Ordered on uber and was deeply disappointed with the food. The chicken fried rice was so spicy with spoonfulls of red chillie pieces in it, that we had to throw it. The crab rice was equally spicy and had something like grated coconut on top which we found was something that only tasted a bit like crab. Besides the white snow on top there was no crab in the rice. There too morchillie than rice!! Having lived in Thialand for ten years we know what Thai rice is. The restaurants has got a bunch of Sri Lankan cooks who are making spicy Sri lankan fried rice which Nara Thai is palming off as Thai food. Even wayside Thai restaurants have better food. Don’t bother to order from them. Absolute scam and a total rip off! Never again!!

A group of friends ate here a few weeks ago, the choice of meals and the quality was beyond everyone's expectations! A restaurant you must visit whenever you are in Colombo.

Nothing fancy. Average food. If you are looking for a great Thai meal, I would not recommend it. Pad Thai was average. Chicken rice seems to be spicy only.
