tingthai-CARAVAN Lothian Road in Edinburgh, City of

Great food and atmosphere, a fun place to eat!

The food is generally very good here, I get takeaway from here most weeks.

If your crush takes you to ting thai, you're on the right track. Massala curry is always a good choice. They go fast, good quantity, good price, good atmosphere, good free water service. And of course, they comply with the cliché of Edinburgh and modern place, to have a waiter with a mullet and a moustache. Very good option for gluten free people. Thanks for that Ting Thai, always on my list of comfort places.

Lovely food- obsessed with the roti sauce. Natasha was our server and she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the food.

Visiting from Cali and was glad to have found this place. Food was delish😋😋😋 and service was great!!!

The waiter was so annoying. When she knew that we are not Scottish she treated us so bad.

We lucked out at coming during a slower period. The food was amazing! My sister and I both enjoyed our vegetarian, gluten free options (of which there were many)! When we walked by an hour so later the place was packed. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Amazing authentic Thai food, a must try. Green Thai was unreal.

Food was good as always, however I don’t think an hour is anywhere near long enough for a booking. It would have been nice if I had known this when we arrived (or made clearer when I booked!) I pretty much wolfed down my food quickly & gulped the rest of my wine to finish it so we could leave before the next booking was due. I think having a meal should be a relaxing experience.

My expectations were low on the way but once I realised that we were not going to be eating in a caravan tings went straight to 5 stars. The staff were so helpful when selecting food and the food was great. 10 out of 10.

love love love. come every week and i love it!!!

This was such an amazing place. tash was such an amazing host every team member was really friendly and the service was fast, the food was beautiful I would recommend it to anyone.

We had a meal last night ( group of 6) The service was amazing,the ladies names were tasha and Asha. We actually had a slight problem with one of the meals and it was dealt with so promptly and quickly. Defo go back 🙏💯

La mejor comida tailandesa que hemos probado. Están ocupados por una razón, un montón de cabos y comer en los clientes. Buscamos comida tailandesa dondequiera que viajemos y esto era lo mejor todavía (aunque no he estado en Tailandia)

Great spot! Super fun place to go with friends and the food is delicious, service is great the staff is very engaging and friendly!

Amazing meal! Excellent service - would definitely recommend :)

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food! I can recommend the Massaman Curry - num, num, num!

Amazing service, amazing food!!! Strongly recommend

Service= stunning Food= stunning Vibe= stunning They are really accomodating and the music is great

Great food really reasonable prices . Meal for 3 people under £100 including a bottle of wine & glass of Prosecco . Basic seating . Would highly recommend .

Un poco decepcionante como se había recomendado! La comida era lo suficientemente sabrosa, pero no la más cálida. El restaurante en sí estaba un poco frío, mantuve mi abrigo puesto al igual que el resto de los comensales.

Very very very affordable, and really good food. Definitely recommended. I’ll be coming back!

great service, both waiters were lovely! the food is also great + the portions are lovely for the price

Deliveroo order - liquid had soaked through the takeaway packaging and paper bag. Food was ruined apart from the sweetcorn fritters which have changed recipe and now very greasy and stodgy. Very disappointing!

Food is always unreal! Super lively and social atmosphere which is so nice! The only thing is that the music was a tinyyy bit too loud and it can be hard to talk to eachother sometimes! Our server tasha was so friendly and attentive!

Waiter, Ashah very good customer service and food was amazing. Would highly recommend!

So cool, The lady was so so nice!!

Good food, good place, nice staff. I am thankful to have a thai food restaurant here in Edinburgh. Wish they had the spicy thai chicken feet salad though, but I understand people here don’t eat that part of the chicken. 😂 … Overall, 5 stars!!! Keep it up!!! ❤️

Los langostinos de entrada eran jugosos y sabrosos aunque muy rebozados. Ambos platos principales eran a base de cerdo. El cerdo estaba tan sobrecocido que era duro como una roca y no podía ser mordido. Ningún personal vino a comprobar que todo estaba bien y no ofreció ninguna reducción para las comidas que eran claramente insatisfactorios. Hubo una corriente fría cuando los clientes entraban y salían haciendo que la comida se enfriara rápidamente

Popped in for lunch when passing, food is to die for!! Really enjoyed it

Gran comida tailandesa fresca y auténtica y grandes porciones. Era un poco extraño comer fuera de las cajas en lugar de usar platos, pero la comida seguía siendo buena. Merece la pena una visita si te gusta la comida tailandesa.

