Thai Orchid - Menu

Amazing Thai Food. Very good service. Although the place can be a little crowded and can make you feel quite cramped up but the food just made it up to it. The Thai Red and Green curry especially have made it worth while. Absolutely fantastic.

Firstly they made us wait even though we had a reservation. The food was very mediocre yet very expensive. The service was indifferent. They took our time to pay a card machine. Wouldn't recommend. There are better Thai restaurants in Edinburgh.

The foods were very much sub standard for thai restaurant. The only reason i gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because thai resto is hard to find in edinburgh. Ordered a pad see yew but what came out was a pad thai like dish which was tasteless. Service was equally bad, the waitresses were not helpful at all. View menu

Great food, great staff. The place is very cozy and we choose it due to the fact that it was near to our home and we wanted to have some Asian food. It is amazing and the price we pay (given the price that we pay for meals in Edinburgh) is very fair. Plenty of food and some nice mint chocolate at the end with the bill. We really enjoyed it.

This place is tucked away right in the heart of theold town (tourist district) behind the castle but a step away from the hustle bustle. The place is run by a group of ladies (one family I think) including the bar, servicex and kitchen. This place serves only Thai food and the food is mouthwatering abd top notch quality. The portion size is adequate, service is quick and the staff is very friendly and helpful. My advice, try Gaeng Pa Pak, Seua Rong Hai Tiger Cry and Prawns Preiw Wan from food menu. You can wash it down with Thai Cold tea or Singha (Thai beer)

Overall impression. Good portions. Average flavor. Too sweet. Meat was a little dry I ordered the Moo Ping (grilled pork with sweet chilli sauce) and the beef massaman curry. Presentation was nice, the the appetizer was served alongside the main dish which was a little confusing There was something not quite right with the massaman curry. I couldn't tell if it was cooked at too high of a temp or if there was too much curry paste However, the banana fritter served at the end was pretty good. The ice cream was pretty cheap, but the batter and crispiness of the friend banana made up for it. View menu

Great Thai in Edinburgh We arrived in Edinburgh and wanted something light after a long train ride from London. This place was close to our hotel so we stopped in. Service was excellent as was the food. We each had the tom kha gai (American bastardization of actual name) which was flavorful and the chicken was so tender and delicious. We shared the panang curry as we were no longer very hungry it would have been the perfect portion for one. We added a jasmine rice which was perfectly cooked. Wine was good and all prices were reasonable. They don’t add the service charge like in London so you have to remember to tip. Lucked into a great find with this one.

I love thai food. Can't get enough. So any chance to try a new one I am more than keen I love that this is a proper family-run, Thai. The food is wonderfully authentic and the staff are lovely I started with chicken satay, one of my favourite dishes. This was MUCH better than your typical Chinese take-away- the chicken was deliciously chargrilled and the sauce was wonderfully fresh I went for a panang, which was AMAZING. Usually I can't stand fruit in a savoury dish, but the peaches in the curry were delightful This is quite a small place so if you are planning to go at the weekend book ahead. This is definitely worth a visit if you're near the royal mile.

On the quest for the best Thai in Edinburgh, we continued with a trip to thai orchid. The menu looked a lot more varied than others, and it's in a great spot just behind the castle. I opted for the prawns wrapped in an egg parcel, which was light and full of flavour. It came with a delicious sweet chilli dip. Then I had the monkfish red curry. The curry itself was delicious and not too hot. As there was 4 of us, we got rice to share and the portion we got was more than enough, I managed seconds to soak up more of that tasty sauce! One thing to note-they mark the heat of dishes on the menu...trust the chilli gauge! My boyfriend didn't and ended up regretting his choices as it all got a bit...... View menu
