I am a frequent visitor of this place. The food is authentic at a very good price, and the workers are friendly and attentive. Try their lunch special for $9-$10 or regular dishes for $12+ during dinner hours. You can choose from many different spice levels.

Fabulous pad kee mow! Not too sweet like some, a little charred flavor which I love, lots of veggies, Tofu cooked to perfection. My husband had the yellow curry and it was rich and delicious - again, more authentic because it wasn’t super sweet. I’ll out this place in my contacts in case we come through here again!

This little gem of a restaurant is well worth a visit! The staff was very helpful with suggestions/refills/etc. and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the Pad Kee Mao which I'd highly recommend. I'd say that I can handle spice reasonably well and if you'd agree, I'd say go higher than a level 3 as there was some spice but not as much as I would've preferred. There were no other people eating in the restaurant which I thought was odd but there was a steady stream of delivery drivers which lends credence to my recommending this restaurant.

Great food!

Ordered takeout and it was still steaming when I got home. Prompt service too so didn't wait long at all.

Both of our curries were fantastic as were the sides. Good portion sizes!

Can't wait to try dine in next time and try more dishes.

I ordered takeout from here. We ordered two pad see ew orders. Instead of the usual thick noddles, I received tiny thin hard noodles with hardly any vegetables or meat or sauce. I've ordered this dish from dozens of Thai restaurants and never seen whatever this was...

We've tried many Thai restaurants in Indiana. Thai Papaya is by far the best and most authentic Thai foods.

Really good flavors and priced really well!

I’ve been to Thailand. This place has good and authentic Thai food— medium spicy can be still quite spicy so just watch the spice level. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing , I could eat there everyday.

The Tom Ka was fantastic. Great service and nice staff

Best Thai restaurant for the price and amazing food there as well.

Great food, friendly service.

Really good flavors and priced really well!

Look no further for Thai food in Indy. The best since they were the Thai House on Michigan Road.

Had the mango curry and pineapple rice. Fantastic meal, friendly service, beautiful and well managed interior! Would definitely recommend 😃

I could give the food and service 10000 stars I would thank you amazing food.

Had the Thai Rice with Chicken and Shrimp for lunch today and it was absolutely fantastic. I got the dish medium spice and it was not too spicy. I normally go to Siam Square for Thai food but this was just as good if not better!!!!

Great food, had the pad Thai chicken.

First visit. Food and service were excellent. Very busy at lunch which is a great sign. I will be back to explore the dinner menu.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Indianapolis. Great lunch menu. Great service.

My red curry lunch was so delicious, so quick and great service.
I’ll be back soon.

The pad Thai, Tom yum soup, and spring rolls were all delicious! Highly recommend.

Наконец-то нашел вкусный томкха в Америке

I went there with a friend for lunch. The food was wonderful, the service excellent, and the price very reasonable. Authentic Thai food. I had the cashew and vegetables. It's in a strip mall and not a fancy restaurant, a hidden gem.

Delicious! Will definitely go back!

Great food. Flavor is good ,portions are good .The price is good too

We've tried many Thai restaurants in Indiana. Thai Papaya is by far the best and most authentic Thai foods.

Stumbled upon this place while working in the area..SO good! You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu and their staff is incredibly friendly and gave great service. During lunch in the middle of the week no less!

Very bare bones Thai joint. This place has excellent service and food. I couldn't ask for more really. Doesn't have much seating inside but it seems to really be good for delivery or takeout.

I won't order again. I added shrimp to my order for $3 and had maybe 4 small freezer burnt and over cooked shrimp in my food with tails. Most of the food was unrecognizable. It was supposed to be pad kee mao but there were no noodles or bell peppers, It was a waste of my money and I felt sick after. Very disappointed

Who is giving this place less than 5 stars??? It’s top notch Thai in the most unassuming and wonderful place. Anthony Bourdain would be proud of the community keeping this place alive. You won’t regret it. Tempura egg plant is a MUST!!

Food always great, best Thai around! Always get their Pad Thai because its addicting. Fried rice was really good too! Prices are reasonable and Lunch portions are generous.

We went first time here, Food was delicious, Staff were courteous too .ironically red curry with chicken has too many beans otherwise really good,Highly recommended Chilli Shrimp Chef special must try 👌

Absolutely delicious!!! Affordable too. The service was prompt and kind. Tastes just like Thailand!

