"The Royal Thai has been dishing up the most authentic Thai delights for more than two decades in a restaurant of almost decadent elegance and charm. It’s a colourful culinary experience that has seen customers from all over Aberdeen and the north-east come back again and again to the Crown Street premises. However, it is not resting on its laurels as the longest-established Thai restaurant in Aberdeen. The Royal Thai has recruited a top new head chef, Yiam Dokpudsha, from Edinburgh. “It was not a difficult decision for me to make to leave the capital of Scotland for the oil capital of Europe,” says the Thai cooking wizard. “The Royal Thai has a great reputation and I am proud to be taking it forward to new heights with an exciting new menu.”
So what is the key to the restaurant’s success as a paradise of Oriental flavours? The answer is simple. Thai cuisine is defined by the inventive use of exotic and fresh ingredients, making for distinctive, vibrant flavours and contrasting textures. Fresh seafood is a vital ingredient of authentic Thai food and the sea’s choicest offerings are delivered daily to the kitchen. The Royal Thai prides itself on bringing gastronomic pleasure to its patrons so you can expect a seamlessly enjoyable experience. The place has an inviting ambience and there is an extensive w**e list to complement the beautifully presented dishes. Our charming staff go out of their way to make sure your culinary needs are met in full and that you enjoy the best of service. Just one bit of advice. As Aberdeen’s best loved and most respected Thai restaurant, it is advisable to book in advance, especially if you are hoping to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere, mystical aromas and magical tastes any time over the weekend. What is the Thai restaurant of choice of the Thai community in the north-east? Yes, it’s the Royal Thai." - Peter Mitchell 'Press & Journal'
