Naviya's Thai Kitchen

I truly enjoy good Thai food and only have this one visit in which to make a judgment, but based on this one visit I will definitely be back!Check the hours before going though because, strangely, they don't open for lunch until 12. Thankfully, I arrived at 1215.I was seated immediately, offered water and submitted my order within the first couple minutes. The food arrived quickly and was still steaming hot with a wonderful presentation and perfect amount of spice. I chose the MEDIUM level of spice (level 3) but they offer several hotter options, including "Thai hot".The serving size was more generous than I would have expected but it was so delicious I ate every bite. I set my credit card in the table upon completion of my meal and it was retrieved and processed quickly -- enabling me to finish my entire lunch in less than 20 minutes from arrival to departure. There was no rush and i didn't feel pressured, but it was nice to know they could process my order so quickly. I will definitely be back to try the green curry next!

Meh. This whole experience was just fine. The spring rolls were delicious. The pad Thai was decent. For a Thai place, I was expecting everything to be more flavorful. It was still good, but my golden standard for Thai food in the twin cities is Thai Table: this didn't hold up in comparison. The service was disappointing, especially given the neighborhood it's in. I'm not one who's bothered by not having 'friendly' service as long as they're still attentive. It felt like they were trying to get us out as fast as they could (we got there at 7:30, they close at 9, we only sat for maybe 45 mins) while also not being at the table when we needed them to be? It was weird service. The space itself is nice. They've got patio seating which I imagine can be nice in the summer, but they're unfortunately backed up to some pretty major road construction at the moment. I can find good spring rolls elsewhere so this one won't be a place I return to.

We had a lovely evening dining at this Linden Hills restaurant. The space is clean and open, and the service was helpful and cheerful. Our server answered all of our questions and made helpful suggestions.We started with the lettuce wraps, which were the perfect summer bite--light and refreshing, the different tastes and textures were united by a tasty sweet, salty, and tart sauce. Mom loved loved the crispy fried rice noodles so much she ate them by the handful. Mom really loved the massaman curry. It was sweet, smooth, and rich. The cinnamon came through clearly, and the carrots and potatoes were cooked to tender perfection. Mom adored the sauce. I was blown away by my Panang curry as well. The veggies were wok-charred, which was a surprising and absolutely delicious complement to the tongue-tingling spice of the curry. I'd never had this style of curry with a thick sauce that coated the other ingredients, but it worked really well here.We finished up with the mango and sticky rice, which is always a treat. I don't what magical store sells the Perfect Mangos that they used, but I wish I did--this dessert was a real treat!The portions are generous enough that you can take home another meal with your leftovers, and the menu had enough options to appeal to many dietary and taste preferences. It's a great place for vegetarians and vegans as well as obligate carnivores.

Nice little Thai restaurant, with a variety of dishes that consist of a little meat with a lot of veggies that differ depending on the sauce. The three-star spicy is actually fairly spicy, especially by Minnesota standards.

I ordered takeout from here and was happy with the service I received. I ordered the red curry with chicken at a three spice level. It was extremely spicy but the flavors were incredible. Definitely will be back but will be sure to get a lower level of spice!

Amazing food and service. So much flavor. Wonderful people. Nice modern setting. Can't wait to return.

The amazing places you can find through just a quick search always amaze me. Naviya's was no exception as the food, service, and atmosphere were amazing! I arrived on a super chilly Halloween evening to an empty spot. I was warmly welcomed and asked to sir wherever. I took a seat and checked out their menu, which had a diverse mix of curries, rice, appetizers, and other entrees. I was a little overwhelmed, so the waiter told me to try the green curry with chicken. I'm so glad I tried this as the curry was so delicious. It came out pipping hot and with medium spice. It made my lips tingle just enough, but not to the point of discomfort. I added the white rice that came on the side and chowed down. Every bite was satisfying, and I could not get enough. I'm so happy that curry makes great leftovers as I was able to save it and savor it later.Definitely recommend this wonderful neighborhood gem! Speaking of the neighborhood, it is super quaint and cute.I will be back to Naviya's when I am in the Minneapolis area again!

Spicy noodles were perfect (after adding a little of the chili sauce). Veggies were al dente and plenty of sauce. Server was personable and friendly and even gave our dog a little portion of chicken on our patio. New favorite place in Linden Hills

What a fantastic place! Absolutely delicious food, stunning presentation, fabulous service. Can't say enough. We'll go back again and again!Shared lettuce wraps and chicken pad Thai.PS they will accommodate any special food needs.

This place deserves all your money. They'll blow your taste buds outta this world their Pad Thai is yet to be rivaled by anyone in Minneapolis
