Great little halal Thai food spot in Woodside. They've been around for years and you wouldn't even know it was there passing by on Broadway. Cozy little hole in the wall place with very kind and friendly staff. Food comes out pretty quickly and portions are on point along with the tastiness. We ordered - Wings, Calamari, Thai Fried rice w/beef, basil fried rice w/chicken, drunken noodle w/shrimp, and Siam (I think) noodles w/beef. All were good - the Siam noodles were okay for me because it tasted like maagi noodles IYKYK. #nostalgia Parking is a bit difficult to find in that neighborhood, but you'll get it a block or two away. They are also due for a complete renovation. Nontheless, try them out! read more

In those moments of doubt when I fear I won't reach the 85-character minimum, I'm fortunate to have my Standard Spice Waiver to get over the line, reproduced thusly: "Spice tolerances vary and it is recommended that you take a small bite (or sip in the event of soup) before proceeding. Josh B.'s spice proclivities, included only as a general estimate and not a suggestion for your spice intake, are as follows: as of March 2025, between 0 and 3 may barely register but 8.5 or higher may induce crying." Thai Nara's heat level was ideal for me. The Thai soup was fragrant and tangy but not overpowering. I'm sure the other soups are fine but how often do you get to have galangal and sambal oelek? The roti was chicken was excellent. I don't know if it legally counts as roti canai but this delightful coconut-based creation was at least roti canai-adjacent. read more

The ambience is amazing. The service is great. The food in my and my husband's opinion was not good. We didn't enjoy anything. We ordered about three different apps and two main dishes didn't enjoy it. Very bland I've never seen such dry chicken or eaten such fried chicken in my life. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Well this is a Halal Thai joint and it's all about the food. Service was really good and the food did not disappoint. Was there for Mother's day with my MIL who only eats Halal when out. It's small and clean. But like I said it's about the food. Loved it. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Thai Nara Halal Restaurant - Spicy Chicken Wings - Thai Near Me - Woodside, New York

Down homey, authentic Thai food flavor, hole in the wall, family owned great taste: pretty much checks all Of my boxes. To give it a taste test we got: Curry chicken puffs, chicken roti, papaya salad (get it spicy, balance between cold fresh sweet and spicy is so nice), Tom yom soup and drunken noodles. All were done really well, tastes of Thailand in each bite. For 50, we had a feast. Were dishes smaller? Yes, but we're trying to be mindful of portions, and the portion sizes are appropriate I thought. For those that complain about food portions, come on it's hard to find places to feed two fully for 50 in NYC these days...let alone tasty. The owner came over to chat, we stuck out since we were the only non 'halal' customers there. Nice guy and his family trying to run a good business. He is obviously proud of his place and takes care to make the foods of his country the best he can. Being that the place is Halal, this is not a place to bring your alcohol. Respect the culture. Support your local small Business, come here and be satisfied. read more

Really really enjoyed my time and food here! A great selection of options. It is a very small space so be warned. My family and I got the Tom Yum Fried Rice and Green Curry chicken. We did moderate spice and thought it was too spicy so definitely order spice accordingly. Food was extremely flavorful and felt fresh. I was surprised at the portion size of the green curry chicken. The rice can be shared among 2-3 people depending on your appetite but the entree, I wouldn't say the same. BUT, really enjoyed the service, ambiance and food and will make more trips in the future. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food is terrible don't order on Uber eats. These ppl are thieves they don't even fill up 1/4 of the container properly with food and my family went hungry despite ordering $64+ worth of food. The lady on the phone says the containers are "big" that's why they don't fill it out, that was a good joke, that was the standard size they use in all restaurant. If you don't want to get robbed stay away these ppl are using the halal title to rob others. Utterly disturbing and disgusting behavior. read more

Thai Nara Halal Restaurant - Look at this shiz - Thai Near Me - Woodside, New York

This is one of the restaurants that caught my attention whenever my father and I go to get our haircuts. When I entered, it wasn't busy. There was a party of 10 who were of Mid-Eastern descent and a Caucasian male enjoying their meals and a female doing takeout. Came here to order the roti with beef curry. The curry happened to be Massaman curry with the taste of coconut milk, where the last time I had this curry was during the first semester at Baruch College. Since this dish is usually served with rice, using roti is typical in Indian and Malaysian cuisine. Even though the menu is smaller than the other Thai restaurants around, I would come again. read more

