If you happen to want Thai food and you are in Burnet, you will enjoy this place! They advertise they are takeout only, but if you ask to dine in they have seating; just know they serve you out of takeout containers. The heat levels can be tailored - just ask. Their default is fairly mild, but they can amp it up to Thai spice level or anywhere in between. A hidden gem!!! read more

Aranya Thai Restaurant - Pork Mussaman Curry with plain rice - Thai Near Me - Burnet, Texas

The only service they have is to go. And if they screw up your food, too bad, they won't replace it or fix it and they won't give you back your money for it. No reason to go. Their food is only so so. Much better Thai anywhere else. read more

I was staying at a lake house nearby and wanted something with flavor so I yelped and found this place with good reviews and they were not wrong! I had a Thai friend in college and she introduced me to Thai food so every now and then when I am visiting a new part of the state I look to see what is near. I love how when I called in the order she was very efficient in asking what I desired and didn't make me feel weird when I asked for vegan options. I went with Pad Thai with tofu and mango sticky rice and Thai tea. Upon arriving I was greeted warmly and after waiting for a bit she had my order ready. There is also a mini Asian market in there in case you are running low on jasmine rice. It was hard not to dig in but after arriving to my airbnb I dug in and it was nice and flavorful. Prices were not too bad either! read more

I wanted something fresh and fast. This little place delivers on all fronts. I have been to Thailand and the food here tasted very authentic although not quite as spicy as what I've had at Thai restaurants. I had the Pad See Eu and my wife ordered the Ramen Delight and we shared their veggie egg rolls. All the dishes were spectacular. It had lots of people coming in and getting take out. It was nice to see that the locals really support this place. Sorry no photos, we were too hungry. read more

Super disappointed. We went to have lunch and the sign outside clearly said only take out.

Excellent food and service. It's a super cozy and friendly place. It has a mini grocery and gift shop along with a restaurant. Food is tasty and the place is clean. We drove from Colorado bend state park after hiking and we're super hungry. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. read more

This place is the bomb.com. Best food in burnet for sure!! The service is amazing too. sweetest people ever.

Wonderful Thai food - interesting to find such good authentic Thai food in a small town. They grow some of their own produce, and service is by family. And they offer a small store for food items not found outside of the city, like shrimp paste, fish sauce and tapioca pearls. read more

Online, I found this open until 9 PM. I later discovered closing time was 8 PM. I phoned in an order way too late for a restaurant closing at 8. They were very accommodating. The quality of the food was great. I have noted in my phone the correct open/closed hours. I apologize for the late order. read more

Such an amazing hole in the wall with authentic Thai food and the sweetest customer service! Can not wait to try more food here. We got Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, mango sticky rice and lime sweet tea. So good! If you've never tried mango sticky rice, you must! It's the king of all desserts. read more

This is a hidden gem!! We eat here probably twice a week! I've really loved everything I've ever ordered from Aranyas! I always get the Crab Angels & the Thai noodle soup!! We usually order for pickup & they're always quick & friendly! Aranyas has a very calm atmosphere, that makes for a very relaxed meal. Definitely the best thai restaurant in Burnet! read more

Service was great! Very friendly and quick with my order! Food was made correctly and was hot still when I got back to my room. Everything tasted good. Nothing bad to say! read more

This local gem is truly a diamond in the rough, and unexpected for a rural small town. Their spring rolls are always fresh and the pad thai never disappoints. Burnet is lucky to have them. Definitely worth stopping if you are passing through. read more

I've eaten here twice and it is some of the best Thai I've ever had. It doesn't look like much from the outside, in fact, it's easy to miss. Once inside you'll find a little store that has a little bit of everything and some nice people with great food. read more

Love this! Always great food reasonably priced! They are so friendly and have a variety on their me u

I was so happy to find out there was a Thai restaurant in Burnet and I was thrilled when I saw the menu and the prices. I had Pad kaprow and panang curry both with chicken and both were delicious. All of the ingredients were fresh and the food was ready very fast and was still hot when I got back to the hotel. I was very impressed and I will be back before my trip is over. read more

Amazingly good food, nice little store attached that sells the East Asian products you can't get at Walmart, along with a random selection of interesting and fun things. We will definitely be making this our go to place for Thai food. read more

