Thai Discovery in Roslindale, MA! We were looking for an open restaurant on Christmas for a sit-down meal. After calling three or four Chinese places and getting busy signals, we stumbled upon Rutchada, a newly- opened Thai place in Roslindale. (Bless them for opening during a pandemic - and on Christmas!) Made an online res via Yelp, and 90 minutes later we were walking in, literally with the place to ourselves. It looked nice; small, cozy, clean and just a little funky (church pews for seats). What a pleasant surprise we were in for! Everything on the menu looked great, with each dish beautifully presented in the photos. I actually said, "It's not going to really look like that." Boy was I wrong! Not only was everything artfully plated, it was absolutely delicious, as well. We had the vegetable fresh rolls, which came with a perfect plum sauce, pineapple fried rice, fried tofu, and Jungle Curry with eggplant. Everything was as close to perfect as you can get. Siri, the owner and boss, is proud and deservedly so. We talked with her about how hard it must be to open a new place during COVID, but mostly we gushed to her about how good the food is. She is delightful. Another thing she is proud of is the photos, which are 100% real and authentic. It was I first time there, but it definitely won't be the last! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
