In the Royal Lancaster Hotel, the Nipa Thai restaurant has been named after the original Nipa Restaurant in the Landmark Hotel in Bangkok. Lots of teak panelling, traditional Thai furnishings and artefacts lend an authentic air. All the staff dressed in traditional Thai costume are from Thailand - even the lady chefs. This authentic Thai restaurant is one of the first 15 recipients of the 'Thai Select' award - this award has been described as being the first ever Michelin-style award for Thai restaurants proven to be performing to the highest standards of quality and cuisine, and is awarded by the Thai Government. We think this award sums up Nipa Thai rather nicely. What's cooking? Kai Haw Bai Toey - deep fried marinated chicken in pandanus leaves, Kaeng Kiew Warn Kai - chicken in green curry soup, also recommended the Nipa platter - a selection of the chef's special Thai starters.

    The welcome from their staff was warm and inviting. The food was delectable. We sampled new things on the menu. We would not normally have done soap. Everything was delicious. The lychee martini was not to be missed!!

    Nipa Thai ticks all the boxes for the perfect Thai restaurant from the warm greeting on arrival to all levels of table service - we had a very knowledgeable sommelier and of course the restaurant itself - it feels as if you are in Bangkok. Noy always makes us feel special and Kasim is the epitome of professionalism - and a lovely chap😊 As for the special menu Sanguan, the Head Chef, prepared every dish was exquisite - which they always are.

    I recently visited Nipa Thai and had a great experience overall. The food was exceptionally good, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The ambience of the restaurant was also fantastic—inviting and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed meal. However, the pricing was on the higher side, so it may not be the most budget-friendly option. That being said, the service was excellent—attentive and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it for those looking to indulge in a great dining experience!
