Erawan Thai Restaurant in Falkirk

I love pad thai, and have eaten it in enough restaurants to know what a good pad thai tastes like. Erawan seems to have missed a memo, because theirs is the most peculiar tasting pad thai I’ve ever experienced. It was almost a little milky in flavour, and the noodles were too soft (stuck together in a dense blob), and frankly it just didn’t have the complexity of flavours that most pad thai has. Also, no mun tord (fried sweet potato) on the menu, which is probably the best thai side dish ever invented. If only Lana Thai was still in town…

Gorgeous restaurant serving amazing fresh food. Service excellent

A Meal with a Side of Chaos I visited this restaurant this evening, drawn in by the promise of delicious Thai cuisine. And let me tell you, the food was indeed great! The massaman curry hit the spot – but unfortunately, it came with a side of confusion, thanks to the “service.” When I arrived, I wasn’t greeted at the door. Instead, I was shouted at from across the room by a waitress (who I suspect was the owner also), asking me what I wanted – quite the entrance. Nothing makes you feel more welcomed than being the evening’s entertainment as everyone eating turns to stare. Then came the sneaky surcharge. I ordered a soda water for £1.50 (which, let’s face it, is essentially fizzy water at a lower price), but what do I find on the bill? I’d been charged for the bottled fizzy water at £2.30. Apparently, pouring soda water into a glass magically transforms it into a premium product! I found it greedy and rude! The waitress/owner was darting around like she was in a marathon, with no time for the minor details – you know, like basic customer service. Food-wise, this place nails it. But as for the “service” and extra surprise charges, I won’t be back. And if you do go, make sure you bring a magnifying glass to double-check that bill – apparently, you never know what you’ll be charged for.

Rude service . Bland taste-less food. Nice interior and exterior of the restaurant.

Decent Thai food, good service, nice athmosphere...overall a lovely place if you are craving Thai food or just a change from pub food or Indian food.

The food was excellent last night Thursday July 24th . It has been years since I have had such a good meal in lovely surroundings

Called to this restaurant after having it recommended by the hotel we were staying at. Both the starter and main meals were fantastic. There were 4 of us and we all agreed the food was excellent. Definitely be going again next time we are in the area.

Excellent experience. The food was exceptional. We had a variety of starters and main courses. The food was fresh and extremely tasty and flavoursome. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Will definitely return.

Very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Beautifully presented, and tasty food.

Just the ticket. Great food, polite and quick. Peaceful wee place.

Absolutely lovely, cute places. The food was great and plenty

Delicious food. Food was amazing. Staff were all lovely and friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the decor in the restaurant too

A lovely restaurant that is usually too quiet given how nice it is, although we normally go mid week. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is lovely and well priced.

Thoroughly enjoyed their green curry here. Great food and service!

Always enjoy our visits here as the food is consistently delicious, great dishes and always great welcoming staff and very competitive prices .

Went here for dinner, tried the traditional duck curry dish. Was really spicy but so tasty. Nice atmosphere and had a feel of Thailand with the decor. Would definitely go back.

Been here on 4 different occasions and each Time I have tried something new and it has been 10/10. Food is so fresh and flavoursome. I visited Thailand last year and the food honestly tastes just as good!! Definitely recommend this hidden gem

First time visiting tonight and it won't be the last. Tasty, flavourful food with enough spice to get the taste buds going, good drinks options that compliment the dishes. Wonderful, hearty and warm service from all staff members - no faults whatsoever, thank you for a great meal and a great evening out in Falkirk! ❤️

Is local to us so regular customers Booked on a whim tonight and once there realised there was a large, maybe 30 + people booked in a very small restaurant. We were a little concerned they may be overwhelmed and our service and food be a bit compromised, not so. The staff were amazing, attentive, our service and food were superb. It seems that the large party were well catered for too. I cannot recommend the fresh fish (sea bass) and seafood enough. Well done to them, they deserve to be busy. I noticed they sent drop in requests away despite tables, it was entirely the right thing to do.

I would recommend the Ped Ma Kharm - The Duck one, The chef's recommendation..... It was Really good ❤️

Me and my girlfriend visited last night, we felt very welcomed there was great customer service. Food was amazing including beautifully hand cut flowers, their mai tai cocktail was on point rlly enjoyed

Normally really love this restaurant, however last night I had a bit of a different experience. The beef dish I ordered arrived with very cheap meat that was chewy and I couldn’t eat it. I told the waitress who replied with “what do you want” she seemed very angry and annoyed and no apology. I normally have a good meal there and enjoy the food, but the staff working made you feel like an inconvenience.

Delicious food, great service and great atmosphere!

What a lovely place. A very welcoming atmosphere and the food is really nice

My favourite restaurant! Fresh food and friendly staff x

Lovely meal here for a friend's birthday, food was quick to come out and was delicious, very flavourful. Had the chicken satay starter which was really tasty and presented beautifully, then had panang curry with stick rice for main which was equally as tasty, lovely spice to it. Staff were also lovely and accommodating to dietary dislikes\requirements for the group.

