About Ari Thai Kitchen & Bar

Upstairs at The Kitchens in Robina, Ari Thai Kitchen & Bar turns out sharp Bangkok heat and generous comfort classics. Regulars gravitate toward the cosy inner booths for midday lunch sets or unhurried dinners, washing down rich red curries with a tart kaffir lime margarita. Wok smoke marks plates of beef pad see ew, while shareable hot pots of tom yum balance citrus sourness against chili warmth. Platters of crispy moo grob come flanked by warm coconut rice alongside fresh green paw paw salad.

  • Flexible Mall Layout: Private booths inside and perimeter tables upstairs in The Kitchens precinct handle mid-shopping lunches and group gatherings alike.
  • Dedicated Cocktail Bar: Spirited concoctions like kaffir lime margaritas and mango mojitos provide refreshing contrast to fiery stir-fries and curries.
  • Midday Specials: Portion-packed lunch sets make midday dining swift and cost-effective for shoppers and area workers.

  • Effortless Large-Group Gatherings

    Large parties of up to twenty or more receive attentive coordination, ensuring shared meals are served smoothly together.

    We have a big group of 20 or more and they seem to organise it really well. So we all eat around the same time.

  • Accommodating Event Hosting

    Celebrations and party bookings are supported with patient planning, flexible seating arrangements, and tailored dietary advice.

    They were helpful from the start with planning my booking, patient with all my questions about vegan options, where were would sit etc.

  • Signature Cocktails and Bar Program

    An expansive craft beverage list features specialty creations like mango mojitos and kaffir lime margaritas crafted to complement Thai flavors.

    A really great drinks / cocktail menu too. The mango mojito was a hit with us.

  • Distinct Indoor Booth and Outer Seating

    Diners can choose between semi-private booth seating indoors or relaxed open dining upstairs at The Kitchens.

    I especially liked the booth seating, though those do fill up quickly, so I recommend booking if you want one.

Authentic Thai mains and classic kitchen specialties

  • Pad Thai

    The Pad Thai was spot on — the sauce was flavourful, and the noodles had that perfect chewy texture.

  • Hip hop hooray

    If you’re a fan of a creamy mango yoghurt drink I also recommend the “hip hop hooray” I always get it no matter what I order, just a nice refreshing but sweet drink to have.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitality, personal adjustments, and attentive hosting that elevate every visit.

  • Direct Kitchen Intervention for Heat Level

    When a diner found their noodles too fiery to eat, the server alerted the kitchen and the chef personally came to the table with eggs to temper the heat, checking back to ensure the dish was manageable.

  • Kid-Friendly Tableware & Care

    Families dining with young children receive child-friendly plastic plates, cups, and cutlery brought straight to the table alongside dedicated kids' meal options.

  • Dedicated Large-Party Banquet Coordination

    For celebrations with parties of 19 to 20 or more, the staff coordinate planning in advance—answering dietary questions, reserving dedicated seating, and timing delivery so everyone eats together.

  • Personal Recognition & Dedicated Floor Attentiveness

    Regular guests are greeted and remembered by name across visits, paired with prompt floor service and a dedicated drink waiter on hand for group tables.
