The dishes served up by this popular Thai restaurant are bursting with flavor and are reasonably well-priced; calamari, prawn green curry and smoked grilled aubergine are particular favorites washed down with a beer or a smoothie. Service is fast and efficient and the friendly staff is always willing to offer suggestions.

Nipa, an award-winning Thai restaurant, is the twin sister of the Nipa in Bangkok’s Landmark Hotel.

Nipa is also one of an elite selection of Thai restaurants in the UK to have received the "Thai Select" award from the Thai Government for restaurants proven to have achieved the highest standards of quality and cuisine. To perfectly compliment this, Nipa has also received a 2 AA Rosette for its precise, authentic cooking with incredible attention to detail.

This warm and friendly restaurant brings a taste of the verdant Esarn area of North-East Thailand to West London.

For those who are relative novices, the staff are always willing to make suggestions or adjust the spiciness of their often fiery dishes.
