Thai Zaap Cafe

Thai Zaap Cafe serves authentic Thai food in a warm, family-friendly setting in Metairie. The kitchen is known for its pineapple curry, a red curry with coconut milk and Thai basil that includes fresh bamboo, bell peppers and pineapple. Signature dishes draw on the flavors of Thailand's Northeastern region, and the menu runs from classic favorites to house specialties.

Weekday lunch specials, served with a spring roll and steamed rice, are a good midday value, and dinner service runs into the evening with later hours on weekends. Vegetarian dishes are made with vegetable stock and contain no meat or seafood. Orders can be placed online or by phone, and the cafe also offers catering.
