsure, start at medium and ask for fresh chili or chili flakes on the side. Saying “Thai spicy” signals higher heat. Staff are used to tailoring dishes, but note that soups and curries can intensify as they sit.
Yes. Many menus offer tofu or mixed‑vegetable versions of curries, pad thai, and basil stir‑fries. Ask to swap fish sauce or oyster sauce for soy or a vegan alternative, and confirm egg in noodles or fried rice. Coconut‑milk soups and curries often adapt well to fully plant‑based orders.
Delivery and takeaway are common across central and residential districts. Most places partner with popular local apps and maintain efficient pickup counters. Peak dinner times may extend delivery estimates, and some kitchens pause online orders when fully booked-checking live availability in the listing saves time.
Reservations help on weekends, holidays, and when outdoor seating is in demand. Weeknights are more flexible, and many casual spots keep space for walk‑ins. If booking isn’t possible, aim for early service before 19:00 or come later after the main rush. Always confirm hours on the day.
Tom yum is a clear, hot‑sour soup scented with lemongrass, galangal, and lime, usually sharper and lighter. Tom kha adds coconut milk for a creamier body and gentler heat while keeping those aromatic herbs. Both can be ordered with chicken, prawns, or tofu, and spice levels are adjustable.
Warsaw’s Thai scene balances comfort classics with regional specialties. Expect fragrant curries, wok-fired stir‑fries, and noodle staples that play with sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes. Many kitchens offer tofu swaps and vegetarian takes, while others spotlight seafood or grilled meats. Lunch deals appear on weekdays, with fuller menus at dinner and seasonal outdoor seating in warmer months. Portion sizes are typically generous and spice levels adjustable; asking for medium is a safe start. Delivery and takeaway are widely available across central districts.
