Best Thai Restaurants In Edinburgh

Providing the most beautiful views of all our picks, Chaophraya is a trendy rooftop venue in the New Town that overlooks Edinburgh Castle and the Firth of Forth. The interiors are just as gorgeous, with touches of gold throughout.

This site has been around since 2004, inspired by founder Kim's upbringing in Khiri Mat and her travels through Bangkok. Get stuck into an extensive menu of traditional dishes here, ranging from an award-winning pork belly pad Thai to coconut milk and lemongrass soup or chicken green curry.

On the hunt for traditional Thai restaurants in Edinburgh city centre? Then give Ting Thai a go, with venues on Lothian Road and Teviot Place. You'll find exposed brick walls, quirky neon fixtures on the walls and a menu of authentic street food-style meals here, popular among locals and tourists alike.

First firing up their woks at the Fringe Festival in 2012, the menu here has come a long way. They've got extensive offerings for both lunch and dinner, with stand-out dishes including slow-cooked pork loin with jasmine rice, tofu yellow curry and wok-fried flat noodles with chicken or vegetables.

Dusit has been a favourite in the New Town since 2002, when it was opened by founder Pom and his team. They've built up a strong reputation since then, even recommended by Pete Irvine in his Scotland The Best book. This sophisticated spot is decked out in stylish purple decor, with trendy artwork lining the walls.

The menu is equally as enticing, whether you're dining a la carte or taking advantage of the two-course lunch menu for just £17.95, available before 3pm every day. Tuck into lamb shank massaman curry, seabass and cashew stir-fry or tofu steak with homemade satay sauce from their huge offering.

Nok's Kitchen can be found in Stockbridge, founded by owner Nok and a team of talented chefs. This popular spot opened in 2016 and shortly after they created a second Thai restaurant in Edinburgh Old Town, following the success of their first.

The Stockbridge venue is found inside a Georgian townhouse, which contrasts with its simple, modern interiors. They offer a diverse selection of Thai dishes made with fresh ingredients, from seabass in a green curry sauce to vegetable pad Thai - available on a la carte and set lunch or dinner menus.

For some of the tastiest fusion fare around, make your way to Shamoli Restaurant on the Edinburgh Royal Mile. This unique haunt combines Thai fare with North Indian cuisine, creating a delicious blend you won't find anywhere else.

Take a seat in their colourful venue to enjoy a wide range of dishes - we're talking chicken massaman curry, mixed vegetable stir-fries and king prawns cooked in red chilli paste.
