Lucky Khao prides itself on sourcing ingredients from local farmers, ensuring freshness, and supporting the community. The organic meat used in their dishes is not only of the highest quality but also ethically sourced. You can feel the passion and attention that are put into each dish with every bite you take. Choose between dishes such as curries, khao soi, Thai BBQ chicken, larb & som tum, and more.

Food comes out when it’s cooked, so it is recommended that you order as you go along. The menu doesn’t offer a huge variety, but it’s a great location for anyone with allergies as they have an easy-to-follow allergy guide. Dishes on the menu include mild and spicy options, and a unique feature of the restaurant is that you get to make your own ‘Thai wraps’.