Thank goodness I can get great Thai food close to home!!! My hubby and I have eaten here many times and each time we enjoy what we selected. The pad Thai is always a fave and the coconut soup, the egg rolls, summer rolls, and angel puffs. It's always fresh and the portions are huge. read more

My friend and I were in Burnet for the Vanishing River Cruise and arrived the night before. Before we knew it, dinner time was upon us and, seeing the great reviews on Yelp for this restaurant, off we went. Actually, according to the owner, the building was a gas station, and she showed us that where we were sitting was once a large garage door. And yes, there are still working pumps on the property. The exterior of the building says strip mall but the interior is warm and inviting. The decor is a collection of personal items, from Buddhist shrines to plates, cups and saucers along with some interesting wall hangings. We were greeted cordially, given menus and our drink orders taken. The menus are particularly useful as each dish has an accompanying photo and at this restaurant it isn't bait and switch as at so many; here, what you see is what you get. For an appetizer we ordered chicken satay. (Sorry, no photo as we were famished and dove in immediately. Reviewer DS has a great photo, though). The chicken was light and tender, was not overcooked and could stand on its own without any sauce. In this case we had two sauces, one a light vinegar and fish sauce, the other, peanut. Both stood out but the peanut was our favorite. The Thai version is sweeter than the Indonesian gado-gado and more complex. I even spooned some on my entree with excellent results. Speaking of entrees, we both ordered Pad Kee Mao (on the menu as Meow), sometimes called "Drunken Noodles" and it's one of my favorites. As always, she ordered hers mild but hot, hot, hot for me, please. In many restaurants they modify the spicing for American tastes by drastically cutting back on the oyster and fish sauces, but not at Aranya Thai. These flavors are bold, as they should be, giving the dish the flavor I remember from my time in Thailand. The chicken (you can also order it with pork or beef) and vegetables were perfectly cooked and flavorful; the rice noodles, not too tough, not too mushy--just right. And the spicing? We got what we asked for! Family run restaurants such as this deserve our support, especially when the food is a cut above. If you find yourself in the wilds of Burnet, drop by Aranya Thai; you'll be very glad you did! read more

This place is amazing! What a delightful surprise to find excellent Thai food in Burnet. We sat at another restaurant for about 15 minutes and no one bothered to even look our way. We stumbled onto Aranya and were not disappointed. As soon as we opened the door and smelled the aromas, we knew we'd made the right choice. The service was quick and friendly. The pad Thai and Mussaman curry were delicious and served in very generous portions. I had planned to try the sticky rice and mangoes but was too full from my curry; NEXT time! Ahroi mak mak! read more

There's a couple of dishes that left a funky taste in my mouth we paid the bill but we left our plates pretty cool I'm just saying.

Authentic family run business. My usual order is a number 35 which is yellow curry with chicken. Aranya's sticky rice is also really good.

Don't be discouraged by the reviews that state this is in a gas station -- it's definitely near a gas station, but the interior of the restaurant does not reflect any gas station-ness. It's a small space decked out with Buddhist statues, an altar and other artifacts that were very popular among the smaller diners in our group (had to spend a fair amount of time redirecting the kids), and simple dining tables with a variety of mismatched chairs which added to the charm. The food was quite good. We started with an order of Thai tea and summer rolls (fresh herbs, lettuce and shrimp wrapped in rice paper) served with an addictive peanut sauce. For our entrees we ordered a variety of dishes: Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Panang Curry and one of the daily specials and were impressed with the flavors, freshness and the amount of food for a very reasonable price. None of the dishes were overly spicy -- I noticed there was an entire rack of condiments for kicking it up to your desired notch. You might not expect this kind of place in Burnet, but I'm so glad they're here, and I'll be back next time I'm out this way. read more

We are camping out at Inks Lake, but wanted takeout from town. Being vegetarian, it's sometimes hard to find good food in small towns, but I hit the jackpot here! Pad Thai was absolutely delicious!!! read more

I've been coming here for years. Love these people. Great food, neat store, mom and pop owned.

