"This little gem is located on a quiet street just a stone's throw from The Meadows, a short walk from the main accommodation and teaching facilities of the University of Edinburgh, and only a 15-20 minute walk from the castle and the Royal Mile, and it's worth the wander. While its appearance from the outside is unassuming, the welcome inside is far from that, and the food is wonderful. We enjoyed a selection of delicious starters and Thai soups, followed by tasty curries, noodles, and rice, all in generous portions and served with the widest of smiles. The prices are very good, ideal for a family meal or visiting a family member studying at the university (like us). In terms of cost, the restaurant has the additional advantage of allowing you to bring your own alcohol: Gary, the owner (who runs the operation along with his partner and his excellent and friendly team) no longer sells alcohol on the premises, preferring to encourage customers to drink their own beverage (with no corkage fees), which, if needed, can be purchased at a store directly across the street from the restaurant. So, for a wonderful meal at a modest cost, Thai Laos has a plethora of options. We loved it, and will definitely be back."
