Tucked into a restaurant strip in the Tha Wa Sukhri subdistrict of Ayutthaya, Burinda stands out among its neighbours for offering honest Thai food at noticeably fairer prices than many nearby competitors. Dishes like pad see ew, papaya salad, spring rolls, and mango sticky rice feature among visitor favourites, and the menu offers a solid selection to suit most tastes. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, with a friendly owner who contributes to the welcoming feel of the place.
Opinions among visitors are generally positive, though experiences can vary. Many diners praise the food as flavourful and excellent value, while some note that wait times can stretch during busy periods and the cooking occasionally leans toward the milder end. For travellers eating on a budget in Ayutthaya, it represents a practical and satisfying choice compared to the pricier tourist-oriented restaurants on the same strip.

Reviews from Google
It was a recommendation on a travelers blog and it didn't disappoint! Our food was so good! I started with Pad see ew and because of the great taste, I ordered spring rolls as an extra and mango sticky rice as dessert.
Excellent value for money restaurant. The food is superb. Good selection of dishes.
Average tourist trap. The food was ok but without any special flavour. We were waiting too long for our meal. The staff were nice and prices friendly at least.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