Great food, lovely refurbished, only problem the room temperature is always on the cool side.

All dishes that I had ordered are delicious. Esspecially the fish is so good. I would recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food. I'm always surprised that it is often quieter than it deserves but the centre of Falkirk isn't exactly on the beaten track for great cuisine. Most recently took a party of 11 to celebrate a silver wedding. Great time and good food. Definitely worth an evening out and while it's more expensive than a take away it isn't bad value.

Had a late dinner (8.30pm), very friendly greeting. Restaurant was quiet and beautiful furnishing - fresh flowers every table. Had starters and mail, arrived quickly and was beautifully prepared and presented. Very tasty food and very well priced. £50 for 2 covers with starters and mains, and soft drinks. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed a great meal, great service and tasty food. We had a large group and were looked after well by the friendly staff.

The food was excellent. Lots of choice. The staff were friendly and great service. We'd certainly be back if we visit the area again.

I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. It’s definitely our favourite Thai restaurant and we’ve tried a few, even in Fiji they couldn’t match Erawan. We have a 25 minute drive as we stay In Fife, which is so worth it, never been disappointed.

Visited a couple of times recently and found Erawan to be a total gem of a restaurant. Tasty food at very reasonable prices. Every bits full of fresh flavour, please keep it up and don't ever change. Amazing service also.

This is our favourite restaurant in Falkirk. We took our friend, visiting from the USA there last week and again the day before his departure back to the States because he was so impressed with it the first time around. We have never had a bad meal in this restaurant and take all our friends there. The hostess is lovely too. We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Excellent food, fresh and delicious.

Real gem of a restaurant in Falkirk. Beautiful food with natural Thai ingredients. The steamed sea bass is my favourite main after 3 visits.

Food was absolutely delicious, best Thai restaurant ive tried, good customer service. Every dish we got was perfect. came to around £75 for 3 people, that was with 2 starters to share and 3 soft drinks, Which I think for the standard of food we got was very fair.

2 meals in 2 months and each one was fantastic. The food is authentic, well presented and soooo tasty. Service is excellent and a lovely ambience. Well worth a visit.

We ordered from the menu several weeks in advance so they were well prepared for a large party of 30 all choosing different things. Everything looked and tasted delicious.

Couldn’t sit in tonight due to being busy but still was able to takeaway food was delicious always so enjoyable, can’t wait to go back already 🥰🥰

Cater for vegans. The food is amazing! Freshly cooked. Superb! The staff are lovely. Lovely decor and ambiance. Will definitely be back 💚

Tasty fresh food and excellent service without being intrusive. Accommodated food allergies very well. Will return.

Amazing service and fast. I've had 3 collections so far, usually the duck cashew dish dish, and every time, it's been really great. No delivery service, but honestly, I think it's because they are so busy because it's mobbed every time I collect.

Just returned from another visit to Erawan and like our previous visits we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. We had fresh and fried spring rolls followed by two portions of no 23 and rice and noodles, and finished with a shared Thai pancake, as usual...

Amazing Thai food. Service and food are excellent. We have visited on numerous occasions and not once have we been disappointed. No 22 is my favourite, they also do the best tempura vegetables.

Quite disappointed to order a stir-fry dish only to find that the chicken was boiled and sliced instead of stir-fried! And both mine and my fiends dish absolutely sailed in sauce so the vegetables were rather limp.

Went back and visited again can’t get over how amazing the food and customer service is really friendly, can’t wait to go back already

I arrived about 6.30 ready to eat and order the menu. I was in that mood. As I entered I was pushed to the side by a member of staff to make way for a carry out customer. I passed inside to notice the seats...

Me n my family attended on new years very busy but food was unreal n stuff are friendly will definitely be back

As I’m a resident in the town I must have walked past here 100s of times until tonight when I decided to go for dinner . What a fantastic restaurant good food good service and as good a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc I’ve had for...

Simply some of the best food I’ve tastes in Scotland! If you want taste - this is the place to go! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!

I regularly eat at this restaurant. The food is absolutely incredible. This time I had chicken Tom yum soup it’s spicy and warms you on the coldest days. Main course was number 22 this is the most amazing chicken I have ever tasted, with sticky...

First visit here. The woman taking our order was not friendly, but I thought she was just the business-like type. I later heard her interacting with other customers in a friendly manner though, but hey-ho. The starters were nice enough - chicken satay and crispy...

The Erawan Thai restuarant is a hidden jewel in Falkirk just a mile from the kelpies sculptures. Tge owners are delightful. The food is not only the best Thai food I've ever eaten it's also very reasonably priced . You can also get take away...

Fantastic food service definitely be back 👍

A nice restaurant with a good menu. The rice paper rolls were fresh and the pad Thai was tasty

Amazing food, can highly recommend

Wow! This restaurant serves the best Thai food I've ever tasted. Everything we had was delicious. It tasted fresh and was beautifully presented. Friendly staff too. 💯 Recommended!!

First Class, in every respect.

Excellent eatery as good as anything I’ve tried in Thailand got to be best in area 👍🙏🥂🍻

The food was excellent, freshly made, the waiter very friendly and efficient, we throughly enjoyed the experience.

