Grata Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in New York

Ordered here for the first time and was very excited based on the great reviews. We placed an order for pad thai & pad see ew over the phone. They made us give our card number over the phone instead of paying in person and they said they wouldn’t start cooking our food until we pay over the phone. When we went to pick up the food, we didn’t realize until we got home that the restaurant accidentally gave us 2 pad Thais. Normally we don’t care and we just deal with the mistake but my husband has a severe peanut allergy so he couldn’t have the pad thai. The 1 star I’m giving this place is not because they messed up our order (it happens and we understand that!) but it’s the way worker went about it. She tried to make us feel like we were lying saying that we did order 2 pad thais and that we “waited until we got home to change our mind”. We again explained to her that there is a peanut allergy. She then tried to make us feel guilty by telling us that she had to make a new dish and she had to “pay for the new dish herself” and she only makes 100 dollars a day. Just so rude & unprofessional. I ate the pad thai and it was alright, definitely not the best though, regardless I will never...

The dishes were all presented with a lovely presentation too! Roti with massaman curry (5/5): The roti was out of this world—very crunchy and great on its own. The massaman was delicious but my only suggestion was that the curry was too thin for it to be accompanied with the roti. We used the leftovers and dumped into rice, which was perfect. Pad Pred Normai (5/5): The dish was heavily portioned with bamboo shoots, peppers, and plentiful of seasoning. It was spicy, as spice lovers, neither of us found it too spicy! Duck with Sweet Basil Sauce (4/5): I really liked the sauce but it was a bit too salty. The duck and the sauce flavors reminded me of other Chinese food dishes. Everything was food with lots of flavor. The duck was juicy, skin was crunchy, and the taste was...
