Zaap Thai Nottingham in Nottingham

The restaurant is unique - it has a Thai ambiance with cool decorations that remind me of my trips in Thailand. It even has tuk tuks inside where you can dine. The service was attentive and they served my food relatively quickly, which surprised me a bit, considering it was a busy time. I had the Peek Gai Tod (southern style Thai deep fried chicken wings) and Pad Ga Prao (stir fried minced pork with basil and rice). The Peek Gai Tod (£6.95) was one of the most crispiest wings I’ve ever had - it came with a mild sweet sauce that complemented with it well. It didn’t have a unique flavour but the crispiness was the best part of it. The Pad Ga Prao (£13.95) was good, however, the rice was a bit dry. The portion wasn’t too small but it wasn’t also too big. It was the right amount for one person - the flavour wasn’t anything extraordinary but it was a classic. It’s fun to dine in - you can enjoy and admire the decorations while you wait. It offers amazing, large options for vegetarians and I gotta say their menu is fairly extensive. It’s worth to stop by if you want Thai food!

Nice food and great service. Doesn't seem overpriced.

The seating is a bit bad where I sit. Food is good but pricey.

Updated review, still one of the best restaurants in Nottingham! The food at Zaap is always delicious. The staff is very polite. I have been there 3 times and everything was great every time!

Excellent night out. Staff were First Class

Visited for the first time today, food exceeded our expectations and in a great Thai setting. We love Thai food and have been to Thailand many times and this is the closest we have found in this country to feeling like we were in Thailand. Will definitely come back!

First the positives: great decor and vibes with a lively atmosphere. The service is super fast and effective. Unfortunately, the food is just dreadful. I ordered gyoza to start and sent them back after one bite because the usually delicate wrap was so thick it was like eating a digestive. I had the fish cakes as alternative, which were fine but bland and the sweet chillie was just too sweet and thick. Akin to jam. Finally, I ordered the Pad Krapow Gai with a fried egg. The rubbery egg must have been cooked this morning and the food had almost no taste. Not even the chillies were hot. Would not recommend.

The best Thai restaurant I have ever tried and enjoyed outside of Thailand. A 10 in everything.

The kind of place you travel to another city for. With the number of times I've travelled up for the food, I can confirm, you have a regular that lives in London lol Zaap serves one of the most authentic, memorable, and mind-blowingly delicious Thai cuisine experiences in the U.K. The decor, especially the seating in tuktuks will give you a feel of eating in Bangkok! As for the food, you literally can't go wrong here. The starters are my favourite, particularly the fish cutlets and chicken and prawn fried gyoza. The Thai green curry is a firm favourite too, but again there is very little room to go wrong. Note - chicken is halal! If you're in for a friend's birthday, do tell the staff - you'll be in for a treat!!

Fantastic place! Authentic Thai food in a cool environment that really reminded me of my trips to Thailand. Great service and fantastic food!

Absolutely love this place. Food was amazing. Service was fantastic and the place itself is designed brilliantly. Definately worth visiting!

Taste was amazing. Had braised duck in hoisin sauce . Couldve been a bit more tender but was flavoursome. Was above a bed of noodles i couldve had more off but im really nitpicking here. Also had the seafood spicy hotpot, classic thai taste, with level 3 chillies indicated next to it indicating it was v spicy, still left me desiring more spice. But i guess thats tailored to the local culture. Would go again

Tasty, quick, street food. Eat drunken noodles, feel better

Most of the pig's trotter rice is very lean meat, and there is another 20% tax + 1% tip.

I found myself at this wonderful place. They never fail to make a great impression! Every time we visit Nottingham, we end up coming back here. It's always a pleasant experience. Thank you!

I've been here a couple of times, and thoroughly enjoyed it on both occasions. The food is always excellent, and there's a really good range to choose from too. The service is very friendly and welcoming. There's a great atmosphere here too, and I love tuk-tuk themed booths are fun - even if I do struggle to get my fat backside in and out of them!

Really great experience! We got there at 12.30pm and were seated immediately by friendly, welcoming staff. The food was absolutely brilliant! The pork belly was so incredible, we actually ordered a second plate of it. The staff were attentive and really helpful. Very highly recommend indeed!

Nothing short of the best restaurant in Nottingham! Amazing food, fantastic staff (especially Moo), and real ambience.

This is, without competition, the best restaurant in Nottingham. It is on the same level of quality as the best restaurants at Walt Disney World

Great atmosphere. Great food and always great service.

