About Benja Thai
A Thai kitchen in a village this size is a real convenience for anyone living along the Similkameen, and Benja Thai works from 516 7th Avenue in Keremeos. The address sits on the street that carries most of the local coming and going, which makes it a short walk from much of the village and an easy pull off the highway for anyone passing through with the afternoon heat still lifting off the road.
Thai cooking spans a great deal of ground, from clear soups and fresh salads through curries, stir fries and noodle plates, and heat is generally a matter of preference rather than a fixed thing, so it pays to say plainly how hot you want a dish instead of leaving it to chance. Small town kitchens also tend to run leaner through the quiet months and open up again when highway traffic returns, and takeout is often the busier half of the trade on an evening too warm to cook at home.
The number to call is 250-499-2561, and benjathairestaurant.com is there if you would rather look before you phone. A call ahead is sensible when you are driving in from the farms out on the valley floor or down the highway from Princeton, both to get an order started and to be sure the kitchen is working that night, since hours in the Similkameen move with the season. Larger groups, allergy questions such as peanut or shellfish, and anything you want cooked mild are all easier settled on the phone than at the door.
