Aiyara Thai Restaurant Leesburg VA

Prior to the change of management this was my go-to for Thai food in Leesburg. It was fantastic with an authentic flavor profile and great service. Back then I had previously given this restaurant 5 stars.

Now with the change in management, the food quality has dropped in a noticeable way. The food is now bland. They are also less willing to make changes to the food. For example, my wife loves Thai fried rice with cashews, but doesn’t like the pineapple that normally comes with it. Previously they were happy to remove the pineapple and add cashews of the dish didn’t come with them. Now they make a big fuss over it.

We have since started going to the Thai Pan restaurant for our Thai food fix in Leesburg. If you’re thinking of coming here, go there instead.

Authentic Thai food. Really good Thai food. The place is as nice inside as an authentic restaurant of this kind can be. It would be easy for me to nit pic small details about the building and layout, but I didn't want an americanised version. If you go there for the food you won't be dissapointed.

Stopped for lunch. I asked if the soy sauce was wheat-based and the girl knew immediately that I was asking about gluten free. She told me my choices on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was! There were three of us and we were all pleased with our dishes!

Aiyara is only about five minutes from my house so I have been a semi regular since they first opened. I've been to Thailand twice visiting family members living there and we all agree Aiyara serves authentic and very tasty Thai food. The menu has changed a bit under the new owner but my old favorites are still on the menu (and the servings are huge IMO). They actually added Thai "street food" for real aficionados and the service is still great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

This place has the best Pad Thai that you'll taste anywhere in the DC metro area. Their menu has wonderful options, all authentic Thai recipes, not the fusion kind...and you have a choice of getting spicy, or extra spicy!! Do try their drunken noodles too. They have buffet lunch for weekends. Parking isn't an issue, and the staff is really nice. If you like Thai food, you gotta try this place!