There is not a lot to get excited about regarding the location and/or the interior BUT the food is awesome. Very friendly staff and they do a great job getting the carryout orders done on time. The appetizers are delicious...especially the rice paper rolls...the basil fried rice is outstanding...we have ordered quite a few dishes and have loved them all. Only warning is that their "hot" level is accurate...order too spicy and you are on your own!!! But just really good thai food!!!

Always an absolute slam dunk. The sticky mango rice is amazing and if you like curry, the mango curry is AMAZING. My favorite take out. Period.

It is great. Highly recommend

very good food and drink! I congratulate you for that and for the excellent care. We asked for diet sugar and the only thing they have is sweetn low… this is a very old product on the market and harmful for diabetics. Improve that and you will own the 5 star.

Best Thai food

Very pleasant experience! The food was excellent! We ate in. There were also a number of take out orders while we were there. This is definitely now on our list of go to places.

Stopped here after a soccer game. Food was fresh and fantastic! Best Thai in a while!

Very glad I stopped in for some Pad Thai, it was delicious!

This place is a hit and miss. Spring rolls were cooked in old oil, no taste and over cooked. Tilapia had no flavor. When they’re slow the food is not good. When they’re busy the food is good. Use to be a hit every single time.

This is our favorite neighborhood Thai restaurant. Our favorite go-to dish is their pineapple veggie fried rice, medium heat, and a spring roll with a serving of red curry chicken, medium heat, and a spring roll. The lunch price is just right.

Omg the spring rolls and pad Thai is a must have it was sooo good best pad Thai I've ever had

Top notch Thai food

I LOVE this place, super good always, only took off a star because my red curry is only 2/3 of the way full! I don't see an option to add a photo or I would

Pad See Ew was full of flavor and the woks are definitely hot enough! Perhaps my favorite of the Zionsville Thai food options. The inside space is not as flashy but two years later I find this is my regular haunt over all others.

Always yum! Love their healthier stir fry dishes too and the curries are soul-warming!

Who cares about atmosphere when the food is so good?? Consistently authentic, fresh and delicious. Addictive! Love this place.

Eat lunch here frequently!! Always delicious and fresh.

Great authentic this cuisine.

Very nice snapshot lunch menu. The Noodle Soup was fantastic and the service was great.

Great Thai curry!

Good food and service.

It's possible that it's just the dishes we ordered (red curry and rama thai) given the exceptional reviews for this place, but our food was extremely underwhelming. The red curry had what I can only describe as an odd 'musk' to it that made for an odd smell and taste. The peanut sauce for the rama thai was remarkably thick and close to what I imagine you would get by mixing peanut butter and a small amount of water. We don't intend to order from here again.

best Thai restaurant I've had in a long time and service was friendly and really quick. loved our noodles, shrimp, and soup.

Great food and friendly people!

Thai Papaya is a small, spicy, and pleasant restaurant to experience. The food is freshly prepared and offers an authentic experience. My former coworker and I love coming here.

Excellent khao soy! Best I've had since Chiang Mai.

The meals are slightly on the smaller side.

Awesome place. Had the pad prikk king with chicken. I got hot and... It was hot. Loved it but don't think I could handle the hottest.

Great food! I really like the pineapple rice. :)
Good option for lunch.

The food is good and the give huge portions

Talk about great bang for you buck! Incredible food here. One of the best Thai restaurants in Indianapolis!

Best Thai around. Frequently get Rangoons, red curry, yellow curry, pad thai, pad see ew & fried rice. All delicious!!

Couldn’t be happier with the service, and the food here is amazing. Wonderful people!

Very delicious excellent service

Good lunch spot! Fast and delicious!

My favorite Thai place in Indy. They aren't afraid to offer their food "Thai spicy" after a quick check you're sure. A refreshing break from this bland Midwestern hellscape.

Good food

Pineapple fried rice is delicious but not noodles soup

I had been looking for a good Thai place as one of my favorites closed down. Thai papaya has incredible dishes. The green curry, pad Thai and kao pad are my favorite. Good portions and great quality food.

Very tasty food.

Loved the food the waiter was extremely nice. Would recommend to anyone.

This has been my favorite Thai restaurant since I found it in 2015! Their service and food are extremely satisfactory and you get a great amount of food for the price. Highly recommend trying Thai Papaya!!

I’ve been to Thailand. This place has good and authentic Thai food— medium spicy can be still quite spicy so just watch the spice level. 10/10 would recommend

First time been there.
The service is awesome and helpfull, place ia clean, good price and the food is on point
Definately come back

I got the yellow curry for lunch. The curry had great flavor. I added veggies and there were more than an adequate amount. The veggies were all cooked to perfection. There was enough food in my meal that I will have keftovers for a couple of meals.