We love it here. Staff is always friendly and kind. Food always is served quickly and of excellent quality. We have been visiting Zaap a couple of times and are always satisfied. Our favourite dish is Green curry with prawns. We also ordered the delivery time by times and always ordered from Zaap. YouTube @LindaKaulina

Went to meet My Daughter in Notts for lunch, She suggested zaap. I have spent a bit of time on Thailand and loved the country, people and cuisine. Safe to say I wasn't disappointed.Will Def be back, thanks to the crew for great food and service 🤙

Very nice food last night. Good to have authentic and spicy dishes. Pad Gra Pow very nice and plenty of holy basil. Som Tam Thai also good. Thai Service with a smile. Well done team Zaap

6 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food here is to die for! I highly recommend the garlic sour pork sausages to start, but be warned, you might have to order a second or third plate of them. I have tried many of the main dishes and I cannot recommend just one, though the noodle soups are a delight. For dessert, go for one of the sticky rice dishes (the mango goes nicely with it to counteract the sweetness). You will not be disappointed with anything you order. Aside from the food, the atmosphere is indulgent and realistic, coinciding with the noise of the kitchen to truly transport you to a busy street in Thailand's cities. The staff are amazing and deserve the most recognition of this entire review. They are friendly, inviting, helpful and are always happy to have a laugh with you. It has been several months since my previous visit and we were remembered - how fabulous!

This restaurant is very authentic and so Thai. The food is delicious, however, I do think they do use a bit of MSG which is not ideal to me personally. The atmosphere is giving Bangkok streetfood market.

I went last night with my friends for my first time. The decor inside was well thought out and it made you feel like you were in the hustle and bustle of a street in Thailand. We were lucky and got to sit in one of the Tuk Tuk booths. It was very busy but we didn’t have to wait long before our food arrived. We were served by Poppy who was so friendly and although she was here there and everywhere, she always had a smile on her face. The food was delicious, not overpriced and we didn’t feel like we were being rushed off our table at all. We got to have a great catch up with our friends in a great environment. I can’t wait to come back

When you arrive at 5:30pm on a Saturday and there's a big queue, you know it's good! Very popular, great food and the staff are really friendly. Recommended

Excellent pre-theatre venue. Quick service and wonderful food. Staff helpful and friendly. Definitely worth another visit.

A must visit for thai street food. Very busy so had a 15 minute wait for a table. Waiting staff were excellent as was the food.

Many Thai restaurants in the UK are not good, but this one is delicious; it has the authentic taste of Thai food

Great food, service and atmosphere.

Lovely staff and great atmosphere. The vibe in the restaurant is just brilliant and a great place for a nice meal and great fun. The food is nice and is basic Thai dishes at a reasonable price. I was disappointed by the spring rolls though so I wouldn't order them. I would definitely come back again.

Went there at night. We parked at the victoria centre and it is only 5 to 10 mins away from the restaurant. Lots of seats and staff greets you at the entrance and brings you to your seat. Great service and everyone is polite and gives us good recommendations. Will definitely go again 💯💯

Great food and experience, food is so nice and beautifully presented. We went as a large group and all meals came out together and hot!

Thai Cha is so niceeee and not expensive, Pad Thai is a bit too sweet but the green curry is quite good, it tastes a bit spicy but not too much, it goes well with chicken. However, I think the Bangkok platter doesn’t taste very good and not worth £16, but the Siu Mai inside is really nice. The mango sticky rice dessert is ok but the mango we had is not the good one, when we flip over, it looks black in the middle. Overall, the environment is so satisfying, it feels like you’re in the middle of Thailand street and there’s many options, literally a lot, we spent half an hour to study the menu. Next time, I’ll try the Tum Yum Soup!

Still brilliant after all these years! Haven’t been here really since early on in covid until last week - have to say that the food, set up and staff are as good as ever. Love this place - keep up the great work

Amazing Thai food with nice decor

Not authentic thai place, ambiences was stinking, Huge menu splatter but everything almost taste the same & Food is not good either. Over priced. I wont recommend unless u personally like something there, definitely not for vegetarians, chicken's Egg included as vegan choice.

We love thai foods, a warm place and nice service

I really love this place! My second visit to Zaap having found it by chance on a previous work visit. This time I made a point of finding it. I wouldn’t say I am adventurous but the food is lovely. I had coconut and chicken soup then beef red curry and finished off with battered banana. You can’t not really. The vibe and buzz about the place is brilliant and the staff are so lovely. Until my next business trip down here again, keep it up Zaap!

