Mama kitchen & Moonbar

4.2(350 reviews)

Sitting in the Nong Thale subdistrict of Krabi, Mama Kitchen & Moonbar operates as a combined dining and bar venue that caters to travellers and locals alike throughout the day. The dual concept brings together a casual kitchen serving meals from mid-morning through to the evening, alongside the Moonbar, which provides a social setting for those looking to wind down with drinks after exploring the surrounding area. The venue is affiliated with Krabi Home Resort, making it a convenient option for guests staying on-site as well as visitors passing through.

The atmosphere leans relaxed and unfussy, suited to casual dining rather than formal occasions. Guests can expect a straightforward menu and an easygoing environment that works equally well for a midday lunch stop or an evening meal. The Moonbar element adds an after-dinner dimension without the venue tipping into nightlife territory, keeping things accessible for a broad range of travellers.

A practical note for visitors: the kitchen opens at 10:00 and closes at 21:00 every day of the week, offering consistent hours with no mid-week closures to plan around. Those intending to visit in the evening should aim to arrive before 20:00 to allow enough time for both food and drinks before service ends. Casual attire is entirely appropriate, and no booking information is listed on the website, so dropping in appears to be the standard approach.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

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.
