Cafe Isan

A Thai restaurant with a loyal Thai clientele. It has to be good, right?

The area surrounding Cluster M, located near the south end of Jumeirah Lakes Towers, is neither here nor there. It’s not on the first loop of JLT, which is more populated, and it’s not an isolated haven away from the city. Cluster M is largely made up of office buildings that are directly opposite the Mövenpick Hotel, but is still very, very quiet.

But we’ve been hearing good things about a little Thai restaurant, Café Isan – specifically that it was not afraid of upping the spice levels to satisfy Thai taste buds, and that the food was far more authentic and more competitively priced than that of many of its competitors.
