I'm surprised I never wrote about this place since I frequent it quite a bit. This is probably the first halal Thai restaurant I've come across, so I very much appreciate that. I really like the quality of the food here. It's comparable to some good authentic thai restaurants in the city. I ordered my items through Doordash (2 buck delivery fee, not bad): Chicken curry puff pastry- I love these. By far my favorite appetizer! They also give a condiment to go with it, which I didn't really like (it's like pepper, onions, etc. in diluted water or something??) Pad Kee Mao- I've ordered this in the past. It is definitely good BUT as some reviews mentioned, they do skimp on ingredients. In this case, it was the rice noodle itself: Way too many veggies Pad Thai- I had the chicken pad Thai. It's very good and the proportions are big. The chicken part isn't anything special but they don't charge you more for it, so might as well have it. Chicken thai fried rice- it's pretty good but I've seen other places have more flavor. Again, chicken isn't a deal breaker here but it won't set youck or anything from ordering it. I kind of wish they gave soy sauce or hot sauce as a condiment. The rice alone wasn't really doing it for me. I think it's worth noting that this may be one of the first (and probably only ) halal thai for miles. Anyways, support your local business by helping this unique halal joint.
The food is great and so is the environment! Very tasteful and filling. The only down side to this restaurant now is that they changed their policy to cash only which is hard nowadays and the service is a bit on the slower side.
We had the following at Amina's - Thai iced tea (good) -wings (good) -lollipop chicken (good) -fried rice (ok) -half chicken (ok) -coconut sticky rice with mango (good - my favorite dessert) Overall the food is decent. I would definitely come back.
The restaurant is owned and run by a Muslim Family from Thailand. Having spent time in Thailand, Bangkok we are familiar with the Authentic Taste and this Restaurant cones close to providing the taste of Eating in Thailand. We ordered Tom Yum soup with Shrimps, the soup was decent however it included only 3 pieces of shrimps which we find it to be "stingy"! The Green Curry with Chicken was awesome !!! Hands down gives you an Authentic taste of Thailand Green Curry ... Thailand Iced Tea was alright, could have been better. Maybe less ice, next time I will definitely try lychee Ice Tea. Drunken Noodles with chicken was good but not great. The Service was Excellent, the chef came to ask us how we liked the food. She was really nice :) We love it that it's a family owned business and they are able to provide you with a Taste of Thailand :) We are glad we went and looking fwd to enjoying other dishes.
