Dusit Thai Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

Feel like home , sharing meal like Thai style Taste just like I ate in Bangkok , Krapao Kroog is spicy and so yum, Tod Mun Pla is delicious Will definitely be back

Probably one of the best Pad Thais I have ever eaten… The service is really excellent, the waitresses are very responsive and extremely pleasant. The atmosphere is very nice because the room is small, but a little noisy. Go for it if you want to eat quality Thai in Edinburgh!

The best service I've ever received. Food was delicious, staff were so kind and attentive, I've never had someone refill my water all night they even wiped the table in between courses. Food came out quickly, decent portions and probably underpriced for the quality of the food and service. I would have been happy to pay more for the experience and can't wait to go again.

Incredible food and outstanding service. An absolute must visit.

Too rushed. They won't leave you alone to relax. Felt really rushed. Not sure I would go back.

Fresh, authentic Thai food,served in an independent family run restaurant, its was excellent quality and value.

Visiting today for the first time. Food so fresh flavoursome and authentic Thai food. ABSOUTLY BRILLIANT TASTES OF ASIAN FOOD. Presentation absolutely beautiful. Staff so attentive to each tables needs. Will definitely be back and recommend a visit. Thanks ❤

Went here last night for a meal with family and it was absolutely perfect. Food was amazing, best Thai food I’ve had since visiting Thailand. Staff were friendly and service was efficient. Super accommodating for allergies. Will definitely be recommending to others and will be back in the future!! :)

Excellent Thai cuisine, very friendly & welcoming staff. Would thoroughly recommend this fantastic restaurant.

2nd visit and it was amazing. We had starters, 2 mains an 2 sides and were VERY full. Food was simply out of this world. So tasty and fresh ingredients. Staff great and well definitely be back on our next visit. If you go, book, it is supe busy, which says a lot.

Been coming for years this restaurant is family owned and the service and food is amazing never been disappointed In my opinion this is the best Thai restaurant in Edinburgh Can't wait until my next visit

Busy Restaurant, recommend booking. Staff really friendly. Scallops for starters were excellent. Spicy Stir fry very good the chicken with the cashew nuts was a bit dry, obviously pre-cooked. Prices are as expected for location. Enjoyed the Thai beer. Would go again.

Service was perfect, food was gorgeous, especially the duck and lamb

"View by Dustin" in Dubai is a gem for both the food and the stunning skyline views. Located on the 50th floor, it offers panoramic vistas of Dubai that are truly breathtaking, especially at sunset. The menu is a blend of creative dishes that combine high-quality ingredients with artistic presentation, and the staff is attentive and friendly. Perfect for a memorable dinner with an atmosphere that's both elegant and relaxed.

Food was brilliant, service was amazing, attentive and quick with every course. Great atmosphere, we were on a random Monday in November and they were really busy.

Excellent food and service! We love Thai cuisine and here is at its best! Came here twice on a 4 day trip to Edinburgh! Not to be missed!

I used their website to get their email address ( enquiries@ ) and requested availability for a table for 4 for Saturday giving just under 2 weeks notice. I chased my booking prior to our trip to be told we don't do bookings via email but had no correspondence to that effect!! I was told that I should have received a automated reply to phone in?? Why therefore have an enquiries@ email address proudly placed under the phone number? Not really what I would expect from a restaurant with high ambitions. Not great experience therefore.

Great stuff , great food , I will back soon !!

Absolutely amazing Thai restaurant in the centre of Edinburgh! We had a delicious meal here (satay tofu duo, coconut and radish filo parcels, king prawns, king prawn pad Thai, and panang tofu with sticky rice). The staff, particularly our waitress, were really friendly, helpful and patient. Great vegan choices - if you like coconut I’d really recommend the little parcels, shared with my partner who doesn’t usually enjoy veggie starters but loved these parcels and keeps talking about them! We thought it was great value for money, we paid around £80 for all the above food, beer, bottle of red wine, and service charge. Have already recommended it to a friend looking for a new Thai place. Hope to come back! :)

Very kind waitress noticed my partner struggling with the spice before taking it back to the kitchen to make it more palatable. Service was quick and food delicious too. It was busy despite it being a Tuesday

Very qualitative Thai cuisine. The staff is attentive and the atmosphere is very friendly. I loved finding the real flavors of Thailand. Too bad they don’t offer mango sticky rice for dessert! I advise you to make a reservation because this address is very popular.

Delicious food and I love how much meat we got on both of our dishes 🤤

Great experience. Well-trained staff that really keep an eye on you. The food is amazing, thai food made by people that grew up with thai food. You can taste the origin.

Went with a couple of friends at their suggestion because I don't really know Thistle street and haven't heard of Dusit before. But I'll definitely be back. Very friendly and helpful staff that gave a warm welcome and the food was very good. They even asked if I wanted the food less spicy which was a bonus for me😂 can't fault it in any way! A definite recommendation for sure!

