In the Royal Lancaster Hotel, the Nipa Thai restaurant has been named after the original Nipa Restaurant in the Landmark Hotel in Bangkok. Lots of teak panelling, traditional Thai furnishings and artefacts lend an authentic air. All the staff dressed in traditional Thai costume are from Thailand - even the lady chefs. This authentic Thai restaurant is one of the first 15 recipients of the 'Thai Select' award - this award has been described as being the first ever Michelin-style award for Thai restaurants proven to be performing to the highest standards of quality and cuisine, and is awarded by the Thai Government. We think this award sums up Nipa Thai rather nicely. What's cooking? Kai Haw Bai Toey - deep fried marinated chicken in pandanus leaves, Kaeng Kiew Warn Kai - chicken in green curry soup, also recommended the Nipa platter - a selection of the chef's special Thai starters.

Lovely food, beautifully presented, with generous portion sizes—truly the real deal for authentic Thai cuisine. Every bite was a delight! The only downside was the miserable weather and the hefty £30 parking charge, but the meal itself was worth it.

Nice restaurant - don't be put off the fact it is in a hotel as, once in the restaurant, it has a true restaurant feel. The food was great and service very attentive.

Great food but a little pricey. The set menu is worth a try as it gives you a taste of everything. Pad Thai is worth tasting as is the fish
