It has been here for decades — Israel&rsquo;s long-standing Thai agricultural worker community brought real home cooking with it, and a generation of Israeli backpackers came back from Khao San Road wanting <em>pad thai</em>, <em>som tam</em> and green curry that actually tasted like the trip. The result is a Thai scene that is broader and deeper than any other Asian cuisine in the country: Carmel Market alone has a cluster of tiny Isan kitchens, and you will find a Thai restaurant in almost every city from Nahariya to Eilat.</p>https://asiansinisrael.com/directory/eisan/Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0300https://asiansinisrael.com/directory/eisan/<h2 class="relative group">The place <div id="the-place" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#the-place" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <p>Eisan (איסאן / อีสาน) is a small, family-run Thai kitchen tucked into the south end of Carmel Market at Rabbi Akiva 22, Tel Aviv. The name refers to the <strong>Isan region of northeast Thailand</strong> — the rural, Lao-adjacent belt that gives Thai food its most fiercely flavoured cooking: pounded salads, chilli-forward stir-fries, sticky rice, and generous use of lime, fish sauce, padek, galangal and fresh bird&rsquo;s-eye chilli. The owners come from Isan, and they&rsquo;ve kept the menu close to what you&rsquo;d actually eat on the street in Khon Kaen or Udon Thani rather than softening it for a Tel Aviv palate.</p>