Only ordered take away, but im always amazed by the size of the portions, food is excellent and very well priced. Pad thai and Massaman curry is very good

The best pad Thai I’ve had in the UK

Great food. Pad Thai was the best ever had. Very satisfying

The massaman curry and rice was pretty good. The pad thai had so many dry chilli flakes, it was practically inedible. My throat and lips were burning. Not pleasant, very uncomfortable. It's a shame as I have had the pad thai from here on more than 5 occasions, either sit in or delivery, but this time it was not good. The bottom of the container had over a teaspoon of chilli flakes still in it. UPDATE: In response to the Owner, on this occasion, my purchase was by delivery, so there was no refund for the dish or replacement, so I feel like one of your staff members has either been mistaken and this has in fact happened to another customer as well, or is telling fibs

We had the beef salad, chicken skewers and Thai crackers followed by a red and yellow Thai curry. All excellent. We are coming back before our trip to Edinburgh ends...

Delicious food at fair price! Friendly staff and cool atmosphere.

I got a take-away chicken green curry and coconut rice. There was about half a chicken breast in there, Ting Thai could do better for the money they're charging.

Food not good but not too expensive. Good atmosphere but curry tasted like pea soup and noodles were not great

Good food, very mixed bag on service. Not the most welcoming place.

Fast and good service. Very varied food.

We sat by the window which was freezing because there is no insulation whatsoever and the glass is very thin. 2/4 dishes were cold upon arrival. Also one thing that left us a uneasy was that the waiter handed us the soup which was filled to the brim and his fingertip touched the liquid. Overall, not satisfied.

Great food and really friendly staff :)

If you get a chance to go here, do!! We had to wait for a while but it was completely worth it and the food was phenomenal.

Staff is lovely and food amazing!

Some great food but let down by not being very well-run. They didn’t have the drink I ordered, or the second choice I went for, and they ran out of lager while pouring my friend’s pint so another friend had to have something different instead of lager. Another friend ordered the IPA and it never arrived, even though he did ask the waiter two more times for it. They then put through the wrong dish for me so I had to send it back and they then cooked the thing I’d actually ordered but it arrived after all my friends had finished eating and so they were just waiting for me. The first (wrong) dish was not nice - some kind of broth - but the second (correct) one - beef noodle soup - was good, although so salty that I couldn’t finish it. My friends enjoyed their food. Overall I wouldn’t bother going back.

Absolutely excellent food and brilliant customer service. Would definitely come here again!

Tenía el curry verde tailandés. Dicen que se come con los ojos y la presentación fue hermosa y atractiva. El sabor tampoco decepcionó. Excelente. Desearía haber tomado una foto ahora! Gran ambiente relajado también.

Food was nice. We tried this place our visit last week. Food and ambience were good but we were disappointed by their service. We were given a different menu which had cheaper prices -which was probably their day menu or weekday menu(their mistake). Once we asked for the bill, we noticed that the prices were higher than for what we had ordered, which is when we asked for the menu again. This time the staff got us the menu with higher prices (probably their weekend menu or evening menu) and 4 of us had to pay a higher amount as they pointed that the (new menu) rates were correct. This left us a bit disappointed by their service.

This restaurant was so cute! The staff was very pleasant, the atmosphere cozy, and the pad Thai was delicious!

Staff were lovely. Food outstanding, the best food I’ve had for a long time. Flavours amazing. Thank you for making our trip to Edinburgh so special. We love places like this.

Este lugar estaba tan ocupado el miércoles que fuimos. Vale la pena esperar, pero fuimos bendecidos por la encantadora chica Galway nos hizo sentarnos. La comida era estupenda. Tuve la lubina al igual que mi primo nos encantó, lo recomiendo encarecidamente, mi hermana tenía un plato de pollo que era encantador también.

Very long wait for food and one meal completely inedible on arrival. Hard to rate other than 1 star. Very poor experience

Disfrutamos de una excelente almohadilla de pollo tailandés aquí. Vinimos para una comida rápida para llevar, el personal era genial, dirigiéndome al bar donde mi pedido fue rápidamente tomado y pronto entregado. La comida estaba caliente y deliciosa. El restaurante era acogedor, gran lugar para una cita, reunirse con amigos o entretener a la familia.

