🌿 Exciting News from Karan Thai Family 🌿

To all of our wonderful customers,

We have some exciting news to share with you! 💓💛

Just a few months ago, Karan Thai Kitchen began as a small food truck with a simple dream: to share authentic Thai home-style food with our local community. Thanks to your incredible support, encouragement, and loyalty, we are now ready to take the next step in our journey.

🏡 We are delighted to announce that Karan Thai Eatery will officially open its doors on:

📍 11 Queen Street, Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt
🗓 Thursday, 2 July 2026
⏰ 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Karan Thai Eatery will be a small and cosy home-style restaurant, created with the same love, care, and passion that you have come to know from Karan Thai Kitchen. Our goal remains the same — to serve delicious, freshly prepared Thai food that feels comforting, authentic, and made with heart.

Our new eatery will also become the central kitchen for Karan Thai Kitchen, where we will continue preparing our authentic Thai home-style meals for our beloved food truck customers. This means you will still be able to enjoy your favourite Karan Thai dishes from both our restaurant and our food truck.

This new chapter is a dream come true for our family. What started as a small food truck has grown into something we never imagined possible, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Every order, every kind word, every recommendation, and every visit has helped us reach this milestone. Your support means more to us than words can express.

As we begin this exciting new journey, we promise to continue serving food that is fresh, delicious, and made with quality ingredients, while providing the warm and genuine hospitality that is at the heart of everything we do.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in us and supporting our small family business. We hope you will continue this journey with us, and we look forward to welcoming you to our new little home.

Please follow our new page, Karan Thai Eatery, for updates, special announcements, and a behind-the-scenes look at our journey.

With love and gratitude,

Karan Thai Family 🇹🇭🙏🏻
