Kalaya - Philadelphia

Excellent eating without doubt. fresh and beautifully seasoned, moderately spicy. the entrances were well divided. a little expensive. that was my first covid19 outdoor dining experience. the menu app was difficult to use and could have been made easier with some instructions. we sat near the house door under the window outside, which went too close to all the entrance and exit of the interior and approached the door for exit orders. that made the experience somewhat distracting and annoying. I'd ask for another table next time.

Food was excellent- beautiful presentation and full of flavor. I am a fan of this local establishment and the kindness of the owner when I have encountered her before with take out service. Outdoor dining service was slow/disorganized last night which may be due to adjusting to re-opening, thus will hopefully improve. You have to pay gratuity before receiving the service, which isn’t ideal if the service isn’t on par. I would return again to support this local business.

Food was absolutely incredible! Service was weird and the ordering system did not give the opportunity to ask questions about what we were ordering. Ambience is a tough one to answer in these Covid times as the only ambience is the sidewalk right now. Let me reiterate, however: the food was INCREDIBLE! If you like Thai food, you will LOVE this. If you don't think you like Thai food, this place will change your mind.

They can accommodate vegan diet very easily. Everything we tried was great. Get the mushroom tapioca dumplings :

Delicious unique Thai food. Read reviews beforehand to help you figure out what you want to order.
