Nipa Thai in City of London, Westminster

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic Just fantastic Thai fish cakes were mouth watering

My partner and I had dinner at this restaurant because of the positive reviews, and since we were staying at the hotel we thought it was convenient and we were quite disappointed. The food was correct but nothing special in fact neither the prawns nor the meat were of good quality. The service was very slow and when we asked for chopsticks to eat, they gave us takeaway ones, we paid more than 100 pounds per cutlery, I think it is not recommended.

Wonderful food and service . Will definitely return.

My partner last night said this was the best Thai Restaurant she had ever been to and being Malaysian she should know. She particularly liked the fishcakes. Also, we had an excellent bottle of wine and outstanding cocktails all enhanced by the usual wonderful service

Nipa Thai is excellent. Located in the Royal Lancaster Hotel (not far from Paddington Station) and overlooking Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, everything about it is first-rate. The decor is comfortable and elegant. Service is attentive without being overbearing. The wine-and-liquor list is extensive. The food is delicious (degrees of spice/heat are indicated on the menu) and the portions are appropriate. Prices are reasonable. If you're in London and want Thai cuisine, this is the place to go.

Yet another wonderful evening The prawns were mouthwatering and the soft shell crab still the best in London but as always it was Not and her wonderful staff which made it such a joy I love going there

It was delicious, especially the steamed seabass. We really enjoyed the food.

El mesero no explicó lo abundante de los platillos por lo que sobró mucha comida sin necesidad Esperaba mejor sabor de la comida

As with many of the other reviews, the food was tasty, but they need more servers. It took 20 minutes before server came to take drink orders; 20 minutes to get them, and while eating, the food is spicy and we had to chase down the waiter for water.

Food- service- staff- everything is perfect

The place is actually inside the Royal Lancaster hotel and it’s very nice and very clean. My husband and I got the hyde park view which you can see the Italian Garden and we both love it 😻 The food are amazing, the staff are very helpful and friendly they are mostly Thai people Staff. We probably go back to this place because we had a great time celebrating our wedding anniversary in Nipa Thai. ❤️🫶🏻🇬🇧🇹🇭☺️

Have been visiting for over 20 years and it never disappoints. Excellent food (and I have lived in Thailand) and outstanding service.

I loved it, it's like I'm back in Thailand.

Food was good . Service was super slow . It was a busy night and I guess they were understaffed .

Undoubtedly the greatest Thai restaurant in London Perfect atmosphere Wonderful staff and outstanding food

I’ve been here a few times before and ranked this as the best Thai restaurant in London but last night it disappointed. My Tom yum goong soup was not as spicy or tasty as usual. Normally this is an intense dish but it was just - ok. Then my pork with basil stir fry was a bit chewy. I usually have the chicken so not sure if it is like that always. Also it wasn’t as flavoursome as I normally get. My partner thought that the crab and the pad Thai also needed more spice and asked for some chilli sauce to add. Not sure if it was a chefs bad day or if they have downgraded the spice levels for the tourists but overall I was disappointed. Perhaps I will try one more time to see if this was a one off bad day but it wasn’t as good as it has been.

Qaseem service is best ! Always feel delighted and homely to have delicious Thai cuisine .. highly recommended .

Great experience! It was delicious food that felt very authentic. The wine service was a little slow, but they noticed this at some point. Thank you!

If I could sum up Nipa Thai in a few words: refined, but relaxed. The food was excellent; the service was excellent. Unable to fault it. They even brought me a small complimentary dessert, with a candle, and sang Happy Birthday! Nipa Thai has been around for decades, because a) it's consistently excellent, and b) it seems the same people who own the restaurant also own the beautiful Royal Lancaster Hotel on whose first floor the restaurant is situated.

What can I say about Nipa Thai that is not superlative? The answer is nothing. It is simply superb. The spring rolls were as always crispy but also with a taste that makes your hair stand on end, it is just so perfect. And as for the soft-shell crab, well world beating is the best description. But it is the wonderful smiling and attentive staff which really made the evening with the best Maitre D'Hotel in London and a wonderful head waitress. As always, the dinner that made my week.

Fabulous, service was exceptional, would definitely go again

Appreciate all the staff… chefs was excellent ✊🏾

Simply sublime. Pleasant service, a cozy atmosphere, cuisine with lots of carefully balanced flavors and a lovely presentation.

Lovely environment. Service was nice - but drinks and meals were not served to everyone at the same time. Made for an ackward dining experience.

Service was extremely slow and staff were not friendly. Food was great but price has surged.

Lovely, authentic Thai food, impeccable service

Good experience at the restaurant and good food We went as a small group and the waiters and staff were incredibly helpful. There were times where we felt a bit rushed to turnover the table and we also thought, while the food was good, it wasn’t spectacular considering the price. Overall though it was a good experience.

Overall a very nice evening with two standout dishes - tempura crab and scallop salad.

You need to go here.! This place is lovely, the food is amazing and the staff are lovely. We had the set menu and it was the best Thai food we have ever eaten. The staff really look after you and it feels so friendly. A great experience.

A wonderful dining experience for a special occasion. We were given a lovely table with views of the park, the food was lovely and it was a calm, comfortable atmosphere (just what we wanted).

Amazing meal from.start to finish will be going back on our next visit.

My wife and I went there for our 9th anniversary and had an amazing experience. The food was fantastic and the service was also amazing. I would definitely recommend going there.

Great tasting food in small but comfortable setting. I really enjoyed the sliced sirloin beef. I loved that everyone that worked there was Thai. The servers were very respectful and accommodating but a bit slow.

This is a very lovely and intimate spot. The service was great and the food was so amazing. I’ll definitely want come here again!

What more can I say about Nipa Thai? It is quite simply the best Thai restaurant in London. The crisp rolls were to die for and the fish curry outstanding, but it is the staff that make the restaurant, always smiling always attentive. A thoroughly wonderful birthday evening

Good food, amazing ambience and service. It’s has great vibe and a quiet feel to it. Please do reservations before landing up there.

Had such an amazing experience being served by Apple, Ian, Kasim and Mya from the bar. We felt so warm and the hospitality was amazing! Would recommend to everyone

Couldn’t have felt more welcome, staff very friendly and had the perfect level of attentiveness, food to die for, beautifully presented and full of deep flavour. Nice touch at the end a birthday treat for my other half and happy birthday, just from putting down why we were going! 10/10 will definitely go back.

Superb food with amazing friendly service in a great setting.
