Authentic Thai restaurant Nottingham

The restaurant "Zaap Thai Street Food" in Nottingham, England, is a remarkable culinary experience that brings the essence of Thai street markets straight to the heart of Great Britain. It stands out distinctly from other restaurants due to its authentic atmosphere and fresh, flavorful cuisine. As soon as you enter, you feel transported to the bustling streets of Bangkok. The decor is a true highlight: neon lights, colorful tuk-tuks, Thai artworks, and even a replica of train tracks with a train car create a vibrant, almost tangible illusion of a Thai market. This thoughtful design makes the visit not only a delight for the palate but also for the eyes.

Best Thai cuisine in Nottingham

Zaap's kitchen is designed to reflect the flavors of Thailand as authentically as possible. The ingredients are freshly prepared, and the dishes showcase the diversity and spiciness of Thai street food. Particularly noteworthy is the "Pad Thai," a classic that impresses with perfectly balanced ingredients like crunchy peanuts and tender noodles. Equally popular is the "Som Tum," a spicy papaya salad variant from Northeast Thailand that invigorates the taste buds with its heat and freshness. For curry lovers, the "Massaman Curry" offers a comforting depth of flavor with its rich sauce and tender meat or tofu. The "Tom Yum" soup, a spicy and creamy delight, is also a favorite and is meant to be shared—true to the spirit of Thai dining culture.

Guests can specify their preferred level of spiciness, allowing the dishes to be tailored to individual tastes—a service that ensures both spice enthusiasts and more cautious eaters find satisfaction.

One of the best Thai food places I have ever been to! Ask for Thai Style and Thai Spicy. They WILL deliver.

I didn't eat much here but from what I've seen it was spectacular, there seems to be a place where immigrants from Thailand use to go so that should be a good point in the favor of the restaurant ... The starters I asked tasted very good , and looked really fresh! The atmosphere is like a street market , very noisy but not too much , a friendly place , the right choice if you're looking for Thai food in Nottingham.

I felt like I was back in Thailand😍 I love the interior idea, one of the coolest I’ve seen for a while. Papaya salad tasted just like it’s supposed to taste like, delicious

Been at least half a dozen times, utterly disinterested staff then the utter shock when then I asked for the service charge to be taken off. The cheek to even dispute it. Not a bitter twisted keyboard warrior but someone who has had much better service every time I’ve been there

A completely delightful experience! The atmosphere perfectly captured the energy of Bangkok street food, and the menu offered a fantastic array of choices. The service was both friendly and efficient. Most importantly, the food was absolutely superb – a genuine taste of Thailand, and the finest I've encountered outside the country

Went to Zaap Nottingham on 21 February 2024, great food, flavours and service. Had Tom Yam soup with Chicken and Pad Thai with prawns and tofu and the Thai green papaya salad. Service by Ploy was fantastic, very attentive and friendly.

Food was ordered and it was supposed to be the Thai red curry with the lesser amount of spice and it was wildly over hot. There were so many pieces of raw red chill in it!! I’m a well versed Thai food eater and regular customer, so something was off that night.

Excellent food and service. Food came really quickly and the staff were so friendly. We were there for a really early dinner, but the place was still pretty busy. Both had a dish of the specials menu, and the food was different and interesting, with a good kick.

Fun place, great service, but the food wasn't for me, grey fatty pork looked so grim swimming in oil in a dark broth that resembled bin juice🤮 On an upnote the Bao buns with chicken satay were lush 👍

Went here for Valentine’s Day, for the first time. 30 minute wait for a table which was a positive sign as people were willing to queue on their special day for this place. The food was incredible and really well priced. The decor and overall vibe and atmosphere was so cool and unique. Service was excellent, especially Poppy who was lovely and made our night. Will 100% be returning soon.

I ordered the Pad Sae Aew with Tofu on Deliveroo. Usually it is excellent, but this time there were only 2 pieces of tofu.

I love Thai food and Zaap offers a huge menu to suit all tastes. I was really impressed with the care they took regarding my friend's peanut allergy. The service is always great here, as well as the food, the only reason I gave it a four star is the space, it can feel cramped when busy.

A hidden gem of Nottingham in my opinion. It looks exactly like a Thai street market. The food was freshly prepared too and was amazing. Definitely the best Thai food I've eaten. I highly recommend the chicken pad Thai. The staff were really nice too and we're very caring. I highly recommend this place and I will be coming back.
