"I think most New Yorkers have some affection for their local Thai takeout place, even if it serves the same dishes as any other. But Boran, my closest Thai takeout in Carroll Gardens, does so much more, making it well worth the trip for dine-in visits, too. The menu is extensive and includes a long list of curries, fish dishes, and other regional specialties, like the miang pla too appetizer, which consists of bite-sized pieces of mackerel in a lettuce wrap with rice noodles, red onion, ginger, and lemongrass alongside a dipping sauce (available only for dining in). And although calling Boran a Thai takeout is really doing a disservice to this far-ranging Thai restaurant, it’s worth noting that those takeout staples, like the massaman curry which comes with flaky roti, are excellent." - Eater Staff
