I recently visited this cozy Thai restaurant and had a great experience. We seated ourselves and were attended to promptly by the staff, who were friendly, attentive, and quick to take our order. The lunch menu offers a nice bonus--a choice of soup or an egg roll on the side. My friend and I tried both, and they were delicious.Though the restaurant is a smaller space, it was comfortably filling up as we finished our meal, showing it's a popular spot. The food itself was flavorful and well-seasoned, with generous portion sizes. I ordered a dish with medium heat, which had a gentle kick, but I personally would have enjoyed a bit more spice. Pricing felt fair, especially considering the quality and portion sizes.Parking is convenient enough, with a small lot that tends to have at least a couple of spaces open, even when it's busy. Overall, this is a solid choice for tasty Thai food with attentive service. I'll definitely be back!

Had a great lunch today of red chicken curry and pad Thai. The lunch specials come with choice of soup, salad or a spring roll. Service today was friendly and fast. We were in a bit of a hurry and they offered to rush our food to help us out. Our kiddos split a pad Thai and still had some left overs for a snack later. It's not a fancy place but it's our "go to" Thai spot and consistently delivers quality food whether dining in or carrying out. My office recently catered a large lunch order and it was a crowd favorite, with several requests to repeat the order again. If the atmosphere were a little brighter and refreshed, I'd give it 5 stars.

When restaurants have been open for decades, trust them. Thai Papaya has been around long before the other 15 Thai restaurants surrounding Zionsville, and it remains excellent! My husband loves Pineapple Fried Rice *only* from Thai Papaya. Add shrimp or veggies to a dish? You'll have no question where your $2-3 went, it's packed full. I'm so grateful they're available on DoorDash so we can enjoy even when we aren't in the immediate area. Each meal includes a soup, salad, or spring roll- they are each delicious!! Ambiance is lovely.

Thai Papaya is one of my favorite restaurants to go for lunch. The restaurant is a tiny hole-in-the -wall in a little crowded strip mall. They have seating for about thirty at a dozen close tables and it fills up quickly, so you need to get there early. There is one large table that can accommodate 8 set-up regularly. The servers are always attentive and friendly. Jip was our server today and he was super. The lunch menu offers a wide selection of Thai favorites and everything on the menu is delicious. I generally start with soup, which is a tasty Thai sour broth, but you have a choice of spring roll or Thai salad. Today, I had the Pad Kee Mao with chicken (aka Drunken Noodles). You can adjust the heat level to your preference and I had medium heat. The sauce is made in-house and delicious. The portion is generous with a lot of crispy vegetables and thick noodles. I like the Pad Thai, too, and I hear the Green Curry is good, as well. They serve dinner, too and do a robust carry-out and delivery business. There is one unisex bathroom that needs some attention. You can get beer or wine.

We were craving Thai food for lunch and ordered through GrubHub. I got the cashew chicken and appreciated that their top dishes were labeled as recommended and that I was able to directly choose spice levels. It came as a lunch special, and I loved the soup and spring roll that came with it. My husband went for pad Thai and loved that too. The rice could use a bit more moisture, but we look forward to coming in person soon to try it fresh, as that's always the best way to enjoy a new dish.

Vibes: Seem to be primarily a DoorDash or delivery place but the service was very fast. It is good for dine in too. I got the pad see ew. It came out fast and hot. The noodles were great with mild spicy flavor. Thai Basil is used and that was one of the highlights because it really adds Thai flavor to the entire dish. Side of Tom yum soup. The veggies are very well stir fried. There is Carrot, bell pepper, crispy crunchy lettuce, and broccoli and they all have a slight stir fry char and aren't undercooked either. The same goes for the egg. Execution was very good because it is not swimming in weird sauce it's properly stir fried and seasoned. Portion size was just right and I had a little to take home for leftovers. $13 made this very very affordable.

Unassuming restaurant in the middle of a shopping center? They also have an amazing lunch special with prices you can't get with quick food options? Fresh and delicious? Sign me up!Boss and I decided to get lunch at the first place that caught our eye and so glad it was Thai Papaya! It is a very simple restaurant with just a few tables but what it may 'lack' in vibe it more than 'makes up for' in food and service.For lunch you get an entree and spring roll for about $10. $10?! You can't get much of anything for $10 anymore (fully leaning in with this). I got the Tom Yum soup with medium hot spice. Oh baby that broth was made with love and layers. And you know how Thai spice can vary. Well I can handle my spice but Lordy my nose was runnnnning. Spring roll was hot and crispy as it ought to be. The server was sooo sweet and took such great care of us! I'll be returning for more spicy tears.
