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.

    To start, the servers were really attentive, kind and responsive with body language. Upon arrival I was seated straight away and given good service. Ambience is lacking slightly for the prices you pay however the food is absolutely outstanding. Best Japanese I’ve had in a while.

    A popular restaurant, our 1st time as a family trying hotpot, where you have a hot broth in the middle of the table and order platters of meat & veg to cook in it. Very fun as a family activity and great place to bring picky teenagers. Staff checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed or if we wanted to order more. There is a strong smell of lamb throughout the restaurant that took 2 days to air out of my jacket, also the floor was wet by the end of the evening from the steam from all the hotpots, even though the staff was doing its best to mitigate, so take care when walking.
