Absolutely stunning authentic Thai food. Could not fault any dish that we had. I dined here twice during my stay in Cairns and both times Iyara delivered. Cannot recommend this place enough. If you want fantastic Thai food, dont worry about the others, Iyara is the place to go. A+++

This is the only restaurant I make sure to visit at least once every couple weeks... the food is absolutely incredible (best Thai in all of Cairns hands down)... I recommend the curry puffs, beetle leaf and beef masaman. Everything on the menu is full of flavour, the ingredients are extremely fresh and high quality, and the food is consistent every time.

Sakare the owner is absolutely amazing, she cares so much for the food and makes us feel like family every visit.

I also recommend ordering a cocktail, they are divine! The Tom yum soup cocktail is really unique and tasty, I recommend trying it for something different to pair with your meal.

I have taken so many people to this restaurant and everyone falls in love with it. Highly recommend this amazing place!!

We eat Thai. Around the world , or Chinese Style Thai, but the prices here were outrageous, the ambiance is good ! But if your happy to cough up for Ambiance then this could suit you , The Thai place 50 meters away was two thirds of the price and sell chicken other than breast . Mass a man curry was sickly sweet , the pork hock deep fried was greasy and the Phad Thai noodles undercooked , the meals were more reminiscent of French nouveau cuisine, Service good but food just terrible and over priced ,
