Tara Thai

My brother found it, and it's delicious!! I was really nervous, but I really enjoy seafood. Not only did I enjoy the food, but there was more than enough to take home!! If you're ever near the Rio Shopping Center in Montgomery County, Maryland; I highly suggest you stop by and have a bite to eat!!

I was very excited to learn that Tara Thai had a large selection of GF foods. Due to COVID, they are only offering carry out and, unfortunately, their GF menu isn’t available online. I was a little nervous about ordering GF over the phone - when you speak to a server face-to-face, you can usually tell if they understand Celiac, cross contamination, etc when you mention it... but you lose this when ordering by phone. Anyway, the woman I spoke with seemed very knowledgeable about Celiac and the necessary precautions needed, so I felt comfort ordering. When I picked up the food, she showed me the GF menu and also said they can make many other dishes that weren’t listed GF also if I just asked. We have ordered several times now. The food is delicious and my Celiac daughter has never had any signs of being glutened.

I ordered Larb Gai off the gluten free menu for an app, it was spicy and delicious. I had chicken pad thai for dinner and it was excellent! Server seemed knowledgeable about celiac and notified the kitchen. We had a great meal!

Wow, this place is a hidden gem! I ordered takeout while I was in town for work. I was first impressed with the full gluten-free menu within their regular menu. The woman who took my order was very knowledgeable about the menu and what modifications would need to be made for GF.

I ordered the veggie Pad Thai and the mango with sticky rice. And wow! This is the best Pad Thai I've ever had (and I'm very particular about it). And the sticky rice tastes too good to be true.

The only drawback is how tucked away the restaurant is. But if you can make your way there...do! It's delicious.
