Nipa Thai in City of London, Westminster

Me and my family spent 3 nights at Royal Lancaster and dined at Nipa Thai every night. Very beautiful restaurant and simply amazing food and fast service. Everything about this place is top top class.

A real gem located at the Royal Lancaster overlooking Hyde Park. Beautifully decorated, friendly service and generally excellent flavorful food. We celebrated family birthday and the whole experience was very memorable

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.

Absolutely first class... brilliant in all respects... 10/10

2a visita aquí para cenar solo por la noche durante viajes de negocios. A veces solo quieres cenar en un ambiente tranquilo, refinado y acogedor y este es solo el trabajo. Siempre voy por un curry tailandés aquí - el penng de pollo es genial y las porciones son generosas. Hay una gran carta de vinos y todo lo necesario, en realidad. Es más, el restaurante es tranquilo y tranquilo (de la manera correcta) por lo que solo puede tener esa experiencia gastronómica tranquila - creo que las viajeras solas aprecian esto, así que gracias! Nada aquí es nunca demasiado problema de la reserva en línea o simplemente una llamada telefónica rápida para reservar hecha unos días antes. El personal del restaurante es siempre acogedor y se toman el tiempo para explicar platos e ingredientes, si es necesario. El servicio realmente es excepcional. Cenar en Nipa Thai se ha convertido en uno de mis rituales para viajes frecuentes de negocios en Londres. Genial para sentirse cómodo mientras cena solo sin ninguna molestia o explicación. Los precios aquí no son particularmente baratos, pero estoy feliz de pagar que poco más para comer en un entorno sereno. Siempre disfrutado.

Food was excellent, service was a little slow but it's a very popular restaurant. Desserts were great!

great food atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely setting, credible if not inspiring food, but service was amazingly lacking. We were seated at 7:30 and no one ever greeted us to present menus. We had to ask for attention at all parts of our dinner (no one went over the menu, explained special items, inquired as we dined). Very curious and disappointing approach for a restaurant for which we had high expectations.

Hice una reserva de cumpleaños especial en este restaurante para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi marido y nuestra última noche en Londres, ya que fueron muy recomendables por el hotel en el que me alojaba. Desafortunadamente, la comida y la experiencia no estuvieron a la altura de la publicidad y la experiencia culinaria esperada. La comida era costosa y los dos platos que tuvimos eran salados. Mi marido informó al restaurante y en su intento de rehacer su comida, todavía estaba salada. No recomendaría este restaurante especialmente para una ocasión especial.

Nipa Thai is a true gem! Every dish bursts with authentic Thai flavors, transporting you straight to Thailand. The food is exquisite, the Hyde Park view is spectacular, and the team is incredibly kind and attentive, especially Kaseam, who made the experience even more special with exceptional service. A must-visit!

Nuestra experiencia gastronómica en NIPA, fue realmente divina! El personal era increíblemente servicial, explicando pacientemente el menú y ofreciendo excelentes recomendaciones, que fue muy apreciado ya que no estábamos familiarizados con los platos. La comida en sí era una sinfonía de sabores, cada plato una obra maestra visualmente impresionante. Para concluir nuestra comida, disfrutamos de un delicioso postre: una rosquilla tibia y esponjosa llena de helado fresco y cremoso, el final refrescante perfecto. ¡Ya estamos deseando nuestra próxima visita! Gracias al equipo y a Kaseam por ser tan servicial con todo.

The best authentic Thai foods in London. Very friendly staff. Very gentle manager Kaseam. Phat Thai Koong is the best...

We were a party of 6 friends staying in the hotel for the England v Scotland game the following day. We chose one of the set menus on offer on the Nipa website and it was an excellent choice with a number of starters followed by a good selection of main couses that everyone could sample and enjoy. Very friendly service from Kaseam and his team and even chef Sanguan stopped by our table to say hello. If only the result at the game the following day had been so good.....

Great authentic Thai cuisine with great hospitality from all the staff who involved. The restaurant atmosphere gives welcoming and comfortable vibe, which is very suitable for relaxing yet proper evening mail experience Thai food is well known for its spicy origin however, they indicated very well on the menu and the level of the spiciness was enjoyable

We were well looked after from start to finish by the staff. The food was amazing and I'd love to come again. The surprise at the end was very thoughtful as we were celebrating. 5 star service all round!

This restaurant comes highly recommended with good reasons. Read the reviews, you can actually believe them, and go. You can thank me later.