Great Thai restaurant, reasonable prices, good real food, good size portions. Visited that place few times for lunch and dinner 🥘. Recommended to book a table in advance- phone only.

Consistently fantastic with the best customer service

Beautiful good here good service also.

Really good ambiance, excellent service and above all delicious food!! Lots of flavour and authentic spices.

The food was delicious. Staff are so friendly & attentive. Highly recommend & can't wait to go back.

Tasty plentiful banquet and attentive service. The cellar table was odd but we got our own full-time waiter so couldn't grumble too much. Good price for central Edinburgh.

Comfortable environment, efficient staff, authentic Thai food. I highly recommend

We had a variety of dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. The duck main was particularly excellent with crispy skin and perfectly cooked duck. The service was brilliant 👏 when we arrived, there were no tables available, but the lady working there said no problem go down the street to the pub, and she came and called us when a table was available.

It doesn’t get better than this. I’ve been back 5 days in a row.

Fast service, good food, good atmosphere

Lunch at the DUSIT is always a treat ! What amazing flavours the chefs manage to create in their food. We are never disappointed with the dishes on offer whether from the 2 course lunch or A la carte. We had starters of Vegetable Spring Rolls along with a Warm Chicken Salad. This was followed by a Roast Duck Breast with Teriyaki Sauce and a Chicken Thai Red Curry. All food was delicious as usual , washed down with a bottle of Merlot.

Food was wonderful, the ambience cozy and staff most attentive. Will be back!

Starters were brilliant but mains were kind of sweet. Taste is one’s personal choice, maybe thats how Thai is. Overall we enjoyed it.

Beautiful food and service is fantastic. Panang curry with sticky rice. Cooked to perfection.

If you like Thai food, then you'll love Dusit as it's amazing!

Worth to dine. The food was all great

One of my favourite Thai restaurants. Everything here is so delicious!

Super food. Duck salad starter a particular highlight. Awsome fast, cheerful and helpful service.

A very nice discovery, the food is refined and truly excellent. We feel that the dishes are fresh and homemade. The service is very responsive and the atmosphere is pleasant.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have experienced knowing that my wife is Thai and that we unfortunately have no restaurant of this quality in France in Paris. The dishes are delicious, succulent and plentiful. Impeccable price quality

By far my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. Great value, great service and the food is amazing. So fresh and feels so good for you.

Incredible service and even a better food.

We recently dined at Dusit Thai Restaurant and were impressed by the fantastic home-cooked Thai food. The dishes were authentic and flavorful, offering a comforting taste of Thailand. While the food was delightful, it didn't quite match the innovative flair of some of the newer specialist Thai restaurants in the area. Nonetheless, it was a satisfying meal. However, we encountered significant issues with the service. Despite having a reservation, we felt rushed through our dining experience and completed our meal in less than 50 minutes. It was clear that the restaurant was focused on turning tables quickly and overbooking, which detracted from what should have been an enjoyable Friday night out. The excessive wait times for those who had booked and the acceptance of walk-ins that could not be properly accommodated further exacerbated the problem. While we understand the challenges of operating in a competitive market, the pressure to leave quickly overshadowed the positive aspects of our visit. Unfortunately, this has deterred us from returning anytime soon, which is a shame given the quality of the food.

The best Thai place in Edinburgh! The Pad Thai was the best Pad Thai I ever eat!

We can't recommend it hard enough. The food is amazing! The kind of food that makes you laugh. The staff is incredibly attentive, efficient, friendly, and professional. We ordered the banquet, and everything was delicious. We will be back for sure

Very delicious for Asian food lovers.

What a great find. Situated down a lovely cobbled street this restaurant was first class. Although very busy (6.30pm on a Wednesday!) the food and service were excellent. We love Thai food and the restaurant did not disappoint. The menus was great and we had scallops and king Prawn starters with a chicken penang curry, rice and a Prawn pad thai for main course - excellent! We also had a nice bottle of wine at a reasonable price. Highly recommend

All I can say is amazing food, service and great value. Absolutely delicious. We even asked for Thai starter not on the menu and they did this for us. I love Thai food and this I up there with the best if not the best.

Beaut wee Thai place a bit off the beaten track. Menu has all the classics and some special stuff that really hits. Good veggie options including some of the best tofu I've had. Not strictly Thai but their roti is sensational and does actually work with the Thai food which I guess they knew or they wouldn't have it on the menu like the wee geniuses they are.

Amazing food which is both tasty and well presented.The coconut desert is heaven

Superb food! Aroi mak. Thank you for a lovely time…

Excellent food and great value. We went on a Monday evening and the restaurant was full and had a great vibe.

