Aiyara

Im a skip driver, I was picking up an order from the restaurant beside this one, I asked to use their washroom because I'm always on the road and this lady in the picture denied me access because of the relationship between the two stores. How inhuman, doesnt matter if were a driver or customer, you shall always allow people to use the washroom when in dire need of it. I reccomend not eating here or coming to use the washroom. VERY RUDE.

Ordered takeout and unfortunately the food was not something I could recommend. The Pad Thai and restaurant specialty salmon dish were both too sweet and tasted like they contained ketchup. The salmon had a strong smell which was almost unappetizing. This was surprising since this place has so many positive reviews.

Amazing curry! Every time I go there feeling great pleasure!

We ordered spring rolls, pad thai and green curry. The curry was ok but more hot than flavourful. The pad thai was possibly the worst I have ever had. It was DRENCHED in a sauce that was only vaguely reminiscent of Thai flavours. It was so acidic, I could not eat it. The spring rolls were flavourless and apparently so hot (with oil) when they were put in the Styrofoam container that they singed holes in the bottom of it...Cannot recommend.

Great food. Very friendly service .

I ordered a non-spicy meal and it was delicious. Clean, nice decor, friendly, authentic.

Best Thai in Ottawa!! When I lived here this was a weekly regular spot for me. The staff are friendly, courteous, and make sure you have a great experience. The only thing that beats the service is the food. It smells amazing and before you even see it your mouth begins to water. When you see it you are presented with a work of art which makes you feel bad you are going to ruin for a moment but immediately disappears once you take your first bite. Aiyara is and always will be my go to place in Ottawa.

One of my favourite Thai restaurants in the city. Food is consistently good here.

Very nice. Never try never know. No.57 in the menu is the best trust me.

Good food at a reasonable price.

Delicious and cute restaurant. If you’re looking for good thai food in Ottawa this is your place. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy and the staff was also friendly. My partner and I got the summer rolls to start which were so fresh and light and we shared the shrimp pad thai and a red chicken curry. It was plenty of food and good value for the money. The presentation of the meals was especially nice. I would 100% recommend trying out this restaurant.

Great experience I had this day I came in a late noon on a weekday where atmosphere is quiet. Staff are great and polite. Service is fast as we didn’t wait too much after ordering. I really enjoyed my pineapple fried rice, which I ordered by looking at the photos on the menu and on Google Maps. This restaurant really deserves to be recommended by Google Maps, which I used it to find this restaurant.

i like yellow curry - steph curry likes new palm companion phone- *not available in Canada 😭

I loved the food and peaceful background music. We'll go again for sure

I have eaten there twice. Had diarrhea twice.

Very good food at a very good price.

Hidden gem! So delicious, great service, very reasonable prices

This is not authenticate that food. Kitchen staff are all Chinese cooking Thai food. Not good at all. It's souch better at Green Payaya

Amazing food. I mostly do take out and it's always ready in less than 15 minutes and piping hot! Portions are really big too. Their takeout containers are reusable and microwave friendly which is a nice plus.Highly recommend!

Excellent food, great atmosphere, squeaky chairs.

Went once with my family, the food was ordinarily and taste more chinese than thai. I had the misfortune to forget my expensive Burberry jacket on the back of the chair, although the restaurant was empty, I returned to ask for my forgotten jacket and they claimed to my surprise that they didn't find anything. I will never set my feet back in this place..

We love this place and always enjoy the food. I usually have curry and rice but had sauteed veggies instead. Great mix of spices and good serving size. I tried the yellow curry with tofu that hubby had and it was delicious!

Really good eats. Very imaginative food sculptures of the garnish variety. Service is OK, but they seem under staffed. Small restaurant, decent ambiance, not the greatest location, but the variety and quality of Thai dishes is superb.

Wonderful food, generous portions!

Good spot, but like others have noted the pad Thai has a distinct tomato paste kind of taste. Other than that the pineapple rice was good (pictured) as well as the rice rolls.

Hi everyone! I just went to Aiyara, the elephant-centric nourishment haven. There was even postage too.

I ordered delivery from here on Skip. The restaurant forgot to include one of the items. I get it; mistakes happen, but when I phoned in the omission, the lady on the other end of the phone was rude. She offered no apology and told me that I could come to the restaurant to pick up the rest of my order. After a bit of back and forth, she told me the chef could drive it to my home after he finishes his shift tonight, but that there was nothing else they could do. Poor customer service aside, the food I did receive was just mediocre.

Good food, excellent service and priced just right.

Good food. Pleasant people. A little over-priced.

Great food, big portions, quick and pleasant service, consistent quality. Our go to place for Thai takeout.

I've tried nearly every Thai restaurant in Ottawa and this place was fantastic. Unfortunately Singha Thai (Merivale) still holds first place for me but it closed 6 months ago so this is as close as it gets. Highly recommend it if you like traditional Thai food.

Really​ good green curry, just the right amount of heat.

Excellent service and great food

This isn't Thai food. Beware unless you feel like chinese food in a thai restaurant. No Thai flavors at all.

We love the food there!

This place is something else. Easy to miss but when you find it, you'll love it. Great decor. They carve out fruits and vegetables in animal shapes. The food is great (and spicy!). This place is definitely a place you want to go to either alone or with your family.

One of the best thai food places in Ottawa. The chicken fried rice is amazing. Delivery is always prompt and friendly.

Attentive and helpful staff. Beautiful atmosphere, including relaxing background music. Delicious and plentiful food. Pictured is a photo of my Pad See Yew, with a special request of double the egg. It was tasty. My companion ordered a chicken Pad Thai and from my taste of it, it was fabulous!

Good food great service.

Amazing food...our new go-to restaurant for anything Thai. The pineapple/cashew dish is a must, but the green (and yellow) chicken curries are equally great. Ask the manager/owner anything about the food - she is very friendly and informative.

Easily in the top three Thai restaurants in Ottawa, plus sometimes has awesome promotions like 6 free spring rolls with a $40 order. I’d place Aiyara alongside Silver Spoon and Pinn-To. Only note is that white folk may want to ask for slightly milder curries, their heat level tends towards the higher end. Their #17 mushroom and chicken with coconut milk soup deserves special mention — by far the best I’ve had in all my years of Thai eating.

Always delicious food and great service!

I never write reviews ever despite reading millions, but ate here for the 4th time last night n felt obliged to write one. 4 times it's been consistently amazing n delicious ( I'm south Indian so have high standards for flavor n spice) love this place!

Nice food, nice service! It is worth going! 👍🏼👍🏼

A hidden jewel in Ottawa south! Excellent food and service. Artistic plates.

Nice neighbourhood restaurant. Food is delicious portions are good but not very good options for vegans yet. Pricing feels a little high for a lunch menu (which is when i went). Worth a revisit for an evening meal.

The food is amazing, the portions are huge and the staff is very friendly.

Speechless, they are not joking when they say fine thia! Ordered they House special Duck, OMG! Green bean garlic and beef, off the charts in flavor when paired with Jasmine rice! Vegetarian dish spicy amazing. Full recommendations!

Do not order on the phone.The lady who took order did not understand what my husband said very well.I think someone else should take orders.He tried to tell her our adress but the lady said could not find our adress on her PC.We wanted ask to deliver food,but we gave up and went to pick it up.My husband ordered red curry, it was really delicious and he was very satisfied.But at the end he found something strange in his mouth and it was a plastic tag.I have no idea why the plastic in the food.I was disappointed, caz meal was great.Kitchen staffs have to be more careful.I am glad my husband notice it before go into his stomach.

Fantastic Thai! Was very impressed.