We came here for valentine's and had the set menu, every dish was so good, well presented and full of flavour. The staff were extremely nice and helpful and put a custom valentines message on my girlfriend dessert 🥰 10/10 We will be doing a food blog on IG and Tiktok tomorrow: Nishandmarv ✨

I went here recently to celebrate my birthday and it was quite lovely. The host who was looking after us was quite irritated and just seemed very uninterested to communicate with us. Perhaps they were just having a bad day. The food arrived very quickly, but we had to wait quite a while for the cocktails. The dish I would most definitely go back for - Kaeng Ka Ree Gai! The creamy texture of this curry was insane. I just wish they had an extra large portion!! They gave complementary birthday treats and candle, which was very sweet. There was nice background music going on, but it was in general very quiet mellow atmosphere for dinner.

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!!

Fabulous and authentic Thai restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was perfect. I would definitely visit again.

It was great food and attentive service in a with a table overlooking the park.

Cool! Incredible location inside a hotel and amazing cuisine. I had a Pad Thai, and it was terrific! ❤️

Lovely restaurant, great food wonderful service. Best Thai in London

The dining room is beautiful. The service was very good and the food was authentic Thai food that was delicious. The presentation was elegant. We will definitely return the next time we are in London.

Authentic Thai, cracking food and service. Would recommend

Yet another wonderful evening The chicken was mouthwatering but as always it was the wonderful Thai service which made the evening

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.

Excellent food and great service I would highly recommend. And will definitely return thanks so much for an excellent evening celebrating my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday.

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!

Food was excellent and lovely atmosphere . Service was excellent

We enjoyed our dinner experience in Napi Thai. The quality of the ingredient was very good and portions are generous. We felt quite full after the 2 starters. Dishes are well cooked and presented and full of in-depth flavour. It is always difficult to find good Thai cuisine even in London. Napi Thai definitely one of the better ones out there. Worth a try and a pleasant place to have dinner. Staff are great too.

Really good variety of Thai food and great service in upscale environment

The food was amazing! And the presentation was beautiful. All staff were very friendly.

Excellent setting. Spoilt for choice on the menu. Spicy is spicy! Book way in advance for required time, NIPA is very popular. Staff are a credit to the restaurant.

The most authentic thing about this restaurant - were the staff- food was bland from start to finish - beef was fatty - left nearly the whole main dish but I wasn’t even asked if everything was ok. If this wasn’t in a hotel- I doubt it would be in business . Everything seemed toned down in flavour- it just wasn’t Thai as it’s supposed to be - and pricey too- There are better Thai restaurants in London - for taste and value for money

As always a wonderful dinner The prawns in noodles was awesome but it’s the staff that make it such a great experience… always attentive with that wonderful Thai smile

Another visit , another outstandingly good experience. Warm welcome, highly attentive service, wonderful food & wine, and sumptuous environment within the restaurant. Lovely staff and brilliantly managed.

A wonderful restaurant, the presentation of the food is fabulous and the tastes are also delicious! Lovely attentive waiting staff.

Lovely food, beautifully presented, with generous portion sizes—truly the real deal for authentic Thai cuisine. Every bite was a delight! The only downside was the miserable weather and the hefty £30 parking charge, but the meal itself was worth it.

Spectacular service and food. Quiet place to eat with family

Nice restaurant - don't be put off the fact it is in a hotel as, once in the restaurant, it has a true restaurant feel. The food was great and service very attentive.

Great food , and staff. Was very happy with service.

The food was pricey but delicious. Servers were sometimes hard to find. Overall, a 4 is appropriate.

We dined in this restaurant with a few friends. The quality of starters were very standard but the main course was a different experience. I had sea bass with petit aubergine… absolutely delicious Dessert was amazing as there was different taste in every dish. Staff are quite in rush for serving the food and clear up.

Lovely experience - wonderful service and delicious food, thank you.

Genuinely the best Thai food I’ve EVER had. The service was impeccable and the prices are good compared to Mayfair restaurants

Great food but a little pricey. The set menu is worth a try as it gives you a taste of everything. Pad Thai is worth tasting as is the fish

Perfection!!!!!!the service the atmosphere the food 🤤🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰 The prawns 🦐🦐👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

This is my second time revisiting Nipa Thai and the service was amazing. The food was so good, worth every penny!

We had such a great meal at Nipa Thai . Can't wait to return!

Great Thai Restaurant in London, amazing food and service !

Great food, great service, very friendly and attentive staff.

