Po Pia Thai Cuisine in Aberdeenshire

Tried several times to get a table here but it’s often full. Managed to get one last night and we were not disappointed. Excellent food, pleasant staff. Will definitely be back.

Great as always - 2nd year of returning. Food very good, staff very welcoming - what more can you say!? Thoroughly recommended and make sure you book well in advance. Looking forward to next year’s visit. Plenty of dishes left to try…..

After reading some good reviews, I was so looking forward to eating here but unfortunately it was disappointing. The menu is unusually limited which was a bit of a red flag as only typical 'popular' Thai dishes were on there. The mixed starters were an odd mix - with one chicken skewer and a very runny satay sauce, a spring roll which was ok but we couldn't identify the other 3 items which were some type of deep fried meat. The crispy duck starter tasted good but a tiny spoonful of sauce wasn't really enough for 6 pancakes. The Massaman curry tasted nothing like one - and I have had many authentic Massamans in Thailand and in this country - but regrettably, this wasn't one of them. The noodles accompanying the chicken stir fry were covered in a brown soy sauce and were so salty we couldn't eat more than a spoonful. We mentioned this to the waitress and she said it was because the noodles usually came mixed with vegetables to dilute the saltiness. From my experience, noodles as a side dish are typically just plain noodles. She did say she would feed our comments back to the chef. I'm sorry to say, this was not authentic Thai food. People are more discerning these days and know the difference and I'd expect the chef of a Thai restaurant to know what good authentic Thai food is. It's pricey too. At £71 for two starters, two mains, two beers and a coke, it really should have been better quality. So sadly I'm unable to recommend it

Excellent food and great service. Very busy so book it in advance! Good value for money with generous portions and plenty options

We ate here 2 years previously when they were based in the Ben Mhor hotel and remembered how good it was. We were looking forward to eating here again, especially as they had moved to their own place. The food was excellent with good service although the portions seemed a little smaller than we remembered.

We had a delicious meal which was very reasonably priced. The staff are lovely and to top it all they allow dogs if you arrange it beforehand. We were there on a Saturday and loads of people were turned away as it was full for sit in and takeaway so I would definitely recommend that you book.

The best food ever and friendly attentive service. Great food cooked perfectly. Nice atmosphere in town centre location. 100% recommended.

After reading some reviews we were really looking forward to our takeaway however it was hugely disappointing. It was expensive and lacked the taste of Thai meals that we've had from other Thai restaurants.

Probably one of the best take aways in Grantown. Amazing Thai food for all ages. Highly recommend the chicken pad mhe, massive portions of noodles and filled rice. Reasonable priced too

We discovered this fantastic restaurant by chance and were absolutely delighted. My wife is Thai and she raved about how authentic the food was, you really cannot get a better compliment than that. The staff were lovely and you can tell this is a family run business with passion.

We had lovely visit and really enjoyed our food. The restaurant was cosy and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our kids enjoyed it too. Thanks guys x

We had a lovely dinner here and would recommend it to others. The chicken with cashews stir fry had loads of cashews - a pleasant surprise as these are often lacking in similar dishes. Thoroughly enjoyed the pineapple fried rice which complimented the chicken dish well. The best thing was the food was very tasty without being overly spicy. The only thing that let it down was that the restaurant itself was quite cold as there was a problem with the heaters. I hope this could be rectified soon.

Ordered takeaway .. nothing fancy as the menu is very limited for a Thai. The reviews I read said yep this will be good .. egg fried rice claggy and lumpy and never seen an egg in its life .. Green curry was chicken pieces in a green paste .. crispy duck was simply a duck breast sliced and coated with a spice of some description. The taste was not Thai as I know it. Ate the soup and most of the food got discarded Disappointed is being polite

I can't say enough good things about Po Pia. Some of my favourite dishes include the comforting chicken soup, which always warms my soul. The pineapple fried rice is a burst of sweet and savoury flavours that never disappoint. Red curry chicken; it's a perfect balance of spice and creaminess. To start the meal, the vegetable spring rolls are a must-try. The combination of flavors and textures in their dishes is truly amazing. Whether dining in or taking out, Po Pia Thai never fails to impress.

