About Papaya Cammeray

Tired of predictable suburban takeout? Cammeray locals duck in for vibrant Imperial-leaning Thai dishes that comfortably skip the usual templates. Diners pack the dark-wood dining room for khao pad sapparod—a blowtorched pineapple shell piled with turmeric-laced seafood, fresh pineapple, and blistered cherry tomatoes. Pliable roti arrives alongside rich lamb shank massaman, while disassembled banana flower salad lets you balance heat and acidity to taste. Bring a favourite bottle of wine for cheap corkage and settle in over flaky curry puffs and tender pork skewers.

  • Specialty Thai Staples: Blowtorched pineapple fried rice loaded with spiced seafood and customizable banana flower salad anchor an ambitious regional menu.
  • BYO Wine Friendly: Dine-in guests can bring their own wine for six dollars a bottle alongside banquet and private party setups.
  • Accommodating Milestone Gatherings: Personalized birthday touches, flexible function layouts, and fast table service suit family celebrations.

Why Dine at Papaya Cammeray

Distinctive culinary specialties, accommodating celebrations, and convenient dining on the North Shore

  • Imperial-Inspired Specialty Dishes

    Specialized recipes take inspiration from Imperial Thai culinary heritage, featuring pineapple fried rice served in a blowtorched pineapple shell and customizable banana flower salad.

    Pineapple fried rice—khao pad sapparod—served in a hollowed out pineapple looks like a tourist trap, something created for the ‘gram. However, it is thought to have originated in Thailand through Chinese immigration, with the dish having roots in Imperial Thai cuisine.

  • Authentic Regional Thai Depth

    The kitchen serves dishes packed with intense authentic seasoning and balanced flavors that transport diners far beyond standard suburban Thai fare.

    The closest I have tasted to being overseas, have tried many things on the menu (all 10/10 so far) and still plenty to discover.

  • Warm Milestone Celebrations

    Guests can celebrate landmark birthdays with thoughtful touches, custom table decor, handwritten cards, and commemorative photos taken by welcoming staff.

    They decorated the table for my birthday and wrote me a card and took a photo of us. Such a lovely birthday dinner for my 60th.

  • Tailored Function Space with BYO Wine

    The venue accommodates private events with full-restaurant bookings, customized set menus, and adjacent outdoor space suitable for family gatherings.

    We had a 70th birthday function at Papaya. We were able to have the whole restaurant, with a beautiful and affordable set menu and byo wine.

  • Budget-Friendly BYO Wine Flexibility

    Midweek diners and function organizers can bring their own wine for a modest corkage fee, pairing personal cellar choices with upscale Thai cooking.

    And you can bring your own wine for six bucks apiece, making this a well-priced midweek adventure that’s a cut above your average suburban Thai.

Standout authentic specialties and guest-favourite mains

  • Massaman Curry

    massaman beef curry (the beef was amazingly cooked - beef melted in your mouth and wasn’t fatty)

  • Pineapple Fried Rice

    It’s a show-stopper, and not just in a photographic sense.

    Jackie McMillan

  • Banana Flower Salad

    yum hua plee ($26.90)—banana flower salad—arrives disassembled, letting diners balance sour (lemon), sweet (coconut milk and chilli jam) and heat (freshly chopped red chillies) themselves.

  • Roast Duck with Plum Sauce and Star Anise

    The roast duck with plum sauce and star anise was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten.
