Their "off the hook" food "rocks my world", raves Tom G, who struggles not to order from this treasure every night.

Nikki A's favourite dish is always Thai green curry, and she reckons that the one served here is "as good as the TGC you get in Thailand itself". It's "well cooked with lots of different flavours without any of them being too overpowering".
Thairiffic

49a Thistle Street, New Town, Edinburgh
Poor James W has got it bad! "I have been twice now in a month", he swoons, and even now the "authentic" nosh of this establishment "is calling me back". So, what's got him so hooked? "The duck is to die for."
BKK Thai

Michelle M raves "the chicken satay with accompanying peanut sauce literally took me back to the Hawker Stalls in Singapore where I used to buy satay sticks to snack on. The peanut sauce was nicely flavoured and not overpowering."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
