I’ve only done carry out here and their food is delicious. I always give a place a once over when I come in for a carry out or to eat in the first time and every time I step in to get my stuff the place is spotless. The staff are very friendly and professional. I love the fact there is a good Thai place right in burnet so I don’t have to go to Austin for it.Vegetarian options: I do eat meat but do like having no meat options for when I’m not feeling like it or fasting or whatever and love the fact they have vegetarian menu options.Dietary restrictions: I’m allergic to fish and shellfish and don’t eat pork if I can help it but find their menu to be very accommodating.Parking: Shares parking with a convince store and an ice machine (close to road) but other than people driving like they own the road around here there is plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Fairly mobility disabled friendly considering it’s a small Texas town and none of them really design for the disabled in mind.

Yeah not my bag. So it's Thai food but it's a limited menu for Thai and really has like 3 to 5 times as many takeout patrons than eat in patrons. The eat in hours are wacky and the menu is simple. It's got a wacky interior and I'd lean more towards a 2 but their Pad Thai is a great to go item everyone seems to like. But it's not your traditional Thai restaurant and the menu isn't very flexible. Now I know people swear by this place but it's in Burnet Texas and I imagine most people that live out here haven't been to a strictly Thai restaurant like you find in major cities like Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio. And I'm a transplant so my first Thai experiences 20 years ago were in NYC. And even there you had 2 star Thai and 5 star Thai. But on the flip side it's got Thai take out in Burnet that tastes decent. It's hard when there's mostly TexMex and Barbecue and a small variety of places to get something different and this place fills that void. So if you're not in the mood for a burger at Storms or some fast food or Temex this fills that gap. It's conveniently located by a gas station, has quick take out, and they're very pleasant people. Lastly it has like a mini mart attached but that's kind of wacky too. Not a traditional Asian grocery, lord knows it's not an Hmart, but I imagine it has the staples most people need. Kind of ambivalent about this place. And a tad on the pricey side for what it is. There were 4 of us and we spent 90 bucks. I can't even tell you on what.

We have enjoyed Aranya's for many years and still continue to enjoy her Thai food several times each month. Good selection, great quality and service. I have tasted and liked the curries all (except for the pineapple one, not a fan of pineapple). Thai fried rice is great one to start with or Pad Kee Mao.

Food...SUCKED!!!! I ordered a sweet and sour chicken and got BLAND, uncooked chunks of raw vegetables. He'll, I'll save them for fajitas tomorrow. Ordered fried rice. I received under cooked rice with ONE PIECE, a hint of scrabbled egg. I drove 20 minutes for this. Even the egg rolls, which are normally edible, tasted like nothing but burned grease. Pathetic

Worst Thai food we’ve ever had. Ordered yellow curry, and chicken with peanut sauce. Yellow curry so salty it was not edible sent it back ordered Thai fried rice with veggies it had no flavor very bland, no pineapple, tomatoes not ripe at all. Chicken it’s peanut sauce very bland and watery. Asked for side of peanut sauce to put on it and that made it edible. We dined in and our food was served to us in plastic dishes. Worst Thai food dining experience ever. No idea how they have a 4.6 rating.

Who would have thought they would be an authentic Thai restaurant in Burnet Texas this place is a little gem, very authentic excellent food the menu is not so large but that would be expected for a small restaurant and there's a little grocery store there with all kinds of Thai sauces and things not as many sweets as there was last time when I was there. But the owner did serve me a nice rice pudding with mango something or other on it that was very delicious and I had to take half of it home cuz there's so much of it so all in all highly recommended

Tasty Thai food at reasonable prices.The ambiance isn't much to write home about as restaurant is part of a convenience store, but it's the only Thai food in Burnet.Seems like the veggies like onions, peppers, etc could often use a bit more cooking time, but not a major issue.

This is one of the few gems in burnet! The veggies on our dishes were nice and fresh, cooked to the right amount of crisp. Other items we got were also delicious! I’m a big fan of their iced chai lattes and will probably go back just for that alone!

Best Thai restaurant in the area. The food is very good and fresh here. Highly recommend the pad Thai and all the curries. Summer rolls and crab cheese wonton are my favorite apps. There is also a thai store inside the restaurant so you can get everything from thai tea mix to spices and snacks. If you love authentic Thai dishes this is the place to go.

Thai food and grocery. Food was excellent, lots of choices even after shortening the menu post-Covid. Red curry is spicy, but delish, veggies are fresh and crisp. Super fast. Nice staff, very casual.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian chices, fresh very crisp vegetables