We were visiting Grantown on Spey in our motorhome and had walked out to find something to eat, although we don’t eat meat, we eat fish and shell fish. We had nearly given up looking and came across this little gem of a restaurant. We were lucky enough to be able to order a takeaway, they were fully booked for eat in and as we had dogs we didn’t need that. We ordered a king prawn and a vegetable red Thai curry and plain and king prawn pad Thai. It took us just over 10 minutes to get back to the caravan park and the food stayed really warm. I can honestly say it was one of the best Thai takeaways we have ever had and we’ve had our fair share over the years. The food was beautifully prepared and cooked fresh. If you get the chance to eat in the restaurant, don’t hesitate, I do not believe you would be disappointed.

On my travels, it’s awesome to come across great restaurants and cafes. Read the good review for Po Pia and we decided to try it. We absolutely enjoyed all the dishes that we ordered - Thai mixed platter, duck pancakes, egg fried rice, pad thai, sweet & sour pork, cashew nut stir fry prawn and cashew nut stir fry chicken. Authentic Thai food. Great service as well! Highly recommend it!

Absolutely Fabulous Food & Lovely welcoming staff , would highly recommend , be sure to book as it’s so popular , will be back soon Thankyou !

Ordered a takeaway, phoned through was ready when we arrived, food was really nice, (could have had a larger portion), also very short opening hours but overall no problem and would definitely go back if I'm in the area.

My husband and I visited her when we were holidaying in the area. Saw the reviews and decided to give it a go. I have to say we were not disappointed. We had a sharing starter, everything on there was delicious and it was just a nice size. For mains we decided to share pad Thai, ginger stir fry with beef and massaman chicken curry, it was all amazing. I’m not a massive eater but we polished off the lot! I had planned to take pictures of the food but to be honest once I tasted it I didn’t give a second thought about photographing it! To top everything off the staff were all lovely, really friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

The food tasted great (we had takeaway) but prawn pad Thai came with just three prawns and after checking their menu online later, we discovered we had been over-charged by about 10%. If that was a service charge, that shouldn't be applied to a takeaway. We won't be going back.

Fantastic meal. Everything was delicious and we were so impressed at how they made the effort to accommodate one of our parties food allergies. So kind, helpful and it meant we ALL had a really super meal out together. Super special. Next time we're in the area Po-Pia will definitely be our go-to venue.

Awesome food!!!! We ordered a takeaway and we couldn’t fault it at all. We had a few starters, 2 curry’s and one noodle/rice and was enough to have for two days. Try the pineapple fried rice - WOW. We pre ordered a couple days before and something we pre ordered was no longer available due to deliveries but we were informed and suitable replacements offered. Picked up the takeaway and seemed busy in the restaurant also. Food and service awesome 👌👌

We were really impressed by our visit to the restaurant. The food was first class and freshly cooked. The staff were efficient and friendly. There was a good choice and I thought it was good value

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love Thai food and Po Pia is fantastic!!! We live local so go to Po Pia quite a bit. It’s always our first choice for takeaways. I’m not a veggie, but tend to choose veggie dishes because they are piled high with fresh veg from the local dairy - all the ingredients are such good quality. It’s hard to pick a favourite dish here as everything is so good! I highly recommend Po Pia for great food, lovely welcoming service and a great atmosphere.

Some lovely tastes, definitely - but not at all content to arrive home after collecting food after a long day to find that no rice was included in the order… I phoned to query and the justification was that it said so ‘on the menu’. Bearing in mind that we were visiting, walking in on a recommendation, and hoping for a great meal, we paid £42 for 2 Thai curry’s and an egg fried rice, but were not told that we would need to order supporting rice separately. I had to rustle up other food at home as it simply wasn’t enough for three people. Yes the food was good, tasty but disappointed….

Went into restaurant to order takeaway. Restaurant busy looked nice. Food was clearly freshly made & delicious & authentic - good value. Would definitely return.

Had the flavor but not the full flavor / spices of Thailand. My wife and I had a good evening meal, my wife is Thai and I’ve lived in Thailand for years. As I said it had the real flavor but was very light. A...

