The smoothie was thick and had a nice texture to it where you could still taste the pulp of the pineapple that was blended in. I don't think much -- if any, additional sugar was mixed in, because the smoothie wasn't especially sweet. If you're on vacation and haven't been eating particularly healthy, nor getting enough fiber in your diet, it's a good idea to give your system a boost with one of these smoothies. Smoothies here are priced in line with your average smoothie -- at around $13 or so. If you're looking for something else besides a smoothie, the menu here includes non-smoothie items as well, like juices, açai bowls, and various protein bites.

The dal makhani had a very nice rich buttery flavor too. The food was really good! I docked one star for a weird staff member experience. He was dismissive we felt oddly unprioritized of that makes sense. It was a carry out order.

I ordered the butter chicken, cumin rice, and a mini naan. The butter chicken is prepared perfectly. They use white meat. The whole meal was perfectly seasoned, juicy, rich, and incredibly delicious! The owners were incredibly nice. I will be going back and highly recommend.

We had dinner here today. We ordered shrimp tom yum, fried rice, and shrimp pad thai. The wait time…read morefor our food was about one hour. During that time, we did not receive any updates from the server, so it was unclear how much longer the wait would be. The restaurant does not have its own parking and there is no restroom available inside the building. The interior felt uncomfortable to me - the yellow walls and the music playlist did not match the theme of Thai cuisine, which affected the overall dining experience. I am a fan of Thai food and have visited Thailand multiple times. Based on my personal experience, the dishes served did not match what I am used to from traditional Thai cuisine. There was a large amount of onion and ingredients that, in my experience, are uncommon in classic Thai dishes. The front door remained open, and at times the smell of car exhaust from vehicles parked along the street entered the dining area, which made the environment less pleasant. Due to these factors, I finished my meal quickly and personally would not choose to return.
