Food and service was simply amazing. We had the £66 set menu (which includes a glass of wine with each of the four courses) which was delicious. A tip - if you stay at the Royal Lancaster Hotel you get 20% off the bill. We will definitely be going back!
I’m not going to lie, it’s been a while now since I last had a good Thai meal in London. I had an astonishingly good one not so long ago in Dubai, but before that my last memorable experience was a little place in Barnes – and that was three years ago. But all that has changed as I’ve discovered Nipa Thai. A glamorous Thai restaurant inside the Royal Lancaster London Hotel.
A nice Thai restaurant in west London. Besides blue elephant I haven't found many other good ones. The Tom young goon is usually a great measure and this one was spicy and tasty in good measure. Fresh ingredients for all the dishes helps greatly with good service too
I love Thai food and along with Vietnamese food, the freshness of the ingredients takes the dishes to another level. . Nipa Thai is the place where Thai embassy staff go to eat so trusting their knowledge and tastes I booked this place for my fathers birthday. Located in the Lancaster Hotel in west London and a few drinks to celebrate down we went to eat.
Nipa is the best place to have Thai in London. I must have visited this place atleast 20 times and yet I haven't found one instance when the food has been bad or the service not upto the mark. The place is centrally located on the first level of Lancaster London Hotel.
Some of their best things to try are Chicken Satay, Tom Kha Kai, Phad Kra Prao. You just cant miss Tom Kha if you plan to go there. Its a lovely feel to have a hot and delicious Tom Kha in this cold weather!
However, having said all the good things, this place has got its management changed recently and the prices have been hiked considerably! The portions seem to have evaporated by 10% and the staff seems a bit cautioned to offer more to the customers. For me that takes away the half point from getting a complete five!

This is the best Thai food I’ve ever had. We found this place through Google and when we arrived and noticed it was in a hotel, we were skeptical… But walking into Nipa transported me to Thailand. The decorations and big windows overlooking the Park are just lovely. The service and waiting staff was impeccable. I wish I was able to remember our server’s name, because she was so amazing. All of the staff were so accommodating and kind, and even made food preparations special for my mother who is extremely averse to coriander — and they did it happily! And finally, THE FOOD. They started us out with a complementary fried mushroom with sweet chili sauce. Amazing way to start! We tried all of our normal go-to Thai dishes as a true test — some form of rice wrap, chicken satay, and green curry chicken — as well as their Koong Pao King Prawn special. This food was truly extraordinary. So delicious and flavorful, yet so simply executed. You can tell they take their cuisine very seriously. I have no hesitation saying that this is the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten. I cannot wait to come back for takeaway and dinner many, many, MANY more times! :)
We celebrated my birthday here and we really enjoyed our time. Great variety of options on the vegetarian set menu. We really enjoyed the black rice, and green curry. We had never tried Thai broth before and the silky tofu melted in my mouth! Highly recommended, great ambience in a high end hotel and great service too.
We enjoyed a delightful vegetarian set menu at this restaurant, which was easily veganised by swapping the dessert. The food, including the papaya salad, corn fritters, pad thai, and veg green curry, was delicious, with authentic spicing. The restaurant's location, overlooking Hyde Park, added to the experience. Looking forward to returning and hoping to see expanded vegan options, such as a vegan massaman curry.
We have visited more than once.
We had a lovely dinner and lunch, we loved everything.
The ambiance is rather sophisticated with very comfortable seats. The food is tasty and authentic! Staff very polite.
The food is amazing ! My second time there and already planning the third.
The service could be nicer. They seemed in a hurry to undress our table and the chairs are strangely very low.
But I still recommend !
Dined here as staying in hotel. Reception managed to book us in as it was very busy. The staff are lovely and friendly. We were given prawn crackers whilst deciding to what to have.
We chose satay kai ( chargrilled chicken) £14 , por pia tod (spring rolls) £13 and toong ngern yuang (prawn dumplings) £15
Main course we chose sweet and sour chicken with vegetables £22 and a side of rice £6 and kuey tiew phad see iew kai ( flat noodles with chicken mushrooms tomatoes chilli basil) £17 .
I drank water but husband and daughter had a glass bottle of coke which at £7 each I thought was expensive. The food is all presented beautifully though my husband thought the starters were expensive for what you got but very flavoursome. The main of noodles for me was too spicy to enjoy and the sweet snd sour was enjoyed but rice was not cooked well was stuck together and rubbery.
Went for Thai here Sunday night , Mayfair. To nicely round off a London Christmas weekend. Excellent food and service. The Living Legend Nile Rogers was in for supper , was happy to speak to us.
Amazing food in an amazing hotel. One of best Thai restaurants in London. Friendly and polite staff. Classy and sophisticated setting.
Quality food and perfect spice. Recommend.
Great food! Best thai iced tea i’ve ever had. Friendly staff. The coconut ice cream was so light and yummy.
We told Nipa Thai we were celebrating my birthday. They found a table next to the window with views of Hyde Park. The food was lovely and at the end they surprised us by bringing out a cake and singing happy birthday! A great evening to remember for years to come.