Starters and main courses were very good, full of authentic flavours and nicely presented. We will definitely go back on our next visit to the area. It is essential to reserve a table as this is a small but very popular restsurant.

Took a chance on turning up on a Thursday In March & was kindly found a table. What a stroke of luck, the place filled up to capacity & had a nice, busy though roomy feel to it. The food was top drawer, fast efficient...

Our friends recommended we all have dinner together here and it was fantastic. Friendly service, incredible food. I live in the area and didn’t even know about the place. What a hidden gem! Will definitely be returning.

We were a party of four and everyone really enjoyed their meals. The mixed starter gave everyone a chance to sample multiple dishes and the mains were superb. Will certainly eat there again on our next visit to Grantown.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. I don't know authentic Thai food but this was certainly very good.

Out of the 3 restaurants we visited in Grantown, this was our favourite. We had never been to a Thai restaurant before and didn't know much about the various dishes. Our waitress was so helpful and friendly. We both had chicken with oyster sauce and...

This restaurant has nice decor and a good atmosphere for a quiet dinner. Food was generally very good with one exception. The curry dish on special was not good--seemed to be fried chicken tenders in a bland sauce. The Pad Thai and the hot and...

Absolutely fantastic meal. Reasonably priced with excellent service. Attached to the Ben Mhor Hotel a wonderful evening with friends. A menu that was not too extensive but still enough choice for everyone including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. Not being too adventurous as regards "...

Food was excellent and plenty of it. We had the Duck starter and Katsu Curry for main. They where very busy and our waitress Holly worked so hard and always with a smile she deserves a pay rise.

A small but authentic restaurant, I would recommend that you book in advance as this is a small restaurant offering a great meal and very decent proportions. I was very surprised to see so many authentic ingredients in the dishes. Nice food snd fairly priced,...

Not sure where the bad reviewers went for a meal but it certainly wasn't where we went this evening. Excellent food, generous portions, friendly helpful staff and spot on value for money. I couldn't recommend Po Pia more and will certainly be back for more.

Wonderful authentic Thai food, fantastic service despite the restaurant being very busy ! Lovely decor and well spaced tables. I loved it!

Po Pia is only a few minutes drive from our cottage and after seeing the restaurant we checked the TA reviews. Overwhelmingly very good, so we booked. We weren't disappointed! The chicken satay was plentiful and very tasty. Tom Ka soup amongst the best we've...

Fab, we meet friends who had read reviews on the restaurant and wanted to try it. Wow it was superb, delicious food and great service. Will definitely go again when in the area.

We had dinner at Po Pia while spending a couple of days in Grantown-on-Spey. Service was great, however we had to wait for an hour between courses, however this was down to staff shortages due to Covid. It didn’t detract from our enjoyment of the...

Amazing food, Highley recommended! Portion sizes are definitely more than what you pay for! Will be going back soon.

Menu is not huge, but that suggests everything is freshly cooked. Food is fresh and succulent, with all the authentic Thai flavours. A great new addition to the dining scene in Grantown and a great new use of this pub restaurant. Very reasonable prices and...

Lovely find! Just finished a walk and had no problem bringing our dog. Great service, very friendly staff and delicious Thai food!

We ordered a takeaway last night and it was unreal! We ordered different dishes so that we could try a bit of everything and we honestly couldn’t fault anything. Will definitely be back!

The Thai food served here is amazing! I love Thai food and always pick this as an option if it's available when eating out. Po Pia in Grantown has to be one of the best I've been to. The service is excellent, the food tastes...

Just had a meal and have to say it was gorgeous. Food freshly made and very tasty and service was great. Definitely recommend

Po Pia is such a wonderful place to visit. Callie an Bot have worked very hard to make every visit a great experience. The food is incredible, freshly cooked to order, and we left stuffed! Genuinely good food, from genuinely good people!

Honestly the best Thai food I’ve had in my life! Big portions for a very reasonable price and they where delicious! Staff were friendly and helpful and all in all a very enjoyable meal out with family. Thank you Po Pia!!
