Ambiance, staff, drinks, and vegan food ALL on point. One of the few places we went to multiple times in our trip to St.Martin because they accommodate for vegans. We highly highly recommend the pineapple fried rice with fried tofu, and the red curry- i suggest you skip the soft tofu in this (its an extra $5 cost, and not worth it Imo). Also recommend the Tom Yum soup, again skip out on the soft tofu here and just get the normal. Also recommend medium spice or above for real flavor! Absolutely will suggest this place for my vegans traveling here. The lychee margarita was absolutely amazing it tasted like a sorbet dessert! The staff were so sweet and talkative/ accommodating.

We were able to walk in and get a table for 5. Ordered PadThai, Thai basil fried rice and Thai basil stir fry. Also enjoyed the appetizer platter which had chicken satay, jumbo coconut shrimp, spring rolls and what tasted like mini crab rangoons. Excellent flavors in all. Cocktails were served in a large size glass and yummy. Excellent service.
What a great place and a great find too! Staff were amazing, food was good too. Chicken Satay was massive and I helped my friend out with a couple, along with the soup! I had the Jungle curry which was awesome

Jungle Curry with Chicken
Food was pretty good, flavors were close to authentic as it gets. We had the fresh spring rolls, Thai salad with tofu and peanut sauce and jungle curry with tofu. Lots of vegetarian options to choose from as well.
Only concern was service was slow although we were honestly lucky to get a table for 2. Highly recommend reserving ahead of time, or showing up before 6:45pm!

Update
Management responded and I need correct their response. First Geraldine was our main server not Chris .
Second they claim they just cut mangoes and serve. Any average Thai restaurant will always test mangoes and inform guests if they are not ripe and offer an alternative such as ice cream. I suggest Avantika could and should do the same and not just blame the mango
Avantika was built up as the best Thai restaurant on the island. We had visited years past so wanted to have dinner there on our Anniversary.
Good location and if the elevator works (broke down while we were there) better than climbing up and down the stairs.
Not very crowded and we were allowed to choose our seats. Geraldine our server seemed disinterested at first but when I mentioned how nice and polite her colleague Chris was, there was a pleasant attitude change.
WE ordered jumbo coconut shrimp for appetizer (very good) and for main course fried basil rice vegie (very average) and Penang curry with chicken and shrimp (good). For dessert mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream (mango was clearly not in season)
Decent but not thrilling visit

This is one of a few places we must go to on every trip to the island. The food is phenomenal, very reasonably priced and they have great service. This Thai food is far better than most places we have tried in the States, go out of your way to stop here!

This is my 4th time to St. Maarten. I just love this island. The people are friendly, the drinks are good and the food is delicious. Last two times I have been here I kept saying I have to try Avantika. So I finally came on a Wednesday at about 7pm. No reservation but we were seated right away. I was definitely NOT disappointed. The ambiance is so relaxing, the service is very attentive., the drinks were yummy and the food...... was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend.
