Thai food has some of my favorite flavors. I am always looking for a new place to get my fix and have even traveled to Thailand. I thought Leelavadee was fantastic. I've been several times now. I live in midtown (4 min from a much pricier Thai restaurant on Peabody), and I am happy to make the drive to this place.
I was a little nervous about avocados in the green curry, but OMIGOSH it's so perfect. The green curry with chicken is my favorite dish here. Even the chicken, itself, is really good. I often find meat in a curry to the weak link...not this.
The panaang sauce is great. Love it on the dumplings.
I ordered the calamari on our server's recommendation, and now I'm hooked. There's some extra spice in the breading that makes it a cut above the rest.
Tofu is good--it's not fried. You do have to pick between tofu and "veggies." I'm sure they would make you a dish with both, but be sure to specify.
The Southern Pecan beer is almost worth the drive, all by itself. :-)
I hope you enjoy your visit!
love this place