Had the most amazing meal here whilst away for my wife's birthday. The atmosphere was incredible as soon as we walked in, and our server was very attentive. I was also very surprised by both the quality of the food for the price, as well as how quickly they got the food out to us after ordering. Thank you for a lovely experience, we both hope to visit again in the future

I'm disappointed that Zaap have started to add an 'optional service charge' to their bill. This took the bill from £81.30 to £89.93 so maybe 11% at a rough guess. When did this begin? It has put me off going back. I've enjoyed taking friends & family there over the years. Surely one should tip if the service has been exceptional. It should not be added onto the bill to be discovered later.

What a fantastic restaurant! The menu is extensive and delicious. The staff are really attentive and the decor is so unique. Just like being back in Thai food markets!

lovely food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere!! the restaurant is well set up and decorated beautifully.

Amazing place. Just like being in Thailand. They do salak tea and Thai tea!

The decoration is amazing. Food is good, but I would prefer bigger portion for that price.

Superb venue, excellent service and food. Highly recommended.

Really bussin food, ordered food and I blinked and food appeared in front of me deffo coming here again

Always amazing food and service levels

Second visit and this time the summer menu fried chicken was a hit very juicy and well seasoned. The vibes don’t live up to the full potential as it’s clear staff are asked to keep things moving and even when the place isn’t busy will rush things along. The optional service charge that doesn’t feel optional because you’d have to ask and explain why not if you don’t want to pay it as it is automatically added. I always think that’s in poor taste. So your bill will get more pricey however the food is well worth the visit.

Really tasty food! So many things on the menu to try!

The atmosphere, service and most importantly the taste of the food was truly delicious - for all of us, even my 6 and 9 year old. And so much fun to explore in the place. We can’t wait to visit again!

A very authentic atmosphere, with your tuc to eat inside, the food was not right, but good.

The restaurant is centrally located in Nottingham town centre and easy to get to. As for inside the restaurant, the decor is gorgeous and the detail down to the booth we sat in enhanced the experience, making it feel very authentic. A breadth of choice was listed in the menu, ranging in spice levels. The prawns were plentiful in my dish and there were plenty of fish dishes as a choice for Muslim customers such as my friend. The depth of flavour in the dishes was superb and the portion sizes left nothing to be desired. Staff were friendly too. Our basket of prawn crackers was very large and perfect to share one between the whole table.

Never been before, everything was spot on,will definitely be coming back

I've been here three times and usually enjoy the food, especially the Tom Yum soup, which is why I returned. This time, I ordered Tom Yum soup with noodles and chose the mild spice level, but I found the soup a bit too sour. We also ordered the Pad Thai Bo Ran, but it was quite chewy. I mentioned it to the waitress, and she explained that if it were softer, it wouldn't cook properly. However, I still felt it was too hard. Aside from these, the other dishes were nice as usual.

The environment is excellent and feeling like in Thailand. Food is good and I love Thai boat noodle. The staff is nice but little bit rush as we once finished the food, the waitress collected and asked us want to check bill or not. But overall is a good restaurant!

I have been to this restaurant several times and i can honestly say I have been more than pleasantly pleased. The food is delicious. The staff are energetic and fun, Thai music and general decor really makes it feel like you are eating at a genuine street food restaurant in Thailand.

A themed restaurant - colourful and vibrant. Quick service, tasty food, large seating area. Visited them several times and always loved it!

First time coming to this restaurant. Was a bit confusing to find due to outside construction. However, once I got inside, I instantly noticed these cars like tables, a great idea, and the atmosphere is cosy. I ordered the lunch menu chicken pad thai and sweet corn cakes, which were delicious. Also, I tried the sweet mango pudding for the first time. It's nice, but slightly too sweet for me. Overall 9/10, 100% recommend 😊✨️

Was a very nice and clean place the food was like you was sat in a Thai restaurant in Bangkok

Absolutely fantastic concept prefectly executed 💪

Probably the best thai restaurant around. Location is lovely, staff is great, fast delivery and hefty food portions, all for a pretty good price.

Service was so quick. Food was delicious, went back a second time! Price is reasonable as well. Lots of vegetarian options and some could be made vegan as well

Food was absolutely amazing. Sea bass was beautifully cooked with the perfect combination of sweet, sour and chilli!!

the food was amazing and the service was fast and the staff were incredibly polite

We went here last night as a group of 13 for our anniversary and it was absolutely amazing, the food, the atmosphere and the staff, cannot fault it and can't wait to go back and a huge thank you to Mo, she made our night...."lovely".

