    Thai Iced Tea
    Fawzia N.

    To start off with the interior, it is decorated very beautifully. My family and I ate here in the evening, and the lighting was very dim. The service was good. The waitress was very patient and polite, and as someone who feels nervous ordering, she made it very easy and comfortable. The food also came out very fast. I had the Pad Kee Mao, and it was very tasty! I don't know what to say about it, the taste was different as I've never had Thai food, but it was very delicious. The noodles were boiled perfectly. The vegetables and eggs added great flavor. There was actually spice in there, and I eat a lot of spice, so this worked out for me. I usually have to end up adding more spice, but this was a good amount for me. My sister had the General Tso's chicken, which I do not have a picture of. However, it tasted good. The chicken was crispy on the outside and was very well coated. My only issue was that it was a little bit on the sweeter side, so after a few bites of her dish, I couldn't eat it anymore. But that's just me and my preference. Although I wasn't a big fan of the Thai Iced Tea, my sister and cousins found it refreshing and tasty. Once again, my preference as I don't really like drinks that have a taste of vanilla. I added a few images of my food and a picture of my clean plate to show proof of how good it was!

    Tom YUM!

    Been meaning to try Thai Nara for a while ... and it was worth the wait! Our waitress was so kind and attentive. The restaurant is small, clean but well-lit and they are generous with the AC. We ordered the spring rolls. They were mediocre but better with the sauces. My niece had the chicken steamed dumplings that came four to an order. The fried snapper was amazing! The Tom Yum was good! I was not expecting much as I have had Tom Yum at other Thai places in Elmhurst, Qns. and was not impressed. The fried rice was good and so were the drunken noodles. The mango salad was delicious! Tipping is included and our bill for the dishes was $120. The portions run a little small but Halal is awesome!

    Tom Yum Fried Rice, Tom Yum Soup, Thai Fried Rice
    Fateha A.

    Got Tom yum shrimp soup ($7), Tom yum fried rice, & 1 Thai fried rice (no spice besides black pepper). Both fried rice are $14, & we got beef for both. Both the Tom yum dishes are really spicy & contain bell peppers. Really good otherwise. The Thai fried rice was perfect for me. Not spicy at all. Their fried rices & Tom yum soup are really good.

    After a very long time I get to try their food again . It was great actually. I ordered thai soup, iced bubble tea & beef sizzling. Everything was good , I wished more beef on the sizzling then too much vegetables! I was disappointed! You can see the price are reasonable & the portion was ok. Posting some new pics of the food .

    Thai Nara has some fantastic food that is also halal and very reasonably priced. I had some food both to stay and to go and everything was great. It's also so nice to see a restaurant that clearly a neighborhood staple that does a lot for their community and vice versa. Some dishes that stood out to me were the basil fried rice and the pad thai (with chicken). All in all, I will 110% be back.

    Fried Firecracker Shrimp Roll
    Puspita E.

    Food/Drinks: Overall, the food was delicious, although we weren't really the biggest fan of the Crispy Chicken (Peanut Sauce) as it was just way sweeter than we expected. The Fried Firecracker Shrimp Rolls were also a lot smaller than we expected given its price. However, the Thai Iced Tea is probably the best we've had. It has this beautiful sweetness and refreshing taste. The noodles were also fantastic. Each dish was very similar but had a few unique components. Personally, the Pad Kee Mao was definitely my favorite. The noodles were very filling and were the exact taste we were looking for. Service: The service was slightly slow, which makes sense since it was only one person manning the place and one chef working in the back. There were quite a few people there so service was expected to be slightly on the slower side. However, we were surprised to see that our orders came way later than that of another table who came in a good 20-30 minutes after us. They had already gone through half of their meal before we could even get our main dishes. Ambiance: It's a small and packed restaurant in the middle of Broadway. It's cozy and feels like home which I really liked. The bathroom also has a bodna for Muslim customers which is very accommodating. Overall, the place is nice and I'd probably go back again if I'm in the area, but the service time isn't ideal and I'd probably stick to just the noodles and Thai Iced Tea next time.

    Spicy Chicken Wings
    Nafiza T.

    2.5 stars The food was good but the ambience is not a vibe. I felt really bad for the one employee that was working there but it was a lot of noises and smells in the seating area -- I was just really off put by the experience the entire time. The employee was really sweet and took good care of us. But the working conditions for the kitchen safe didn't seem the best. At one point the fire alarm went off, unsure for the cause but it was extremely loud. The food was good but the drunken noodles and the pad Thai lacked flavor and wasn't the best I've ever tried. The spicy chicken wings was amazing and so well seasoned.

    Really good service and food here. I came here with a bunch of friends to celebrate my birthday and we were satisfied with the quality of the food.

    Nice and quaint Thai Halal restaurant. The cook was very friendly and we talked about our asian similarities. He also took some suggestions on making real duck. Food came fresh. I'm amazed to see that there's a heath code grade posted outside their restaurant. I was put at ease that the food is handled well. I ordered a Thai iced tea and drunken noodles. I would definitely come back when I pass by New York. The price is appropriate and the portions was also appropriate for me.

