My sister was craving Thai food and we needed to go somewhere cheap and close by and Thai House was our ticket. The ambiance is non existent. It feels a bit like a food court, but tiny. (What is this? A food court for ANTS?) The service was prompt, polite and friendly. My sister and I both got lunch specials, the spicy chicken something or other and the garlic chicken respectively. Both dishes were ok, nothing too special. The saving grace is definitely the Thai iced teas and the hot and sour shrimp soup. So good! I love the burning sensation in the back of your throat when you drink something spicy and that's exactly what I got. The touch of lemongrass really completed the overall flavor. When my sister ordered her lunch, she asked for maximum spiciness. We were sadly, sadly disappointed. It wasn't even moderately hot. I was confused and thought that they might have messed up the order, but after cruising the other reviews here on Yelp, I guess this place doesn't really do spicy. I've had better Thai food, but if I wanted some tea and soup during my lunch break, I would go here.

Okay...we are huge foodies, so maybe our bar is set a little high? We truly liked the atmosphere, the staff was super nice, and they have a good variety of drinks to choose from. Our appetizer salads were AWESOME...I had the wedge and my husband had the spinach. And the sweet potato fries were incredible. But seriously....if you are going to be a "burger bistro"....shouldn't you have absolutely KILLER burgers? (aka. Zinburger @ Biltmore) I should have known when none of the burgers were really jumping off of the menu at either one of us. We settled on the Buffalo and the Kobe. The buffalo burger was boring, definitely underseasoned (ever heard of salt?), and the buns - where they were super soft and fresh - had a heavy taste of butter...I mean to the point of leaving a film on your tongue. The kobe beef was delicious, seasoned well, but overcooked (I ordered medium-rare and got medium-well)...so the burger itself was boring. It has asparagus and blue cheese...and, coming from a person that loves cheese, it is the lightest blue cheese ever...no punch at all, so relatively bland in flavor for this burger as well. My husband even went so far as to say that he only had 2 good bites on his whole burger. We are total burger lovers so we just weren't impressed. Maybe we could try the "build it yourself" menu next time, but we were really hoping for some really good, imaginative burgers from the chef. :(

This place is amazing and anyone who isn't giving it 5 stars is crazy. My husband and I just moved to Brookline from NYC and when we discovered this place I felt like I struck gold. The pita is incredible...like the freshest most delicious pita I have ever had. The baba ghanoush is fantastic and smokey...omg. I could eat that every day. I had the spinach pie with feta cheese and it was yummy. My husband liked his gyro, but next time will ask for a little more sauce. Pitaland is super clean, the employees are friendly and the food is the real deal. I plan on making it one of my regular stops.
