"What a great find. We needed some late night (11pm) eats after a concert and we discovered Merai. Instead of settling for a slice of pizza, we ended up with one of the best meals. We had grilled hamachi collar with a lovely spicy tamarind/garlic dusting, the chicken rice (chicken wings stuffed with garlic fried rice and double fried), a kale salad with a spicy sweet pistachio dressing and roasted pumpkin, and their hot dog - decadently served on a brioche bun, salted yolk topping. We could have easily eaten our way through the whole menu. The cocktail menu was beyond. If you want an incredibly tasty and innovative Thai meal, come here."

"Absolutely one the best dining experiences I've had in Boston. Every dish was so unique flavorful and cooked to perfection. Truly a perfect meal with amazing cocktails to go with it. Can't hype this place up enough. Absolutely loved it. Would go into detail about each dish but each one was amazing. Only weird thing was the dessert, dessert was really bad, but honestly couldn't care less thats how good everything else was."

"I’m giving Merai, a full 5 stars. The service here is excellent — attentive, friendly, and professional, making the dining experience very enjoyable. The cocktails are well-crafted, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For those seeking vegetarian options, the menu offers delicious choices that are thoughtfully prepared. Overall, Merai combines great food, drinks, and service, making it a standout spot in Brookline. Highly recommended!"

"Cool vibe but noisy here. Food was nicely presented, tasty, fresh ingredients. My favorite was crab croquettes. Portions are small so order several to share."

"The food and service here were exceptional!! Celebrated mine and my partners birthdays here. We ordered the tom kha mushroom risotto which CHANGED MY LIFE! I had the tomklong chazuke which was soo delicious and comforting. My partner had the buffalo wings and liked them! We ended the night with the Thai tea tiramisu which was perfect. Not to mention the service was so attentive and kind. An amazing night and can’t wait to go back!!!"