Some different Great service Very nice food

Very good food and really good quality. Like the inside of the venue and very well thought out. Open kitchen and you can see what's being cooked Really big menu with lots of choice , starters. We had 3 between two and mains. We had two and was more than enough. Total cost around 60 including drinks. But you could just have a main if you wanted to . But we wanted to try lots of small bites. Very busy. No booking system but only had to wait 10 mins and that was at 7pm on a Saturday

I order fish rice and fried curry sauce , I called the service to inform them, I ordered through deliveroo. But they could not send out another order as the one I ordered is really salty

I have been here because my friends choose it. I usually don't eat Thai or Chinese, but it has been a great experience. Good food, fast and kind.

The food is really good. The atmosphere is lovely. It makes you feel like you're in one of Bangkok's street restaurants

Great food - and really cool decor. Worth finding - it’s hidden behind Park Plaza Hotel.

Very nice place I feel like go to Thailand and taste street food

Fab atmosphere, fast friendly service and reasonable prices. Food is amazing. Have been a few times and never let down. One of few places that seems to have maintained their standards and quality since they opened.

We had a nice night. It was my birthday treat. The food was lovely. But the service seemed rushed, it was a quiet Monday night so no hurry to get us off the table but we were rushed to order and they wanted to remove our starters before we had finished as the mains were ready. It cost 145 for 4 with a beer each.. not bad for good food. But we got home and looked at the receipt to circle our favourites for next time. We had been charged an “optional” service charge, without being asked. The staff knew it was my birthday and when I went to pay I never thought to ask to see a breakdown of the bill. It just seems rude to not ask.. if they had we would happily have paid it! A real shame..

Delicious food, attentive staff and fun decorations. There were so many excellent options that we'll be back just to be able to try more!

you can get a seat in the turk turk, great experience. Food is good. Service is good. Recommend👍🏻

Went today with my friends for dinner , the food arrived fast and tom yum soup was really delicious, but other main we got was chicken, it was very very very dry , it stuck in my friends throat and she had to drinks lots of water to swallow it , we didn’t ate any more of that as it was super dry , The manager or supervisor came in the end , gave us the refund and was very helpful.

Food arrived in 7 minutes! Amazing service and nice yummy food. Lots of variety too, good for vegetarians. Also, we accidentally left some sunglasses there and they were so helpful in returning them to us 👍

Lovely place to visit with tasty food experiences. Usually get the grilled seabass with jasmine rice, which is a great meal and banana fritters for dessert. Tried the mango sticky rice for the first time and will definitely recommend!!! Absolutely delicious

Amazing choice of food available, including for Vegetarians. We visited on a Saturday (late afternoon) and service was good. We enjoyed two veggie starters and two mails. All tasty, full of flavour and good value for money.

Can't get enough of this place, and the service and food is always to a high standard

Fantastic wonderful delicious. Great atmosphere. Definitely be back.

Fantastic place to go for Thai food at a good price

Hidden Optional service charge was added to our bill £5 without our knowledge. Don’t think they deserve it. Be careful everyone. It was only noticed after leaving the place. I thought this was the UK and not America…. Hiding the prices…….. service charges should be part of the of the meal cost and not an extra… if an extra we should be asked at the time of the bill.

It was very yummy and portion size was really good.

Excellent!!! Can’t go wrong! Thai food at its best

Delicious Thai food, really fast and friendly service. Fun and unique theme which makes it a cool experience

I got transported to Thailand like I envisioned from movies I watch. Tasty food, great drinks, lovely staff and great environment. I can't wait to go back.

Definitely one of the best thai restaurants in the UK. Price is reasonable for the quality of food you get.

Fantastic place for authentic Thai street food in the centre of Nottingham . The spring rolls were superb as were the gyozas.

Lots of choices for vegan and meat eater from Malaysia who also loved the place amd its authenticity.

I celebrate a friend's birthday there and they sing the Thai version with drums. Excellent service.

Always great food and service. Able to try different food and these lots to choose from, probably the only issues is I can't eat all I fancy in one visit. But great to return to and will be going again.

Not a cheap dining experience (not crazy expensive either) but the food was absolutely delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was busy but not overwhelming. I'll come back here when I'm treating myself to something special.

Lots of choice in menu. Restaurant quite big but better to book online than walk in. Food is ok for me.

My daughter’s boyfriend took 3 of us for her Birthday. Fantastic and they even came out singing Happy Birthday to her

Food and service are good, but VAT is 20%

Been twice now, lovely food and great fast service both times, Moo was lovely, defo coming back
