We had: -Veggie Summer Rolls-very fresh and crunchy and the two sauces they came with were both very good. -Beef Green Curry-really enjoyed the curry flavor and veggies. The beef was a bit tough, kind of common here... -Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice-my favorite! Super tasty and good chicken. -Drinks-my margarita was one of the best I've ever had! Hubby also liked his Mai Tai. -Spiciness-we asked for "very spicy" which is their step below "Thai spicy." It delivered big time! Also the homemade chili sauce (sambol) they bring to the table was no joke, proceed with caution! Service was very good and our server spoke flawless English. Overall, I would highly recommend!

The ambiance was warm and inviting, the host was lovely, and our server, Monika, was fantastic. The drinks were on point--not watered down, perfectly balanced, and crafted to lift your mood. We were genuinely blown away by the quality and flavor of the food. There's so much to talk about! Even the pickle is made in-house--and it was absolutely spot on. We ordered the prawn, chicken, and lamb dishes--each one better than the last. The dal makhani and aatishi kofta were easily the best I've ever had in my life. We even got to meet the chef, Malik--such a sweetheart! Highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine with a touch of magic.

The food itself was good, though not particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the pricing completely overshadowed the experience. As an example, we ordered two Pad Thai dishes. The menu listed Pad Thai at approximately $75 USD for what turned out to be a relatively small portion. The server asked whether we wanted shrimp or beef, and we ordered one of each. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to discover that the beef Pad Thai was priced at $140 USD. When I questioned the charge, I was told that the premium was due to the quality of the beef. While I appreciate the use of quality ingredients, it is difficult to justify a $140 Pad Thai that contained only a few small slices of beef. The pricing felt entirely disproportionate to what was served. I have dined at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, including several three-star establishments, and I have no issue paying for exceptional food and service. However, there is a difference between luxury pricing and pricing that simply feels unreasonable. Unfortunately, in this case, the cost bore little relationship to the value delivered. It's disappointing because the setting is wonderful, but the pricing left us feeling taken advantage of rather than well cared for. As a result, we would not return.

Right when you sit down, they bring these chips with dipping sauces. Then each of us were given a small serving spoon of pad gra pow as another amuse bouche. I was almost full after that! We then shared the satay to start -- to be honest, that would've been sufficient as an entire meal! Three skewers of chicken, and three of beef. I don't know that I'd ever had beef satay before, but it was delicious, as was the peanut sauce. Could definitely be shared by 3 people. I ordered the pad thai with chicken, but could only take a few bites before wrapping it up to take back to our hotel. But what I had, that night and the next one, was delicious. I particularly appreciated that they were willing to make it without fish sauce for me -- some Thai restaurants pre-make their sauces so that cancels out a few dishes for me. Our server could not have been nicer -- and we loved that when we were greeted, we were given the opportunity to wash our hands with flower water. One tip I'll share -- they take spice VERY seriously! So if you're someone who likes spicy food, I'd still recommend go for the lower level. I don't remember what we had medium spicy but it was HOT -- and I like heat! Will definitely return there next time we visit Mayakoba.

It was a nice night so we sat outside as inside was much warmer as it appears they don't have air conditioner indoors. The wait staff are very professional and attentive. We ordered the spring roll starter and tom yum soup. The spring roll was definitely fresh and came with two dipping sauces, one spicy and one sweet. The soup was spicy and a very good size portion. We had three dishes. The Panang chicken was good but very spicy and the portion was on the small side. Without the appetizer, you would be hungry after the meal. The kaprao with crispy pork had great flavor but part seemed like pork rind. The other dish was a stir fry rice with shrimp. Again good flavor and a good size portion. Worth a visit when in PDC.

The papaya was the perfect balance of lime and the added basil along with other veggies gave it a wonderful freshness and delightful taste in our mouths. The pad Thai was perfection as well. We asked for the curry to be extra spicy and they delivered. We cleared out our plates completely. The Thai food here is wonderful and I highly recommend you stop by. Prices are American but the food is worth it. Service: All the servers were friendly and very helpful. They all helped each other out, unlike some places that leave the section to the assigned server. The service provided was wonderful. They were all very attentive. Ambiance: This establishment is decorated so cute and gives you "high end" vibes. You can elect to eat inside or outside while you observe people walking by. Stop by and treat yourself, you won't regret it.

We ordered two coconut cocktails and they tasted and felt like they had no alcohol, just loads of sugar. Then we had dinner and both dishes we had were not good. The grouper was at least acceptable but the pad kee mao was baaad. Service was inattentive and overall this was the worst food we've had on our trip so far. It's also expensive, about $40 USD, which is more than we have spent on other places we enjoyed. Would not recommend. Go somewhere else!! And also we probably should have known better to try Thai in PDC..sticking with Mexican cuisine for the rest of our trip.

They were open in a different location before, closed for a while, and opened again at 15th and 8, across from the Palacio Municipal. The restaurant is nice, comfortable and covered in pin up girl art. Service was friendly and our server spoke English well. The menu is mostly different Asian dishes-Thai, Vietnamese, Indian-with a couple of European options thrown in. My group all ordered appetizers to share and Asian entrees (Thai curry, curry noodles, Pad Thai), and everyone was happy. My favorite appetizer was the dumplings, but the samosas and satay were also good. My entree was red curry noodles with chicken. The regular size was a lot of food, with very tasty sauce and well cooked chicken and veggies. The grilled pineapple was a nice addition. The spice level was hot enough for me, but the addition of their house habanero sauce kicked it up nicely. The premium margaritas were also good. I would definitely go again and will enjoy the leftovers.
