Dara Thai Twisters

"What seemed like a 50's American diner is actually a goldmine for authentic Thai cuisine. This unassuming spot in a lesser traversed part of town is a hidden gem, one that should not be missed. Meaty and flavorful chicken Satay, rich and creamy coconut milk curry dishes, and delightful stir-fries. The service is amazing as well! Come and get your Southeast Asian food fix."

"The food was absolutely fantastic! It was a rainy day, and I was craving some delicious Thai cuisine. I didn’t have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. As I walked in, I was momentarily startled by a life-sized Elvis statue right by the door, which added a quirky touch to the visit. The food itself was phenomenal, with flavors that truly delighted my taste buds. The portions were incredibly generous, making it a satisfying meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone passing by you won’t regret it!"

"Thank you so much! First, I was amazed by the nostalgic, vintage-inspired design, and then I was blown away by the food. One portion of the soup is more than enough for two people—absolutely delicious! My friends have been to Thailand, and they say this place is just as authentic and flavorful. The presentation of the dishes is top-notch, and everything tastes incredible. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!"

"Dara Thai apparently bought Twisters and moved in, leaving the 50s diner look the same. So its weird to be a Thai restaurant looking like that. But the food was good. The locals pointed us to it. The dishes we had were better than we've had from other places that served the same thing."

"The food surpassed my expectations for a Thai restaurant in Arizona. One of the servers was from the province next to where we last lived in Thailand. We had the yellow curry and red curry. Flavors were close to what we would expect in Thailand. Normally, I would order green curry, but the listed ingredients were not what I would expect in Thailand (though they are not unusual for green curry in the US.) The decor was unique--in the style of a 1950's diner. Portions we larger--we got two meals out of it. Servers were friendly, but one of the servers was not Thai and could not answer some of my questions about the food, since some Thai dishes I only know the Thai names for, and I am not sure what the English names are describing. My four star rating for the food is not because of the quality, but my disappointment in not having the kind of green curry I am used to (with round eggplant, pea eggplant, and kaffir lime leaves)."
