Talay - Staten Island

I am so happy to have this delicious, veggie-friendly restaurant in the neighborhood! I've been meaning to try this place for weeks and finally took the plunge. We ordered four different lunch specials as takeout: Pad Ki Mow (drunken noodles) with Tofu and side of spring rolls, Green Curry with Tofu and side of Vegetable Tom Yum Soup, Eggplant with Basil Sauce with Tofu and side of spring rolls, and Cashew Sauce with Tofu and side of spring rolls. The food was still steaming hot when we arrived home, and each of the dishes were brimming with complex flavors, fresh ingredients, unique flavors and spices like lemongrass and Thai basil. I really couldn't believe the food was so good: I literally had to keep pinching myself! The staff is very polite, courteous, and considerate. When we placed our order, they asked us if we wanted egg or not in our dishes when they saw we ordered vegetarian options. I cannot wait to go back and try more of their dishes! Highly recommended.

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! My family (including kids and grandparents) had just crossed the Staten Island ferry and were hungry so we decided to try this place, which was just across a couple streets from the ferry terminal on Staten Island. I have 2 children who need to eat gluten free due to Celiac disease. We came in the afternoon and they were serving the lunch menu, which was a great price, and at least two of their options were gluten free. The host helped us choose our perfect meals, which were served quickly after ordering. We were able to all sit together at a big table since we were almost the only ones there at the time. The portions were just what we needed for our biggest meal that day and SO delicious!! We all agreed that this was probably the best Thai food we had ever eaten. If we ever visit again this will be on our list of places to eat.

Absolutely loved my experience here. Great vegan options!

Can only leave a 4-star rating because it is not completely vegan or vegetarian. everything I had was fresh and everything was well prepared. I'll back up this business. updated by previous review on 2021-09-16

I can't expect to go back and try more of their gear! highly recommended.
