Nok's Kitchen in Edinburgh

We had our best meal here on a tour of UK. We were pleasantly surprised by such an authentic Thai restaurant here that provided great food, friendly quick service and atmosphere. The chef's signature grilled chicken curry get our thumbs up! Pad Thai and chicken satay were excellent too. It is right below the entrance to the castle.

Delicious Thai restaurant with pineapple fried rice - that's so important to me. Sadly they didn't serve mango sticky rice that night I visited. But the black sticky rice was good, too. The portion may be a wee bit smaller than expected.

We had small plates with small servings. The prices are therefore not justifiable. As far as I can remember most main dishes start at £11.50. We had to order rice separately! Each small bowl for £3.25. So we were at almost £15 per small main dish.The person responsible for the beverages filled the ice cubes into our glasses with his bare fingers....not very appetising as his hands were everywhere else behind the bar.Then the worst part: My boyfriend paid voluntarily almost £3.00 gratuities. As we walked out we took a closer look at the invoice (he took a picture). There was an additional £3.39 discretionary charge. The waitress didn't point out to us that she already charged us 10% more. So they sacked £6.00 into their pockets. I hope it was worth it. We won't be back.

If you love truly authentic Thai food in gorgeous surroundings then don't miss this little place. The food is exceptional, as is the attentive but unobtrusive service. Amazing flavours, beautifully presented, we could not fault it. We cannot wait to eat here again tomorrow. If we lived here in Stockbridge we would be regular visitors! Top Noc (notch) 😊.

I walked by this restaurant the other day and I was immediately captivated by the early 17th century building, a rare gem in this part of Edinburgh. Then I saw it was full to the brim on a Monday night and I knew then and there that it was a restaurant worth trying.I tried today with my partner for my 30th birthday and I couldn’t have been happier. Not only the venue was cozy, the food was in a league different from any Asian restaurant I have tried in Edinburgh - perhaps only comparable to Karen’s Unicorn, but this one beats for very reasonable prices considering the quality and the care of the presentation.The food was served in a very timely manner and everting, from presentation to flavours, was so well thought of. And because it was my birthday they had a beautiful detail for dessert that made my heart leap. In one night I have certainly become a loyal customer. Thanks a lot Nok!!

Found this place by searching Google for 'best Thai in Edinburgh'... not disappointed, in fact probably one of the best Thai restaurants anywhere! Great food, good service, well priced and a lovely cosy atmosphere too. Twenty minutes walk from the city centre but well worth it, plus it helps to work an up appetite anyway! Recommended!

Wow! Where do I begin? Nok's kitchen "Nokked" my socks off! :-P It was absolutely incredible! I loved the variety of choice they had, everything very authentic and high quality. They put such effort into presentation, even cutting the vegetables into flowers! I really do recommend getting the sharing platter to start, because you get to try a little of everything. My food was amazing, such complex flavours and presented in such a delicate way. I can't wait to return. Prices are so reasonable for this level of restaurant, which surely must be among the very best Thai eateries in the UK, if not Europe. It's not decorated in a fancy way, and it doesn't try to be anything other than a simple neighborhoud Thai restaurant, but even the harshest critic couldn't fail to be overwhelmingly impressed by the food ingenuity, quality and presentation here.

Good value lunch. Ordered Tom Yum Chicken and Chicken Green Curry. Both good portion size with lots of chicken. Soup was quite salty and nothing special but the green curry was very creamy and flavoursome. Not very spicy.

อร่อยมาก Very delicious food! The building dates from 1603, which means it was built around the time of the peak of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. Obviously the building wasn't a Thai restaurant back then...

Lovely little place in Stockbridge serving great Thai food.Mixed starter platters can sometimes be really weak offering very little, but Nok go all out! Amazing value, fantastic presentation and great tasting food.Soft Shell Crab Yellow Curry was awesome with not just 1, but 2 crabs! Could be a bit spicier, but can't fault the taste. And Edinburgh must.