Amazing experience at Dusit. We went here as other reviewers mentioned good vegetarian options and I definitely can attest to that! We ordered Tofu Satay and Coconut Samosa (can't remember the actual name, but that's the item) for starter. Spicy crispy tofu & mixed vegetable plum stir fry and rice on the side for mains. And then a coconut rice pudding for dessert. Everything was delicious and portions were quite generous, we shared it all and left quite full. Staff were very attentive and friendly, service was quick. I would definitely recommend this as a place to go for vegetarians in Edinburgh.

Excellent food and vibe - even on a Monday evening! Service was very good. Great variety - recommend the stir fried lamb shank. Good value for money too.

Our favourite Thai in Edinburgh. Make sure you get the banquet meal. It's great value for 2 people. 6 individual starters each ( they are to die for! ) and you get 3 main courses plus a rice and a noodle side. Great value

Fantastic appetizers, really fresh ingredients, appropriately fast service if that’s what you desire. We has a chicken stir fry and a curry with Roti bread, amazing!

Visited for 1st time, very busy , staff very friendly, food was fantastic, HOWEVER food was very rushed, staff trying to remove plates before finished a course, next course ⁷arriving before everyone finished. Even when we were putting our coats on at the table to leave other diners were trying to sit down. The food us great but seems pushing numbers through the door is more important than the diner experience.

Exceptional Thai meal with service to match The flavors of the dishes we had were vibrant. Each dish (pad Thai, a curry, green papaya salad and a chicken vegetable stirfry) was unique and delicious on its own. The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive, paying attention to every need we might have. The warmth of the staff ensured a satisfying meal and a memorable experience in Edinburgh. I would eat here every day. Do not miss.

This is the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to! We were served very quickly and the staff were lovely. We had the Gai Manow, Panama duck curry and Pad Kraprao. They were all delicious!

Staff was friendly and accommodating and food was superb. Delicious green curry that was perfectly spicy. Generous portion and safe for gluten free / coeliac.

Excellent Thai food, nice atmosphere. Authentic and first rate! Right off of George St in Newtown

There is a reason this is the top-rated Thai restaurant in Edinburgh: it is incredible. The food is beautifully in look and flavour, the staff incredibly friendly and attentive. Absolutely delicious and not to be missed.

Staff were fantastic! Really friendly and attentive. Food was exceptional! Best Thai restaurant in Edinburgh by far. A hidden gem!

Some of the best Thai food we have ever had! Absolutely delicious and the service is incredible. They were also very kind and fit us in before their next reservation. Couldn't recommend it more!

Food is amazing. Service is even more so. Such a gem.

Absolutely, hands down, great place! Very friendly and attentive staff. 👍 The food was just as good as one might hope for. Well presented and, most importantly, tasty. 👍 If/when I ever return to Edinburgh I will be here again.

One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been been to. We went around 17:30 without a reservation as a party of two and they were able to squeeze us in if we could be done by 19:00. The interior is dark and modern. Our servers were all wonderfully kind and very attentive. We order the Popia Ped (duck spring rolls) and Song Gleur Juer Gan (sweet potato fritters) to start. Both were great. The spring rolls were super crispy and flavorful and the potato fritters were savory and came with a yummy tangy dipping sauce. For mains we ordered the Gai Dusti (mango, chili, cashew chicken) and the Tofun Sam Rod (tangy/ spicy tofu). Both were incredible. The chicken was very flavorful — sweet and tangy and yummy. The tofu though was the star of the show. I wish this dish was on every Thai menu! So tangy and garlicky and spicy. It was addicting. I could have eaten the sauce as a soup it was so yummy. I highly recommend trying out this spot while in Edinburgh. Our experience was outstanding and it was one of our favorite meals while visiting.

Excellent Thai food and somehow even better service. Everyone in this restaurant was pleasant, welcoming, and the service was incredibly efficient and fast. The food was cooked perfectly, garnished beautifully, and full of flavor. Some of the best Thai cuisine I've ever had!

Best restaurant in Edinburgh. Best in Britain probably too. Even if Thai food is not your 'go to', order something small, the service will not disappoint. It is impeccable.

I have lived 18 years in Bangkok and know Thai food very well. This is a pretty good effort, without key ingredients missing or Chinese influence as is so common the situation with Thai dining abroad. Definitely not a disappointment and better than their local competition. Good selection and authentic flavour and presentation. Serving are large too. Staff are Thai. One glaring omission however is no pork, which frankly is a core ingredient in Thai cuisine, more than beef or duck. Imagine a Thai restaurant without prawns! Yes Thailand has a significant Muslim representation, but it's a very small one and leaving pork off the menu is a big fail. In BKK a 4 but for Edinburgh, 4.5+

Been several times for lunch with friends. Exceptional service food is delicious and the atmosphere and the staff will always make me go back and recommend

Food is outstanding, every single time. The staff are also so nice, they can't do enough for you and go above and beyond 🫶🏼

Very good restaurant with a great variety of dishes (including veg)

Great experience, great treatment and the food and presentation of this was exquisite. To highlight the pad thai with prawns. Although the chicken satay was good, I have eaten better.

