Roma Thai & Burmese Cuisine — Restaurant in Town of Amherst

If you live in WNY and you are in the mood for authentic Thai flavors, you need to visit Roma! Wow. Take me to flavor town lol. I’m Australian and since arriving here I have been craving Thai food, with all of its depth of flavors and this lived up to my VERY high expectations! A very cute and unassuming restaurant with friendly staff which always is a nice surprise, since it’s become rare for attentive AND friendly people to work in service. Now this is your warning on the spice levels. Thai chilies definitely get those taste buds dancing, so if you’re not used to this cuisine start at mild and work your way up. I listened to all the reviews and ordered the Pad Kee Mow and let me tell you, I am not even a fan of flat noodles but this blew me away! A must try. The Green Curry in medium was perfectly fragrant with a beautiful depth that almost made me cry lol. The Papaya salad is crazy, spicy hot. I would recommend having this salad without spice to act as a palate cleanser. The Samosas had such a gorgeous filling, perfect when you are wanting to explore items outside of spring rolls. Thai Fried rice was delicious and full of flavor and not greasy at all. This is what was so impressive, everything was clean and flavor forward not dripping in grease which seems to be the norm here. We are still talking about our experience since Sunday, and planning our next order for next time...

Wow wow wow! The service here is so good. The waiter was super sweet and gave us recommendations. He even gave us a free appetizer and dessert because it was our first time dining there. The appetizer was their homemade samosas. Now I don't usually love samosas because I find them to be greasy/heavy but these were absolutely delightful and somehow light despite still being a fried food. The flavor was delicate and complex. I ordered the yellow curry, medium, with shrimp. It was a very generous portion and totally delicious! My partner ordered the Burmese curry with chicken and it was also very very good. An unexpectedly bright and tomato forward curry. While we were eating they brought us water with lemon, totally unprompted because they knew our food was spicy and we'd want more to drink. As we were about to leave they brought out a banana and ice cream dessert. It was super good! The restaurant was very clean, the staff were very personable and sweet. The food rocked. The prices have definitely gone up since people were posting about them here. But I wouldn't call them outrageous by any means. They're pretty standard for Thai restaurants. We also were given some coupons for the next time we come. We're from out of town but we definitely plan to come back and will absolutely come here again for a meal. There's so much on the menu...

My wife and I were in the neighborhood for a meeting, after which we began looking for a Thai restaurant and found this gem. We arrived at an off-time, so the restaurant wasn't busy, and we were seated immediately by who I assume was the owner. After reviewing the menu, I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken (medium spicy), and my wife ordered the Panang Curry with tofu, also medium spicy. I also noticed that the menu offered a good selection of Asian beers. The owner served us and was very patient in answering any questions we had about ingredients, etc. He kindly brought out two samosas for us to try with dipping sauce, and they were delicious--flaky and warm. The soups that came with our orders were also hot, flavorful, and full of veggies and mushrooms. The main dishes arrived, and both the pad Thai and curry looked wonderful. The kitchen was spot-on with the spiciness. Both dishes were excellent and we enjoyed them. The owner then kindly brought out a dessert for two that, like the samosas, we hadn't ordered. How wonderful. While we live some distance away and were in the neighborhood for an entirely different purpose, we plan on returning to this restaurant soon. Highly...
