    I've driven my this place so many times and didn't realize it was here. Their parking is a bit tight, so be forewarned if you're a bad parker, you might want to have someone drive in with you. Ha! It looks a little sketch on the outside and where they are located, but inside was very comfortable. Got the curry dish, their most popular, and it was decent. Good flavors and nicely seasoned dark chicken thigh that was moist. Their spring rolls were okay, and unfortunately, nothing special. The surf and turf were also okay, nothing super special and slightly short on the proteins. Perhaps an extra skewer might be worth the price point. There wasn't too much service provided, but the gentleman was really nice and prompt to bring us a pitcher of water and some drinking cups. The spam masubi was the best part! Their rice had extra spices and grains of some sort, but it certainly added to the texture. Would definitely come back for the spam masibi!

    If u're looking for deliciously exotic dishes with loads of flavor, u found it here!!! I can't express the intense joy spreading all over me when I bit into the meat prepared in lemongrass! I just wished the plate had 1000x more meat on it than what was in front of me, but as I reeled myself back to reality, I was just over the moon that I got the chance to try this amazing dish! Everything was delicious here! The spam musubi was phenomenal, and the curry dish was also highly enjoyable! Service was excellent and u feel like u're family here, as the space is very tiny and intimate. If u're not from around the area, don't be freaked out when u get close to the restaurant. The restaurant is not located in what u would call, a "nice" or "friendly" neighborhood at first glance. And sure, u COULD get shot :-P but that didn't stop me! I'd risk it all for the taste of paradise!! Sooooooo good!!!

    I can't think of a more dynamic duo than Thai and Lee, owners of Thaily's. They are like the Shaq and Kobe of the culinary world, each bringing their unique and creative skill set into the kitchen. Thai is Cambodian. Lee is Iraqi. Creativity bounces off the walls in their small but quaint restaurant consisting of about 5 small tables. The menu, posted on the counter incorporates fused dishes incorporating idiosynchracies of both cuisines. Thai and Lee told us their story and how their imperfect home cooking became measured and mastered at their restaurant. It's no surprise they were recognized as a Top New Restaurant by the New York Times. Their recent recognition gathered my attention, and I have to say, it was worth the 45 minute drive. I ordered the spicy tofu pasta. 4/5 on the spice scale but I was itching for more after each bite, despite my nose running like a waterfall because it was so spicy. Everyone at our table of 4 genuinely loved their dish. The location appears under the radar, but I think it will be scorching hot and trendy real soon

    #ThankYouThursday update: Thaily's is absolutely my favorite neighborhood spot and at this point I drop by almost weekly. I've sampled the entire menu but I always go back to my regular Spicy Double Chicken Platter. Lee and Thai know me by my voice at this point when I call in my order. The other day I ordered some chicken curry and spicy chicken thigh for my sister and I, and they threw in an extra side of curry for me! So thank you Thaily's for the consistently amazing food and friendliness!

    Spicy Curry Double Chicken Platter

    My wife found this place and so glad to have gone here! I actually drive by this place on the way to work and never noticed it - it can be easy to miss. Anyway, the food is great and the selections are quite unique as they have Cambodian cuisine and Middle Eastern cuisine like Gyros. I got the spicy double chicken; the seasoning on the chicken was amazing and the curry was really flavorful (although the spice level was a little on the weaker side for me but for most people I would say it is a good amount of spice) Highly recommend if you are wanting something a little different. This place is a gem in Chandler!

    Do not let the location shy you away from this special mom and pop place! On Sat October 2nd, 2021 we visited this small, casual Arabian/ Cambodian fusion restaurant. With just a few tables, the pleasant, well decorated interior welcomes you. The menu is unique and is consistently updated to what is available that day. My husband enjoyed the spice curry double chicken platter. ($10.50) He said the egg, grilled chicken, rice and cup of curry was very good. My lemongrass beef stick platter was small in portion but tasty. ($8.50) Two beef sticks, a salad that consisted of cucumber, carrots and papaya in a vinaigrette and a rectangular orange rice combo added beautiful color to this entree. This small salad was refreshing and reminded me of the Vietnamese garnish. If you are interested in expanding your palate, why not stop by? I plan to again!

    This is an interesting collusion of Khmer food, Asian items, and Middle Eastern fare. Limited menu but I heard there will be more items added at a later time. Therefore, if you you're looking for a fast casual quick bite with a homey feel, you can roll through. Papaya salad is nice and refreshing for a warm day. It's definitely spicy so if you don't like heat in your mouth then you should stray from this dish. I like my vermicelli noodles a little more al dente but might be personal preference. The noodles may have become soft from it soaking in the dressing. Overall had good flavor and nice heaping portion. The lemongrass beef platter was also a nice portion. You get 2 skewers with the garnish of veg and mound of rice. The beef was tender and the lemongrass flavor came through. I would have liked a side of fish sauce or even the papaya salad dressing to pour over the skewers for additional depth of flavor. Worth the $6.50 though. Restaurant shares the same space as Mai Mochi so you can get meats and sweet treats in one feat, ain't that neat?