Superb overall experience. Team are helpful and knowledgeable and offer a professional discreet service. Would highly recommend 👌

Another exceptional experience. Food is made and presented to a very high standard. The staff are impeccable with the correct balance of interface. It is all very reasonably priced.

This review is based on my experience at the restaurant on my previous birthday. I have got a warmly welcome upon arrival and was seated at the table I requested for. Food is hot and well presented. However, the signature dish seemed to be not beautifully outstanding as before. Nevertheless, we are totally satisfied and highly appreciated by the service provided. Highly recommended.

Fabulous restaurant . After having recently visited Thailand, coming to dine at the Nipa Thai transported us back to the Thai experience . It was lovely .

How can I find superlatives enough to describe Nipa Thai? But then I am conflicted. I have travelled in Thailand a lot over the years and have fallen in love with its food and its people. Nipa Thai is a shining beacon for both. The food is mouthwatering (Don't miss the soft-shell crab!) and the staff are a wonderful advertisement for their country. Led by the two best Maitre d'Hotels in London they are attentive, gracious, efficient and all have that wonderful warm welcoming smile that is unique to Thai people. In short if you come to London and don't dine at Nipa Thai, you have seriously missed out!

Nipa Thai is consistently outstanding. The welcome, the ambience, the food …. It’s all 5* ++++ I’ve been coming to Nipa for many years now and the food is of an outstanding quality, great specials and always with attentive service. You are always made to feel welcome and the staff go above and beyond to make the experience very special. Highly recommend you pay a visit

Amazing as always. The service was top 5 star and the food was really tasty.

Always love having supper here when we stay at The Lancaster!

Visiting London from the states. We decided to try this restaurant and it was wonderful. The service was great and the food- spectacular. Highly recommend

Delicious thai food fresh and beautifully presented

I am a regular visitor to this restaurant right in the heart of Hyde Park . They consistently deliver on Food , Service and extremely friendly staff. For lovers if Thai food , this is a must.

We had a very nice dinner here celebrating my daughter’s graduation. However, £200 for dinner with no alcohol is a lot.

Helt fantastisk madoplevelse Både børn og voksne var vilde med maden Kan virkelig anbefales Selve restauranten er også super hyggelig

Wonderful anniversary evening. The service was outstanding and food delicious! We will be back next anniversary. Thank you so much for the complimentary drink, was most appreciated.

An ideal pitstop while waiting for a train--with excellent food and very attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent and authentic, fresh and beautifully presented food and service was a characteristic of the visit. Whilst on the first floor of a major hotel it welcomes patrons from everywhere

I was staying in a hotel nearby and came here on the recommendation of one of the managers there. I have had the best thai food ever and I will be back here again on my future visit to london. The bar is lovely and the staffs are class beyond.

Wonderful Host, Hostesses and Excellent Food. Very Pleasant Atmosphere and pricing is comparable to the quality of food and by service.

Amazing Service and Fabulous Food! I would highly recommend for authentic Thai food.

An excellent find. Great food, service and ambience. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Nestled within the elegant surroundings of Royal Lancaster London, the Nipa Thai provides a dining experience that truly sets it apart. From the moment you step into the hotel lobby, you're met with a sense of sophistication and grace. The staff greets you with genuine smiles, offering impeccable hospitality that makes you feel like a cherished guest. The restaurant’s ambiance is refined yet inviting, with soft lighting and thoughtfully arranged decor, creating a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The beautifully set tables and the soothing background music, everything contributes to a relaxed and upscale atmosphere. The menu is a masterpiece of culinary artistry. Each course is prepared with the freshest ingredients, and the chef's expertise shines through in every bite. What truly stands out, however, is the level of service. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, anticipating your every need while making sure to personalize the experience. Nipa Thai promises an unforgettable journey of flavors and hospitality, all set within the grandeur of a top-tier hotel. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, this is the place to be for an unparalleled fine dining experience.

You must serve all dishes to all clients at the same time. A wait of almost 10 mins for the last client to receive their meal is not good.

Good service. Good food but the meat is little bit dry for Asian people. Overall is good. Will come again to try the desserts.

It’s always a pleasure to dine here - I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve visited. The atmosphere, service and food are consistently outstanding. Very few restaurants in London can do that. To the Nipa Thai Team, please keep up the amazing work!

Staff, food and location were fab. A fantastic evening

Staff were very attentive and helpful for our party of 8, and the food was absolutely delicious - I’d definitely be coming back here!

Fantastic and compliments to the chef! Best Thai food ever! We will be back!