Food was delicious for everyone in the group. Well staffed and very friendly

the whole restaurant was so tiny so even for two people it is like they have set on the same table with strangers. I could hear that the manager was yelling at staff.

This was probably the best place we ate in Edinburgh during our week stay. It’s a small spot but the food packs a punch! Everything we ordered was hot and fresh and full of flavor! Plus lots of spice on their spicy dishes! We ordered money bags, chicken satay, Pad Prig King and another chicken dish Kua something (forgot the name) as well as their fried noodles; and all were hands down delicious!! I absolutely recommend you give this place a try if you’re in the area. Also recommend making a reservation if you’re trying to go during the weekend, do so a couple of days ahead as they get booked quickly! If it’s during the weekday you should be fine. Overall such a tasty spot in the city.

Starters were absolutely divine, but the mains were slightly below my expectations so giving only four stars. The receptionist guy was a bit cold/unwelcoming for Edinburgh standards, but other staff were very attentive, warm & courteous. Highly recommended.

The serving staff were wonderful to us. The food was delicious, very fresh, hot and tasty. The filo pastry moneybag parcels were next level. It's worth booking since it fills up fast in the evening, understandably. Make sure to check out the bathrooms downstairs, they are quite cool.

Great restaurant for group tour by Unity2000 tour guidmaxunity

Pity, the food was tasteless and cost £66 for 3 starters and one main course - lunch time visit. We won't be back again when we visit Edinburgh.

Great food, went couple of times

We ate here on many occasions when visiting the city ( we last visited about 10 years ago) and the food was wonderful- so we decided to eat here again for lunch when we visited Edinburgh last week for our Easter break. The service was good but the food not good quailty (especially for £66 without wine and for 3 starters and one main course). We are used to high prices living in London but the food quality was standard to say the least. We were very disappointed with the lack of flavouring and taste - what has changed here??? We believe this place must have different owners and chefs- since the change in the food is soo dramatically poor compared to our previous experiences - hence 2 stars. Quite a pity- we won't be back when we return to Edinburgh again!

Fantastic Thai food. Shellfish was very good. Chose to visit at a quiet time.

Superb restaurant, great food and very friendly staff. One of the most enjoyable Thai meals we have had, and we've had quite a few! We went for the banquet at a very reasonable price and could not come close to finishing all dishes. The selection of starters, all served with their various accompanying sauces were very tasty, especially the Thai beef salad! The mains (we chose the duck, king prawn and chicken, served with both rice and noodles were also very tasty and high quality. Their house wine selection was also at a very reasonable price and was good quality.

Thank you for looking after us so well, such attentive service. Food was delicious, great atmosphere and look forward to returning.

Wow..we came across this restaurant on day 1 of our Edinburgh trip. Looking for an evening meal. From the offset the welcome given by the staff, intricate details such as taking our coats. Providing water. After we placed our orders and chosen drinks the staff were constantly attentive. Prior to the food arriving, the plates were brought to the table warm. Real folded napkins also. The starter of chicken satay was divine, beautifully presented. The flavors were perfect. The table was cleaned before our mains arrived & again when ice had melted on it. Once again, new cutlery and warm plates before our mains. One dish had a fab rose in a little vase on the side. The pad thai was fully of succelent chicken. The steak teriyaki was full of fresh flavours. We were once again surrounded by very attentive staff. The restaurant is so clean & the entire group of staff were friendly and courteous.

So pleased they could squeeze us in at last minute. the food came with quantity and quality. Flavours were amazing!

Delicious Thai food; many vegetarian options.

Superb food, excellent service and a great buzz, loved it!

Beautiful food, we had the banquet as my hubby had never had Thai, amazing food and supper attentive service, absolutely worth the visit

Great location, friendly service, good atmosphere and, most importantly, beautiful Thai food. Would recommend this little gem.

Kind welcome, excellent service and great food. Definitely I would recommend to enjoy a Thai dinner at Edinburgh New Town

Excellent restaurant. Staff were great and food was delicious! If you like Thai food this is the place to go in Edinburgh

Had my 60 th birthday meal here Table of 16 and was no problems The food was amazing as usual The staff are brilliant and very attentive Very reasonable price Had a brilliant time Thank you so much 😊

What a place! Great ambiance, exceptional service, & mouth-watering food. We ordered their banquet menu and thoroughly enjoyed everything. Starters were my favourite! Out of the three mains stir fry beef was my favourite. We ordered two diet cokes and finished the meal with their green tea. Total was 42£ each but so worth it.
