The Write-Up
Lim Ros, meaning to taste in Thai, serves modern, northern leaning Thai cooking in an elegant, warm Maitland dining room. The khao soi and crying tiger steak draw steady devotion, and guests describe the flavors as matching the food they grew up eating in Thailand. A full gluten free and vegan menu widens the table, with butterfly pea tea lemonade to drink.
