About Iyara Thai Restaurant

Broadbeach diners head here for rich, traditional Thai banquets delivered with old-school white-tablecloth hospitality. Guests are seated with serviettes laid neatly across laps, glasses topped up with fresh fruit-infused water, and tables quickly stacked with generous platters of slow-simmered beef massaman and pad see ew. The kitchen comfortably balances spice heat and dietary needs across the table, allowing groups to share freely alongside BYO bottles. Nights wind down over an unexpected house tradition—chilled complimentary shots of butterscotch schnapps.

  • High-Touch Table Service: Servers drape cloth serviettes on guest laps and continuously refresh glasses of fruit-infused water throughout the meal.
  • Complimentary Schnapps: Dinners conclude on the house with chilled pours of sweet butterscotch schnapps.
  • BYO & Dietary Ease: Clear dietary indicators make it straightforward to coordinate gluten-free, vegetarian, and bespoke spice levels.

  • Clear Dietary Labeling and BYO Flexibility

    Menus clearly demarcate gluten-free, vegan, and heat customization, supported by accommodating service and casual BYO flexibility.

    They catered very well to gluten free and vegetarian, with a clear menu highlighting what is suitable. BYO as well makes this a great option.
