About Mai Thai
This rather chic Thai is tucked away between the Tun and Pizza Express at the bottom of Holyrood Road, which means it's often packed with parliamentarians and journalists at lunchtime, and quieter in the evenings. Its modern look matches its name – fresh, bright and garden-like with pots of ferns and bamboos and colourful paintings. Seating is either at long rows of teak tables along or in hideaway sofa booths in the large bar area. Generous portions are presented for sharing. Neatly divided, the menu is big so to help you choose may we recommend the beef rendang curry, and the really good scallop curry from the seafood specialties list. A small selection of desserts including a wonderfully exotic fresh fruit salad. Super friendly service.
Please note - this restaurant does not take lunchtime bookings from toptable.
Opening hours:
Mon - Sat 12pm - 2pm and 6pm - 10pm

Review
We attended Mai Thai in Edinburgh between Christmas and New Year so it was relatively quiet. The service was excellent, they were attentive and explained the menu to us very well. The food was great and well presented. Although they had no sticky rice which disappointed two members of our group. The toilets were superficially clean. However, if you looked a bit harder they were a bit dirty round the edges.

This is the third time we have been to Mai Thai and unfortunately it does not compare to the 1st time we were there. It was a tuesday night so it was not busy, we were seated and ordered our food fine. The food is great but once we were finished we had to wait ages to get the bill as the staff were nowhere to be seen. I do recommend it if you like thai food but there seems to be no consistency in service.Review
Despite the excellent food, the service was very poor. Long waiting times for the starter and the bill there was an occasion where our order of prawn crackers was forgotten and required a reminder. Still, this could have been a one off and the quality of the food would make me return although another poor showing on the service front would make me thing again.Visitors
