Cilantro Thai Express — Restaurant in Cleveland Heights

Really enjoyed my meal at Cilantro Thai. I did a carryout order of the Massaman curry and the dry rub zap wings, extra crispy.

The massaman curry has potatoes, carrots, white onion, and peanuts in a creamy rich yellow curry sauce. It comes with a side of rice for about $17. It’s a generous portion with a full container of curry, and an additional side container of the white rice. I would definitely order this again!

I assume they had to leave out the soy sauce on my gf dishes, so I did pop on some gf tamari before eating for extra flavor. A little pricier than our other go-to Thai place in Cleveland Heights but will definitely be a...

OK, let’s just start with the fact that I am a Karen. The fact that I am leaving this gleaming review is a testament to the true nature of my comments to follow. Not only did I call them the first night I ordered and got home and opened my boxes and tried the food. I called back to tell them personally that this food was exceptional. It was delicious. It was fresh. It made me Absolutely Happy. The portion size matched the price. The vegetables were on balance with the amount of meat. The taste was true Thai. This winter is going to be extra special just because this restaurant is in my neighborhood five minute Drive and the food is wonderful. Try it...
