Small, friendly Thai restaurant in Linden Hills

Restaurant, Coffee/Tea/Juice

Naviya's was established in the year 2004 in Gran Marais, MN. and has been providing outstanding Thai Food ever since. Of their our many specialties their highest priority is driven by the desire to ensure flavor by providing "A la' minute" (It's hot, it's in the window. it's ready to be served) food preparation. This brings a higher quality of fresh food to your table. To that end they cook everything fresh using hot oil with which to capture the vegetables' full flavors during the carmelization (or natural sugar) process. Additionally, they provide organic; beer, wines and small plantation biodynamic exotic and rare tea from around the globe.

Great Thai place that labels what is veg, vegan and GF. Mock duck is fab and the tofu is done correctly.

I was very impressed with Naviya's. I found out she uses no fish paste in any of her curries (meaning they are all at least vegetarian), which was a nice contrast to a lot of places I've gone. We had the tofu spring rolls, the Rama Thai with mock duck, and the Massaman curry with fried tofu. ALL SO GOOD. The tofu is done perfectly - nice and crispy, not soggy at all. The spring rolls tasted so fresh and flavorful and had a great peanut-cucumber sauce to go with them. The Rama Thai was deliciously peanut flavored, and even the mock duck was good (I don't usually like mock duck that much). The vegetables in both curries were perfectly done.

We will likely become regulars here!

UPDATE 7/27/11: Naviya's now labels their menu with whether things are vegan or not, as well as what can be vegan, and what is gluten free. I was told that some of the curries in the past did have shrimp paste, but they have now remedied that, and most (even Massaman) can be made without the shrimp paste. But you have to ask specifically on that dish. Some of the other curries are shrimp paste free naturally. I am glad they are now labeling the dishes!