    Went for lunch after a long drive in New York City. Looked up a nice Halal Thai restaurant and this came on top of the list. Out front shows a grade A on their health code. The host was very friendly and so as the cook. Not a lot of people in the restaurant with quaint seating options, makes it a lot peaceful to eat our meals. I can say every meal was cleared we did not need any take out boxes. My little one enjoyed her Thai iced tea, tom yum soup, spring rolls and half of the drunken noodle dish. I had the Thai basil beef fried rice, spicy Thai fried chicken wings (not too impressed since it has the same consistency as the store bought) and Thai soup with chicken. My wife had the drunken noodles with shrimp. Definitely a place to return when we get to visit New York.

    Fried Fish
    Suzi H.

    The food was delicious, we ordered whole fried fish, steamed vegetables, omelette and papaya salad. Finger licking good food. The restaurant can be easily reached by subway or bus, very strategic . Huge compliments to the chef. Both chef and Nadia the waitress were friendly . The price was very affordable

They definitely didn't tell me that lunch specials were available before I ordered my soup. Other than that, everyone is pleasant. Space: they have two sides, so plenty of space, but nights and weekends can get pretty packed, so keep that in mind. Food: I ordered Tom Yum soup and a lunch drunken noodle with a Thai iced tea. I only had the soup there and took the entire lunch special to go. Just based off of the soup, I will be going back. It was delicious and PACKED to the MAX! Writing this now, I can still imagine. Drunken Noodles were also really tasty. I like mine spicy and it could have been made spicier, but that's not even a real complaint. Also- the one next to me had this dish which reminded me of pad see ew but in a gravy. Looked delicious!! I will be back for whatever she had. Overall: the entire block is like a little Thai street. There are lots of Thai food options and I finally made it to Ayada. Super happy with my meal and excited to go back with some people and enjoy.

It's in the middle of nowhere Elmhurst, off the main strip of Broadway. The place itself is oddly situated as well, and in an oddly shaped building.

Just an explosion of flavors in each bite. Likewise service was excellent. We went on a Wednesday night so we got extra attentive service. Looking forward to bringing our family and friends here.

Fish cake and Breaded Chicken were dry. Food trays on warmers but don't think they kept them hot enough, like the fried rice which was cold. Had to ask about the 6 curries - weren't labeled at first. From different regions. Some had proteins like chicken feet, pork, chicken. One was fish but only saw a few pcs of halved fishballs. The peanut curry was slightly sweet and was just the sauce. One was very spicy so just took the veggies and meat. Instructions were finally posted on how to put together the curries with the noodles and toppings, which were set up on the table as well. It was a good tasting. Service was good. Preferred cash payment but accepted credit cards with added 3% fee. Decor was bright with colorful flowers hanging from ceiling etc. Space is not that big. Restroom available. Some street cleaning parking and the rest were metered along Whitney Ave.

The steak was the only dish that showed any sign of life. Everything else tasted as if it had been rinsed with water before being served--completely stripped of seasoning, aroma, and any trace of authentic Thai flavor. It's astonishing that a restaurant with such a strong reputation could produce food that's less flavorful than the faux Thai takeout spots tucked inside Chinese restaurants off the Ohio Turnpike. That's not an exaggeration. What's even more baffling is the location. In the heart of Queens, surrounded by Thai restaurants serving bold, vibrant, unapologetically flavorful food, Zaab Zaab somehow manages to be a culinary desert. The fried rice was bland, the drunken noodles were lifeless, and the pad kra pao lacked the punch, basil, heat, and savoriness that define the dish. It honestly felt as though the menu had been engineered for diners who think black pepper is adventurous. Instead of authentic Thai flavors, everything seemed toned down to the point of being unrecognizable. For a restaurant with this reputation, the meal was a massive letdown. There are countless nearby Thai restaurants that deliver the bold, aromatic flavors Thailand is known for. Save your money and your appetite for one of them.

Like a deconstructed and dry version of a filipino soup I love called Chicken Tinola, with similar ingredients too. The set came with soup - was mild and good. I added a bit of the ginger-scallion condiment and liked that too. I think it's the first time I tried Thai iced green tea - slightly sweet for me but lighter bec with half and half. Couldn't give this place a 5 stars though because of the heat. We went there when it was at least 90 degrees, and didn't know it wasn't air-conditioned. There was only 1 oscillating fan which was only ok when it was pointed at our direction. Once it turned, I had to keep fanning myself. The iced drink was refreshing but wasn't enough. We would have left if only we weren't set on trying their Hainan chicken. Will surely return, on a not so hot day. Service was great. Food came out quickly. It must've felt hotter for the staff being in the kitchen but they still had smiles. Nearest train station is Elmhurst Ave stop of M, R and some bus lines along Broadway, but not too far from Roosevelt Ave-Jackson Hts station. Has 4 small tables, and counter seating for 3.
