I love this place. They have a lunch menu and it’s cheaper and I’m surprised the serving is still generous! The staff are very respectful and courteous. The chef is amazing. He did the tom yum fried rice good. Spicy, full of flavor, generous.

A local Classic for Thai Food! Always quick service and fresh ingredients. Personal favourite: Massuman Curry and the pork ribs from the Entrée were so good!

One of my favourites, has never let me down! I have been going here since 2017 and took my sister here today. They gave us free spring rolls as it was a special day for the restaurant. She ordered the green curry with chicken (medium spice) and it was so flavoursome, without being too spicy, great for a cold day! I got the stir fried rice noodles with beef which is a usual for me and they’ve always been consistent in delicious flavour with lovely fresh vegetables. Great prices for lunch and the service has always been exceptional here, very attentive! 110% recommend to Thai lovers

As a frequent consumer of Thai food, it was time to give Tongtara a try.
While I had eaten here before, it had been years ago. I remember my first experience fondly, so was looking forward to this visit.
We were seated, served a bottle of water and drink orders were taken.
The drinks arrived and we then ordered our dinner.
We took advantage of the Silver level group deal, 4 people get a selection of entrees, a main each and ice cream all for $34 each.
The first course arrived quickly. The chicken nibbles were tasty, although somewhat small serving, A lot of vegetable spring rolls and some other bits and pieces.
Our mains arrived and they were fine. The most successful was the beef masaman, which was rich a flavourful.
I ordered the chicken cashew nut stir fry and it was tasty. The vegetables could be a little fresher, but the flavour was good. The only complaint here was that the main took 30+ minutes to come out after the entrees were finished, and this time was noticeable.
Dessert was ice cream with a sauce selection and this was OK too. Not the best Thai in town, I prefer Chokdee on the corner, but a good effort and appreciate the service.

Everything was Fantastic ! A cool rainy grey early evening … Nice and warm and cosy inside with relaxing chilled music playing in the background. Great friendly attentive service. We ordered a mix of entree’s that couldn’t be faulted. . Fish Cakes, mini pork ribs, melt in your mouth lemon salt pepper calamari, chicken nibbles… then a main to share of “Chef’s Special ” spicy crispy crumbed chicken and fried rice … Absolutely Delicious! And I Loved having Chard Farm Chardonnay : ) Thank You for a beautiful dinner !

Went for lunch with my sister and the service was amazing, So friendly! They gave us 4 free spring rolls to share due to it being a special day for the restaurant. I got the green curry with chicken and it was sooo tasty and my sister got stir fried noodles with beef and she loved it! Food and service was so good! Was a bit quiet in the restaurant so it felt a little weird but it made it easy to be able to have a good conversation. Love love love Tongtara and will definitely be going back as soon as possible ❤️

Ordered a medium pad thai chicken to take away for lunch and it was absolutely delicious! They used real chilli and it was full of flavour and saucy. Will be returning next time we are in Nelson!
