I have been dinning at this place since I first discovered it late last year. Recently moving due to the military, I was quite happy with my discovery of Ala Thai in Montgomery AL.
I had been wanting to introduce this place to a friend of mine. Finally I was able to bring her, along with her family.
She inquired with our waitress whether they had alcohol. Our waitress said they did not have a liquor license. We then inquired a second time when we noticed a table across the way being served alcoholic beverages. This time, it was a second waitress serving on us, that told us she would have to get back to us. She left and about a minute later, she came back and told us, "No, no alcohol". We pointed out the other customers being severed, and she quickly walked away. Finally, a person working there that had not been serving us, came up to our table and asked us what he could help us with.
I decided to confront the supervisor (our first waitress), who told us they did not have a liquor license. I told her exactly how I felt about our service, and being lied to.
She then said that they did not have a liquor license, and drinks were complimentary.
You need a liquor license to serve alcohol whether it's complimentary or not. It was clearly discrimination and the disrespect that followed it was astounding.
Outstanding! I've been a patron since they first opened in 1998/1999. I love their selection and service. It is nicer now that they've moved to updated location on Ann Street.
This is the original of the three Ala Thai restaraunts. It's hours have been reduced but it's still one of the best bets for good Thai food in Montgomery. As an alternative, head to the new Ala Thai on Atlanta Highway. However, stay away from the Ala Thai off of Ann Street next to the Wal Mart. After being grossly overcharged in three consecutive visits, I no longer patronize that location. For an example, a large bowl of tom yum came with a $12 price tag or twice the cost of the other two locations.

It should be the same at all locations. As far as I know.
