Just a short walk away from the
With soft, glowing windows, the simple and quiet exterior exudes a
comfortable and quiet atmosphere. Upon entering Tyrynda, I was
greeted by a friendly staff and promptly seated down at a table that gave me
view of the four other parties that were dining on a Friday night. It didn't take long for the owner to introduce himself, and he
checked in regularly with both myself and other guests in the restaurant
throughout our meal.
The accommodating attitudes of the staff are expressed
directly on the menu. Dishes can easily be customized to suit one's preference
for spice and any potential allergies that can arise from the complex and
diverse ingredients present.
The range of flavors and choices on the menu are pretty much what
one expects of a Thai restaurant; they consist of vegetarian or meat-heavy
entrées, soups laden with flavors like sweet cream of coconut and curry, and a
whole gamut of spiciness to be had. You will be hard pressed to find something that does not perk
your interest!
I regret that I passed up such delectable dishes as their Thai crepe or
Massaman curries, but I was lucky enough to be treated
to their dish known as "Tiger Cries" – a spicy, grilled beef and
garlic-seasoned vegetable dish.
The traditional Thai beef was absorbing and tender. While the carnivorous
side of the plate would not have sated my appetite alone, because it was in
tandem with a delectable assortment of mixed vegetables, I could not deny the
fact that this tasty, well-sized portion left me more than satisfied.
The good news is that Tyrynda is also easy on the pocket book, with meals
that come in right around the $13 dollar mark (their highest priced items top
out at about $20). They also offer delivery to Sleepy Hollow and
Of course visiting Tyrynda is also a treat. Without a doubt, it has some of
the most ornate, engaging decor in town. You might have trouble discovering
another Thai restaurant in the area that can provide such a calming and gentle
atmosphere.
The courteous employees only enhance the dining experience, and if you seek
an intimate, quiet and calm meal, Tyrynda restaurant is a sure bet that keeps
its customers coming back for more of its finely crafted cuisine.