Excellent lunch menu with prompt and friendly service! They let you choose the spiciness; I chose medium and it was spicier than I expected, but still delicious.

AMAZING! We’ve been going here for years. Some of the best Thai food in Indy.

One of my favorites.
Hole in the wall, by definition. Located in an unassuming strip mall behind the McDonalds.
Awesome food at very reasonable prices.
Get there early, seating is limited during periods of high demand.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Indy. The food is delicious and the service is great. They always have me in and out during lunch hours as well.

Great food and the owners are super nice!

Best Thai food in Indianapolis. They take such pride in quality.

Excellent service and great food!

Pretty good thai food, the flavors are there for sure, but they're sometimes cheap/skimpy with the ingredients!

Fantastic Food at a Great Price!!

Lovely staff and authentic Thai food.

We love this place! They have the best Thai food in indy.

Staff and food were great! Spiciness was made to order. Loved the papaya and sticky rice for dessert

Thai Papaya never disappoints! The food is tasty and hot, the staff is always friendly and responsive. Although the building is modest the team at Thai Papaya excels every time! Give them a try, you won’t regret it!

Amazing food. The pineapple fried rice and drunken noodles are some of the best I've had in the country! And an amazing value for money.

Very tasty

Easy top 10 Thai restaurants I've been too. Highly recommend to anyone who loves Thai, also the spices are well labeled for American spicy vs. Actually Thai spicy. Average people should get the medium.

I did not have a good experience my first time eating here. I was surprised because all the reviews were great. Cold spring roll. The Wings were dipped in grease to reheat. Not fresh. After seeing my review the manager contacted me and remade my order! Maybe they just had an off night. Def worth going.

Was a little leary because I was from out of town, but the food and the atmospere was great. Tasty dishes and good spice.

Ordered Pad Kee Mao and it was absolutely delicious. I’ve tried almost every Thai place in Indy and this is one of my new favorites.

Great food for both dine in and carry out!

Its okay.not the best.

Delicious!!!

So delicious! Absolutely planning to go again. Spring roll, fried rice, and lemon grass soup (better than you think!)
Entrées are the Pla Rad Prik (fish, veggies in delicious sweet chili sauce) and the Gai Yaang (grilled chicken, veggies in awesome sauce). Both ordered with medium spiciness, which was perfect.

Gimme more Pad Kee Mow and Thai Tea please!!!

I love this Thai restaurant. It is my favorite in the area. Always hot and great. Large portions. Friendly staff. This place is great. If you want Thai food, this is your place.

Great Food and friendly staff...one of our favorite places...

Tried several Thai places in the area before finally finding the one that met my expectations. Red curry chicken is my go to and this place does it right. Food is always delicious and portions are huge, as they should be at a Thai place. Love their lunch specials, great deal.

Delicious food and friendly service!

Great food

Great service great plentiful food

Love this perfect neighborhood restaurant that has great Thai food and good prices

Went to this place with a friend who frequents about once a week. It was okay. I would go back but nothing overly fantastic stands out about it.

I am not a thai fan... but wife, mom-in-law, and sis-in-law are. So here we are. It's a smallish, diner-type of spot located in a strip mall. Sounds worse than it actually is. The food was actually great... and a LOT of it. So if you are looking for really good Thai food with ok service, ok attitude, and ok ambiance at a great price... here it is. And as a new Thai fan, I'll go again.

Great food!

Ordered takeout and it was still steaming when I got home. Prompt service too so didn't wait long at all.

Both of our curries were fantastic as were the sides. Good portion sizes!

Can't wait to try dine in next time and try more dishes.

I enjoyed the pineapple fried rice. My extended family all liked their food. And as a plus our big take out order was correct!

Large portion, low price, family friendly

This place has amazing food. I've never been disappointed.

Great food and service!!?!

Delicious food for such a reasonable price. Can’t beat it!

Always great food!

Such good food!!! Wonderful staff & owner. Love supporting this local business through eating some of my favorite food. They also have stamp cards that allow to earn free food.

Delicious thai food, quick service, and reasonably priced

Delicious every time!!

I have visited Thailand a number of times. The food here is a

The prices are low, the portions are big, and the food is yummy. I will be back.

Amazing food!

Chai tee is excellent and food is pretty good to. The wait staff was very attentive.
