Dara Thai

I've passed this restaurant on Cerrillos Road for a couple of years now, and never stepped in. Why? I love Thai food so this restaurant should have been tried long ago. L doesn't like Thai food. At least, she thinks she doesn't. Thursday, L turned to me and said, "Let's try that Thai place on Cerrillos". I was taken by surprise but let's not look a gift horse in the mouth.

The menu carried many common varieties of Thai dishes and I selected Panang curry chicken since that was about the only dish with curry I thought L would like. She hates curry but I didn't want to eat something Asian (Dara Thai has options like orange chicken and cashew chicken)-- what's the point?

The panang curry chicken was brought over in a nicely steaming bowl. We had ordered a '2' (from the 1 to 5 spicy option) and it was spicy enough to give some heat but not reach the ears if you know what I mean. The chicken itself was delicious and the sauce was pretty good. This is a dish I would order again, definitely.

3 stars out of 5 for now.
