The best restaurants serving Asian food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Genuine Afghan cuisine but we found very oily (ghee) and didn't realise it was a dry bar only!

The boss is very nice! Eat the most cost-effective hot pot with fresh seafood in the UK. The rules are clear, and you can add whatever you want at any time. Strongly recommend razor clams.

We went in for a snack. It's average. It has a large bar and tables and chairs. The portions are satisfying, the prices are reasonable, and the taste is very good.

My wife, my 6 months old son, and I stopped at this place 22 years ago for look around, and we were caught off guards by the shop owner and his wife, who invited us with the best and tastiest cup of tea with some homemade chilli dip. This pleasant experience still carries its ripple with us 22 years on. To the gracious shop owner and his wife, thank you so much for the great experience and May God Almighty bless you and grant you all your wishes. 🌹

We were treated like they knew us our entire lives. The food was authentic and some of the best Indian food we’ve eaten. Thought the prices were good also. Please don’t hesitate to try this restaurant.

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. We were a group of 4 - two couples - and visited on Saturday night. I had booked well in advance and had both text and email confirmations of my booking which was effective. I have been to the Glasgow restaurant and so expected the food to be excellent and it was - the whole restaurant is lovely and it’s fairly big so a bit more space at each table that some other Thai restaurants in town - like say Dusit - where the food is great but all tables a bit cramped. We arrived early and had a seat by the bar where the bar staff took an order and brought drinks across - and added to the Table Bill - very slick. We had the set menu - Chaophraya- and it was fantastic - the states were amazing especially the pancakes and spring rolls. The three main dishes were really good choice - Chicken was spectacular, Duck brilliant and the Lamb curry was good. We don’t usually take dessert but it was included in the set meal - and it was brilliant too On the Saturday the restaurant was very busy and the first course was a bit slow to come out - but they told us the kitchen was busy and it was fine. We had the table booked until 9pm - per the booking - but they never rushed us at all and we left about 9.30pm. Service was good - and the waiters explained the dishes but didn’t linger - we liked that. Excellent location in centre of the city , excellent food and good service.

This was hands down the best meal I had while I was visiting Edinburgh. I had the Philly Cheese steak loaded fries and it was so yummy! I took my meat eater of a partner and they had the vegan chipotle mac and cheese and agreed it was their best meal of the holiday also! Go there, you won't be disappointed!

This place has just amazing food! I had one of their signature dishes, and it was worth a try. Sorry to say, but if I didn't read about it on Tripadvisor up front, I would definately passed by. But despite an anonymous front, they mantain a good atmosphere inside. So close to the busy Royal Mile, still the friendly staff manage to create a relaxed experience.

The most amazing ramen (Hakata-Ya) I’ve ever had in my life. The broth is delicious, full of flavour and perfectly balanced. Ordered plum sake instead of a cocktail and was absolutely happy with my choice. The service is 5 starts, very attentive staff, polite and caring. Highly recommend!

Excellent authentic Chinese noodle place. The couple that run the place are lovely.

5 out of 5 for the food - we tried the massaman curry and noodle soup, and couldn't fault either. You should be aware the restaurant isn't licensed, so you need to bring any alcohol you want to drink (and I guess they charge corkage) - fine for us, as we don't drink, and there were soft drink options. The reason I've given this 4 out of 5 is because of the booking system - there's an online booking system, which indicates you're making an actual booking, but you get an automated email back saying that it's not a booking and the restaurant will confirm, which they didn't. We decided to turn up anyway at our requested time and there were spaces, but didn't get the impression they had our booking. Food was worth it though.

It was so good , really a hidden gem I loved the food there and it’s really and it made me feel very comfortable. I loved it . I would definitely go again.

I was last here about two years ago, just after the pandemic, the food then was absolutely superb. Visiting Edinburgh again , I just had to visit this restaurant again and I was so happy to see that they are not only still open, but thriving ! The food is absolutely phenomenal, so fresh and full of flavour. I live in London and have access to many great Thai restaurants but none of them compare to this modest, family run and friendly restaurant. It does take away but I don’t think they deliver to London, if they did…. I would ! This restaurant is as good as any Nichelin Star restaurant I have been to, which brings me into the fact that Thai 2 Go, Edinburgh, is well deserved of a Michelin star !

Quite a mixed review here! Parts of Ooh Mami I liked and other parts need improving. The extensive drinks menu is exciting, the decor is quirky and the quiz was great fun! The bar is dog friendly too which is a bonus. The service was really quite slow unfortunately. It was table service but we found we had to just go up and order as there wasn’t many checks at the table. Food took a while to come too. The loaded fries weren’t really loaded, they just had a sprinkling of coconut on top, the sticky, honey glaze was non-existent. A few tweaks here and there and I would definitely review more positively.

Was there with friend and partner for a small thai dinner, the food was good specially Tom Yum Soup , although our main course was confused it was quickly amended and was also provided some prawn cracker, overal a good experience ambience and food.
