Description
Massaman curry, Penang curry and a fiercely good Pad Thai put iRie ahead of the standard roadside dinner circuit. The mango sticky rice lands properly too, which matters more than it should after a week of sad, refrigerated versions.
The Irie Mega Salad is built for hungry herbivores, with feta as the sensible upgrade and house-baked brown bread on the side. Banana flower salad, Tom Yum, barracuda with garden salad, and mackerel fillet with wedges give the menu useful range beyond curry-and-rice autopilot.
Live bands turn the garden into one of Lanta’s proper evening hangs, especially on Monday nights. Reggae classics, chilled DJ sets and a bar full of people who stayed longer than planned – civilisation’s most reliable scheduling failure.
A small boutique beside the restaurant stocks jewellery, so dinner can accidentally acquire accessories. Food costs more than a bare-bones Thai shop, but the portions, cooking and music justify lingering over cocktails.
Highlights
- Strong vegetarian and vegan selection, including the Irie Mega Salad
- Live bands and DJ nights in a relaxed garden setting
- House-baked brown bread and standout mango sticky rice
- Live music evenings are louder than a quiet dinner spot