Great vibe, super friendly staff - food is Blinkin delicious! I love that fact they use boxes to serve some food. How clever and all about recycling! Plus, less washing up! A little different. Not traditional - that’s what makes it special. Thoroughly recommend!

We come here all the time on our lunch breaks and we love it! Pad Thai with a soft egg is always a winner.

I go there very regularly and I am always very happy. The food is delicious and authentic. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend!! Amazing food, cheap eats and friendly staff

Nuestra mesa estaba cerca de la pared, en una pequeña cabina. Buen punto de vista. Hora de comer muy ocupada. Tuvimos una gran comida - pero definitivamente comimos en exceso - currys rojos y verdes tailandeses y también un pad thai entre 2 de nosotros. Realmente lo disfruté y tiene un precio razonable.

The Pad Thai had no real flavour apart from burnt oil. It also feels wasteful to serve food in takeaway boxes to people who are sitting in. The music was way too loud, but staff was friendly and helpful

The standards for service are out of this world. The staff are amazing and always accommodate the services you need. Fantastic people overall should really visit this place!

The staff are amazing! Throughly enjoyed my night- will definitely be back!

Food was amazing, service even better - thank you Tasha and Ashah!!!

Great atmosphere & funky design. Food was solid but could be better. Missing in action - Thai basil, mint, coriander & lemongrass. Otherwise great place for lunch or dinner. Funky vibe.

Normalmente Ting Thai ofrece una gran relación calidad-precio, comida de estilo callejero. Hemos comido aquí un par de veces en el pasado y normalmente la comida es buena. Desafortunadamente, esta vez fue pobre. Las gambas burbuja normalmente excepcionales estaban sobre cocinadas y rodeadas de una masa flácida - no la excelencia crujiente de visitas anteriores. Los platos principales eran indiferentes, sin los sabores ponzoñosos limpios que el restaurante normalmente ofrece. Esperemos que esto fuera solo una mancha, ya que inevitablemente el personal varía - espero que recojan las cosas la próxima vez.

Superb food and staff. I had belly pork in massaman sauce with potatoes and peanuts and it was beautiful. My wife had pork moo yang (I think!!!) We also had chicken wings, boiled eggs, and sweetcorn fritters, and all of them were very good indeed. We also both had drinks. Staff were also very good, and service could not be faulted. We will definitely be back.

The BEST Thai food and great value! I come here every time I'm in Edinburgh and have also eaten at the Teviot Place branch. The music is a bit on the loud side, but with the wooden stools and stark decor, that's the sort of vibe they're going for. It has a relaxed, casual vibe and some of the food is served in boxes, just to note in case that bothers you. It's the best though! The service is good at Ting Thai and they have loads of great dishes, including ones you don't normally find on Thai restaurant menus in the UK. It's far better and much more authentic than places like Chaopraya in my opinion. I had crispy chicken with a spicy chilli sauce over rice, but their noodle soups, beef salad, curries etc are fantastic too. It's really You won't be disappointed with anything you order here, and if you come before 6pm the food is even cheaper with a lot of dishes under £10. I dream about this place sometimes, don't hesitate to go. I'm obsessed.

Very popular Thai restaurant. Decor is funky. Enjoyed the food.

Absolutely delicious and authentic Thai food. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere and the service is very good. We were served by Bea and she did a great job.

Ting Thai was absolutely great! The food was incredible and the waitresses were so lovely and friendly, deffo a great place to go

I have been in ting thai Lothian Road today 5.10.2024 at 16:40 and I have to say food is original - like in Thailand (tasty and worth to come ) but service /waitress was extremely rude (no please ,no thank you , no sorry when the food came different than ordered) unfortunately it was not the first time but for the first time I thought that was one off . I know it is a street food experience but street level service should changed at least minimum of manners please. Today I was in ting thai Lothian street on 5 10.2024 at 16:40 and I must say that the food is authentic - just like in Thailand. (delicious and worth coming) but the service/waitress was very rude (no please, no thank you, no apology when food came different from what was ordered). Unfortunately this is not the first time. But for the first time I thought that was a mistake. I know it's a street food experience. But street level service should change at least minimum manners.

Food so nice we returned the next day !

Thanks to Google reviews, I found this place. I wasn't disappointed! Pad Thai is delicious!!! Lots of delicious sauce, al dente pasta, expressive, spicy, huge shrimps :) And Yam Sam Krob - shrimps again (what!), squid and crisps topped with a nice spicy sauce. Fried, not rubbery! Excellent!!! Close to perfect 9/10 ;)

Picked up a click and collect tofu thai green curry to take home - tasted just as good and fresh as sitting in. Great service, really efficient - cheers to Hamish!