    This is the definition of a great hole in the wall. Brought to you by a Cambodian and Iraquí couple. Not to be confused by fusion food as they actually have dishes of each region. I went with one of their most popular dishes: the chicken curry fried rice which is a Cambodian dish. I enjoyed it so much and would love to have it again soon. Very flavorful curry. Service was great and I loved talking with the owners and getting to know them better. I wish this place wasn't so far away otherwise I would be here on the regular. Definitely a must try.

    We were so excited to eat we didn't get a close up of the dishes!!!

    We were blown away by the food here! So unexpected to find a Cambodian/Middle Eastern/Arabic restaurant in Chandler, AZ, it was such a unique menu. We only had the Cambodian food but the owner cooked every dish to order, she was so friendly & sweet. The Cambodian Spicy Papaya Salad was so fresh, flavorful & authentic, the lemongrass beef stick & shrimp were so tasty & kid friendly. The Nom Ba Jok (red chicken curry noodle soup) was so yummy topped with potatoes, carrots & chunks of tender chicken in a rich coconut curry broth with thin rice vermicelli ...YUM! The owner, Thai, even threw in some extra noodles & some boneless lemongrass chicken, so generous & thoughtful! The best part...they also have spam musubis!!! What a winning combination we just stumbled upon thanks to YELP & all the great reviews, they were spot on. Thaily's looks like a whole in the wall but trust me...it's a hidden gem!

    Went to this place for lunch with my boyfriend (he's a regular!) and I was NOT disappointed! We got the lemongrass spring rolls as an app and both went with the Spicy Curry Double Chicken Platter. The sauce in the curry is SO delicious and the serving size was perfect for one person. Service was fast and extremely friendly! Highly recommend

    Joyce usually lets me know about these hidden place, but I missed it if she did. They are tucked away one block from the downtown area. This is a must stop! Arabic, Cambodian, and Mediterranean options. Which offers a fresh variety to the every day mean. They offer daily specials, so be sure to ask. Owned and operated by a husband and wife team. I had the special for today, which was a soup. Silama toug da con. That's the hooked on phonics version. Apologies. But I'd you can get him to understand what you're trying to say, you won't be disappointed. She uses fresh morning glory in it, if that helps. Found out the English name for it is sour beef soup with morning glory. There ya go. Follow them on social media. She announces the specials and unusual business hours there.

    Shrimp & Pork Spring rolls.  Hummus side.  Middle eastern 'hero'.

    Print courteous service. Food arrives a fast ~7 minutes or less though two other tables nearby. Sandwich had a nice twist of a few thin, crisp pickle spears and maybe pink pickled onions with purple onions also. Super fresh! Meat was tasty. Cucumber sauce yummy. Not a huge sandwich so if you're hungry get some side dishes. Hummus was nice and balanced - don't think of it as Greek hummus whatsoever - theirs here is definitely more dense and richer. Nice EVOO touch and spices on top - I ate the HUGE green olive before considering my photo. Whoops - tasty . Taking the tools home - they look devine!!! Fish sauce on the side. I'll miss peanut sauce but I like both - fish sauce is healthier. And a lighter healthy meal was my intention. Not too much bread was good. I'll return and revaluate other dishes aTHE MENU US EXTENSIVE! Lots of options for anyone, and some curry too. BTW two times a week another restauranteur comes in and cooks up some other cultural Asian dishes worth trying.

It is a restaurant with a mini market which makes it feel so authentic. However, upon my first visit I didn't really look around the market but I did purchase a zero calorie Salaam cola which tasted exactly like Coca Cola. I ordered chicken shawarma plate and for appetizers I got the falafels. I started with the falafels and they were surprisingly not dry at all. I was not sure what kind of sauce it was served with but it paired well with it. The plate portion size is no joke...Everything on the plate had a huge portion size: the salad, hummus, rice, and meat...all of them...Every bite with the yogurt sauce was flavorful. And then I tried a bite with hummus, rice, chicken and the sauce...wombo combo flavors. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish all of it so I had to take a to go box home. On my next visit I ordered the beef shawarma plate and I was not disappointed at all. After finishing with an empty plate, I walked around the mini market. I noticed there was allot of Middle Eastern food, candies, and drinks. I really enjoyed my Salaam cola on my first visit but they did not have the zero calorie version in stock...I did research on the brand and I found that they created the cola to provide aid to countries like (free)Palestine and Yemen which I deeply support. Besides the food, I also saw keffiyehs on display which I liked as well. Overall, I rate this place a strong 10/10. I will come back to try other entrees and desserts like their baklava cheesecake.

The dining space itself is small, with a few tables. It is definitely not the spot for group dining, but they do seem to have large family style offerings, so takeout seems like a solid choice for larger groups! You can tell they are popular, as they had a good flow of guests coming in and out. The dining space was a bit messy, not the restaurant as much as just trash from leftover guests, though that could be due to the traffic, but definitely noticeable. I ordered a classic gyro, greek fries, tabouli salad and baklava. The price point is extremely reasonable and it was plenty filling with leftovers. The food itself took quite a bit to get out, but again traffic and the staff was kind enough to give us some dolma for our long wait time. Everything I tried was really good, I haven't had dolma before and I would most definitely get it again, theirs was delicious! The value and quality is definitely there and I will most definitely be adding them to my rotating takeout list. I would consider dining in again as well, but find them better suited for my grab and go needs.
