We’re going to go ahead and say it: you won’t find more beautiful-looking Thai food in Edinburgh than at Noks Kitchen. You’re also unlikely to find Thai food that tastes better, or a Thai menu that’s as pleasingly far away from the norm as this one is. As you can tell, we really like Noks Kitchen and we know that you will as well. You’ll find Noks on Gloucester Street in Stockbridge where the restaurant itself small, intimate and well-decorated with a combination of exposed stone, dark furniture and a few homey Thai touches.

In terms of what you can expect from the menu, on the Noks Kitchen lunch menu you can pick up two terrific courses for £9.95, whilst the dinner menu is laced with further quality. Begin with a vibrant Thai salad or soup before moving onto a curry in the way of a classic massaman or panang. The grilled duck red curry made with a variation of fruits is also a sensation, while the pad sam sa hai from the wok, prepared with asparagus, king prawns, scallops and monkfish is an absolute must try. Diner of Edinburgh and Stockbridge can also look forward to plenty of fresh seafood, done just right on the grill.
