Ekkalak Thai Cuisine - Avon

I initially thought of giving this restaurant 3 stars, but as I enjoyed my meal, the spices and aromas started to impress me. My only issue was that the dishes were a bit too sweet for my taste. Having been to Thailand several times, I found that the food there isn't as sweet. It seems like it might have been adjusted for the American palate, but I was hoping for something a bit more authentic.

Authentic Thai food with a serene atmosphere and wonderful ambiance. The staff is friendly, making it an excellent Thai restaurant overall. I would rank it among the top five Thai restaurants in the Hartford Metro area. I've visited several times and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Great and friendly service. Excellent tom kha soup, pretty good pad thai. Not to the sauce they used, but still pretty good.

The food was so good, I just had to write a review! I sat down and had lunch and ordered a bubble tea and the Pangang Curry with chicken from the lunch menu. I LOVE Curry and prefer it as hot as possible. For less than $15 I had a wonderful lunch in a quiet, quiet environment. Thank you.

In my opinion, Ekkalak has some of the best Thai food you’ll find anywhere. I’ve tried Thai places all over, and this spot is one of my favorite restaurants, period. It’s a family operation that’s run by really nice people, and you can tell that they pride themselves on always using high quality ingredients and serving delicious, beautiful food, especially when you go for the house specialties. I used to live down the street and order takeout a few times a month, and now I’ve moved away but always stop by whenever I’m back in town. They do a great takeout operation, and if you want to eat there I recommend going on a nice day where you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the ridge with Heublein tower. My favorites include all of their Thai curries, the Thai salads, and any of their noodle dishes.
