Serving up a mixture of Thai and Laotian dishes, the food at Twelve Spices is always cheap, authentic and really good. Enter through the huge glass sliding door, rub the collection of Buddha bellies and prepare for a Thai/Laotian treat. The menu is made up of 59 dishes, which include an intriguing Lao salad selection, as well as the more familiar Thai dishes.

Be sure to try one of their fresh fruit shakes and a papaya salad is a must at any Thai/Lao restaurant. Both counties have slight variations of this dish and the salads are made to order so you can specify how hot you would like it.
