Mai Thai

Mai's Thai Takeaway in the Shiney Row / Penshaw direction east of Houghton-le-Spring is a dedicated Thai takeaway — a genuinely uncommon cuisine in the wider DH4 area, where Cantonese-British, Bangladeshi-Indian and pizza-and-kebab dominate. The kitchen runs traditional Thai curries, stir-fries and vegetarian / tofu options across the menu.

The shop runs its own ordering across multiple domain variants (maisthaitakeaway.com / mais-thai.co.uk / maithaionline.co.uk) and is listed on TripAdvisor. Collection from Eden Terrace / Grieves Buildings parade.