Delicious, cheap Thai food in Burnet (durn-it), Texas? Why not? I was worried when I saw Kelly's less than enthusiastic review from 2010, but we were headed back to Austin from Marble Falls on Sunday afternoon, and 3 other restaurants we'd wanted to try on the way were closed. Aranya Thai was our last hope to quell the growling tummies before a killer thunderstorm moved in to likely prevent later dining out once we were back at home base. The place (in a small strip center with a gas station at one end and a used book store on the other) looked deserted, but a friendly waitress/manager soon came to welcome us once we were seated. The iced tea was great and the 8 piece Golden Pockets order ($4) was served quickly. I can't remember the last time I had a $4 appetizer, delicious little fried bites of joy stuffed with seasoned ground pork. We cleared the dish immediately. The mister ordered Kaprow Chicken Fried Rice ($9) and I got Pad Ped Beef ($9). I guess besides our friendly server out front, there was one busy guy in the back making our lunch, as the rice came out a good 5 minutes before my plate. No worries, though, as we don't mind sharing and that was some excellent fried rice! The spicy rice dish was packed with a good mix of onions, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, scallions, basil, Thai chili, egg and tender chicken, and it wasn't greasy at all. The Pad Ped was equally enjoyable, if lighter. I was impressed that the beef strips were well tenderized and still had a prominent beefy flavor under the thin red curry broth and crisp veggie mix (bamboo shoots, green beans, and zucchini). We were so impressed, we went ahead & ordered sticky rice with custard for dessert. Oh how I love sticky rice! This one had a light coconut syrup over the top. The companion custard was a sort of unappealing grayish color, but the flavor & texture were just fine. I will totally chow down on some Aranya Thai the next time I'm in town. You should, too. Don't be scared! P.S. They actually offer online ordering through Yelp, so the full menu is available to peruse at your leisure here. Neat! read more

It should be called "Colonic!" but that might just be my issue. This is a thai place... in a gas station... in Burnet, TX. And it's surprisingly good. Went here based on the recommendation of the first reveiwer. I got the pad kree mow (noodles, veg, chicken) and my friend got the pineapple fried rice. Both were definitely decent, spicy and a huge portion. We also had the Tom Yum which I threw away. Tasted funny, like fish, although there is definitely no fish in it. Overall, the spot was clean, the food came out relatively quickly and the food (except TY of course) was good. If you're in the area, and you're craving Thai food, it's not a bad choice. read more

WoW! What an amazing find in a small town. This place rivals any Thai place I have ever been to. My grandparents live in the area and introduced me to this great place. The veggies are fresh, locally owned & family operated, and really good curry! The decor is a little all over the place, but it is a small town place so it fits right in. It is clean though, so that is a major plus. We all had two different curries and a middle dish. They were all three amazing. I had the red curry. It was perfectly spicy, fresh, deep flavor, and come with rice. My grandfather had the hello curry and it was awesome as well. My grandmother's noodle dish was awesome. The noodles were made there. You won't be disappointed at all. Even a spoiled foodie like me! Go Go. Make sure to get the "Meow" dish. Don't worry, it is either chicken or beef. read more

With a fresh paint job the food is always good the employees are friendly the food is delicious.

This place is legit Thai food. Don't let the exterior fool you. It is next to a filling station, but inside the decor of the restaurant and grocery store is very nice. I had the panang curry with chicken with jasmine rice. It was absolutely delicious. My friend has a very spicy shrimp and veggie dish. It definitely was spicy, so watch for the little hot pepper indicators. She also had the crystal noodle soup which was delicious and not spicy. The lady taking our order was efficient and very friendly. We had a dog in the car, so she brought out our order when it was ready. Wonderful food and service!! read more

The food was absolutely delicious. Great portions of everything. Everyone seemed to really enjoy what they ordered. They had lots of authentic Thai food, so not just some place advertising Thai food. I will definitely be back. My friend is super excited that there's a Thai place not too far from the property she just purchased. So good stuff all around. read more

Took a chance and am pleasantly surprised! I never would have considered Thai food in a small town, but I put my faith in Yelp and once again walked away very happy. I had the garlic beef, with fried rice and it was amazing. The veggies were very impressive, and fresh too! I was given five different sauces, which I tried, and they were all very well done indeed. I was stuffed at the end, but ordered the egg rolls to go, just because. Give them a try - you won't be sorry! read more