The food is brilliant and the owner is lovely. Unfortunately more money is spent on the decor and TV than on the heating and insulation. Some background ambience is needed when the restaurant is empty to avoid hearing the owner's children playing upstairs.

Fabulous food, fantastic attention to detail, great staff highly recommend

The best Thai restaurant in Scotland love this place we go as often as we can

Genuine authentic Thai food, went with friends who eat Thai food regularly and they said it was excellent. The food is not only well prepared but well presented as well. The staff are attentative without being overbearing, being there when you need them, but in the background when you don't. Would recomend it to any one.

Gr8 food lovely staff, went with my friends Val and Derek

Absolutely amazing we restaurant it's my new favourite I'll definitely be back

We just had panange curry wow fab enjoyed every bite,my wife had pad priew wan stir-fri Was amazing really nice and friendly staff.

The food and service was amazing ! We booked and were glad we did as the restaurant was busy. Will definitely be back !

Always been a fave mainstay when we visit Falkirk

Went there tonight. Lovely place awesome menu & the food was simply amazing 😁 Tom Yum & Tom Kha soup to start. Really delicious. Pad Thai for main course WOW it was incredible!!! Desert well we didn't really have room.... But its rude not to right? Hmmm Passion fruit sorbet was to die for. One scoop but it was a big scoop! White chocolate & caramel ice cream bomb was exquisitely delicious. Great atmosphere lovely staff.

We both had an absolutely lovely mean

The food was really good. I'd recommend the sweetcorn fritters starter. Staff are attentive but not overbearing. Restaurant is pleasant and compact. Only thing I'd suggest to the owner is to change the menu. The photos of the food aren't needed.

Friendly staff serving great food in a lovely atmosphere. Definitely return again

Wonderful food and service. What a great find!!

This is the best Thai food I have ever had and the service is excellent I only eat here well worth a visit

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent value for money and a pleasant surrounding. Just home from our first time there but will definitely be back and can recommend very highly.

Definitely must book in advance as very busy. Food really good. Service was ok not great but they were busy. Would go back

Food was amazing. Service was a bit strange. I feel the staff should be re trained in allergy awareness. I am on a gluten free diet and wtold allbthings with a G were gluten free when they did infact contain Gluten. Apart from that we had a great meal

Back for the first time since lockdown. Nok is a fabulous hostess. Remembered all of our favorites, although we gave her a few surprises. Smaller menu choices than before, but quality is even better. Great food, good prices. Love this place 🙏

Wow wee this was a fantastic find Great Thai food and excellent service

Beautiful Thai food, the flavour of the food was amazing, definitely recommend it, it was our first time will certainly be returning

The food is very tasty. And I'll whisper the next bit, it's good value for money too. Well worth a visit

Excellent, good food, nice cocktails, reasonably priced.

Excellent food and service. Perfect start to our holiday

Excellent restaurant. Beautiful food and lovely staff.

Absolutely fabulous food a would eat there everyday get yourself along

Had an excellent meal here. The service was A1 and very friendly. If I return to Falkirk will definitely eat here again.

Booked online. Table ready on arrival. Menus given promptly. Nice choice of popular dishes on the menu. Food delivered timely and presented well. Tasted good too. Veg Spring Rolls and Satay to start followed by King Prawn Red Curry and Jasmine Rice and Chicken Stir Fry with noodles. All too full for dessert which seemed to be branded ones I’ve seen on menus before - pre-made ice creams or fruit fritter and syrup. Service was efficient and pleasant. Surroundings ok in terms of decor, could modernise. Felt clean and bill came with a wee bottle of sanitiser. Nice place for Thai food and will return again.

Had a few takeaways from here during lockdown. Not exactly cheap for a takeaway but the food is excellent. I look forward to visiting the restaurant at some point soon. Would highly recommend.

Had a very good midweek meal at the Erawan. When decided to have a bit of a change and were very glad we did. The food was tasty and choice of protein made it suitable for all tastes.The dishes were spicy but not over the top and available at various heats. Good prompt service too.

We went for family meal, the food was very good with service to match. The calamari starter was excellent.

Very good and super friendly staff :) and such a stylish Boss! I will happily come back.

Have not been in a Thai restaurant for a long time, and I wonder to my self. Why not, when food this good turns up on our table. The food was really good. we had the Squid starter and ribs, both excellent. We both chose a king prawn dish for mains. I chose mine because it had Holy Basil in it, my favorite Thai spice. Do go and eat in here, it's great.

Been looking for a Thai restaurant to match one we used to visit on the other side of the world. Our first visit to the Erawan was a very nice surprise for both of us - great food. Looking forward to sampling the entire menu over the coming years. It feels a little expensive but such a fabulous treat its worth visiting again and again.

Service and food was first class and all covid prevention in place

Great Thai food, lovely surroundings and friendly service. We'll be back!

Superb meal again at Erawan, first night back since December and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.As usual the food was delicious and we received a friendly welcome and were served by courteous waitresses, it was great to be back and hopefully our next visit will be soon.
