It is in a little strip mall on Elliot and I've passed it many times and stopped in spontaneously one night. I'm so glad that I did! This restaurant is female owned and her family works in the restaurant with mom. The menu is very extensive-lots of mouth watering choices and if you're unsure of what some items are, the owner takes her time explaining various dishes, and based on your preferences makes great recommendations. They have everything from custom soups, delicious and intriguing custom curries and Bangkok street food! You can control the amount of spice and they actually use real Thai spices. I had lemongrass fish which could have served 2 people but I enjoyed almost every bite. I did share a few pieces with my husband who had already eaten! It was delicious and unique. Next, my grandsons choice will be Garlic Udon, and my granddaughter can order gluten free options-a big deal for us because she has celiacs. The prices are very reasonable and less than many places. I think we found our go-to Thai family restaurant!!!

We were seated right away on a Tuesday afternoon…read more Our server, Livier, and had excellent service! She gave us water and we got to try a couple of the beers before deciding what to order. She further gave us advice on what they are known for, which is pizza and their rotisserie chicken. We ordered the Teuffle cheese bread to start. OMG YUM YUM YUM! We decided to share our entrees. So we ordered the Aviator and black truffle mushroom pizza, a well as the Spicy rigatoni pasta. Holy cows... hold da brakes.... it was all so good. Honestly, everything we experienced today was so excellent from the service to the ambiance to the food. Holy moly, definitely coming back again! Totally recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent service and good quality food. Only thing that could make it better is to give a pie serving utensil to serve the pizza slices on the bread items, but really that ain't going keep me back from returning! It would just be a nice touch since the slices are larger than our knife.

This is a neat family establishment. The mother is the chef and Khadija (forgive me if I botched…read morethe spelling) is the daughter and our server. They were so welcoming. I am still learning about middle eastern cuisine so the chef described some entrees. I told her about a Pakistani dish I really enjoyed and she made me a similar chicken dish that isn't even on the menu! What I love about middle eastern food is that it is so fragrant and a full scale sensory overload. It looks, smells and tastes all at once. Khadija was adorable and very outgoing. I was super impressed by the whole vibe. All of the other patrons were probably far more familiar with the cuisine, but we felt welcome and were so honored that they presented something off the menu for me. I plan to try the regular menu dishes next time. The naan is outstanding, too.

I was absolutely delighted to find this place so close to home! Can't believe I hadn't noticed it…read morebefore. I was browsing Uber Eats for Mediterranean food when I found Golden and realized they had something that looks an awful lot like Khachapuri (here it's on the menu as Aldo). So I abandoned my plans of delivery food and promptly made my way in to eat. We got a solid sampling of the menu: - hummus/foul - Aldo with cheese and an over easy egg (I think their default may be scrambled but they do over easy if you ask!) - stuffed grape leaves - labani + black olive flatbread - kufta with tomato sauce - shawarma chicken wrap Lord above, my heart was so happy. The foul is exceptionally garlicky. Perfectly so. My partner said the hummus was his favorite thing we ordered, and he's a pretty discerning dude! The Aldo was excellent. The grape leaves came out hot, which surprised me, but again - solid! Flatbread? Stellar. Maybe even better the next day. The kufta didn't particularly excite me, but I wasn't the one who ordered it, and my partner was happy. My shawarma wrap? Oh boy, that garlic sauce. They even perfectly portion the innards so your pickles aren't all stuck to one side and the fries to the other. You can have pickles in almost every bite! We also got several desserts to take home. I haven't sampled them yet, but the hazelnut baklava in particular intrigues me. Casual ambiance. Options for booths or tables, inside or outside. I am so thrilled to have found Golden - they'll be a regular spot for me!

We love Thai food and have our own favorite place, but are open to trying other places too…read more The other day we were getting Boba drinks and noticed a sign on a fried chicken place 2 doors down advertising that they now were serving Thai food, we remarked that we would need to try it soon and decided to later that week. When I first googled the name, a menu came up that had only the fried chicken options, no Thai food, so I called the location directly and was given the correct URL. I looked up the menu and it looked good so we called back and placed an order. For some reason they had no online ordering even though the page appeared to offer it. We took the food home - chicken basil stir-fry and pad thai. The food was absolutely HORRIBLE! The stir-fry was supposed to have fresh vegetables, but these were frozen mixed vegetables that are limp and gross - cuts of broccoli, crinkle cut carrots and peas. The chicken was minimal and I did not taste any basil. The pad thai sauce tasted like it was from a bottle - too sugary sweet and not a lot of flavors, there were also frozen vegetables in this, which is odd. The rice was over cooked and soggy, the pad thai noodles were also. We asked for 3-star heat (medium to kind of hot), there was zero spice in anything. Each entrée was around $20, so this was not inexpensive. The food was so bad that I couldn't even finish my dinner and leftovers went to waste because no one else in our house would eat them either. We were very disappointed and won't be back.

They serve the dosa kind of like a wrap, where all the tikka filling is wrapped into the crispy dosa bread. It comes with coconut and tomato chutneys which were both flavorful.

The portions were HUGE and I could not eat all of it, but makes for great leftovers. Would definitely recommend!
