"Khao" translates to rice, essential element of Thai culture and history for thousands of years. Thai customs and beliefs are centered around rice, which plays crucial role in nutrition. In Thailand, no meal is complete without rice, as seen in the phrase “to eat” (kin khao). Khao Thai, named by Mrs. Anong Chiturai, is headed by Chef Nitaya Chiturai, who boasts over 40 years of experience in prestigious venues like Chatuchak Market and the Thai embassy in the Netherlands. Our kitchen team upholds high standards of freshness and quality. As a participant in the Thai Select program, Khao guarantees that at least 60% of our menu features authentic Thai dishes. We opened our doors on March 28, 2004, with grand ceremony on Thai New Year’s Day (April 13), striving to provide an Thai dining experience in Ottawa, complete with traditional dishes and a variety of craft cocktails.