100% Halal Thai in Woodside, Queens with friendly staff, good prices, and of course, great food. Warning ahead: some pictures come with half-eaten food because we forgot to take pictures until we started eating. We started off with appetizers: the Thai spring rolls (come with 8 halves, a sauce, and a small bowl of veggies) and Chicken Satay (an order comes with 4 skewers and peanut sauce). The spring rolls were crispy and the satay was chewy and great with the peanut sauce. Then, we had beef pad Thai: overall, 8/10, pretty solid, and a good spice too with the side of chili flakes for additional spice. We continued with either the Ba Mee Red Curry or Red Curry (can't remember which), but it was coconut-ey and I loved the crispy noodles on top. Then, we wanted to try another curry, so we opted for the Massaman Curry with shrimp, which had influences from Indian cuisine and you could definitely taste the fusion. For me, personally, this was a 7/10. I wouldn't recommend getting more than one curry at a time because the flavors profiles are pretty similar. We were still hungry, so we chose to get the grilled chicken topped with peanut sauce and THIS dish was the one that honestly really surprised me. I wasn't expecting anything special, but this dish was an easy 10/10 PLEASE get this if you're eating here. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the peanut sauce elevated the dish to a whole other level. We were stuffed, but there is always room for dessert, so we got the mango sticky rice. Although the portion was slightly on the smaller side, we went to this restaurant in late June during mango season, so it was perfect. The sweet coconut-ey sticky rice pairs perfectly with the ripe mango. All in all, a solid restaurant with a few standouts (grilled chicken with peanut sauce and the Red Curry) and perfect if you are want to eat halal Thai. read more

**Delivery Review** Wanted to try a different Thai spot in the area and this place always seemed like the best bet for delivery. Wanted to check in advance if the dishes included fish sauce, thankfully the lady on the phone was super patient as she confirmed none were used in the vegetarian dish. Opted for the Chicken Lolipops to start ($8) to start, then the Pad See Ew w/beef ($11) as the entree. Food arrives in around half an hour, packaged well and warm throughout. Chicken lolipops are five in an order, served alongside a tangy sauce. Chicken is cooked well and the breading pairs nicely with the sauce (can be overwhelming by the third piece). Pad see ew is on the greasy side, but generous overall portion - especially with the beef slices. Definitely a solid spot for takeout dinner or lunch. read more

Early dinner on a Wednesday and it was empty except for a couple. I picked this place because it has a very good rating on yelp but I felt the food was lacking. The service was good, we were seated and given menus and the server was friendly and polite. I got the Thai iced tea which was too sweet even with all the ice in it. I got the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) and pad Thai. The drunken noodles disappoint. They were too spicy and somehow separated in flavor from the chicken. The pad Thai was better, not bad at all but the fried chicken on top was not real chicken and highly disappoint with flavor. The mango sticky rice was also overly sweet, usually the slight sourness of the mango will balance the rice but the mango was surprisingly sweet, hence creating the condense sweetness. Overall, I won't go out of my way to come here. If I'm in the area I might come back. read more

Not the best pad Thai I've ever had but the shrimp that I paid only $2.00 extra for was delicious! Large grilled shrimp that I really enjoyed. The pad Thai just wasn't exciting. The shrimp Tom Kha soup was what blew me away!! They add green and red peppers to it which I've never seen done before but it was soooo good. Creamly coconut milk base with lots of mushroom and a couple large pieces of shrimp. I would come back over and over for that soup! Prices are reasonable and food was made quickly. read more

Decent Thai food if you are looking for good halal food options, but I there are much better Thai options if you have no food restrictions. I tried the panang and green curry. I prefer the panang flavor more as it is more creamy. Both were decent and a bit spicy but I had much better. I also tried the hot Thai tea, which was waay too sweet. Service is very attentive and friendly though! I'd give them another try just because the staff is so sweet. read more

The food was pretty good. We ordered chicken satay in peanut sauce, four pieces, tasted alright. Lollipop chicken was standard, 6 pieces and pretty good quality. The soup was excellent, curries were Perfect and fried rice was really good! I judge most places by their fried rice quality, they had the rice down! The service was good. The owner was welcoming and kind, gave us soup on the house after having a small conversation with us. The restaurant was quiet, wasn't too big inside but was good for us that day since it was six of us. I would go back for good quality halal Thai food. read more

A perfect restaurant for authentic Thai flavours and every entree feels like a home cooked meal. The spice level is definitely fit for those that enjoy authentic spicy food, so make sure you mention your preference. The service is good, food comes out quick however there is usually one person taking orders and at the register. Seems like a small business but more of a reason to support. The one thing I would say is that their portions are pretty small for the price. I don't mind paying but compared to other restaurants, their portions are smaller. read more
