Notes on the Jungle Curry: it's a soup. They're really gonna make a soup and call it "curry" because it has the same spices. It's completely different from the gravy curries. Why then does it share the name? I wouldn't make a cake and call it a pie just because they're both round and have sugar in them.Vegetarian options: Also vegan options

The food here is so delicious! I love the Pad Thai and cream cheese wontons. I try to explore the menu a bit but can't help but order those almost every time. Super friendly staff and owner as well!

My recent vegan Thai date at Aroy Thai Garden in Middletown CT with TJ, Lilly, and Clara was an absolute delight! From flavorful curries to aromatic stir-fries, every dish was a culinary masterpiece. The extensive vegan options made it easy for everyone to find something they loved. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend Aroy Thai Garden CT for anyone craving delicious vegan Thai cuisine in a cozy atmosphere!-Marisa Balletti-Lavoie

Great place for Thai food, and bonus stars for being a vegan spot. Loved the warm welcome, and accommodating attitude of the hosting staff, the services seemed a little slower than usual, but definitely worth waiting for the good food.Dietary restrictions: Vegan place!

Ive been wanting to try this place for a very long time even made a special trip to Middletown for it. As a long time vegan im trying to wrap my head around how our dishes had literally no sauce for the huge mound of dry sticky white rice! Not even soy sauce was provided. Lukewarm to cold at best with about 15 mini candied balls of "duck & chicken" & dry cold undercooked broccoli. It didn't take long for the food to come out so why wasn't it hot? Not even warm. Literally room temperature.I dont get it. It pains me to write anything negative about a vegan place but it was inedible. Waiter didn't seem to care at all that we didnt eat it. Sauces for appetizers were 100% sweet based syrup.The cream cheese wontons were delicious and the fresh cracked mini- coconut beautiful and amazing.I'm not a fan of the menu AI based so requires a phone & hard to read small print. No drink menu! Waiter didn't ask me if i wanted anything to drink till after I was served the meal and then rattled off a general overview that I coudlnt understand.

First time coming in, have been searching high and low for quality rich, flavorful vegan fare. The vibe of the space is cozy, and relaxed. Steven was amazing, always there before you knew you needed something. I’ve seen his hustle and I respect the patience and passion behind his service and experience. Will be going back indefinitely ??????

This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants. Everything is so delicious and there’s so much to choose from! Customer service is always the best. I can come here with friends or with my children because it’s also family-friendly and that’s super important to me. Keep up the great work! 5 stars!

The food is amazing, the coconut cake is from another world it’s so good. (You need a very specific taste for the soups)
This is an all vegan restaurant. One of the best vegan restaurants in CT. I eat at this restaurant at least twice a week. Rather you're a vegan or not you'll enjoy the food.

I got takeout lunch here, been dying to try it for awhile but I live an hour away and was waiting until I had to travel to Middletown. Wow! Really delicious fresh food. You can tell it’s made with love. I tend to eat mostly vegan but I am not fully, and anyone vegan or non vegan would enjoy this food greatly. The crab rangoons are better than real crab rangoons. I ate those on my long drive home and they were AMAZING. I loved the texture and the sauce, it was absolutely wonderful. The pad thai with tofu is nice and peanutty, I loved all the crushed peanut on top and the fresh bean sprouts, it was flavorful and just perfect on a raw day like today. Not greasy and I will get 2 meals out of it. And the mango sticky rice unbelievably delish. I cant actually believe this is all vegan. Amazing job team! Also very very generous servings. I cant wait for my next trip to Middletown!

Best THAI outside of Thailand. Best Thai. Doesn't matter that it's vegan. I'm not vegan. Khao soi is where it's at with the vegan duck. Crab Rangoon so delicious. Won best Thai in the state for a reason.

I'm a huge fan of Thai food - it's one of my favorite cuisines - but when I went vegan it became a lot more difficult to order my favorite foods. I was so excited to try this place after seeing lots of hype about it online. Let me tell you, it lived up to all the hype, and then some! My husband and I stopped in for takeout this weekend on our way to New Haven. We had heard a lot about the crab Rangoon so we ordered that as one of the appetizers. I haven't had crab Rangoon in over 20 years, and this stuff was INCREDIBLE! Tasted exactly like I remember it tasting, creamy, crunchy, and came with a delicious dipping sauce. I think this was my favorite dish and I'll definitely be ordering this every time I visit! We also got the crispy pork belly appetizer. I only got this because everyone was raving about how good it was, but I honestly didn't think I'd like it much because I never liked meat, even before going vegan. It turned out to be delicious! Somehow both super crispy and soft and chewy at the same time. It was a huge serving too! We also ordered the roti because it was my all time favorite before going vegan. Tasting it brought back so many good memories! It was chewy and flaky and came with a delicious curry dipping sauce. This will be a regular order for sure! Now on to the main course! I ordered the pad Thai because I can never get that vegan anywhere, and my husband ordered the pineapple fried rice, which is his favorite Thai dish. Both dishes were huge and gave us enough food for at least one other meal! My pad Thai came with tons of marinated fried tofu because I'm obsessed with tofu, but there's a huge selection of vegan meats to choose from like chicken, shrimp, duck, and beef (there are even more than that, this is just what I remember off the top of my head). My husband gets pineapple fried rice wherever we order Thai and he said that this was one of the best he's had. Finally, for dessert, I got the mango sticky rice. The mangos came super thinly sliced and beautifully arranged in a small rosette. I'd never had it prepared this way before and it was delicious! I wish I'd taken photos of everything, but it was dark out by the time we got to the area. Next time I'll take some and add them here! Middletown is a hike for me, and there are a ton of Thai places close to where I live, but this is the best I've ever had and I'll definitely be going back here as often as I can! Aroy Thai Garden, I wish you continued success so you can keep serving this amazing food! Thank you for making my taste buds happy!