Fast, casual, with a real buzz to the atmosphere. The line-up moves quickly, the food is hot and fresh, the service is friendly. So it has all of the attributes of a good "quick casual" restaurant. We visited during the first week of students arriving back to Uni so there was a young and excited demographic eating there.

This is a great dinner spot! Bea was a fantastic waitress and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back again

Incredible place for a quick bite or a group meal out. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Service is fast and the food is top notch. Best Thai food I’ve had so far, cannot recommend more.

Food is tasty! But at what price? - They serve food in cardboard boxes full of forever chemicals/PFAS (Google how good they are for your health) with boiling hot food inside, even if you eat-in and specifically ask for a plate. - They prefer to discard a ton of non reusable boxes of rubbish per day to avoid cleaning up the dishes. Stop profiting on the environment.

Delicious food, great people, good prices.

I had such a lovely time at this restaurant. The staff were beyond helpful and extremely friendly. The food was delicious and came out so quick! Will definitely be back.

Popped in for a quick lunch, service was first class and our servers Ashah Tash and Hannah couldn't do enough for you. More than happy to talk us through the menu and give their recommendations. I had the pad ka phrao with seafood and it was out of this world. Fantastic afternoon will definitely be back.

Amazing food and good price. Good range of vegan choices available as well

Surprisingly good. I went there with my son last week. Great service and very reasonably priced. Tasty, simple food with no frills. Very good indeed for a fast food restaurant and no pressure to rush off.

Best thai food I've ever had outside Thailand, great authentic dishes, good atmosphere, lovely staff ,great prices loved it

brilliant food,, very very helpfuLL staff,, great music,, food is always awesome and not extortionate like most of the food places during the festival,, i always go there when i'm at the Festival,,,,,,,tom,

Giving 3 stars as been coming here for years but for a while now the pad thai I normally order barely has any veg in it and the noodles are overcooked. I paid £8.90 for my lunch today, which is a lot of money for just a box of noodles and few pieces of tofu. I love this place so I hope the management reads the review and makes positive changes in the kitchen. Service is always fab!

Came here as I was seeing a fringe show. The most friendly staff! The girls were so busy but made sure we were looked after and couldn’t have been nicer. food was very tasty! Had the Jungle soup and the bubble prawns. Would really recommended this place if you are visiting Edinburgh!!

Best Thai food outside of Thailand, 100% the best in Edinburgh!

The chicken dish with jasmine rice was extremely dry and probably from previous days as it was cold inside and tasted of cardboard. Rice was good. Also the menu says 5pounds for pint but I paid 6.80 for some reason.

Great food. Efficient staff. Good atmosphere. Will be recommending for sure

Hands down the best massaman curry I have ever had in my entire life.

Been here a few times and have always had a great experience. Last time I was in I was served by a lovely girl called Natasha. Defo would recommend!

Highly recommend. The food was amazing & Natasia who served us was very helpful.

Have used the Ting Thai Caravan on several occasions, have noticed the food quality is going down. On last visit, we noticed the menu price had gone up by a large percentage. When waiting to be served, the waitress continually ran her finger through her hair. When she served our food, I noticed that her thumbs were in the food bowl and also saw the same happening with other customers. Therefore I will not be visiting this place anymore.

Anyone who’s reviewing this 5 stars obviously hasn’t had proper authentic Thai food. We had 5 dishes and it was the worst Thai food I’ve had in Scotland. Nice atmosphere and service was decent but food was full of msg and packet sauces. Chicken and pork was dry and tasteless. Tom yum was clearly out a packet. More like tomato soup. Very disappointed as we walked a long way for it after seeing it on food review club ( who clearly haven’t got a clue) and we won’t be back.

Amazing flavourful food the yellow and red curry definite favourites !!!! X

This restaurant has an amazing atmosphere. Everyone is very relaxed, this creates an amazing environment to eat in. My friend and i thought the prices were amazing for the amount of food given. The pad Thai tasted great and had a lot of shrimp too! Staff where friendly and always open to help if i had any questions.

Went in by chance but food was excellent and staff really friendly. Will def go back

Gorgeous food, and amazing service will be back!

Have dined in and had a take away. Food is delicious every time. Great staff, warm, friendly and very helpful. Always smiling.