Enjoyed our dinner - great flavors, friendly, efficient service. We had one small issue with a dish and they couldn’t have been nicer about resolving.

Amazing service and delicious food. This was our first visit and wont be the last. The whole set up of the restaurant is very tasteful. We had the fish cakes, satay chicken, massaman curry and chicken stir fry. Each dish was amazing and they give good portions, so you will leave full! We had a quiet table at the back for the 3 of us and next time we will book more in advance to get a window table. The restaurant was busy which is good to see. Again the staff were so friendly and welcoming I wish we had got their names.

Exceptional food, exceptional service, above and beyond kindness, lovely dining atmosphere, and very welcoming to us despite the fact we were dressed very casually for such a nice restaurant. We were delighted with the experience as was our 7 year old granddaughter. Thank you to all for one of the best meals we had on our trip!♥️

Returned here for our anniversary after coming last year and we had a great experience as did last time. Really attentive staff, great value, great food and lovely setting for the restaurant. Such a hidden gem

Very good service and nice people

Celebrated my father’s 70th birthday and we are overjoyed to choose Nipa for this special occasion. We had delicious food and the cake that we have preordered was amazing! The team always looks after us especially the restaurant manager Kaseem and head chef Sangwan, we will be back soon.

Took my family to celebrate my uncle's 70th birthday and had an amazing experience. The head chef Sangwan was amazing and the food was incredible, even willing to adjust the spice level for some of us. The manager Kaseem was also very kind and welcoming. All the waiters that served our table were also all very friendly and professional, easy to make conversation with and able to talk us through each dish. Looking forward to going back again.

Very attentive and lovely staff, wonderful food and reasonable sized portions but a bit pricy. The restaurant is on the first floor of the Royal Lancaster hotel, overlooking the Bayswater Road and Hyde Park and we were seated in the window.

We booked a table in advance for 5 people and they arranged it for us, near the window which is the best place of this send floor restaurant. The service was perfect and the food was extremely good. This is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants in London.

Wonderful service, lovely meal. Had an amazing experience!

Well, as a experience vistor to Thailand, this place is a taste of Thailand no doubt. Eating the food I felt I was in back in Thailand while a view of Hyde Park through a giant glass window. What a place. Look forward to visiting again.

Really great restaurant. Fresh and tasty food. The staff were all really friendly and made it an even better experience.

Really lovely experience. I love Thai food and it was really tasty and the service was fantastic. Very friendly waiting staff and front of house that made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

One of the best Thai restaurants in London, could not recommend more! The staff are incredibly talented, being polite, efficient and friendly, and the venue is simply fantastic, with a suiting atmosphere and attention paid to the minute detail, already with the hotel being in the Royal Lancaster Hotel, one can assume that the aesthetics will match the overall aesthetic of the hotel, but it had its own personality. We ordered a prawn pad thai, a classic which was just great, the Chicken and aubergine green curry, which was the perfect level of spicy and creamy and coconut ice cream to balance it, which was the perfect level of sweet, and served in a coconut shell. Would recommend!

Fabulous as always. Prawns were ecstatic but the staff are just so great

Chic and stylish Thai restaurant perched over Lancaster Gate overlooking the trees lining Hyde Park. Service was exemplary, food (especially the chicken and cashew nuts) very enjoyable and the ambience culturally warm and welcoming. Will certainly be returning.

High end dining at this superb restaurant. I visited with my partner on Saturday evening. The ambience was fabulous, a beautiful restaurant, in the Royal Lancaster Hotel., by Hyde Park. We could not fault a thing. The food was delicious, with generous portions. The service from the team was outstanding. We will definitely return.

Best Thai food outside of Thailand. Great service.

Fabulous food and amazing service. Great view over Hyde Park, perfect place for a celebration. Authentic Thai cuisine in a superb location

Fantastic food and service, we always enjoy the food here, so fresh and tasty. This time we had a window table so could enjoy London going by and Hyde Park in the distance. The wine too was excellent, a very good pairing for our food. Full marks again Nipa Thai x

I celebrated my birthday on Friday 26th July, with 14 friends and family, and it was a roaring success, thanks to the team at the Royal Lancaster hotel. We had drinks in the Park Lounge bar just outside Nipa Thai, and then moved into the restaurant just outside the bar. We were seated at the window overlooking Hyde Park. The restaurant is lovely. We had the Jasmine set meal, and the food was exquisite and service highly attentative. All my guests had a wonderful time and were raving about Nipa Thai. Thanks to the Tasha, the manager and staff for making this an absolutely memorable evening!
