Ariya Thai Cuisine

Wow! We ordered 3 dishes for lunch yesterday (takeaway due to Covid regulations of course). We are seriously fussy Thai food eaters (and there’s a crazy-high standard for Thai food in Australia where it’s one of the unofficial national cuisines). We’ve eaten Thai all over the world - from Berlin to Bangkok and back. We asked for extra heat in the Penang curry, satay stirfry and the hot basil dish was hot anyway - All three meals were perfect! (FYI - if you like heat and spice it pays to ask for extra on the gold coast... from experience and perhaps an older demographic who actively ask for ‘no spice’, we think a lot of venues have ‘dumbed down’ their dishes for the local palates). Our mum was with us and she is hard to please on the satay front...Even she was happy. Unfortunately it was so good and we were pretty hungry after a morning out shopping... so everything was almost finished before we thought ‘take a photo’. Going back today to stock the freezer with a selection of lunch dishes. Staff were friendly, contactless payment was quick and easy - they said 15-20 minutes for the dishes - probably 25 by the time we wandered back and they were packed and waiting. Recommend Highly.

Atmosphere, Attention to detail and Amazing food gets my AAA seal of approval. Layers of flavour and aromatics make for delicious dining that won't break the bank. Ariya is one of those hidden gems just of the main drag that foodies like to keep to them selves. Frankly you'd be a dope not to hit this place up.

Beautiful food. Nicely done decor. Interesting to have the tables and seating positioned at the same level as the raised floor.

Absolutely phenomenal food! Can not recommend highly enough.
It is also worth noting that the service was fantastic too.
I believe it was Colin who took my order the other night when I walked into the restaurant, he was incredibly personable and attentive.
Do yourselves a favour and get down to Ariya for some mouth-watering Thai.

We recently rediscovered this hidden gem of a restaurant! It had been closed on a few of our previous visits but has reopened and is better than ever. The food was fantastic, although we left feeling rather full as we couldn’t leave any behind as it was soo tasty. My partner enjoyed some Thai hot chillis to the side as he likes his food spicy and the rest of us don’t. Every single dish was delicious but the masaman beef curry was the best I’ve had. Service was amazing - we will be back again soon

THE BEST THAI ON THE GC! Amazing food, great service, friendly staff and very prompt. Love the traditional option of dining with the sunken lounges. Definitely recommend and will be back soon. Would highly recommend the satay chicken! Yum

Great dumplings and fish cakes and the Massam Curry was very very tasty. The owner was very charming and friendly and could not do enough to make us feel welcome.

Most amazing thai we have ever had. Peanut sauce dish and the laksa curry were the best my partner and I have ever had. Prices are super cheap for lunch and staff are great. We come here every time we drive down from Brisbane!

Beautiful restaurant, great food, great service. The owners were lovely and make you feel very welcome. Pad se ew was delicious and the macadamia prawns where amazing. Definitely going back for more.

We had a lovely lunch at this restaurant. Very nice food, friendly staff and great decor. The lunch specials were great value. Will definitely be back

We were excited to discover that Ariya Thay had just reopened .
We each had a different dish and all three were very happy with our meal.
The service was great and the staff was very helpful and friendly .
You will not be disappointed.

First visit to this Thai restaurant definitely will not be our last !
Excellent food - We stuck to our favourites Pad Thai / Chicken with Cashews / Satay sticks - the satay sauce is superb
Great atmosphere
Well priced

Lovely restaurant, lovely staff. Had the most delicious satay chicken skewers. Best satay sauce we've ever had. Would definitely recommend.

I eat out a fair bit and this is quite easily the best Thai I’ve had in a bloody long time!
Friendly staff and a lovely traditional feel. I will certainly be returning!

Great food, delicious!!!
Lovely atmosphere, highly recommend. Interesting authentic seating. Curry puff and spring roll, hand made!!!

What a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant has a lovely intimate feel and Colin and his staff were so professional and friendly. We will be back.

We had lunch here last weekend and had prior to Covid. It was so good, we really enjoyed it and we will be going back. So good to see them open again! Keep doing what ya doing!

Great service and fantastic Thai food :) we had the cashew nut chicken and Panang curry - both dishes were delicious. Much recommended!
