• Thai • Carbondale
Booked 5 times today
Ours isn’t a traditional Thai restaurant. We are not Thai. We’re not even Asian. Not even close. Hell, we’ve only visited Thailand!Don’t try to compare our green curry or phat thai with your favorite spot in Thailand. Ours is likely not equal to the one you remember, just different. Our curries aren’t striving to replicate that one you had at your favorite Thai restaurant in LA. That one’s probably better, and next time you visit, we’d like for you to bring us some take-out.Our cravings always migrate towards Asian, particularly Thai. The smell of mint, cilantro, and peanuts, the radiant warmth of Thai chili, the satisfying richness and funk of fish sauce, the acidic slap in the face of lime. It’s as heart-warming to us as our grandmother’s cooking… except, of course, she wasn’t Thai either.We simply try to serve good food and drink. This is our homage, our adoration, and our inspiration – this is our joint in SE Asia – our version anyways.

    Excellent service and delicious Thai food. Enjoyed the outside seating area; inside was a bit dark and loud. Staff were very attentive, friendly and efficient.

    A big fan of Mawa and was excited to try Mawita. Suffice to say it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful ambiance, good music and a great menu that isn’t over the top indulgent. Very well priced and most of the items have the Mawa touch which makes it an exciting culinary adventure beyond the typical tapas joint. Shared a lot of dishes with our friends and they were all fabulous.

    I’ve been coming to eat here for the past 8 years and have always been impressed with the food and service. It is expensive, but if you’re looking for a place to splurge on one meal this is the spot. The food is terrific.
