Very honest, authentic Thai place. My favourite Thai in Israel so far.
I’ve been to 3-4 places in Israel that are supposed to be authentic, but the quality and consistently left much to be desired.
Here it has been consistently great, great texture and flavours (pad Thai and green curry).

We came to 'Onauma' ( a Thai restaurant ) to celebrate our birthday. It was perfect. When We got in the place seemed small but after a few seconds it was like we were in a different place all together. It feels like Thailand. The service was exceptional, quick, efficient and friendly. But the highlight of the evening was the delicious dishes. They were simple but special, very tasty, and magical. the drinks were unick and the dessert was like the cherry on the top of the cake, it was dreamy. We had the best time ever and the cost wasn't high.
I recommend it warmly!

Dinner at Onauma was just delicious!
All dishes felt authentic and were well prepared. Really recommend the fried chicken dish that was especially tasty. 🍗😋And the tapioca dessert was something special and surprising for sure.
The service was welcoming, and the staff was nice. The atmosphere is super chill.
No doubt we will come back 👌🏼

A small family run business with very tasty and authentic food, quick service and decent prices. Everything that we had was really good with authentic flavors, though they do let fine tune the level of spiciness if you want to tone it down. Rally recommended if you are in the Carmel Market and live Thai food. 🌶️🍛

Super authentic food, highly recommended!
Be warned- many dishes are very spicy 🌶 still one of the best Thai restaurants out of Thailand that I've ever been to.
