   First visit to Nipa Thai – and it won’t be the last. The restaurant is tucked away on the first floor of the Royal Lancaster London Hotel. You enter through the elegant marble foyer, head up the stairs, and turn right. It sets the tone beautifully. We were greeted warmly by the manager and shown to a window table overlooking Hyde Park. Our 18:30 reservation meant the restaurant was still quiet, with only one other table occupied, a perfect start. The menu is broad but not overwhelming. I chose the chicken and coconut soup, chicken stir-fry, and mango sorbet for dessert. Every dish was exceptional, the best Thai food I’ve had anywhere. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The team clearly know what they’re doing and let the food speak for itself. The whole experience reflects the setting, refined, calm, and just the right side of luxurious. Excellent food, excellent staff. I’ll definitely be back, and would highly recommend you book a table too.

   Nipa Thai is unquestionably the best Thai restaurant this side on Bangkok imho… it ticks all the boxes from the amazing chef Sanguan and her team to front of house Kaseam who quietly manages his team of professionals- and the new carpet is a joy to walk over 😄

   It is absolutely a hidden gem for Thai food in London. Not many people know it serves lunch on Saturdays. I ordered the lunch menu for two at the price of £30. The portion is all right. We enjoy four dishes: prawn dumplings, steamed seabass fillet, prawns in chill and basil and stir-fried mixed vegetables, plus jasmine rice. I think it serves as a value-for-money tasting menu. The service was excellent; it is definitely a five-star hotel standard. The waiter handed in the plates with a tea towel, not even directly touching the plate. The environment was also flawless. Everything was so clean and clear. The carpet was very soft and comfy.

   This really is a hidden gem inside one of London’s big hotels. Last night it was particularly busy in there, so a little bit noisy but quite manageable. The service was up to its usual high standard the food was delicious. A little pricey, but I guess that that’s what happens when you eat in the hotel restaurant.

   Sehr empfehlenswert und die vielen positiven Beurteilungen sind absulut zutreffend. Grosse Portionen, sodass eine Beilage für 2 Peronen reicht.

    We had the most wonderful evening at Nipa Thai. Beautiful restaurant, exceptionally friendly, polite and professional staff. The food was exquisitely presented and delicious! Generous portion sizes and staff happy to advise and answer any questions. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back there ourselves. Thank you so much.
