Review Iyara Thai - Broadbeach

From the moment we walked up to the counter till when we left, I was impressed. The Thai dishes tasted authentic and the staff members were super friendly and helpful. Pricing was pretty reasonable too for the amount of dishes ordered.

Great service, tasty food, decent portion, value price. and they fast! What else can we ask for a good thai food? Plus, you'll get infused chill water. Mine is apple and lemon, and my partner got strawberry. Also, my partner ask for a tea, and they served in a cup without even charge it. Will be a regular for sure ❤️

This was the most perfect place to commence our evening of festivities for our fun social catch up .. Incredible hospitality & service, exquisite food presented so impeccably from beautiful Lyara Thai Broadbeach as well.. If you are seeking an incredible dining experience to entertain your friends & family, whether a group or intimate experience.. this incredible Venue should not be missed .. Along with all of the above .. they also offer Free secured parking with every dining experience .. so .. what are you waiting for ? Tell them that Tammy sent you x

A bit hassle to find parking, you need to park in the street around the restaurant, very convenient location to use public transport Nice and polite staff Good area Foods not so tasty as we ate in Sydney, more customised spice needed. But it was very fresh and good quality,

Great food best customer service. The food here is amazing and so fulfilling. Very fast services as well. Staff are so friendly. Will certainly come back next time we in the area. Take away or dine in

A lovely Thai restaurant, where customers are made to feel very welcome and the food is delightful. I had the flat rice noodle stir fry, vegetables and tofu and it was very tasty, not oily and very well presented. My wife had the stir fry vegetable and chicken and it too was tasty and not oily at all. Highly recommended if you like Thai food, try this if you are in Broadbeach

The perfect place for group bookings. I made a reservation for 9 people & to put us in a private space, away from everyone else..The restaurant delivered!!. The service was amazing, drinks were topped up, plates were taking as soon as it was finished & they remained with us to offer their amazing service. The food tasted like it was purely made from the heart. The food was amazing & balanced, also served in traditional Thai dishes with a Thai interior...also got free complimentary shots & payment was split between 9 with ease.

Tonight, I typed into google “best Thai on Gold Coast” and this place came up. I thought I would give them a go and I was not disappointed! My partner and I are very particular with our food and this place was so yummy! The service was very prompt, very friendly and you even get prawn complimentary prawn crackers upon arrival. I now have my new favourite Thai food restaurant! I highly recommend!

We go here everytime we are in gold coast and we seriously think this is "the best thai we have ever had". The green chicken curry is to die for and the crispy skin duck is also sensational. Service fantastic and price is reasonable. Love this place!

Absolutely to die for � we stopped in for take away on valentines day after seeing the amazing reviews and it did not disappoint. The gentleman that served us was so polite and nice, the girls walking around serving were so friendly, the place just had such a happy vibe about it. The food was absolutely Devine, I can’t stop thinking about it. We will defiantly be making this one of our go to from now on!

My favourite restaurant on the Coast. They have great options for vegetarians, the food is always consistently incredible amd the staff are the most lovely people. Your water glass never goes empty and the schnapps you are supplied at the end of your meal just tops off the evening! The owner/manager should be commended on not only the training of his staff but the incredible service he himself offers and the atmosphere he has created to dine in! It's great to be recognised when you walk in the door.

Good food & attentive service<br/>The staff at this restaurant on the Gold Coast Highway are super attentive and accommodating. They were happy to customise the meals we ordered to suit our taste (less sugar and Thai hot) and they were super quick to top up our water and our wine. The food was cooked and presented beautifully and came out very quickly. There were lots of little extra touches like the water with strawberry and apples!

Can’t complain about anything! Took a good night out with great food to an amazing experience at a very reasonable cost. <br/>I’m from nsw and have travelled a lot in qld and nsw for work and eaten out too many times to remember. And would rate it right up the top. <br/>I’ll be back as soon as I can get back into qld after Covid lock down. <br/>Warrick Jackson

Delicious family meal. Not extremely traditional or mind-blowing Thai food but perfectly enjoyable, especially if you’re travelling with young children. The restaurant is spacious and the staff make an effort to make the little ones feel comfortable e.g. bowl if crunchy snack at the start of the meal and lollipop at the end. <br/><br/>We had the mixed entree, all excellent. The chicken satay was not spicy and Mr 5yo asked for more. The cashew chicken had a fantastic sauce but the chicken was slightly overcooked. I would have preferred all veg next time as the sauce made the perfectly cooked veggies delicious and easy to sneak into our otherwise carnivorous 5yo. Pineapple fried rice was good too. Serving size is generous. Overall, a great place for family dinner.

We ordered Green curry and Beef stir fry. Not impressed at all. Beef was not cooked properly and the food was tasteless. The Curry was also not great. The service was reasonable.

We had their pad thai and crab fried rice and we were very happy! Big portions. However, we like our food a bit spicy so we ordered some chili flakes and the staff was very accommodating and tended to our requests with a smile. We were seated in a corner but they always came to ask how our food was and to fill up our glasses. Needless to say we left with full stomachs and smiles! Would return again when visiting the Gold Coast.

Best Thai food and restaurant I have ever had and experienced since I came to Australia. That pineapple fried rice is phenomenal! Staff were so friendly and accommodating. They even gave us complimentary shots of butterscotch! Will recommend to anyone who's going to Gold Coast!

Food was amazing, service was excellent, drinks were delicious, one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at! Satisfies your craving for authentic Thai food.

Ordered the sweet and sour pork, vegetarian fried rice and pad Thai. All dishes were full of flavour, were ample portions and were reasonably priced. <br/><br/>Service was some of the best I’ve had. Such lovely and accomodating staff. <br/><br/>

Welcoming atmosphere, very kind and attentive staff, and delicious food. What more can anyone want? This was a fantastic find. Definitely recommend it.

