In the Royal Lancaster Hotel, the Nipa Thai restaurant has been named after the original Nipa Restaurant in the Landmark Hotel in Bangkok. Lots of teak panelling, traditional Thai furnishings and artefacts lend an authentic air. All the staff dressed in traditional Thai costume are from Thailand - even the lady chefs. This authentic Thai restaurant is one of the first 15 recipients of the 'Thai Select' award - this award has been described as being the first ever Michelin-style award for Thai restaurants proven to be performing to the highest standards of quality and cuisine, and is awarded by the Thai Government. We think this award sums up Nipa Thai rather nicely. What's cooking? Kai Haw Bai Toey - deep fried marinated chicken in pandanus leaves, Kaeng Kiew Warn Kai - chicken in green curry soup, also recommended the Nipa platter - a selection of the chef's special Thai starters.

    We loved our lunch yesterday at Hawksmoor for my son's birthday. Seb was immediately greeted with a Happy Birthday as we arrived. Our server Paul was fantastic and my younger son enjoyed the banter with him (as did we all) yet he was also extremely professional and excellent at what he does. Struck the balance perfectly! Food was delicious. Seb loved the Happy 18th Seb message on his plate and secretly enjoyed having the whole restaurant sing him happy birthday! The wrong dessert came out for Seb but this was immediately rectified and we ended up keeping the extra desert at no cost so came out feeling extremely full up! Thank you again- you made Seb's 18th birthday really special.

    Welcomed us as soon as we got through the door. Very polite and professional staff. Showed us to our seat at the bar before taking us down to the table. Always checked on us and was always smiling and put us first. The food service extremely good & the food and dishes was out of this world with extreme taste and flavour.

    It was our wedding anniversary. We booked in advance which you must as it do gets very busy. We were in the Paddington area an hour before our 8.45 booking so we told them as we passed and they did call us as soon as a table was free. Which was a nice gesture from them. Then we were also given a glass of bubbly each and we felt very special. One of the other guests also bought us a drink as he’d noticed the fuss and it was just wonderful. We were very well taken care of by 2 people in particular. Alfredo and Fabrizio were brilliant, attentive and so friendly. The food was also spectacular and all our dishes were amazing. Thank you so much for a beautiful evening. X