It was our first stop of our 8 day trip to the Gold Coast and we were quite tired by the time we landed and settled into our apartment but we were all hungry 😁 it smelt very good from our apartment the place had great service and the food was excellent. We had rice, spring rolls chicken pad Thai we didn't end up finishing it all so we took the rest home for breakfast the next day it was definately a winner for me and would recommend it to all.

Fast service but unfortunately the food, in my case chicken pad thai and crispy noodles with chicken prawn and tofu was not even average. The pad thai lacked egg and nuts and was quiet moist and glaggy. The crispy noodles was simplt a large container of crispy noodle with a sweet sauce on it. Way too many noodles not enough of the other i.e. meat or veg. Basically both dishes were just noodles with sauce. The steamed rice was the best part. Very disappointed, thai is my fav :(

Don’t save this place until your last night, it should be on your day 1 list to do. Staff, service , location and the food were amazing. <br/>Exceptionally well priced in a beautiful restaurant.<br/><br/>We chose the crispy skin duck with coconut rice and it was the best.

Really nice and polite staff. The food is excellent. Must try the chicken red and yellow curries. Decent portion sizes too. The restaurant is usually pretty busy which is a good sign!

We were very impressed. Great ambience and welcoming, professional wait staff. A nicer decor/vibe than our usual neighbourhood Thai.<br/>This place is located on the GC hwy, opposite Pacific Fair, where the tram line terminates, near the Sierra Grande Hotel. <br/>We went in a large group and were served quickly and attentively.<br/>The menu is extensive and the food was beautiful, the most authentic Thai food I've had in some time.<br/>We enjoyed fabulous fish cakes and chicken satay for entree. Serving sizes were generous.<br/>We had a rich, spicy red curry duck and soft shell crab for main. Again, serving size was generous, particularly the soft shell crab. Next time I'd get that spicy, but it was lovely served medium.<br/>Table water was a bit fancy, infused with sliced fruit and it was a great touch.<br/>Byo wine was a bonus too.<br/>We'll definitely return to try some of the many other great sounding dishes.

Super moment et dégustation le personnel très serviable et la cuisine est très bonne, compte tenu des quantités impossible de prendre entrées/plats donc doggy bag pour nous

Stayed at a hotel nearby and simply walked down the street. I looked at their menu and was drawn to the soft shell crabs. The atmosphere was very pleasant. I took the food back to my hotel and I absolutely loved the soft shell crab combined with the steamed rice and veggies in a beautiful mild curry sauce. Omg just delicious. There was plenty of food so I had left overs the following day! I wish I had time to go back !

Food was great. <br/>Service was excellent. <br/>Banquet we ordered was great value for money. <br/>Really really enjoyed our meal and time there. Would definitely return.

Great food and great service Iyara. Can't go wrong with both. Order the crispy skin duck - yum yum yum. Staff attentive but not pushy, which is a great change.

The service here is fantastic. The 3 stars are for them. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the food. It wasn't great at all. We have been to Thailand many times and it's our favourite cuisine. This doesn't come close to authentic Thai. <br/>😰<br/>

This is without a doubt the best Thai restaurant on the coast, ambiance, food and service all spot on. The food is so fresh, you can easily tell, if you want great food and at affordable prices then this is it, forget the others just go here. I will be back many times now that I know it.  A great option for takeaway too!

Dined here for dinner tonight as it was close to our hotel. I can honestly say this was one of the best Thai meals I have eaten. The restaurant has a lovely ambience & the most gorgeous decor. The staff are lovely & very helpful. The menu is large & loaded with delicious sounding dishes, in the end our party of three shared the dim sums to start & had vegetarian fried rice, roast duck, chicken cashew & a prawn dish which the waitress recommended for mains. The alcohol at Iyara is also very reasonable, we shared a bottle of moscato which was under $30. All of the food was served in good time, the presentation was beautiful & the portions were generous. Most importantly we thoroughly enjoyed all of food. Everything about Iyara was basically perfect, even the table water is infused with fruits, a little touch which we all enjoyed. We were given complimentary crackers upon arrival & a complimentary butterscotch snaps shot after our meal. I would highly recommend Iyara & if I was a local I would visit regularly.

Very good traditional Thai food! The food were serviced very fast and delicious! The staffs are really nice and friendly. I will definitely recommend it to my friend. We were really happy about the meal.

Pretty decent Thai food - the flavour was good. The service was good, wait staff was attentive and kept water being topped up. I don't know if it is the BEST Thai I have ever eaten, but it was pretty good.

Whilst I can only comment from a takeaway perspective, we found the food to be excellent. Tasted great and the servings were generous. Staff at the front counter were very friendly too.

Was craving some thai so decided to give this one a try as it was near our hotel. Ordered prawn tom yum soup, chicken and prawn pad thai and pla tod (fried fish). Tom yum was nice with a good amount of prawns and mushrooms. Pad thai was ok, though I've had better. Pla tod was the best dish of the three for me, a very generous amount of fish and tasted superb. Service was fantastic. The staff were very attentive (a bit too much at times. We were asked four times, by different staff, whether we were enjoying our meal.) Their complimentary table water even comes with fruit pieces!<br/>Final verdict: Was very satisfied with our meal and would definitely recommend if your are looking for thai food.  Service is great and so is the food!

Close to our accommodation so thought we would give it a try. Lovely food, great service, kid friendly, highly recommended if you feel like some thai food, loved the red curry

I only had a main meal but loved mine and hubbies. Nice fresh veges and prawns, beef and scallops. Yum. <br/>Prawn entree over cooked but mains fantastic

Fabulous food and friendly staff. Best Thai on the coast. Great variety and very tasty. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. We will be back 😀
